Celeb Rehab

Ok, so I am assuming I missed some posts on last nights celeb rehab. Last night, when I was watching it, I got to thinking that what if it were all of us there. I watched as most of them were up, walking around, laughing, eating. I know that the 1st time I quit, c/t from 1600mgs of Oxy a day, I couldn't walk, talk, laugh or eat right for three weeks. How on earth are they so damn happy. Well, maybe they aren't. But they look very comfortable, with the exception of Jeff. He is the epiotemy of what I DONT want to become. He reminds me of my parents. It's weird. And also, when Dr. Drew was talking about the affect the drugs had on our children. The UCF fighter who lost his son, my heart broke. But for me, not for him. Yes, I feel for his son. Because the same thing happen to me., But I got to thinking about all the ****** things I have done as a mother/addict. Literally, spending thousands of dollars that could be in a college account for my daughter. All those times I couldn't get pills and was in w.d, miserable and not being able to play with my daughter. And hearing her ask me why I was so sick all the time. Its just crazy. And the eye opener of it all is...what if that were me? What if I lost my daughter? I would rather be dead. Thats all I can say about that. Just venting, sorry. Hope all are well....

xoxo, Lisa

Hi I watched that too.  I was surprised when the UCF guy said his addiction did not affect his children.  that he had things under control in front of his kid and that he didnt use in front of him.  Even though his using cost him and his wife custody of his child. That was a real eye opener to denial.  Im sure I have my places of denial.  Sometimes its so obvious in others, and Im blinded to my own!!  I pray for God to open my eyes to myself and help me to handle and accept the truth.  Well, just thought I'd comment cuz I watched that too.

i watched all of the episodes back to back last night..  i have to say it was the first time i viewed them "clean".. i though the same thing.. and i also got to thinking how much i do forgive my father for what happened, but its too late now to tell him cause he died a few years back..  anyway, its too late to fix what you have done in the past.. just make your daughters future better..  thats all you can do.. none of us here can erase what we've done, or the damage we've caused to the people around us..  we could only fix what we do today, tomorrow and the rest of our lives..  dont beat yourself up over it...
on a lighter note...  how about a reality TV show with all of us on it?? they could call it
"Med-help rehab" or "internet rehab" LOL
