I wanted to thank all that posted to me regarding my breast lump. I will be calling first thing monday to get it checked and I am going to demand a biopsy this tine since I don't have to worry about pain meds that way I will know once and far all!

I wanted to ask those that are reading a question. I am in IOP (intensive outpatient) and every time I go to group (which is a lot, 3x a wk for 3 hrs each) I learn so much and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in me passing this knowledge on. Like after each group I can post a thread about what I learned.

In doing this I am hoping that maybe it can help someone else and maybe give them strength and skills to cope. Plus it will help me too!  Anyway don't want to waste up space if no one is interested. But if 1 person is I will do it.

I just am really hoping that my addiction has a purpose. Being to help someone either recover, avoid what I have gone through, or keep someone from spiriling down this nasty road.

I can go on and on as I love to write but I can understand if people don't need me rambling and such. But really I just want to help because I care for all of you very much!

And I think it was lookyhere who used the term "normies" in a post. I had never heard that term until IOP the other day. My counselor is a recovering alcohlic and is a member of AA and used that term "normies" and it made me laugh. Cause in the addict world we do develop our own language and relationships for other people like us.

That is why being in a setting like this is so helpful. We all get it and that makes it easier to talk to each other.

Have a great day everyone. I am going to tend to my roses today as I have neglected them for too long!
