OMG Mike you are a crack up!! Glad to see you got your profile back! 
Also, whatever you just posted today sounds like something out of a movie! I am fully intrigued. My heart goes out to that poor boys family…

Addiction is a strange thing. I treated an alcoholic this week (I’m in healthcare). She was probably going to lose her job and had really screwed up. I thought to myself “it would be great to sneak drinks and go to work drunk like she did”. What a strange and unhelpful thought. I’ve often looked upon homeless alcoholics and been jealous of them drinking in the daytime, feeling it must be so nice to have that buzz on during the day, watching the city go by.
It’s crazy.
I’ve had a stressful day today. I really need to go out once the kids are asleep and do a few chores but there are too many booze stores nearby and I think I just need to stay home. It’s frustrating. I guess I just need to be patient and focus on staying sober today.

Totally. I’m having trouble separating the art from the artist so I’m taking a break from her and her works entirely. But I imagine I won’t be able to stay away forever. They were too influential on my life.

This is something I saw somewhere. The fact that the minimum wage should be enough for a single person to afford a house. As having a roof over one’s head is a right.
Good to see you stepping out Tommi!

Checking in, Day 111
I managed to get every thing done that I needed to get done yesterday… kinda by the last minute…
My best friend who passed away came up on my FB memories yesterday. It was this wine and painting night we did years ago. I hadnt seen this photo in sooo long… and I just balled my eyes out. Her painting was so good and mine was so bad 
… But God, she was so much fun. I hadnt seen this memory come up before and it felt like she was there in spirit and all these songs came on that reminded me of her and it really felt like she was looking down on me. 
Felt good to cry. I needed a good cry. I layed on the floor of my garage and just let it all out. It was nice to feel something even if it was just a huge wave of sadness because Ive just been feeling very numb for a long time.
@DanielleRose Sorry to hear about your mom. Its good she has a healthy lifestyle, she will be fine!
@Lisa07 I hope your husband gets better soon! Did they every find out what was wrong with him? Good luck on your test! You will do great!

I’m sorry to hear that your partner and friends didn’t support you, that must be tough. Coming out is really hard, you can lose so much, but on the other hand you lose yourself if you don’t take that step.
I also believe that children are super accepting, especially if they see, that it is the good, right and basically the only way for the other person. But tearing the family apart is a different story. I need time to think everything through. I’m glad that I’m sober, I couldn’t have dealt with this problem while drinking.

I was moody today and kind of angry but finally after praying most of the day I realized that a Higher Power calmed me down

I was thinking yesterday how the older I get the more disregarded I feel, especially from young folks. I thought I’ve made it through a lifetime of crap so I should be revered, lol
