"...if you don't take good care of yourself when you're alone, you'll end up thinking you're only important when you're with another person.

read this in a book that I'm reading "Curiosity Killed The Cat Sitter"
by Blaize Clement.

Very good post,

Yes I am very guilty of that one - I don't generally even eat during the day, just prepare the kids meals and then prepare an evening meal for myself and my husband. If he wasn't here I probably wouldn't bother. Well tonight he is away and I intend on having a nice dinner, nice bath and a watch a film of my choice

:h

KateH, The book is not a self help book or anything like that. It is one of those murder msyterises, girl is a pet sitter girl runs into dead body. One of my pleasures, reading "fun" mysteryies. Bed and Breakfsast, Janet Evanovich, Pennsylvania Dutch... there are boatloads of them. Alot have recipes in them... Murder and eating..
hmmm. I find little gems of wisdom in them and just good laughs..

Janet Evanovich is Pennsylvania Dutch??

I thought she was a New Jersey girl. I love her silly mysteries about Stephanie Plum.

I relate to Stephanie Plum, except the mascara thing...

Great to know.

Mwo2, this is a great post. I was just thinking today that no matter what program you follow, it has to be a program of action. You can't just sit around and wait for sobriety (or moderation) to come to you. You have to work at it each and every single day, you have to DO the things that RJ outlines in her book, follow the recommendations (in my case work the steps as well) to achieve the things that you are looking for in your life.

Treating YOURSELF well is one of those things. We can't rely on others to do it for us; and it is the times that we are alone that can be the most challenging. Sounds like you are headed on the right path and that is awesome!

Wow.

What a great post by AA. Yes.

We cannot "sit aroiund" and wait for it to happen.

We must DO it. We must DO IT.

Darn. You mean, it isn't as easy as just logging in and reading a book and taking supplement?

NOOOOO.

It isn't.

It IS all about taking control of our lives. Yes.

That sucks. It is about taking control of our lives and doing the "right" thing.

It is not easy, whether you are taking the supplements or not. It is much easier if we take the supplements. Not EASY.

We are here to take CONTROL of our lives.

Seriously.

Take CONTROL OF OUR LIVES!!!!!

No one else but "us" understanbd that.

We can do it.

We will do it if we care.

Love,
Cindi
