Actually, Gilli, I do. I have several people on both sides of my family who were substance abusers of some kind and I have had to deal with it for most of my life. I suppose that's why I practically run myself ragged trying to be an over-achiever - just to prove that I'm not like the rest of them.
You're a good woman, Gilli.

Hi Spooky ! I know I am new and probably should not get worried with your business, but please don't go kill yourself with being an over achiever.
What on earth do you have to prove ?
As far as I am concerned, when I suddenly decided that I don't have to prove anything to anybody after all, just cannot bear to be ashamed of myself and must be into some action to avoid that, well it was a divine relief. Life is still killing me, but at least I am justabout happy now (whatever may hit me, which does, a lot).
So lay back girl, if you can (easier said than done, I know, I know). And best of luck to you.

No, not exactly true, dear Oily. My Elvis epiphany was just really, really special.
So many people in my family fell short of their potential because of stupid decisions in their life. I will always make extra special effort in my life to be more than they were. In an odd way, that gives me comfort. I'm doing what I know is good for myself and my own family. So I'm actually overachieving in a healthy way guys, so not to worry about me.
After all, I am treating myself and the hubby to a weekend away from the kids. In a just a few short hours I will be drinking wine and soaking in a hot tub.
But you guys carry on here without me.
