Good evening Monica,
sorry you are feeling under the weather today. It’s hard for one to get work ready when they can’t afford the non toxic medicine they need. I’d love to see the look on some of these work coaches faces if people went in dragging IV poles and being pushed in hospital beds. But quite often they are only doing what they are being made do and don’t agree with it themselves behind closed doors. Stress and anxiety can aggravate your stomach, but I’m sure poor diet can as well. And having a sore stomach before a meeting would give anyone anxiety and stress as to whether they can make it etc.
Happy Birthday Monica, you survived this addiction to blow out another candle. Something would not let you keep going. You are here. You may be down but you are not out! I hope you can spend part of that birthday money on some food that you get to eat (Paws off Pete!). As hard as you’ve been knocked about you are still worrying about everyone else. Your mom, other people dealing with poverty level benefits, even Pete and the dog. I know they are hanging on just outside the fringes of this post lol.
I hope you are able to find some more inspirational shows and treat or two. I wouldn’t call it two steps back, I’d say one step forward, and hold!
Laura
