I'm not ***, or so I'm told. I just prefer doing other things. Things that bring me pleasure. Immediate gratification.
Small comfort. I'm living in squalor but worse than that, I have 2 minor children. I have much shame and guilt for making this environment. But not enough shame and guilt to change my ways.
It's comforting to know I'm not alone. Just hope I fake being a normal human adequately enough today.
Daily Goal: to appear average to the outside world.
Step one: get out of bed...

Welcome! Shame and guilt eats up energy, so no, I don't think it's a case of not feeling *enough* shame and guilt to change. Take small steps and celebrate every victory, no matter how small.

Welcome! Do all of you have a clean bed to sleep in, and do you have adequate food in your home and a clean place to prepare it? Those are important. Next thing, can you safely exit the home if three is an emergency? No doors blocked by trash or piled up things? Start there, then pick up the trash and get it out of the house. Please let us knows how you are doing.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! joyinvirginia, Imma give myself a pat on the back for not blocking exits! As far as the rest is concerned, um, it depends upon what your definition of "clean" is...
