Jenny: I'm not giving up yet!! Bare with me. And for sure keep up the prayer. The devil is after me and hard at my heels! I have waited all day and of course now that I am having to go to a late Christmas at my dad's, well, guess what? Just didn't feel very strong. Christmas is a VERY bad time for me. Lots left in the past trying to take away my future. But I have made an appointment for counseling and intend on attending at least 1 meeting before that appointment! Out of town of course. Can't have anybody ratting me out! And you really know what I mean! lol My spirit is down but not crushed. I can feel God everywhere. He knows I need him to realize where I am weak He is strong instead of always trying to be strong and not need Him!
So is that the email for work or home?
Thanks again, I needed to see this today and know that at least somebody does care!
Still haven't heard from my husband!
And to Danielle and Abby and Mj-Thank you guys too! I do think our kids are much smarter than we are! If it weren't for them, I know I wouldn't get up in the mornings! And I know I don't want them to form their personalities off of one that isn't real! That scares me a lot. I am so afraid of what they have already been exposed to. Mostly my eldest child. She's 11. The other children are much younger!! I only started out very early with one!! But sshhewww....what a hard lesson! I was a single mom for 7yrs. So, needless to say my kids are like 8yrs. apart. Maybe a little more! And my baby, she's 18mths. My eldest actually may need counseling for some of my behavior she has already formed. And she, too, is adhd. Which I am finding out is linked to bipolar disorder. The blows keep coming but I feel like I am getting so much more educated. I KNOW that will be a plus in my permanent recovery!


Hey FF.......you are so funny! I live in a small town and know exactly how you feel about the meeting. I did go to one meeting, though. There was 40 people there and I didn't know one of them! ha ha But I haven't been back.

I go to counseling, also. It is very helpful, but I keep wondering why my counselor agrees with me about everything. If I was so dang smart about everything, why did I get addicted and why am I so angry and depressed now?? My counselor has a women's group......."Women in Trauma" it's called. I thought, "Well, I certainly qualify for that!" Had all the symptoms listed on the brouchure, so I going to start attending it and hopefully another NA meeting in another town. We all need as much outside support as we can get, they say.

So sorry about your husband. /Could not imagine dealing with that! I will keep you both in my prayers.

Know about the weak feeling. Take your B12 and pray. Both work miracles.
You are doing great! Keep it up.
don't give up, flips..it is worth it..

Trideitmom: Maybe your counselor is...traumatized!!! lol!
I know those kind of people though! Or the ones that laugh at everything you say so you leave them feeling funny...until you run in to someone else and say the exact same things and they reassure you that you are NOT funny! Man I hate that!! I will be glad to get to counseling. I feel like maybe then I will be getting somewhere. Unless she agrees with everything I say! lol! Maybe I should call back and ask to be set up with a man! No, just picking. I will be glad to hear something from my husband. This is getting crazy. This is the longest I have been without hearing from him. Anyway, thank you for your prayers, they are really needed!!
Littlebeach: Thank you for your reply. I know it is worth it and that I have to do this so I can be who I was designed to be. I sure can't be that person like this. It is amazing how fast the time flys by when you are using. When I went that 5days I felt like time had stopped. We were even getting in bed earlier and getting a routine back. So tomorrow has to be a better day for me. No excuses. Just me.
