Congratulations Vic on 481 days! You are an amazing and strong woman! I know you have been going thru alot and you still come on here and support everyone! You are definitely a fighter! Thank you and again congratulations!
Vickie, even when you showed up feeling confused and maybe even fearing you wouldn't get better, you jumped with both feet. You researched your condition, did was advised and what you saw working. You got ready for that mountain of trouble and then you,re surviving an avalanche. Especially at 16 months you can see how important it was to tell your doctor, tell your secret, and build aftercare. I am so very happy for you and me as well. If you hadn't braced yourself from the beginning I may have lost you in that avalanche. You are an example of what people want, thanks for that.
Thanks Tony..It is not easy but it sure is going to be worth it in the end!!! lol

I feel for you I empathize with your losses and so Proud for you for your Clean and all you do for everyone here.. You are 1 Awesome Lady.. with love, lesa
Congrats Vickie
You truly are an inspiration. It would be so easy to use going thru everything you have had to deal with. The one thing you will be able to have is the memory of everything instead of a drug hazed blur. You are doing things for your Mom now that you would never be doing if you were high. You would have a tough time forgiving yourself later and you won't have to deal with that because you have been strong and fought through. As hard as it is to deal with now, it will be easier on you because you did it clean. We all know about the guilt we suffer from using.
Hugs to you and to your hubby.

Vi, I'm so proud of you!! I know your going through a lot now. God Bless you. When my mother was sick she lived on our land in a mobile home. I was drinking heavy back then and was a very poor daughter. Didn't do all that much for her. She had a bad heart. She didn't really need much just someone to understand and to talk to. I wasn't there for her. To this day I shutter just thinking about it. At least you won't have that on your plate. Your in my prayers. Wishing you nothing but blessings

I got up later this morning and was thinking about what my Hub & I were talking about last night.
Lots of us have used this or that for Years. Some just got hooked on the prescriptions. Some of us used for energy, depression, the good feeling, etc. What ever it was for it does not matter. I can not look at "Why" i used this or that starting at the age 14, but I can say that in the past alot of my Drinking & Druggen came from the Deaths of a Loved ones.
The past two months have been the Hardest and most Hopeless feelings I have felt in all my LIFE. I knew that running to cover my feelings would just make things worse or prolong the feelings that needed to come out. IT was not easy at all. I wanted this or that just for the day. Then this really sick feeling would come over me. I knew it would only be a Temporary fix with a Long Term Repair. (as my bud FourJays keeps reminding me). My DR saved my Butt two..I did go and ask him for something because of this Anxiety..He said that we made a pack that no matter how much I beg him never give me anything Addicting. Well I am SO glad he did this..I would be so out of it right now..My Hub would of not talked to me at all. It would of just been BAD and real BAD. I just found other ways to deal with all of this..Sure I cry almost every morning & every night. The pain of my Dog was the hardest ever. I guess because he was my kid and they are innocent and can not tell you how they feel. My Mom is going down fast and that one is going to be one of the worst. I had to UP all my Support because I know whats ahead.
I have learned a very VALUABLE lesson through all of this..YOU better be Darn sure you are ready to stay clean when life throws you a curve ball that looks like a big Mountain coming your way..It is very easy to run and hide under some kind of Substance, but it is darn hard not to. SO if Life sends some Bad, Bad things your way.. Just remember it is not worth using or drinking because of this..You must Buck up and give it TIME..(Oh that nasty word). Reach out for ALL the EXTRA SUPPORT you can get. Sometimes it will do the opposite and Using or Drinking is the Last thing you want to do. SO Please, Please be careful and keep that extra Armour on in Times of Troubles..You can do it and soon you will be so proud you went through ALL this EMOTIONAL Heart Breaking pain with out using.
Thanks each and everyone of you that have been their with your Support since Day One..I will carry you in my Heart for the Rest of my Life and I will always be here for you. If you ever have some tough times and want to use, their are alot of us here that are or have gone through this while just getting clean. lol
Bless U ALL!
