Jody has been a member of this board for a long time and today she emailed me saying that she wouldn't be back here. Not because of anyone but because she's given up. She doesn't think that she'll ever quit using or drinking and doesn't want to waste anyone's time. She doesn't think she's worthy of our love and respect.
I asked her to please read here tomorrow....I'm hoping that people will post to her and let her know that's she's not alone and that she's loved because she's a fellow addict and any one of us could be in her shoes.
I truly believe that this is what this board was created for. For people like Jody who are so beaten down and have absolutely given up. They need to know that there are people out there that understand and care.
I really hope you see this Jody and like I told you earlier, I am always here, no matter what.
Love
Lisa
Lisa, I know you posted this thread for Justjody but I also know another member of this board who is going through a hard time right now and doesn't post that often. I was hoping we could all here offer our support and prayers to all who are still struggling with addiction or other problems. Thanks, Shantel
I agree Shantel...this is for anyone who is struggling...

Jodi,
I don't post much at all, but i will tonight..................
This board has been my lifeline and you have been a part of this. Yes, we fall, we fail, we feel like giving up, but please know that the feelings you have right now will pass. Feelings can not stay forever.
Jodi, i have never met u, don't even know if Jodi is your real name, but we have a common bond. We are both struggling to get to the point where we are not a slave to our addiction.
Please reconsider and pray, pray, pray.

Jody,
Hey young lady! I agree with CG that while this board helps so many in recovery, it is also a place where those still struggling with their addictions or starting to question the repercussions of their continued abuse can come and have someone to talk to...You have every right to be here girlie girl. I know some of your situation and the fact that it is hard for you to get on-line time to yourself. Make sure you come back here and post when you can ok? Don't ever EVER give up on yourself....
Big Group Hugs of Support,
Jan

Bump for Jodi
Jodi,
You are loved and needed here. Last year when hubby and I were fighting, you helped me so much. You always had the right words to say at the right time. You are more than worthy of love and respect, from here and everywhere. Please don't give up and please don't leave here for the wrong reasons. You are so smart and have so much to offer. We need you and you need us, so please reconsider. (((HUG))) Love, Atlas

Don't give up Jody, no one here is giving up on you.
You're worth it.
much love,
Amy
Jody, if I never hung out with people in recovery, I would have never found my way there. I had to decide what I wanted and the experience, strength and hope of others gave me that extra push and guidance that I needed.
My alternative was to continue to associate with people who were doing the same thing I was and more than happy to see me stay that way.
When you're ready to get off the ride, you will, no matter what your association. It's just easier and you'll be more likely to do it if you surround yourself with those who already have.
Take care.

Jodi,,
I miss our emails. I hope to God you don't give up, because whether you can see that right now or not, sweetie, you ARE SO WORTH IT!!! So are your kids! They deserve to have a mommy. And you can come through for yourself and your family and be a stronger person for it.
You've been through so much, it's high time you dump all the negative things in your life and start fresh. Talk to your mom. Please. She WANTS to help you. I know I would want to know if my girl was going through hell.
You can email me anytime. I love you
