Lisa,
Just want you to know how much I care about you. You have been such an important part of my recovery and I could not have made it without friends like you, Kat, Sammy and Amy. I get upset when someone writes such harsh posts about you. But it just goes to show that they do not know you at all. I hope and know that you take those posts in stride. When someone is serious about Recovery such as we are, then they can expect criticism. Drug abuse kills and is not to be taken lightly. I define drug's as any mind altering substance including alcohol. Some people want to put their own definition on that and I just wonder if those same people will be here next year at this time professing to be clean and sober. But I am not going to take anyone else's inventory tonight. I applaud all methods of recovery. That is not the purpose of this thread. I applaud all methods of recovery I just wanted to say...I love you and admire you. If I asked I know that you would do anything in the world for me, that's what kind of friend you are.
I won't be on this weekend because I am going to TN again to be with my sister. She is home from the hospital but not doing well at all. She's on 5 liters of Oxygen just to keep her sats @ 90%. I just want to spend as much time as I can with her and I wish I could just go there and stay. Thanks for giving me such support during this time.
Hope you have a good weekend lined up.
Love,
Sharon

Dear Sharonn That was such a nice post to her.I am sorry for all the pain your feeling.Its never easy watching someone we love suffer.Please know my prayers are with you & your sister.I had a sister I was close to to.Take Care....mj
Sharon... How is that new Grandbaby doing? Don't you think it is so great being a grandmom... I know for me, I can have the worse day of my life and come home and as soon as I see my sweet Granddaughter and that smile and here her say na na... It makes it all good.. She is 10 months old today... I just wish that I got to spend more time with my other Grandchildren.. Oh did I tell you my oldest daughter is pregnant again.. she is due on May 26th my birthday .. Ok I am sorry to hijack your thread... Just wanted to see how you were and how your sister is doing... She is in my prayers.. Love ya...
Sharon...I know how you feel and I appreciate you taking the time when your life is so crazy and world upside down right now. Please take care of you during all of this. I don't have to tell you that during stressful times is when we are at our most vulnerable with this disease.
I talked to someone on the phone today and told them that if it weren't for you 2 years ago, I might not be clean today. You loved me, kicked my butt and supported me all at once. Guess what? It worked and it's still working today.
Kiss the baby, give Maddy a hug and tell your sister that she's in my thoughts and prayers. As are you every day.
Love you
Lisa
Hey there Miss Paula....how are things for you?

Sharon,
My thoughts are with you as you head back to TN. I know this is a difficult time and I just want you to know you are loved and supported. Keep reaching out and seeing there are people here for you. We aren't going anywhere.
Alot of us love Lisa, Sharon, Kat, Boo, Soccermom, Poopie, Sammy and everyone else on this board. Truly all this back and forth is a bit insane when I look at it. I watch you plug in and get hooked and then it's too late. There is such a much bigger picture in recovery. I have to sit back and be silent and let you all work it out or not hoping you each grown in your own ways through it. The patterns repeat over and over. I have to simply accept this is the way it is and let it go wishing each of you the best realizing it's not a field I wanna play on or take sides on. So I don't. It's your movie, your growth process. I loved Poopie's thread about laughing so hard. I loved the visual it gave me. Made me smile. Helped me alot actually because sometimes I just get this pit in my stomach when I watch you guys.
My silence does not mean I do not care. Sometimes silence, going in, unplugging from the chaos, getting quiet, stepping away for a bit, supporting a peaceful place for myself is the best I have to offer to each of you. Maybe if I remain calm it will flow outwards to each of you.
Wishing you all the best.
peace,

Sorry I missed you, Sharon. I had to get off and drop Kes off at the skating rink. If you don't make it back tonight.....carry my love with you. I'll keep you in my heart and prayers.
Miss Lisa, of course we all love you. You're just one of us pain in the a** family members, lmao! But I am proud to be a part of that family.
I was such a wreck when I arrived at this board (shudder) and for a time afterwards. I was in dire need of the strong examples set before me.
I consider myself pretty lucky though. I was desperate enough, or had enough sense left, or.....something, to listen. I soaked up what I was told here like a sponge.
It taught me a unique lesson.
As a child I was taught to respect my elders. I came here as a child. I paid attention to what was graciously offered me. And while those messages were firm, I took them for what they were....an offering of compassion, love and experience.
Since I was apreciative and respectful, I recieved some awesome blessings.
No one hesitated after seeing I was sincere, to share their knowlege in a most kind way.
Each and every one of us wants to be heard. We want to share and feel like we make a difference. It hurts our very spirit to reach out and try and be turned down.
I think maybe I've reached oldtimer status on this board, lol, but in my heart, I am still looking to those ahead of me to help guide my way.
I've told you before, but I'm still listening.
I shudder to think where I would be now had I not been willing to listen.
Love, Kat

Kat,
You're an "oldtimer" alright!!!!
Actually you hold a wisdom that is unique and beautiful and a gift to those who are open to receive it.
I hope that I never lose the ability to listen to those who have something to share with me that makes a difference, to those who are my teachers, to those who light the way. Sometimes it's the man at the gas station who has something so simple yet so profound to share with me. It's just a matter of me keeping myself humble enough to be open to all who come my way. Life is very simple really.
We get more of what we put our energy into.
I like your style Kat. I like your reason. I like your growth.
Keep writing.

I love you too, Amy.
SOS prayers needed.
Sharon's sister is much worse. She has had to leave right away.
Sharon, I pray God gives you the strength you need for what is ahead. I love you so much, Kat
