There are a million things going through my head as I search for exactly the right thing to say. Everything seems trite. Truth be told, I’m downright angry. At life. For not being perfect.
Kathryn, you’ve worked hard, you’ve been kind and loving to everyone who needed support — you don’t deserve to feel bad — so don’t. Today, I’m railing at what I deem to be the unfairness in my life, and the fact that the addiction rose up and grabbed you in after all this time (albeit for just a blink in time) makes me mad.
Still, I know you’ll be alright. Just stick to the plan of getting the self-exclusion done. That is your magic bullet, so use it. Stay steady, Aussie Girl, and get your eyes back on your great life. It’s going to be fine.
Love, RG
