Morning,
   Things went well with the shrink, we talked alittle about some of my triggers and my family and relationships, Didnt get into alot on each but alittle got acouple answers, but she says it will take along time to work through everything, She wants me to consider a live in program for 30 days, to give me the tools to keep from using. She said it is great that i stay busy all day but i shouldnt have to to keep my triggers down, I thought she gave me the tools to stay clean, she said she dows give me a few, she is more there for me to talk about the triggers that a program would benifit me,So something to think about, I see her again in Thurs,
  Mom is doing alot better, she was alomost her old self last night, she is happy she feels better, buti am still going ot avoid her today to a degree
  Didntr come on last night, I went out with a friend to play some pool, and just get out for a bit, I was starting to get cabin fever, and i am going out tonight with Stephen and Chrstine, to alittle carnival going on somewhere, He doesnt get to do alot lately so i thought this would be nice for him
  Welll going for a shower, clean up, wake uo, looks like  it maybe an inside day today for the most part, it will suck but there is always something to do, I am finding this morning hard but i can get through it,
  Will try to et on before i head out, if not see everyone at lunch
