i also slept alone in the house last night for the very first time EVER and survived. i rock! i needed to know that Kidlet would be ok up north by herself and that i would be ok at home, so yesterday,
and, since i didn't really like my chemically induced bubble, i ditched the Ambien, tossed the Ativan and cut back my Lexapro. did i give up my wine? of course NOT!!!!
none of this would have been accomplished without friends and family . . . none of it. baby steps. little tiny baby steps. i remind myself constantly that i can do this. i've done it before and i can do it again. i can. i will. i just thought i would never have to. big sigh.

Jeanne,
You are doing a great job. You put my well being ahead of your own, today. That was a BIG step and you really helped me.
Thanks,
WC
Those baby steps will be so hard. But you are stong and you can do this. Big hugs to you.
One of the things that so impressed me throughout this long, difficult journey was how strong you were...and are! I know it is even harder now to forge that path alone, and will sometimes feel impossible, but you will make it. Because you won't let yourself do anything less.
Much love and many hugs!
