beyondpanic's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daughters of Alcoholics
I just finished reading Rosie O�Donnell�s book �Celebrity Detox�. I liked it � I especially liked Chapter 13 because it�s good to hear that someone else has experienced almost the exact same feelings that I have had.
Of course, I have gotten better at taking vacations and I actually wrote the check for our
vacation down the shore for this summer! She also describes waiting for inevitable bad news �
overreacting negatively to some kind of visual or audio prompt.
All this was because of a phone call that Kelly had to accept because their plane arrival was
pushed back by one hour. Rosie was convinced that someone was calling to inform them that
something horrible had happened to one of the kids. I love that line. �Our life as we have lived it was ending�. This completely describes what
goes through my head every time I have tried to get the dog. I think everything will be
completely, horribly different. When I explained this to the therapist, he told me to focus on
the positive things that the dog would bring into my life. I can focus on the good, happy, fluffy thoughts in my mind, until there is an actual live dog
that I may be getting and then I just freak and know that �our life as we have lived it was
ending�. 18:56 - 2008-02-28
