Please read the post's..........If Deidre was reading them the way we intended for her to recieve them.......She would know these posts, were written with love & concern, I'm sorry she feels that way, but I agree with CG,,,,,,,This is HER desision.............Only she knows if she wants sobriety!!!
I Have spinal stenosis so bad the pain has been pretty unbearable as of late
With the news of hurricane Wilma hitting Fl..............I Worked my butt off for 4 straight days, as a cashier in a large grocery store.........Yesterday, I Went & bought one of those 8 hour patches for my back, Ya gotta try!!
Also, Let me add Her recent cancer scare really shook me up, but I Also want her to know that both my friends with cancer, the one who just passed away, & the one who's about to pass away, were both alcoholic's & heavy smokers!
Upon their diagnosis & death sentence.........They quit doing both, drinking & smoking...........It wasn't going to extend their life, but it was a personal choice they made, A Very brave one!! We are here to support Deidre, but she has to want it. All said with love Poopie!!
Love Dottie

Poopie,
I wasn't around this weekend so I don't know what happened, but if you email Medusa please tell her for me, that she's an addict, just like me, and we need her as much as she needs us.
Hope you're doing well yourself.
Love,
Gina

Dear sweet poopie Like all have said read the post & than You can deside.As for me I will always try to help,but I will admit I felt hurt by her.If what she is saying IS true than you know my heart goes out to her.If what she is saying ISNT true she really needs to sit & think about what she wants.Not only from this board but from herself.I would like to belive that NOBODY would make up sad stories like that,but I just dont know.As you & mostly everyone on here knows Ill try my best to help anyone but like everyone else I sort of feel......used?Anyways poopie you are one of those rare angels walking the earth today & I am so glad your doing alittle better & posting I miss you.....mj
until you read all of the posts, you have no idea what's been said.
Dottie...did the patch work? Take care of yourself....standing and working like that all day has got to be hard. Can you take frequent breaks? Have you ever tried massages? They are heaven. That and I'm finding that Yoga really helps to make me more flexible. It's a crack up to watch me, but hey...I do my best.

I did read the posts, but only once through. I found all those threads to be triggering. It's still not clear to me if Medusa has cancer or not -- whether she merely posted in panic when the test results came back positive for ovarian cancer. I thought it was a positive sign that she finally followed everyone's advice to go see a doctor, rather than self-medicating for pain.
Cancer issues aside, she is still an addict, is she not? And quoting what I have learned from this board, all addicts lie, addicts seem to push people away while at the same time begging to be held, we all need f2f support in one form or another, but it's a shame when an addict feels this board isn't a safe place anymore.
It's no fun thinking one's loving attention has been abused. I know that one of the things I've needed to learn in sobriety is setting appropriate boundaries with people. For example, my instinct is to jump in on suicide threads, but I know that there's little if anything I can do on a BB for someone who is truly suicidal. I also know that I am, like many addicts, drawn to drama and to fixing other people so that I don't have to fix myself. I guess I feel like I'm being a little cold and uncaring when I turn off the computer in the face of certain "dramatic" threads. In the end however, I am following PregnantMom's excellent advice -- in case of cabin depressurization, I adjust my own oxygen mask before assisting the people around me. But I'm sure none of us would ask that another person exit the plane even if they, in a panic, kept swatting us away when we tried to help. It is perfectly understandable that one might in future, not try to help that person anymore and move on to more willing objects. There are plenty of people here and more than enough help to go around.
