Happy Holidays - and a note to myself

Happy Holidays. I want to thank everyone for their kind words over the past few weeks.

Also - a note to myself. When I am around people who may blame me or who may bait me because of my spouse's drinking - or - her problem, I will smile, I will say in a "sing-song" cheerey voice;

"I understand your feelings. I wish you the best. Merry Christmas to you and your family."

I will not engage. I will smile and kill'em with kindness!
