Crystal,
It appears we both have it on our hearts to seek some support, at a meeting. I would love to see us both try one. Are you up to it? I would do all I can to support you and encourage you, I think I need to go to one too. I am not saying tomorrow, just as soon as we feel it's something we can do. Anyway, let me know what your thinking, I know I am going. I want to learn more about it.
Take care and Best Wishes

Crystal, and Anyone,
I know I saw this posted somewhere, but I cannot remember. Do you call and look up Alcoholic Annonymous? Then will they give you meeting times? I will look into it later today, but tried the website, and nothing about local meetings. Sorry, maybe it's a blond thing lololol. Thanks for the support Crystal, and of course Bob, thanks for the kiss...... Have a great day and Best Wishes
Crystal,
Like you the other night, I slept almost 3 hrs, but I am glad we don't care, as long as we feel better. But, I hope you got more sleep than me ;o). I am sure our body will get tired and let us sleep when necessary.

it's on website na.org i found one close to home help m-f at 12 noon which works for me. go to na.org WHEN YOU ARE READY and you click on the united states map of where you are and low and behold there is your listing. mine is called. the miracle place which sounds good to me. of course the first time i got on, the screen froze and i had to reboot the computer. now what is that sign.........
take your time - do it when YOU are ready, that is the only way it will work for you. jess is home sick today, so i am stuck indoors again. ugh, but it's okay
last night i slept from 9-10 and then 12 -4 i'll take it, best sleep in one week!
not feeling as jittery today. took 3 yesterday - no half needed. see where i am in a minute from now i suppose
good luck
and thanks for trying with the above info. and bob - you are too funny.
you must be a real hoot.
fondly, crystal

i have an austrailian shepherd and sometimes he walks me (especially if he goes after something) I walk him three times a day and he swims in the pond and runs at the dog park. in fl, we don't have much land, in pa we have 2.5 wonderful acres so it's quite a change for him. - up north, i walk him once a day around a 2 mile block. i have four cats (can you imagine the hair in my home) and up north 6 birds (cockatiels and love birds) and 180 gal salt water tank and 50 gal fresh water tank and outside backyward pond with a beautiful waterful. i love animals and am going to keep loving them even if it kills me.........shitzus are very cute i also love huskies hey i like any of them
durby my dog has been wondering why i dont sleep all night and was following me around for the first 6 nights - last night he just slept through - finally figured out i am goofy!!!
p.s. i used to have hamsters - until there got to be 22 of them - gave them to the pet store. never again with them for me. but one is cute i am sure.
with the waterfalls, i beleive running water is very relaxing so, i put fountains throughout my house it's good feng shui
and if you put black or a water object (even a picture) just inside every doorway, that is suppose to help the flow of good energy throughout your house,and if you want money, put salt in the four corners (table salt) just dump some in th four corners of the room you pay your bills. that is what i am told. and for good health, lots and lots of green plants. for what it's worth
how i ever got on this subject sorry
i am going to be quiet now - i used to do one line sentences, now look at me cant get me to shut up - sorry
if i bore the heck out of you - just scroll on through!!!!!
fondly,
crystal

Crystal,
Guess we are not messing around lololol, I found meetings, yeah!!! One may be near my house, there is one on Tueday, near me. But there are different ones everyday. So I will make it a point, to attend a meeting as soon as physically possible. Dr.appt. today, husband closes,kids activities, school volunteering/tomorrow shoppingw/daughter for her birthday, husband home for 3 day weekend, then will not barely see him for 2 weeks lolol. We did make a commitment to go to Church this Sunday (I love it, just seem to not go, I think it's because we have to be there by 9:00am, we are not morning people lolol)that will help. So I am thinking next week for sure, this gives me time to organize and figure which would be best. I will try NA, but I am afraid they will not accept me on any pain meds-4 Norco per day, until all treatments are finished, even if not abused, and being treated by Dr., so I may take this time to think about an AA meeting instead, maybe more open ???? Well YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!! Have a great day, won't be back on until later, just wanted to tell you thanks for looking that up. So glad you got some sleep. Have a beautiful day. Take care and Best Wishes

how was your dr's appt? are you saying that na will not take anyone that is still on medicine (am i understanding correctly)
my daughter is pretty sick with a fever and chills and coughing the poor thing - she is sleeping right now and for that i am grateful. she will feel better when she wakes up i hope. lots of fluids - she is not real hungry which is understandable. isnt it starve a fever feed a cold?
hope your day was successful. mine was good. i feel good today (i could complain some believe me, but why)

I hope your daughter is starting to feel better, poor thing. Nothing worse than a sick child with a fever, you feel so helpless. You just want to take their pain away. I did not sleep more than an hour or two, but that was ok, just glad not to have a migraine ;o). My husband took me to the Dr. (the treatment makes me dizzy and nauseas). It went well, I handled it better than before, I guess each time will get easier ;o). The Dr. brought up pain mgmt, I told him no long acting narcotics, so that was a good step. He put me on Effexor, an anti-depressant that may help me with pain, and help me sleep. So it actually worked out good, I think an anti-depressant right now isn't bad. I don't know if you can take those at AA or NA ????? Well one step at a time. I found the meetings, and even discussed with my husband, at first he thought I was crazy, but after explaining things, he thought it maybe good, at least try a couple was where we left it. I had a good afternoon, kids just got home from school. Easy dinner, Deli sandwiches/yogurt/applesauce, so this evening will be a snap. My husband is at work. I am looking forward to Church and a meeting next week, going to it with open ears and open heart. I hope you are having a good day, and your feeling well. Thanks so much for asking how my day went. How's your evening going, is your daughters fever starting to break? Is your husband coming home soon? Have you discussed any of this subject with him? Just answer what your comfortable with ;o). Have a nice evening. Take care and Best Wishes
P.S. I always put food in a post if possible lololol. I love food lololol.

Best wishes, I just wanted to let you know that AA does not have an opinion on anti depressants. I have not heard of people abusing them (I suppose you could), and I know many people in recovery that take them.
Good luck--I hope you enjoy your meeting.
August

Best Wishes,
I would suggest you use caution with any drug. I Have, heard of people abusing some forms of anti-depressants. And I do know that some of them once you start taking them you have to be weined ( <spelling?) off.
But I do also know people who need them and do very well with them.
Take care..................................God bless.....................................Bob

I am truley excited you guys are gonna give it a shot and try a few meetings.
If I may suggest, if you can by a Big Book, I recomend the 3rd or 4th edition.
The newer edition is easier in my opinion for people of our generation to relate to.
The first 164 pages is a guide to recovery and are the same as the 1st edition.
The remaining chapters are updated versions that we today can easier relate to.
I promise each of you will find yourselves somewhere in that book.
Again, good luck........Take care...................God bless.....................Bob
Most meetings have the Big Book for sale, just ask who ever is chairperson at your meeting..........*wink*

Guest,
Thanks for the heads up, I have taken anti-depressants before and never stayed on them long, didn't like the side effects, it was like you never felt real happy, or really sad, so I usually just quite them myself, and told the Dr. that they weren't for me. So I can't imagine abusing them. I appreciate your information, and will see how these go, if they help the pain I deal with, they maybe an option. I will keep you posted. Thank you, take care and Best Wishes
Bob,
Thanks for that advise, it can be overwhelming to walk in a room with new people and then to decide what book to purchase, I really appreciate it. I am going to write it down, I know I will forget as soon as I see all of the editions lololo. Have a great night, Best Wishes
