I lost my Grandmother today. I found her body at around 2 p.m. My first thought was to take a drink, but I knew that would only make things worse. I loved her very very much, and I'm just glad that she got to see me turn my life around. She was my best friend, and she helped make me into who I am today. Without her, I…
It's all I can think about right now. From the moment I woke up this morning. I need to shake this, but it's obsessing and taking over.

I was asleep this evening and woke up to my 11 year old brother screaming bloody murder, "I hate you! I hate you! Who do you think you are?" He was yelling at our mother because she told him that starting next week, he needs to start going to bed at 9:30. Alright, so a little back story first.... & I have talked to my…
We all have a story... What compelled you to make this wonderful change in your life? I listened to and followed who or whatever I could convince myself was right.
