Sunday March 26

Hi folks. 115 for me. Took advantage of the rare opportunity to attend church with DD this morning. It was nice to spend some time with her and to understand that she's now seeking out her spiritual side. I guess this is a blessing that has come with her recent participation in 12 step programs.

Sitting home this afternoon trying to motivate myself to take care of some things that really need doing today but can't seem to get there! DH is doing some reno work on the RV and I'm a lazy loaf here. Please don't tell on me!

I went to a Memorial Mass for a friend's son who died from an overdose. It is such a tragedy. This kid had such a tremendous support system and so much access to care, but addiction is so powerful. They have started a foundation in his memory and are trying to help his friends. The sermon was geared towards the friends in attendance who are also struggling and offering them a life line. I was listening as an outsider, as if NONE of this pertained to ME, when it hit me hard. I already knew I was "addicted" to food, but never really equated myself with a true addict.

He ended the sermon by asking everyone to stop abusing (drugs/alcohol) today, choose life and live!
