still clean

[beebumble]

Wow, its been awhile since Ive been on.  Alot has happened.  Some great.  Some not so great.  I will start with I am still cleanYEAH...It is hard at times but I like it much better.  I think clearer each day and life is good...I think about the pills at times, but then I think about how bad my life was with them..  I dont want that back.. I had told you all before how the pills let me lose my husband, the greatest man in the world.  Well guess what, now that I am off the pills.  We are talking, he moved back in and we are gonna work on things.  I am so fortunate.  But it goes to show you that being on the pills makes your life fall apart and when your off you begin to heal, mend, and rebuild.  I told him of my addiction and what I have done.  It will take time, but we are trying and that is all I can ask for.  My daughter is doing great and is ecstatic to have her old mom back and now her dad...Life is worth living.   But in all this great news I had some bad news and I would also like to tell everyone of this danger.  On Thursday my dogs began getting sick, peeing, throw up...they did this thru the day.  By the evening they were losing their abiltiy to walk, by evening they couldnt stand.   I took them to the vet hospital.  They were tested for antifreeze consumption.  It was positive for antifreeze.  They were both in kidney failure.  Both very sick.  We had to put them down.  They were our babies.  So please I will take this forum to plead with all to spread the word.  Antifreeze is deadly to dogs.  Please dispose of it properly.  If it leaks wash it away.  Spread the word.  This is a senseless accident...There was nothing around my house.  It had to be in the neighbors. Our dogs stay in the yard but occassionly wonder.  Unfortunately all it took was once.  So please know this antifreeze warning.   Okay I am off my soap box.  Thanks for all your support.  All those struggling.  Hang in there.  IT is always hard work but it is well worth it.. Stay strong

Congrats on your clean time, even through adversity! I'm so sorry about the dogs. People are so careless! Time will help the pain, but Ive lost animals and I know how it hurts. *hug*
Take care of yourself and please keep up the great success of staying clean!
Peace~

hey hon im so sorry to hear about losing your dogs. how tragic! I know how it feels, Ive lost many pets over the years, mostly to old age, but a few got run over in the road and it was devastating each and every time. Pets are family memebers too. My sympathies to you and your family.
Congrats on being clean still that is great and so happy to hear that you and husband are working things out
