He must get out of them or else he turns into the incredible hulk. I am becoming aware of my own resentment at playing diplomat, while he plays hot-head. (I am just 1.25 years in program). I am learning each day. Some old-timers told me that I should always have a Plan B in my pocket, for when the alcoholic takes an evening off the rails. Each time these unexpected things occur, I feel it is HP telling me to prioritize myself first. Know myself. Get in touch with myself so I know what I WANT in any given moment.

I could not turn off the thoughts that churned in my head. I likened it to the gerbil on a wheel, just running over the same old path over and over. Glad to not have that in some while.

Where do I get off judging someone else's program? Human that I am, sometimes I do, and I really annoy and bore myself when I do that. The finger I point is attached to three fingers pointing back at me, so I better pick up a program tool and start working on it.
