I lost my mother to cancer also. It is still a sensitive area to talk about. I know the pain you feel first hand. I know my addiction comes from her death and not being able to cope with it. There is not one day that I don't think about her and talk to her in my mind. We were very blessed to have a mother that loved us to the ends of earth.

Congrats on 5 days!!! It is a start, but please look into after care. You mother wants the very best for you and I believe she is beside you. Death can't break that bond and you will meet again. I feel my mother's presense all the

During your clean time, I would suggest going over old pictures of you mom and the great times that you had. Keep busy and you will make it. My heart goes out to you bud.Cry and let out the pain of losing her. Try to think of the good times and not the end. The day my mother died, I found out that you can cry in your sleep. I never knew that.

Thanks Tim Im with ya there about the crying...and on a lighter note I did'nt know I could destroy a hospital bathroom until I heard my mom had only about an hour to live I went a little nuts. My Addictions went skyhigh after my moms death...you name it I would've taken it anything to numb me...but Im ready to face my demons ...Ive tried b4 but Im sick of living this way...and no my mother would'nt want this life for me

I also lost my dad to Pancreas and Liver cancer but the day he died was the day I felt a gorilla get off my back........my sister wrote me a letter two weeks earlier to his death and said to me "Soon will all be free"........
I am happy that my mother has had some years to live her life without that ***** around.......
I loved my dad because he was my dad but I hated the mother ****** too..........

My whole family has died from cancer two grandparents, uncles, great uncles, aunts, they say it skips a gerneration not in my family....I have had dreams before where a doctor has walked up to my
bed and said I'm sorry you have cancer.......

Not a lot in my family...  my mother died of breast cancer when  i was 8..my grandmother several years later.  My wife was diagnosed with DCIS nearly 3 years ago and after a couple of surgeries was pronounced "cancer free".
