love this ! not going to the baby shower now, hubby is sick. so glad and thankful I don't have to be there with a really good reason, and not my quit. so this is a good post for me today.
You managed to say so much with so few words! I appreciate and trust your knowledge. Recovery comes first! It's not selfish to admit that you aren't watertight or ready to throw yourself into the deep end...it's healing.
The journey requires the right amount of preparation. Half cocked and shooting yourself in the foot comes to mind.
