i hop boards because I like the information and people on many of the boards, i learn from them whether they are addicts OR family, i want to deal with my situation the best i can, and when i first came here i really knew nothing about addiction other than what i saw in my own house, i had no tools and no support network, nothing. i have at least more information, more ways to protect myself emotionally and financially, I came here initially to "save" my son only to realize that it was me that needed the saving and I am really working every day on that concept, somedays good, somedays crappy. I like reading others stories because they are struggling with addiction in some way. Priscilla, when i came here, i went to heroin board looking for information and hope, so i really shouldnt have invaded your post there, sorry, it was yours to look for what you were hoping for answers..hope you got what you were looking for. well i am going on a shopping road trip with my bff today, going to work my credit card til it squeals like a pig lol why, i may even buy new spoons for the house..(sorry if offensive) and the sun is out and gorgeous here today..so life is good for this mamma have a good one everyone
Have mad fun, momg =)
I, too, hop boards and always have...I have learned from every single poster here, there, and everywhere, and as this is a public forum I make no apologies for responding to whatever thread I choose to. As with all other things I have learned to take what I need and leave hte rest...that's how this place works.
To paraphrase the Stones, you can't always get what you want, but you might get what you need.
Peace good people ~ M&M

Not sure what's worse..........WHY I BOARD HOP.........sounds like a kinky lil thing ya do in private with a bunny tail on.........SPOONS...............Only you MomG.........we don't need to be hearing about no spoons..........someone here got busted and they mentioned besides a bundle of dope..........$$$$$$$$........a heart shaped spoon...........followed by.....to use the heroin........well thanks for that.
In all seriousness I have pretty much board hopped from the start........I felt so bad for the suffering parents.......I needed to say "No, they are sorry and they do love you but they are sick"...........GYAC was good with the Mom's.......and we got to learn all about his dear mom....and heck we never really crossed eachother........right?
New spoons. Out of his own house. No cereal for nobody.
Hope ya had fun MomG.
We're pulling for Priscilla as well.

so I bought plastic silverware haha only because it was cute.. when i first started here i enjoyed GYAC and elim do they come back? lot of coming and going and i guess thats just the way it goes..i like following other people and i feel connection when i read the same people and their daily stuff and in a broad sense this is the only place that i have that i really feel i can bare my soul and honestly get support..
Elim did yet another vanishing act, and GYAC defected to FB where he single-handedly keeps the site going =)
I board hop and I learn and appreciate the words of wisdom from all.
Con the spoons maybe my fault, it came from a list mage ages ago on the family board of things that disappeared from your house when you loved an addict. It was a long list and it was pretty funny and when we mentioned it momg said at first she didn't twig why she had no spoons early on.
Now spoons are a real sore subject in our house, yes not money, or drugs but flaming spoons sometimes I just can't find any - but I can't say does anyone know where there are any spoons because it's like I've threatened to invade Poland or something. He climbs right up on his high horse and starts declaring he hasn't taken them then we move the fridge and there's a pile of them.

now thats funny jaz
...so THATs where they are !! I'd love to read that list...:) :) :)
I think you all would be surprized at how many people ready ALL the boards but don't always post. I read here, every day, but mostly just to keep an eye on those I adore. But also to get information..heroin of course, was never a DOC and hasn't shown up in my family yet but it's good to learn about all things drug.
I got where you were coming from momg )

Con I'll search back and try to find it.
It was a good few years ago when cynical one was about and I was very green and I used to throw spoons - hell can you imagine- like why???
I said I was going to throw out of the house every single thing that could be used for drugs and I made a list the usual stuff, spoons, foil, matches, cans, then someone added straws, lemon juice, vinegar and then it went on and on and got silly and funny - I think Tina added -the gas cooker and I remember cynical saying she kept losing pens the inside of them can't even imagine what it was for but it was part of some paraphenalia and then someone had their bloke brake off bit of her radio arial to use for something and then I realized I'd be sitting there with nothing and still it wouldn't help one bit because it wasn't anything to do with the household stuff that was being used - like I say I was a bit dim and I even got to laughing about how stupid I was myself.
My bloke put a post it note on a tablespoon it said ' please don't hurt me it's not my fault I was born a spoon" I haven't thrown one since.

HAHAHAHA!!! He's pretty funny, Jaz...no wonder you're so partial to him...
oops-
Even spoons place blame "It's not my fault. I was born a spoon".
Jaz, that is golden.
Crack with the car antenna thing I still do not get. WTH? I know crack addicts do it, but I still don't get it.
Guilty myself of the pen thing. Big time. Way back when.
"It's not my fault I was born a Brynn":)

I said oops because I wasnt going to post but- what the hell....**
I also hop around a bit, I find that the pain pill board gets into some serious support and recovery talk..and I have my favorites posters over there so I stop by ,but usually dont post often
The only board I dont really stop by is the marijuana board- - with my own personal beliefs- - medically, politically, financially, legally and ethically being what they are> I believe it would be wrong and just disrespectful to post on a board, where people are having problems with this weed -
Keeping my politics out of it- - I hope MJ smokers get it together , just as any other abuser.
