Mary... Where Are You Girl?

Mary, I've been thinking a lot about you, and your absence is conspicuous. I'm worried coz you've not been around for ages. Give us a shout, just to set my mind at ease.

love

Mary -

I have been wondering about you also. How are you doing?

Misty
Mary, so glad to hear from you - and it wasn't by mistake, and it does make a difference. I know that there are lots of Mary's, but you are THE Mary, OK kiddo! So tell me, how's tricks? Have you heard anything from HIM, recently? Is he still around, I mean, as a part of your life, or have managed to cut that cancer out of your heart?

Mary, don't put yourself down. God, I feel like Alanis Morrisette singing Mary Jane. Tell me what's going on my girl...

love

Dear Diff and Misty,
i still have narrowed my world down to the decision of either entering the door marked 'Victim' or 'Volunteer'...always thinking that this time it is going to be different....if i play according to the rules (his) then perhaps this time i will stay in the game and remain relatively unscathed....but as usual the rules are switched up in midstream and once again i find myself ejected from the frenzied rotation of the door's spin, without warning nor explanation...

i have tried to post about it..even 'slinking' off to other boards but i am always found out and chastized....of course i am singing the same old tune but with different lyrics....but i feel hopeless and scared notwithstanding...and yes i am ashamed....using is not an option but death does not scare me as it would a couple of years back in the infancy of my co dependency.....looks like God is on the side of the abusive junky and keeps looking the other way..
thanx for thinking of me luv MARY
Mary,
If a god of some kind didnt look out for us junkies- - there would be no-one on this board.

hope all is well
love&respect

Mary,
Hi, its Briar again. You know, you should be able to post anywhere about anything without getting chastized. You deserve better. I don't know your story, but am assuming its about your ex boyfriend or boyfriend?
The posts I've read from you encourage others and help others and I think that these things should be reciprocated.
You write where you want and what you want Mary, your a good person, intelligent, smart, caring and I for one would never be mean to you as I have read in other posts where some people are. Its not right. I want you to feel good about yourself. If you have time, can you tell me a little about yourself? Being clean and sober for as long as you have been is a tremendous thing in itself, and for that, you should be proud.
Briar
Mary -

I DO wish you could choose not to be the victim. I DO wish you could see your good and caring qualities. I DO understand what loving an addict can do to any of us. I DO care how you are doing.

There is absolutely no reason for you to slink around like a thief or a bad person. Everybody gets to where they need to be in their own time, and in their own way.

Please stay with us, and don't let anybody chase you out of here. If you would feel more comfortable, my e-mail is jp10158@yahoo.com. I may not always get to you right away, but I will always get to you.

All of us, whether we are the addict or the person loving the addict, are members of this club. I wish it did not have to exist, but it does exist to give us the opportunity to help each other.

To use a famous saying - Keep Coming Back!

Misty
Mary I don't know your story but co-dependency is nothing to be ashamed of and is so easy to slip into...with or without an addict. The fact that you know the word...the fact that you're on this site...those are things to be proud of...

No slinking!
