Thanks for the kind words. It's been incredibly difficult. I wish you luck if you're feeling as if you need to cut down or quit too. It's very hard. xxoo Tammy Hi Miss CrankyPants,
I think I was more so admitting that I feel as if I need it too much, if you know what I mean. Thanks for the kind words. It’s been incredibly difficult. I wish you luck if you’re feeling as if you need to cut down or quit too. It’s very hard.
xxoo Tammy

I need to go on the wagon...I just lack willpower! Good for you for admitting that you don’t need it and stopping. I need to go on the wagon…I just lack willpower!

I am glad to hear that you were able to see your dad. I am sorry that he is dying. I wish you peace. I am glad to hear that he is being fed now. You're probably right on about the feeding tube improving his mood. Do you have a journal? Your email address is awesome, by the way :) Tammy Hi Ashleas! I am glad to hear that you were able to see your dad. I am sorry that he is dying. I wish you peace.

I did go home and see my dad and I'm glad I did. Still sad, but somewhat happier. He seemed brighter than he has in a long time.. I blame it on the fact that he's finally on a feeding tube after doing the whole chemo starvation diet for a year. Lol :D Just to let you know.. I did go home and see my dad and I’m glad I did.

I know exactly what you mean about the kindness you have witnessed from the workers you have met in fields such as custodial...I've had exactly the same experience. I've always considered myself a member of the working class, and I feel no shame in saying that. Getting to know people instead of dismissing them based on their job is something that a lot of the so called upper crusts individuals don't even bother with and they really miss out on some wonderful coworkers. Thanks for the words of support. I don't feel so strong, but I feel better, if that makes sense. Baby steps. Hi K, I have been reading your journal but I haven't commented in awhile. Thank you for the encouragement. I do feel good at this job and I haven't been taking much crap, which is a big step for me. I read what you wrote about the disappearing food at your house. We are going through the same thing here with two teens, like if we don't eat fast enough everything is gone. I still haven't drank alcohol and it's been several days. I hope that you are doing well and I am glad that you took the time to comment here. Thursday, Thank you. I have an idea of some of the many reasons you said yay to me and it made me grin broadly. I have no idea why the font on my message to Ashleas is different than the rest of my post. I figured I'll just leave it but if Alex sees it I know he'll fix it immediately because it will bug him. Anyway, it wasn't intentional. You ladies are the best. xxoo Hi Belle, How have you been?

I think lots of water is a brilliant substitution. Your skin will love you for it. I meant to tell you how happy I am that you got the job. I hope you are happy there and I hope you don't take any crap from anyone. I think everyone has secret sorrows/baggage which the world knows nothing about. I think it would make things easier, sometimes, if we trusted each other enough to share those things. Good luck with the no drinking thing. I think lots of water is a brilliant substitution.

Yay on you for giving up the drinking! You know, I've worked with lots of professionals and upper crusts over the years but the most caring people have always been the maintenance guys, the janitors, the peons. Maybe because I actually talk with them, listen to them, and respect what they do, but they've always covered my back and gone out of their way to be helpful. I'm glad you have someone there that watches out for you. And, that last sentence of yours was a killer. :) Oh, you are so much stronger than you think you are and that comes through loud and clear.
