This evening I am going to meet my family on vacation, I have extreme anxiety with travel, but I have learned to deal with it and have gotten somewhat better. I used to freak out starting about a week before I would go somewhere, make sure the weather was going to be OK, check roads, […]
The reminders are everywhere, they are at home, at work my car, my son’s face and actions. I hope my anger won’t last forever, but sometimes I just want to throw everything out in the street. My office is basically a shrine to him, his collections and belongings are all here, at home his clothes […]
When life is busy all you want is a little bit of time to yourself, but when it happens it seems to be the total different for me now. Growing up that’s all you wanted was some time to yourself, time away from your parent’s so that maybe for once you wouldn’t be in trouble […]
Up until my son was born I struggled to find something to focus my energy on, I can honestly say that he has helped me with my anxiety and troubles. Sure, I worry about his well being every single day, but his smile and laughter makes that all go away and there is nothing in […]

Does the fact that anyone else had an addicted parent help your cause? I guess what i’m trying to say does it keep you from following in the same path? I know in college i drank alittle on the weekends, but after that I have never had the problem or desire. Beer always tasted nasty […]
Maybe someone can help explain to me why Monday’s are so bad? It’s not even the fact that it begins a new work week, I actually enjoy my job. It seems that on Monday’s my mind tends to wander and mess with me more than any other day of the week. It is a nice […]
I grew up in a small town called Sophia. Not a big town at all 1 elementary school and a middle school and high school in an adjacent community. It seems so much different today than it did growing up, seems that drugs and addiction have taken a grip on this small community, it seems […]
