Candid

Ok, so I just got home from counseling and I am going to start being a little more candid on my blog than I usually am. For you my best friends, please know this is in no way a cry for help or need it is me going through my own recovery and healing process in which case you may sense or definitely hear some anger in my blogs.

Today I was asked if I have ever written a letter to Alcohol about how angry I am at it for a family member's addiction and the cause for me to lose two years of my life while constantly trying to help and take care of that family member.

They suggested I do it on my blog as I really don't know who might be reading this other than my best friends and this could actually help someone else. I'm going to do it. Not tonight, I am really angry with Alcohol and in reality I have to leave my house at 4:45 am for work tomorrow and just can't deal with that emotion right now.

But be warned I will be doing it this weekend and sharing. Please do not read it if you don't think you can but I am doing this for me and my recovery and healing and in the faintest hope that maybe someone out there in the cyber world will read it and feel like they too can write a letter to a family member's addiction that has taken years from them.

I love you all and thank you for being there for me and I appreciate this forum to get back to myself!

Summer read

I know summer is almost over but I highly recommend reading The Help. This book takes place in the 60's in Mississippi and shows both worlds of segregation in the South.

With August always feeling like back to school month I am preparing for my busy season at work. I will be busy this month cleaning out closets, the fridge, and the basement. It's time to get the scrapbooking and cardmaking and other crafting stuff out for the fall and winter. I'm finally starting to get back into all of my crafts and plan to learn some new ones including quilting.

I'm Back for a Minute!

Ok, so I totally suck at keeping in touch and keeping a blog up to date but I'm back. I don't have a lot of news except that I am in counseling working on some person items and am starting to feel like myself again.

I lost the bitch that is Sonja (the bitch in a good way!) and started caring way too much what everyone else thinks. I will try to get back on this blog full force and can't wait to reconnect with all of you!

I look forward to seeing what's going on in all your lives and giving you a glimpse of mine :)
