Just yesterday I realized he was drunk every time he told me he loved me! What do I do now? I love him!
I went to a counselor to ask for help and she said, “Go to a support group for families of alcoholics!” I started last night. Today I am not so sure I shouldn’t leave him!
They told me it is recommended to not make any big decisions for a year. This after they said they don’t tell anyone what to do.
Someone said they told their husband when not using, “I’m not calling work for you anymore!”

This morning, I rented a space in the part of town where small shops are doing business every day. I noticed that everyone here was kind of sad. For me, this will mean better days!
Well, at least I am counting on these being better days for me. The saying, “Fake it till you make it” is a favorite of mine.
An antique shop with a positive sign. I am one of the few that will have a sign. I’m only selling positivity. Everything I have in my shop is positive.
I will start with a smile on my face!

“It’s not fun to be harassed,” said Olive. “Just because I’m tall and wear glasses is it okay to call me 4 eyes and Paul Bunyan?”
“When I am harassed, I change the subject or walk away or think to myself how ignorant they are, and I would never lower myself to be so petty!” said Angel.
“Why ever are you harassed?” asked Olive. “For the color of my skin,” replied Angel.
Olive looked to the sky and commented as if to herself, “That is so stupid! All of these things we have no control over! Why be so cruel?”

Forgiveness Is A Heart Cleanser
Ivarie and Devon were shocked when their fourteen-year-old daughter and twelve-year-old son demanded a family meeting as they stepped inside from school. Both sat on the sofa, curiosity lining their faces as they waited for them to take their bags to their room. Ivarie checked her phone to see if anyone from their school had sent her a warning or a message.
