A problem temptation, or a healthy one?

Definitely a problem temptation. Last night was the first time that I was ever aware of the invisible force that pulls me toward the bottle. I noticed that I was in a trance. I had to snap myself out of it, and just head up to bed, where I slept unusually soundly.

or fear of being blamed for failing

I don't know what it is with my daughter. She has been this way since a very early age. If she is at all unsure about any tiny little thing, she becomes certain she will fail spectacularly. For high school she would do 7 hours of homework every night to make sure she didn't fail, and then score top marks. Every time. Now, she falls apart over stuff like forgetting to use Ms. before a name. The problems seem to be around offending someone. I blame Obama.
