BangBang... you are such a model student... how can such thoughts be crossing your mind? LOL... we all have those days... but, I do remember that it usually was those days that I almost didn't go that I had the most valuable lessons it seemed... Be good to yourself- whatever that means to you!

Don't be that "good" to yourself! Fight that urge for the love of Pearl - or you will end up like me!!!! (That should put enough fear in ya!)

I'm an Advocate

Please don't drink, it will not help one thing and you may have these feelings quite often so please go to an AA meeting when you get like this, even if it is for only 1/2 of a meeting; beats drinking and could give you enough time for the urge to drink to pass.

why am I telling you this? you all ready know this. I will pray for you, turn this over to your higher power for help.
