Lost it, then found it again
Well, I’m certainly glad I posted then. Believe me, I understand completely
how you feel. I dare say most people on this board understand.
You won’t regret it, I promise. I still think one of the most important ABC’s
I worked on was the one I did when I antipated a huge blowup between me and my
family. Every time I look back on that night and how volatile our relationship
had become, I am convinced that those ABC’s prepared me to deal with a
situation that in the past would ended in a chain-smoking all-nighter pity
party. The night was still a bit bumpy but that’s all, bumpy. My quit
survived; I don’t think I even came close to losing it.
Good for you. You kept your quit, figured out the problem and now you’re
working on the solution (right?). In the past, you’d have said, To Hell With
It, I’ll just have a smoke and try to forget about it.
I wonder if you will look back in a few months and say ‘thank goodness they
wouldn’t let me be alone all the time.’ Let me know.
Oh, boy, I’m never going to live that down, am I?
