Keep it Simple


All my loved ones are struggling with physical and/or emotional problems.  Today especially, I feel like I am struggling too.  Life with a dry drunk is so hard to handle, that at times, like this one, I need to lean into program to get through this day.  ODAT, OHAT, and perhaps OMAT.  I know I can do it, I just feel overwhelmed and sad.  I need to Keep it Simple, Let go and let God, and always remember, This too shall pass.

((Lyne)). It is indeed difficult living with a dry drunk. I remember very well toward the end of my marriage no longer caring if husband was a wet drunk or a dry drunk because either version had a real thinking problem that leaked out in ways I didn't want to see, hear or mitigate against anymore. In my online travels of other groups, the dry drunk is sometimes confused with a sober partner. Having enough program to know better as you do allows the switching of gears I read in your post. It used to be so familiar to me to isolate myself from the world as a protection mechanism. I didn't have the program tools you've described back then. Thank you for your example of life on life's terms 🙏 I hope you're feeling better today.
