One of the tenant’s of AA is that you need to take care of yourself first. I recently celebrated three years sober last Sunday. Prior to that I hadn’t had a drink for a year. My life didn’t improve until I started going to AA.

To: Mean Daddy

Congratulations, Mean Daddy. I think AA is the way to go; at least there is someone you can call (?) when things get difficult.

I hate this!

I am in a program, but it’s weekly. They say that at three months, your brain chemicals change and it gets a lot better (dopamine, etc.).

I don’t know when things shifted from normal to impossible.. You know? It would have been nice if God had given us a heads-up. ;) Although maybe that’s the point. :)

Thank you for the smile on my face... I wish you the best, always, FRiend. :)

Take care,

Julie
