Hey Lacey
Haven't seen you on here for a while? What's up girl? What magic in glass have you been creating lately? Hope all is well with you. Check in if you get the chance.
Idgie.

Hi Lacey,
How are you? Haven't heard from you since just after x-mas. I know you were hoping and waiting for some work to come in. I'm hoping it has and your using your beautiful talents to create something fantastic like you do. Are you still going to those meetings that you were so excited about?
I to am missing your ESH and I'm missing your love and laughter around here. I hope everything is OK. Please Lacey check in when you can. Sending hugs and prayers your way. Hey I don't know if you ever read that one thread as another one was passing at the same time, but I was wondering what kind of herbs you used in you natural homopathic healing if you don't mind sharing. It's the thread with your beautiful stained art glass work. I take vitamins and minerals reguarly and the first month I took some amino acids for cravings helped alot.
Take Care, Your Friend, Chris

Hi guys. Thanks for the shout out; I was hiding!!
Why, because you will probably think I'm nuts!!
Well, in real style, I embraced the NA meetings completely and went every day, then after a week decided that it was absolutley not for me and will never go again!!
I can be like that. Something happens that is the best thing ever and then I will change my mind so dramatically it even surprises me!! The meetings were really helpful in getting through Christmas because it is hard and I was on a bit of a slippery slope, and they helped me pull myself back up and I am now in a good space again. It is quite funny though because I pretended I never posted on this website, removed it from favourites, and didn't look - until curiosity got the better of me! Also pretended skg hadn't emailed me to ask if I was ok until my conscience got the better of me!
Ho hum. Why should I feel guilty because I changed my mind about something? Silly really, but I would have disappeared for months because I feel like it is an admittance that I have failed. Eh? How do I work that one out then? I have not had a drink or a drug in 22&1/2 months, have a house, small business, car, friends, family, health, and am doing very well. That is not a failure!!
Chris, you ask about homoeopathy. Well, I use classical homoeopathy which is taking a single remedy which lasts for about eight weeks. It is amazingly powerful stuff and along with a good practitioner has helped me incredibly. The remedies can be made from anything basically - animal, vegetable, mineral. What the remedy is really is an energetic imprint of the original material which is absorbed into your energetic field so it can work with it and raise your energetic vibrations basically, enhancing health. It's holistic and so works on body, mind and spiritual levels. I would never have got to where I am today without it. I value its efficiency greatly. I was in a real mess so it has taken a long time to undo all that mess, but I am getting there and soon will be able to cease treatment because I will be functioning as a fully healthy human being. That's the deal with homoeopathy - it cures you.
Work is picking up again which is good. Here is a detail from a window I made for a hotel before christmas.

Hey, Lacey.
Glad you're okay. Just have to check on the folks that have helped me in my recovery--just in case, you know. Certainly wouldn't want them thinking I CARED or anything. ~wink~
It's YOUR program and YOU are responsible for it. I just wanted you to know you're missed when you're gone. It's not always about you, you know.
LOL!!!
Get back to work!

Hi Lacey,
Good to hear from you. You don't have to apologise or make excuses for changing your mind; I'm slowly learning that one myself, what other people think of me is none of my business. Take care and stay in touch.....
one day at a time, Cookster

I love you guys!! I should know by now that you are not going to judge me!!!
I went to a birthday party last night of my uncles, which was brilliant. Had a great time. This is the same family who had a first birthday party for the newest edition last year and I tried to go but was so scared I just drove past the house crying!!
Actually, I have been a social animal since Christmas!! Have hardly had any time on my own. Stark contrast to this time last year. Billy no mates!! Ha ha!!
Have a good day all.

Hey I love you to!
You are certainly no failure girl! Ever bought a pair of shoes loved them for a wk or two then decided they weren't right for you so you returned them? I know I have. I've tried AA and had good and bad experiences with it. It's not every bodies cup of tea.
For me I won't go as far to say I'll never go because I went to one last wk. and liked it. I'm really glad that there is such a program for those who want it and I might be one of them someday.
I do remember when you were afraid to go to the family party and you felt bad about it. If you want you could repost the thread so you can see how much youv'e changed in that regards. I think its fantastic that your not isolating anymore. I'm still working on it. Lacey you give me HOPE which I want to thankyou for. If we lived close by I'd love to see your art and have a cup of tea and just chatt a bit. I see how much youv'e changed from being sober and I love and admire your talent. You go girl!
I feel a bond with you because you were so honest about the depths of what addiction had done to you how it took you to that dark and awful place. You know where you didn't flipping care about yourself anymore, dreadlocks and all.
I to was one of those who went really far down that dark scary and lonely road. I didn't even start talking about it until last yr. I remember Cookster one time writing on the grateful thread that he was grateful that he hadn't had to travel down that road as far as some. I'm grateful for him that he didn't either.
When I see where you were and where you are now it just fills me with such hope that I to can be where you are one day. Thankyou for sharing some of your story with us as I know it can be painful sometimes. But, do know it helps me to feel not so alone and gives me strength.
Love, Chris

Hi Lacey
glad all is well with you - hey you do whatever is right for your recovery and that is it - you don't owe us any explanations. That said, its interesting to here how your mind works - helps me get to know you better and I can relate to some aspects of what you say. I can go 180 degrees on something in a new york minute.
I just missed your cheery voice is all :)
I totally remember that post when you drove past the party and couldn't go in. Wow!!! Talk about progress - that is incredible.
Changing your mind is a woman's perogative hehehe.
I'm a fan of whatever method of recovery WORKS for you.
cheers

Ah, it's good to be back!! Thanks again Idgie .... and you skg!!
I do like it here. It's warm, friendly and familiar.
Chris - what is the photo? It looks very much like glass - a vase or an ornament.
It would be lovely if you lived close. You would be more than welcome to come round, drink tea and chat! If you ever come to England - look me up, Lookinup!!
I am into hypnotherapy at the moment; just audio cds, but they are very good. A guy called Glenn Harrold creates these lovely recordings. I have one on building self esteem and one on relaxation. Well worth it because they take you into your unconcious mind and implant positive suggestions which then filter through into daily existence.
Ah, Life, it is good.
