<3 <3 ViCourageous HAS TWO YEARS T0DAY!! <3 <3
AND she and her hubs are also celebrating their 29th Wedding anniversary today as well!
CONGRATULATIONS my moose scoot boogie mama! You are one Amazing girl, you know that! For those of you who don't know her story, this courageous women has been through so much. After 40 years of addiction, she detoxed off methadone, adderal and benzos all at once. She went through a long, hellish detox that would have sent most of us running back to the dealer. She got the help she needed, learned all about the way drugs destroy our brains and set up support by attending AA, NA, finding her way back to God and church. She became a med help warrior and has helped so many folks understand their addictions and learn how to reach out for support. She is a jewel on here and personally, I think she helped save my life!
So things are going along pretty well for her first year and a half, when God decides maybe he will test her a bit. Boy is that an understatement! In 90 days she lost her father in law, her step dad, her mother AND her dog, her precious Whiteface, who was her little boy and best friend. Watching her go through that was both the most heartbreaking and most inspiring thing I have ever seen! Again, most of us would be running back to our dealers/pharmacies to numb out all the pain. But not the Courageous one! She upped her support with more meetings, greif therapy and she even had hospise come lock up her moms pain meds and count them when she was caring for her mom at home! So anyway, still reeling from such sad and painful losses, with her support systems in place, she begins going through the grieving process. It was hard. And unfortunately, her own health took a turn. Couple months back she starts feeling sweaty with some chest and throat pain. Can you believe she had a serious heart vessel blockage and had to have a stent placement! Well she is better now thank God, but still coping with the physical and mental
changes that come with heart disease. So now what!? Support, support and more support!
Girl I'm so inspired by you! You are the picture of what it means to never ever give up, no matter what! No defeat and no surrender! Thank you so much for what you do here, and for your precious friendship! We all love you so much! CONGRATULATIONS on your double anniversaries!! 29 years and still hot! You go girl!

This song reminds me of what he has been doing for me the last few years..PLUS it was our Wedding song.
Bridge Over Troubled Waters
When You're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes. Well I will dry them all
I'm on your side, ohhh, when times get rough, and friends just can't be found
Like a Bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
" " " " " " " "
" " " " "
When you're down and out
When your on the road
When evening falls so hard
Well, I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Ohhh Darkness comes
and pain is all around
Like a Bridge Over Troubled Waters
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to SHINE
All your DREAMS are on their way
See how they Shine
if you need a friend
I'M sailin' right behind`
O just like a Bridge Over Troubled Waters
I will ease your MIND
Like a Bridge Over Troubled Waters
I will ease your Mind
I LOVE YOU CRAIG..Thank You for being right by my side all the way and showing some real true colors..See you on our 30th.

Oh my Tears are just rolling down my cheek!!!!!
ALL of you that walked this journey with me have so much to do with why I kept on track.
I remember the first Journal about my Dads cancer while he was still alive. Each and everyone of you stuck right by me until he passed. Then my Dog and my Mom. My MH friends never left my side during all of this. Then I was missing a good friend and he was finally found dead in the woods. I know alot of you where going WTF because it was so much sorrow and pain. I did give it to God and as I listen he would speak. I was coming around OK until the Heart issues with 2 blocked arteries..How could this be??I always ate healthy and ran around at work and also exercised. Well that one did do me under for a bit. They claimed it started at my later teens..Go figure I live here in the US where they do not care what sells at the markets..Well I will not put down our country because I am glad to be free.
I went to a couple of NA meetings this week and told them that I worked so hard to get off man made prescriptions only to be put on more then I have ever been on..Ha!!! Down the road I will be able to cut some back but I will always have to be on a blood thinner. Yak!
When this happen I was really in a very deep depression and I did not understand what was going on. It was the worst feeling I had ever felt!!!! I found out from a few notes and at a meeting that one big side affect after something like this was depression..Well OK then I will keep fighting.
Now I have change some of my Support that fits my needs right now and it sure is HELPING Big Time. My Lord has been sending me some Get Well Cards that has been putting the Sunshine back in my Heart once again!
THANKS TO EACH & EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME ALL THE WAY!!!
Special Thanks to the ones who helped me between the telephone lines.
I love ya all & will never ever forget you!
Bless U All
