I have read your sitch earlier in my journey. Since the unveiling of the most recent even in my journey, I find that things I read before have a new meaning. Going back and looking at your thread, I have found more similarities that have jumped out at me. These seem minor, but really, in our shoes, really impact our lives.
You stated, "...my father was not at all available while I grew up. We barely had a relationship. He got sober when I was 16 & today I have the greatest dad ever I would not be as positive today as I am without his guidance."
and
"I also dont drink any more which I think has really been an amazing overall mood enhancer. When I rarely have 1 drink in the evening I feel it when I wake up and wonder how I was regularing drinking 2-3 glasses a night."
Anyway, I just found that interesting. You are amazing and an inspiration for me. How we keep it together sometimes is a miracle in itself! And the audasity of these ow.... oh please!
