		<description><![CDATA[First, I want to say how important blogging has been to my recovery.  If I hadn&#8217;t had a place where I could just bleed and be supported, I don&#8217;t know if I would have been able to stay sober.  It might have been different if I&#8217;d lived in a larger city; somewhere that there was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My ideals it turns out are so high that I am unable to live up to them myself.  I place the other in a position of superiority - and then when I am condescended to I resent them.  I'm not very  humble about what I have to offer in a relationship and I am rather demanding in what I am willing to accept.  And the thing that stings most about that is that, for me, this is progress. ]]></description>

In the daytime and around people I pretend everything is okay &#8211; that I&#8217;m getting better; and I suppose I am, but I did not expect to be this sick for this long.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having this internal argument about smoking cessation with nicotine replacement therapy.Â  Namely, in quitting smoking I&#8217;m really quitting 2 different addictions; smoking addiction and nicotine addiction. I have picked up a cigarette only twice in the last 16 days, and that has been made rather easy by the fact that my nicotine addiction [...]]]></description>
