I'm a StepMom...hear me R*O*A*R!!

In the book The Stepmom's Guide to Simplifying You Life there is a part where I am to write a short paragraph about who I am and what defines me to others. I am to "jot down" the answers as if I am talking to a friend over coffee...

I'm a woman who loves ______________ and _____________ and _______________. I believe in _____________ and ___________. I find great enjoyment in ____________ and ____________. I cannot tolerate ______________ and _____________. I am _________________ and _____________ and ___________________________. I want to improve __________________. More than anything, I want _______________ and _________________.

Then it goes on to say "So were you able to fill in the blanks completely, without breaking a sweat? If not, you soon will, b/c living in a stepfamily, you'll come to rely more and more on who you really are. You'll continually deepen what you know about yourself as you grow in your role. You may have to study and wrestle and work hard for quite a while to discover the deepest truths about yourself, but this paragraph is a good start."

Notice: I still have blanks to fill.

Drugs

I'm pretty proud of myself. At one point, in 2009, when I was first diagnosed with cancer, I was on 20 (like 2-0 as in TWENTY) medications. As of this morning, I officially take 3 - two of which are because I no longer have a thyroid so those will never go away. I'm workin on that last one... in July I had a pretty bad mental breakdown -ish where I just couldn't do life the way it was anymore. I had gone sober on New Year's Day, making that decision while nursing a massive hangover. Sobriety brought a small jewelry business as well as mental clarity which led to July. There had to be more to life than that.  I am currently seeing 2 counselors - one with the hubs & one solo. My eyes have been opened! I have co-dependency issues among other things but when you know better you do better! My life & my view of it has changed exponentially... for the better. It's so hard but it's for the better. Looking at yourself closely is never easy but I can say with cert...
