hey mr. b- i posted to you in 'for the mods' thread that you started this morning. apparenly i took the thread off kilter and didn't mean to do so, yet i put $50 on the origins of your name.
i've only watched the show once when a friend was in it, but i am a new yorker and live in the neighborhood where they shot the show........."sex in the city".
are you "mr big"???
i await your reply!
best, jojo
JoJo-you're killin me here. LOL
ww, in another thread someone asked our mr. b the orgins of his name. he said it was easy to figure out but he wasn't going to tell. then suddenly it hit me, why it's "mr big" and now i must know. so i ask.......
and yet we have another suggestion of.... "mr brain" since he is a student of physics.....
another thought maybe it was for "brian".
i'm still putting $50 on 'mr big' and i'm not a gambling gal, clearly my clean brain needs some wholesome amusement or a good nancy drew book to help me thru this void. lol.
mr b, i am not teasing you at all. this is purely off topic. and by no means intend to offend only to explore and there are so many possiblities!
best,
:)

2. Mr. Bigstuff- just cause it sounds cute

A mystery of the same scale as the Where is Hardcharger! lol
I believe I saw HC in Tom's chat. As for B, could be "brilliant" because he is.
Have a good one today ladies. I think I may venture out in public, wish me luck. I need some "new sober me" clothes. Shopping therapy. I actually wore something with heels yesterday, I felt....um.....taller.....LOL.... and like a woman instead of a 17 year old.
My Doctor says that all that crying I'm doing is good, healthy release. Not all Doctors cover the tears with another pill, how cool is that?

Just Feel Better
She said I feel stranded
And I can't tell anymore
If we coming or I'm going
It's not how I planned it
I've got the key to the door
But it just won't open
And I know, I know, I know
Part of me says let it go
That life happens for a reason
I don't, I don't, I don't
It goes I never went before
But this time, this time
I'm gonna try anything that just feel better
Tell me what to do
You know I can't see through the haze around me
And I do anything that just feel better
And I can't find my way
Girl I need a change
And I do anything that just feel better
Any little thing that just feel better
She said I need you to hold me
I'm a little far from the shore
And I'm afraid of sinking
You're the only one knows me
And who doesn't ignore
That my soul is weeping
I know, I know, I know
Part of me says let it go
Everything must have it seasons
Round and round it goes
And every day's a one before
But this time, this time
I'm gonna try anything that just feels better
Tell me what to do
You know I can't see through the haze around me
And I do anything that just feel better
And I can't find my way
God I need a change
And I do anything that just feel better
Any little thing that just feel better
Long to hold you in my arms
To all things I ought to leave behind, yeah
It's really getting nowhere
I think I need a little help this time!
Yeah

hardcharger is in vegas!!! having a ball. returning tomorrow.
thanks for checkin in dude, enjoy
i'm back, but you know what goes on in vegas stays in vegas. but anyway, it's nice being straight in vegas and enjoying all the lights and entertainment and activities, i know one of my trips, i was smoked up untilt takeoff and my mind was crisp the whole few days, and just looking forward to coming back and jumping in my car and lighting up. i am finally starting to feel good mentally, it has taken many weeks and i have endured alot of emotional pain. it was worth it, i know i don't want to start all over again.
Kudos to you hardcharger !
great for you hardcharger- i'm glad you are feeling better. i still haven't clicked in, still feel lost but sticking with it.
to all- i just had a fight with my hub. who doesn't understand why i don't want to go to the zoo with him and our little one a 25 degree sunday when i/we can do some things warm and cozy here. he left with her in a huff. now all i want to do is call the weed dude. but i won't. i'm so far into this clean time that i don't want to go thru it again, because i will have to eventually aka soon. it will only open a can of worms i don't need to open nor honestly want to open. i am talking to myself like a best friend would if i had one i could share with. i also don't want to take that one hit and feel confused. as much as i know/feel i can not think straight i know that getting high is just going to jumble up my mind. there i said it!
SO gonna go sort out a box of old files. fight tears or maybe just give in to them...... no weed dude and a clean me. i feel awful but ...... hardchargers post gave me hope that someday i will feel better.
i'm 2 1/2 months into this. still have no clarity, no ability to think straight.....i'm depressed, lost, lonely.....though i don't think getting high will help things at all.
thanks for letting me vent. the only place i can.

Can you take this opportunity to treat yourself after your hard work(sorting out box of old files)?
Do something you enjoy ?
Go for a walk?
Sing, Dance
Bathe
creative expression
comedy movie or channel
positive self-talk
Just some things that work for me.
When I am depressed I often find myself doing the same things every day. I often put off doing the things I need to do or would like to do.
From personal experience, in the depths of my depression I did not see how it effected my loved ones. My h asked me several times to join him and our son when they take day trips on sundays. I can see it now, his angry and annoyance was out of fear that he was losing me to the sadness.
When speaking to him about it I shared that the best I was capable of while feeling blue is share in a movie with them or a puzzle. Once we had some dialogue and I had some perspective, things improved.
Thinking about you today, JoJo, as I go off shopping for new boots now.
You're not alone. this is hard work.
Be proud for not using.

thank you ww- your words/advice always help and hit the spot.
i had offered my husband a counter plan as it is way cold here; brunch in the hood and the local playground or something in the playroom downstairs. not good for him he needed to get OUT and chip away at our annual zoo membership (not to mention my daughter loves the zoo).
i did cry and am still crying. they still aren't home and it's so cold out there i am concerned for my little one as i'm afraid he is proving a point. though i don't think he would do that at her expense. they are probably warm in a diner somewhere.
i did go for a walk thanks to you and hippinerd, who i IM'd in tears thanks hippie.
and i looked for princess party inviations for the little one's b-day party. didn't find them so i went online and ordered them. (no wonder i don't leave the house!)
also bought myself something special i with the money i did not/have not spent on weed:)
thanks again, your words help.
hope you found nice boots!

Yeah don't worry :) I am not going anywhere yet. Just so danged busy these days, and its only going to get worse. I found a few grams of pot in a drawer in my bedroom last night... Its freaking me out, I want to smoke it/throw it away/hold on to it to give to someone... yikes... maybe i'll call up a friend who could use it and deliver it to him tonight! I don't like knowing its there...
Anyways I'm staying strong, staying focused
Cheers!
Mr.B

Mr. B,
Something to ponder.
Would you really be a friend by giving a friend your weed ?
A consideration for you. Be a friend to yourself and flush it.
You have the courage. I've read about it here.

yeah WW i know what you mean. But, and this is just my own oppinion, I don't really think there is anything wrong with smoking a bit of pot for fun. There is something teribly wrong with abuseing it to the extent that I have and am still capable of.
I made my brothers day by giving that to him. And I kind of did want to flush it. I dunno, perhaps even a measley 3 or 4 joints really IS a big deal. Maybe I made a mistake... oh well whats done is done, he's happy and I'm sober.
One thing I am sure of, I wish i had never found that pile'o'buds in my drawer... Oh and its been sitting open and exposed to the air for 16 days now.. yuck! I warned him of that!

Mr.B
Yeah, you're right. I was projecting my stuff onto you.
I went through a really rough time awhile back and ended up relapsing after many years of sobriety due to a friend offering me a toke. It wasn't long before the fun tokes became a daily dose.
I'm currently questioning why a friend would do this, they knew my story?
Once again, my stuff. Take care.
