Eric - if you read HALF of what I wrote, I hope you had a drink in hand. As you know, putting things on "paper" is therapeutic -whether or not you are lucky enough to get quality advice as a result of it........AND I prefer Merlot - you don't have to (wait to)chill it, and you get those antioxidant benefits.
BUT - I didn't need the wine. I kind of half a$$ diagnosed myself as co-dependent a long time ago - but thought with detachment and time I could just "get over it." I guess that's part of the DENIAL.
Anyway......the book is on order - not just in my cart (like last time). It's way past time to get to work. I'm ready.
