Step One - We admitted that we were powerless over food - that our lives had become unmanageable

2. b. What has it been like living with me at home?

I wish I knew. I have lived virtually in solitary for several years. I think my housemate 'tolerates' me. It is probably easier to put up with me than it is to change. I am not particularly communicative- I don't know that I have a lot to say so I say nothing.

I try to carry my load in maintaining the house - I do all the dishes, usually take out the trash, I try to do my part to maintain the housework.

Before moving to this house I lived with a friend who had separated from his wife - we both had children in High School and Jr. High so having the time and place for them to spend time with Dad was important. He was seeing a woman outside of town (eventually married her) so he would spend a few nights a week at the apartment and then all his free time at her house. Don't know how this is pertinent to anything - but at times it felt more like a hostel than a home.

Perhaps the best way to call it - I have been sullen, quiet and introverted.
