You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day.
Marian Wright Edelman
In my opinion lots of us (addicts) have the perfectionism thing going on. In our minds. I am so obsessed with succeeding after my "big mistake" Proving to the world that I am not that ex-con druggie but in fact a successfull single mother. It can be good for the fact that I keep pushing myself to do better. But I would like to remind myself that it isn't about the big WIN. Its just doing the best you can do everyday in spite of your circumstances. Just for today I am going to the best I can do.
Much love and respect,
Jane
PS I don't feel so tuff today my root canals are aching still 3 days later I am hurting. I have had tons of Motrin 800 and anti biotics WAAAA! If I sounded tuff in my earlier post "I have no pain" - What a dumb a**! Did I really think I would escape with no pain. OUCH. Well here is reality I hurt but I still have taken no pain pills. Yeay?
Yeay?
Hell yes Yeay Jane!
You're near the end, you proved you could do it. I'm so proud of you.

Thanks Redd. Smiling through tears here. Thanks for seeing the positive side your right I have to be close to the end of the pain huh? I am crossing my fingers as I go into the weekend I am afraid of being stuck with severe pain and no dentist until Monday. I don't know what he would do anyway its got to get better soon.
Love you,
Jane
Love you,

I know its hard Jane, but you'll get there...and be a lot stronger for it.
Is motrin helping at all? I'm sorry you're hurting. It sucks that we can't take pain meds for what they're for.
