james and kim...

above is the link to a psychotherapist in edinburgh who uses EMDR.  please copy and paste the link and click on the EMDR tab and read.

my daughter in law was a victim of childhood molestation and has carried this with her emotionally for years.  it was not until i was told of this new treatment and sought out someone who uses this, that she was able to start reclaiming her life again.  like you james...she choose to abuse drugs to try and deal with the pain that she had carried.  like my daughter in law...i would not be surprised if you were diagnosed with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).

the EMDR therapy is cutting edge...VERY fast in getting results...and can usually get through in a matter of months, what could take years with traditional therapy and counselling.  

please look into this james...it could save your life ! ! !  if you have any questions regarding this...i'll be happy to try and help.

James seeing a counsellor is the only way to deal with how you are feeling,At first it will seem like your world is crumbling around you but as you work through your feelings and emotions you'll gradually come to realise that you can get through all the pain and be a much better person.Hang in there James and you must get back to working on yourself and your own self esteem.Wishing you the best in everything-

I understand both your pain Kim and James pain...It must be UNREAL..He does not have the drugs to block it out.
Neither of you should suffer such pain..
I just hope James gets the professional help he needs and if he comes back here maybe we can help as well.
Gosh o golly I feel for both of you .....my heart is heavy thinking about your problems.
Maybe james will come around soon and realize his value to all of us.
Sending love and best wishes to both of you.

James, do you realize how powerful it is and what it says about you to be addicted to heroin for YEARS and then to beat it the way you have?  That says a lot about your character.  Those nasty people did not take that from you. They didn't get your soul.  You still have so much to live for.  Now please, go back to the counselor and get the help you need.

Kim, please take care of yourself!  You and James are both precious to everyone here, and we want you guys around!  I hope that all this gets worked out and that you are feeling better very soon!
