Things have been really tense lately at home. My husband is out of work and it has put a little stress on me. He has been on a binge and is starting come off of it. It concerns me and when he comes off of his binge then I can confront him in a non confrontational way. I had slipped back a little bit. Not sleeping and getting up to see what he was doing. I went to a face to face meeting on Tuesday and I promised myself I would worry about myself and leave my husband to his higher power. I feel like a load has been lifted. It pains me to see him go through this but I didn't cause it I can't cure it and I sure can't control it. Things have been better the past couple of days because I have been putting the focus on me. I love my family and I love my job and I have wonderful people in my life. I have to focus on the positive because I don't want the dark to take over my light. Thanks guys!!!!
It makes a huge difference to have a clear head when the chaos is happening around me. It sounds like that's just where you are at!!
Hugs P :)

I am so glad you are back! I have thought about you. It is good to see you around.
When times are tough for me, I always make sure to make self care a priority. This place, face to face meetings, prayer and meditation, and working with others help me to stay in the center of my program when the tides are churning.
