Anger management hiccups. I felt attacked recently. The situation revolved around my new pet/kitten. I had other people express concerns about the well-being of my cat. I explained that it shouldn’t concern them.

My life has improved so much over 8 years. I went from on the verge of suicide to what I consider a very fulfilling life. There has been plenty of hiccups along the way. The hardest ones to navigate have been different depression experiences, but I trust the process and keep pushing forward when I have difficult times.

Everything is different. I am different, the life Ive built is different. I have created my own family- I got married, we had kids! I married into a big family and found friends who quickly became aunties to my kids.

I’ve had some sobriety before, but never recovery. It’s giving me a better understanding of my self, my self worth. The hiccups are having to distance my self from family and friends who use.

I totally get that. Perhaps they feel that the pet is now part of their responsibility? Which is (in my opinion) completely misplaced energy.
