Sneaky Old Habits


it all started because i ordered some bras ...lol. They were delivered to my old house where xah lives. So i had to call him and call to send them to me...which opened a line of communication that has virtually been sealed for 9 mths . Now, he has lots of questions about the house, his doctor,bills etc that his sis in law overloaded with tons of family problems including him, didnt know.

So he calls and i fall back easily into spewing answers, offering advice and guidance..THEN I GET OFF PHONE AND YELL " OMG !!!!! IM DOING IT AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!" STOP STOP ALYCE."

GIVE ME STRENGTH AND SERENITY HP, BECAUSE I FELL BACK INTO OLD HABITS ... MUST STOP COLD !!

*((((Alyce))) Remember that it is Progress not perfection we seek It took us a long time to even recognize the destructive tools that we had developed and it will take time to shed them completely.
On a positive note at least you saw it immediately and reached for support .
