Something I shouldn't be doing, but I really care so here goes... Well, I'm a recovering Alcoholic/Drug Addict.

When we're confused or in pain, our sponsor or people in meetings sometimes tells us to "write about it." Though we may groan as we drag out the notebook, we know that it will help. By laying it all out on paper, we give ourselves the chance to sort through what's bothering us. We know we can ge...

Now i'm getting frusterated. I'm edgy and just flat irritated. I usually start drinking around 4pm (after work) and I know that I can't.
