right now i'm living in an independent living program i'm still in school but right now i'm concentrating on getting a job and saving up money because my mom gets out in a couple of months and i should be going home then but i haven't been to my house in about 9 months so i'm starting to get really home sick.
well, i hope your daughter is doing better because she WANTS to not because she's locked up in the house. not to sound rude, but she could act out in other ways as well in the house...maybe even if there's a computer around. anyways, i just hope she's really taking care of herself & wants to get healthier.
i'm doing good here. i'm just really busy with all that's going on lately.
Thanks Twinks, I am so lucky to have a supportive friend like you. Thanks for being honest with me. I feel better now, and the meds have really helped with the pain. Love,Hugs,and Prayers Laurie

Hey chick.Lets set you straight.Your addiction was never pain pills.Its also about accountability!Read Keiths blog and youll see exactly what im talking about.You cannot control all things.Your L. disease is one of those things.You need the medical help offered.By not taking it it would be the same as a friend reaching out her hand to help you with your alcoholism and you not taking it!!!Its two totally different diseases and issues.Its like saying you would let yourself die from pneumonia because in the past you had cancer.Dont be silly.TAKE THE MEDS.
oh how i know that feeling all to well also my sponsor knows im in this situation but cant offer to lend a hand while i do the foot work

Hi.I wish i had words of comfort or wisdom for you but at the moment im at a loss.Im also out on my butt in a week time,with my 2yr old son.I live in africa so am miles away and cant help you.I know what you are going thru as im in the same place.Everytime anyone says to me "it will all come right" i just want to smack them.Life is getting tougher daily.

may we take time out this morning to have a moment of silence and prayer for those who courageously gave their lives so that we may be able to live ours today. for those who came home and dealt with the aftermath of war. for those who are still abroad and are unable to be with their loved ones on this day. and let us not forget those who lost their lives in their own personal battle with addiction. as we enjoy our holiday today let us keep in mind that some gave all for us to be able to have that previlege. may we keep their families and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.
hi twinks, nothing much new here. just working alot and going to alot of workshops. I am working toward getting my counseling certification and it takes alot of my time. hope all is well in your world. love, deanna
Thanks for your confidence in me Twinks. I was thinking about being able to take some classes but it is hard for me to stop nursing. I appreciate your advice..you are such a good friend. Any Luck with an apt or new job yet?
Love,Hugs,and Prayers

Hi Laurie I think you should go on the disability grant.You wont lose your identity it will just change direction a bit.I still believe you would be a fantastic counsellor and maybe this is the sign that you should start studying towards that.If you are at home you will be able to study and still have a monthly income.Just my personal thoughts and opinions. Hugs Twinks
