Hi All

Hi everyone..well i have been on the sub for a little over a week now, and its going really well.Now though, Im coming to terms with all the damage i have done, and it is so much worse than i want to admit. I mean here it is 2 weeks till Christmas and we have no money to buy gifts for our kids. Due to the fact we are trying to pay a house payment to keep a roof over our heads..utilities to keep heat and light in our home. I just keep thinking how they would be better off without me. I have hurt them so terribly. They just deserve so much better. And that includes my husband..he is trying so hard. Well off for another good cry. Thanks for listening.

Leolady, I know right now it is hard for you to realize that getting clean is the best gift you can give your children. That, and keeping a roof over their heads. Maybe you can get on a list with some charity in order to help out your family.

I wish you only the best in your endeavor. God Bless You!
You deserve better as well. We all need you clean, and you are doing that so that is great news. Your family just wants you back. get clean and be the person you are supposed to be.Good luck

Hi there... like Janet said, although it doesn't seem like it right now... getting clean is the best Christmas ever. I mean that... you are doing the right thing and they are lucky to have you. Be proud that you are able to be with them this Christmas and not high. Love, Bri :)
I can so relate hun, but our kids ( mine are 17 7 19 ) are better off with us.. At least mine will understand why there aren't tons of gifts under the tree. I have started to work part time, but still struggling to get caught up on all I let fall behind......I actually realized I don't really need a cell phone since I am home most the time...the rest of the gang have one since they are gone most the time, but it was one step to getting rid of what I don't really need right now..
Thank goodness I have a hun who also underdstands..
Its tough but hang in there
