Time for a check in

Hi Dee,

I haven't felt well for the last two weeks. I'm going for testing this coming Thursday. I hoping this will help me find a solution to what's going on. Not knowing sets me up for depression. My foot surgery has failed...I'm still in pain whan I walk. This too has had me depressed. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need surgery again. This means another lay-up. My doctor is on away on vacation till next month. I must focus on better things ahead and not dwell on what's wrong.

Yes, I too, would like to hear from some of our members and know how they are getting on. I know it's hard to write when everything seems like it's not going too well. Part of coming out of it is to talk about it. The longer I put it off, the harder it is to talk about it. So, here I am. Looking for the best and hoping for better.

Love,
Barbara

I am new.

Well, new here. Certainly not new to addiction or recovery forums.

If it is who I think it is, I followed one of your members here from another couple of boards. She hasn't posted over there in FOREVER and I just happened to run into her (or I think its her!) here.

So this has been my struggle for 4 years. Legally prescribed at first, like always, but quickly found that it triggered my addictive personality.

Lots of happenings between now and then, but finally was required to go on Sub through a legal situation. That is still panning out.

Although I would not have necessarily chosen to be put on Sub, I am thankful that it has helped control the craziness that the pain meds led me to.

Nonetheless, I gotta deal with all the crap that I was numbing out from now. Its a tough place to be... in my head that is, with all of the everything raining down on me at once.

That's enough. G'day...

[b][i]Hi Everyone!!! Nothing crazy going on with me! Just having to stay cooped up yesterday and today as a cold spell and freeze has moved in on us here. Hopefully the last one of season. Prior to that just trying to enjoy the spring days, getting out more, enjoying the sunshine, birds singing, bees humming, flowers blooming. Ahhhh, it's wonderful to be alive isn't it! The winter is just about totally gone!!! Enjoy life and Bless You All!!! Madogs

Hi Guys,

We had a cold spell down here in Florida and the wind is whipping around like mad. I'm afraid we are in for one heck of a hurricane season. This scares me so badly. I worry for my animals outside. It's going to be the same tomorrow and heat up on the weekend. I guess no matter where we are, we wish we was somewhere else. I've been thinking of moving to Costa Rica in a few years. They are starting to build and update their roads, building shopping centers and homes. It's just in the thought stage right now. I'll go where I'm shown and take it slow.

Yes, Madogs, it is good to hear from you. The others whom are helping us is a blessing too. I hope you get warm weather soon and do all of your planting and replacing all the plants lost from the cold. I lost my Oleander tree unless it grows again from the bottom.

I've got to go get some things done around here. I'll be back this evening.

Love,
Barbara
