there is more to the story when I was just getting out of college before my first wife , I had a girl friend die in my arms from a drug overdose.
in the past 10 years of sobrity.
I got remarried after about 3 years to wonderful lady I met in AA. She developed pancreatic cancer from all of her past alcohol use. in 2009 she passed away. Then last year both my parents died also. If it was not for the support from the people I had met in AA and the power of GOD. I would have been messed up.(PLEASE PLEASE don't let the word GOD turn you off, at first it did me) The God i know today is not anything like the GOD I grew up with in religion. The GOd I know today dwells within me and protects me as long as I stay out of the way and let HIM run the show. It is not the image of a big white man in the sky looking down on me that I acquired as a child that I was scared of. All you have to do to make a beginning is to believe that there is something more powerful out there than you. Sorry If seemed to start preaching, I did not mean to I was just relaying whaT happened to me. There is a place for religion it just was not for me.

I know I'm interrupting here, but MMA I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear about your loss. I'm so sorry you went through that. And I'm sorry for her. G-d bless you for staying sober for so long. You are an inspiration to all of us.
Zoea,
Everything happens for a reason and although it hurts, maybe the is God's way of cleaning the bad stuff out of your closet....Getting rid of the bad, in order to make room for all the good things that are going to come your way in your sober life. Just take a deep breath and know you can deal with this.
Saying prayers for you

I would say that you do have a better chance at staying clean now to addicts can get more drugs than one so good luck and easy does it.
Hang in there girl. You can do it. Its one of the hardest things to accomplish in this crazy world. We are all holding your hand. Don't stop trying! Keep us posted, okay?
My wife and I were addicted to alcohol and drugs. Over 10 years ago while I was in a treatment center she committed suicide. I probably would not have stayed sober after I got out if she had been there because she did not think she had a problem. I am not saying it was easy and there were alot of bumps in the road but when i got out I found a support group, Mine was AA but it does not matter which support you find but please get into some kinda of aftercare it really really helps I have been sober for 10 years now
GO FOR IT GIRL YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!!
GO FOR IT GIRL YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!!
Hi zoe,
I admire your strength. It is his loss. You are evolving snd moving on with your life. Living well is the best revenge. I know it hurts, but also know that there are a lot of people here who care about you. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Anyone who isn't willing to support you gettting better, getting healthier and getting well is not worth having around. His leaving was the best thing that could have happened to you. And I think one day you're going to fully realize that, or you may have already? But you don't need that - you're better than that and you deserve better. Period. This is his loss NOT yours.
Sometimes in life losing the things that hurt the most ironically end up saving us. Keep your chin up. You are doing great Zoe! ((Hugs))
Hi, there, Zoe. Your name means "life", and you are a priceless gift to this world and all the worlds to be. There is no one like you. Your life means so much more than the troubles and difficulties that this world presents. I know you must be really having a rough time right now; please know that I am here for you, and I know the others here feel the same way. You are a beautiful, strong young woman who has a heart for others. My prayer for you is that everyone to come in your future life will be worthy of you and your affection and love. I am honored to know you, and honored and excited to know the future you!---Margaret xoxox
hey hon....soo very sorry!! But it is his loss for sure. I'm sending you a pm o.k.? Many hugs to you!!!
zoe...
Hi darlin'...I'm sorry you are going through so much turmoil and I wanted to say I'm thinking of you today....
The thing about reclaiming our lives and changing old behaviour, is that it changes our most intimate relationships as well. Sometimes they weather the storm and are stronger because of it...And sometimes we have to let them go. Do you have support around you right now? Remember that YOU and your sobriety are the most important...the key to everything. Stay in the moment and dig deep into that deep well of inner strength that I know you have. You deserve to be happy Zoe...You deserve to be treated with all the love and respect in the world...Be your own best friend and take good loving care of yourself and the rest will sort itself out with time.
Sending support and much love...

Thank u. Im so silly. After years of cheating from him lol. Tomorrow is a new day. Wish i could fly out to all. X
I just wanted to say that it is HIS loss! You are totally worth all the effort it takes to get clean...with or without him you can do it!
Take it one day at a time and just focus on yourself and what you need to do to get and stay clean. You are stronger than you think.
