Loat Post

Sorry guys..........I was in need of help last night and my post went somewhere other than here. Was just looking for support.  I was very emotional. I was getting close to using again. Buried my father Monday.......my hero. Found out yesterday that my sister and best friend has to have brain surgery. Jeez can it be layed on any thicker in one week? Anyway I am just still taking the Subs and am getting thru it with family  support...............but boy is it tough.  Was really feeling like somehow getting a high and getting "F'd" up somehow to try to deal with it all.  But I thought about it alot and realized that that would get me nowwhere.............just set me back and not make it better to deal with in the long run. Got to accept life as it is, good and bad, and deal with it and move on.

My dad is my hero and I came very close to losing him a few years back...I feel for you...he always would say "laura, u dont need to worry, i will make sure nothing ever happens to you"  I was remembering that when i looked at him so close to death...my rock...well he made it, but I do know i will probably have to deal with it again, unless i die first...i want to be strong when that happens and i am wishing you all the strength in the world to make it thru this...grieving is a process but we are already doing a major process right now...but God made us strong enough to withstand the things we need to bear...we have to reach in and find it but it is there

hugs

hey there... just wanted to say i'm so sorry about all the stuff you are going through...

hold on there, my friend.  you did great by staying strong, and while i imagine it seems like things couldn't be worse, they do eventually let up..

i went through some very similar stuff as you a few months back, and i thought my world was shattered.  well, it was actually.  but now - a little while later - they do slowly get better. so much better.

i just wanted to say sorry for your loss, and also wanted to send good wishes your way...

with luv,
mj

I am so sorry about your father.  Terrible things seem to come in clusters for me also.  You really did good not using at such a difficult time.  It wouldn't have helped anything.  Sorry things are going badly.  It will get better. Please hang in there.  Big Hug,   Mary
