You are doing fine. It is probably a good idea to "wean" yourself off it rather than doing a complete "cold turkey".
I tried to email you earlier, but I think you are over your limit.
I hope things have slowed down for you in your sitch.
I had a nice long talk to Virginia over the phone last night. Her experience and advice was amazing, and I felt really good after speaking with her.
I was having a bit of a downer on Mon and Tue when I was in Canberra (hence not posting for a few days). I was recieving a commendation and medal at work with a few other workmates, and I was the only one not to have my family share the moment.
DD got excited when I got home last night, and wants to take the medal in to school for show and tell, but it just wasn't the same as having them there.
But the irony of all of this was that the commendation and medal I recieved was for work I had undertaken when my R with W was taking a turn for the worse. I think the trip away (to do this job) was the straw that broke the camels back.
When you look at it, I probably deserved to be alone when I recieved it.
