I was raised to:
-not make waves.
-work very hard.
-make other people happy.
I carried that ethic into adult life & got carried away w/it. I had a demanding career where I did more than my share. At home as a wife & mother, I did the same thing. It's no surprise that the only way I found to relax & kick back was w/alcohol. Nothing else had the reliable, no-frills remedy that I felt I needed. Now, I have to learn to:
-ask for help.
-say what's on my mind.
If I fall back into my old ways, I know I'll drink.
I hope all of you are well & happy.
Love, Mary
