What's the problem again? You only had 3 days off in one year! Think about
that. 3/365 < 1%. Pretty good track record. Learn that how you look at
things makes a big difference in feel.

You wrote:

"I'm moving as soon as I can find a place and giving the house back to the

I wonder if that's a good idea. There might be some more stress down the
road as a result.

It's shocking that you live in a trailer park.

Be kinder to yourself, this is a terrible situation and a little ice cream
is not an evil thing. You did the right thing for the dog though you might
have called the police or animal control without informing management. They
might have kept your identity confidential to prevent retaliation. Don't
make a decision about bankruptcy in haste, is there no possibility that you
could sell your place?

Hang in there. Everyone falls off the wagon from time to time - and the
fact that you didn't do it with the other addictive substances shows a
strength that is more than you think is there.

Just get back in the saddle, and forge ahead - we all have to. Anyone
who says they don't either has bigger issues than they think, or they're
lying.

And look at it this way: you saved that dog. That was about cruelty to
animals, and if the folks who stood up for that neighbor don't realize
that, they're also abusers.

I hate dogs....evil little things....

I've fallen off the low carb waggon today after a night out last night
resulted in a burger and some orange soda to fend off the evilness of the
hang over. I'm quite lucky in that I dont get hang overs but I was worried
coz I'd not had anything to drink in weeks due to my work schedule, and the
fact that I drank almost an entire bottle of vanilla absolute in about 4
hours. So back on full steam ahead tommorrow. Halloween party in about 2
weeks so I recon I'll be doing this two weeks on, day off, two weeks on, day
off, for the next few weeks as two weeks after halloween I'm doing another
play which will no doubt results in at least one night out and several more
drinks.

Atkins being overweight at his death. Irv apparently converted to

Wow, Jean, that really SUCKS! Serious friction with the neighbors can be HELL --
I had to move in the middle of the night once due to the angry (not to mention
deranged and ARMED) man who lived in the apartment under mine (and I had lived
there for 7 years prior to that). You did the right thing about the dog.

Jean,
You should be really proud of yourself,,,,,,quitting drinking and
smoking,,,,,,the 2 'big one's',,,,,with the kind of stress you're under, I
wouldn't blame you if you had a drink. It goes to show how tough you are
not to take that drink or cigarette,,,and I'm sure you'll handle everything
else in the same way. When the going gets tough, the tough get going,,,,and
you proved it.
Don't worry about the ice cream.
And if you really like where you're living,,,don't let one A..Hole! spoil it
for you.
There are better days ahead,,,,,this I'm sure of. Don't be so hard on
yourself. Hang in there, Jean,,,and keep posting,,,,,maybe, (I'll cross my
fingers) your nasty neighbour will move!

You are so right, Ada Ma. And thank you to all of you who sent me hugs, good
advice and encouragement. Thanks, I NEEDED that. I'm back on LC, had a
pretty good day, and I'm looking forward to hitting the bricks on Tuesday to
find new digs. Even without the lousy neighbors, this house, the yard, the
animals, the job -- everything -- are too expensive and too much work for a
65 year old woman with emphasema. I'm fixing to start throwing off ballast.
