I have a goal today. My ipod is broke. When you open an app it will click over to voice control or just turn the app I am using off...It's terrible for candy crush saga...getting it fixed today. I also have a somewhat personal problem...I'm down to one bra and underwear, who let's things get this bad, I did. Getting new ones's today. I also need a pair of shoes for work, getting them today. I asked two of my bestest friends that I have neglected, to meet me out to lunch. I haven't seen them in so long because I'm always preoccupied with a certain AH in my life. Yes, I will have my kids with me, but in all honesty, I want them there with me. Point is, I am doing stuff I need and want to do today, it's just like the serenity prayer and the thought of being able to do this stuff is liberating. I am actually really excited to have an afternoon away! My AH said there is nothing I can do or say to make him stop drinking. and he is right, Let go and Let God...my HP is handling this, and today I'm handling me...NO EXCUSES!
LOL..... boy do I know about the underwear need. I have let it go for so long its sad. It's amazing how much we neglect ourselves because of others. One day at time, one step at a time and we get our lives back..
Take care ((( hugs )))

I recently got measured for new underwear and everyday it reminds me that I did something to take care of me!
I really liked reading that you accepted that you can't stop the AH drinking - I need to get this realisation right to my toes not just words in my mouth
Well, now! That is very, very good news. Enjoy yourself as you tend to your own needs. Nothing like being a friend to ourselves.
