You don't need to be a recovering addict to appreciate the beauty and wisdom of your words. There is so much drama and trying to make sure that everyone knows we went the extra mile and exagerrating the experience to build ourselves up. You just show up and do it and know that you did the best, whether anyone saw or cared.atomic mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09241909236945651676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-57698163128275322942012-01-10T05:22:51.695-07:002012-01-10T05:22:51.695-07:00Ordinariness and blending in works for me, just an...Ordinariness and blending in works for me, just another bozo on the bus.Mary LAhttp://louisey.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-65074627315408618702012-01-09T13:38:26.640-07:002012-01-09T13:38:26.640-07:00I'm glad I read this post today.

Family plays into the feeling of entitlement sometimes, because of our fear of going back to how it used to be.<br /><br />Great post, lady.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496172669599418214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-21029678945332457812012-01-09T09:10:22.228-07:002012-01-09T09:10:22.228-07:00Well said Mary.

Now I ...I didn't want to blend in for so long. Now I am okay with who I am, not ashamed of being a bit different and thinking outside of most boxes. But I am not alcoholic. And I don't need to prove to anyone how different I am. I can just be. It feels good. <br /><br />PS: I understand about the movie and books. I would not recommend that anyone who has suffered severe trauma see the movie. It was hard for me to see and nothing like that has happened or been done to or by me.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-84331537873982963462012-01-09T08:14:01.981-07:002012-01-09T08:14:01.981-07:00I like this 'blending' idea as well.
