Drug Addiction Support Group

I likes to wish everyone a "Great Weekend", we had several new members join us so again I want to say Welcome to the group, You are not alone here.

I will be off line for the weekend, going to be trying to show my bf how to use a program on the computer, He is sooooooooooooooooooooo slow, its so fustrating. But at least he can fix my heat, been w/o heat all week, using small electric heaters I have. So I will be pulling my heart out and screaming alot!!

Have a Great Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

So here it is, the weekend, we have had a rough week, members going through w/drawals, others not able to find help for loved ones, then those going through medical tests, dealing w/ sick loved ones and then fleabag suffer craving because the pain of her father's illness is unbearable. Fleabag stay strong we are here for you. Sinistergrin's grandfather was sick and he also was craving drugs again close to relapse, but he hasn't responded so I hope all went well with him. So we have alot of people to pray for this weekend.

I hope by Monday things will look better. Try and have a great weekend....always..Ana

Well, here it is, Friday again. This week I have been going slow, I have been more tired than usual, energy level low, so maybe a restful weekend will help. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

SmilePretty will be visiting ex bf in rehab, I know our prayers go w/ her. Jan finally got help for her son, lets just hope this appt w/ the dr goes through w/o problems. She has been working hard trying to find help for him. I hope, Jan, that you finally found someone to help. Heather has been quiet this week, her father has alzeihemers and she is having a hard time dealing with it. so she also needs our support to get her through this tough time.

Then we have members struggling w/ withdrawal symptoms, our prayer are with you all, stay strong, baby steps and keep your goal in mind. cmatini needs us to help her stay strong. She has been doing great but still has a way to go before its over. Jewl we are proud of you, of the progress of your detoxing. Stay on the path, we are here to help you get through this. We have a couple of new members,Kas and Disstton who started on the road to recovery, our prayers are w/ then as well. NicoleLee, how was your week, any progress on your path to recovery.

Also I learned something new this week, the Thomas Recipe, basically its vitamins and herbs that help you get through detox. Members can google it if they want more info. I would also like to hear from anyone who has tried this.

I would also like to thank Jenny, she has been a great support to many here that are fighting for a clean life.

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Members, I am going on vacation with my bf to Florida, alittle anxious since last year when we went he was a total jerk. Last year was my 1st vacation being clean and he was scared I would relapse, at least that is how he explained his behavior. I turely hope this year we will be able to enjoy it. I will be back on 5/4. I have members to oversee the group so you will get feedback to your post. I will try to get internet access but don't know if I can. Have a great week.

I just wanted the members to know that this week I am going to be busy, got my monthly dr appt. then driving to my daughter's place to dog and house sit while she goes on vacation, Once I get settled at here place I will be back online.

I hope everyone is holding on, staying strong, one day at a time.

I will hopefully be back online towards the end of the week, I just hope my internet works up there, it is set up for wireless.. so if you don't hear from me its because I couldn't get online service.

Have a great week, one day at a time...always....Ana

Well it's good to hear from you and understand where your at, life has a course for us and the best we can do is keep rolling with the punches, I'll affirm health and happiness for you tonight,

I'm doing a lot better myself although it's been hard watching my 19 year old daughter coming home drunk sometimes, I'm sure she'll get through it just like I did, until then God will guide her path.

Blecan its so wonderful that you have come bak and visited us, I love it when dear old friends stop by.

Hopefully this is just a phase for your daughter. When my daughter was a teen, she di drink and try some drugs, but I would watch closely and have talks to her about her future dreams, I told her what kind of life to excpect if she continued with drugs, she also had me as an example and then I told her about the endless possibilities that can be her future, I know it may sound silly but I would tell her she could even be our 1st female president. She has her whole life in front of her. She is now very successful in her chosen career. So keep an eye on her, make sure it doesn't become a problem.

What have you been doing? I am feeling alot better, I thought when I first got clean that all my problems were over, but I soon realized that new issues would come up and I had to deal w/ it w/o relapsing. So you continue daily to work on yourself.

So that is where I am now, but my pain is under control and so is my anxiety, which is great, I just wish I had more energy or time in the day to do all I want. Its like starting a new life.

Its so GREAT to hear from you.

It has been so nice hearing from old friends like blecan, arual, jocelynAnn and of course fleabag, I hope all of you decide to stay awhile, also made some good friends this week.

I am at my daughter's place and have been doing too much, I had all these plans but what my mind wants to do my body doesn't always follow. So I will be on and off online need to take life at a slower pace, but will return all messages when I am able.

Welcome Mobey to our group, I know you will be there for the members, your experiences w/ addiction can be a great support to many members. And we are here also for you, to cry and laugh with you, whatever you need...............always/...Ana

Hello all my friends and members, just wanted to let everyone know I will get to the posts as soon as I can, just feeling tired and sick, need to rest, was overdoing it and came crashing down, but I will get caught up as soon as my health allows

Hope everyone has a great day...always.......Ana

Hope all the members in US, enjoy the 4th of July celebrations, who is going to see fireworks, it sucks because its on wednesday so we don't get a weekend holiday, which is more exciting.

I am slowly recovering and if you sent me a PM I will get back to you as soon as I am doing better, Just exhausted, and this heat wave is not helping, so I am resting and hope to be better soon.

I have to learn my limitations, its like starting life all over again, learning new ways to cope and learning more about myself (thanks Odie), even though the abuse of drugs and alcohol has stopped, there are so many psychological issues I have to deal w/ and not use drugs as the answer, its a whole new life for me. I have to solve my problems and situations in a whole new way, its like we never stop growing or learning even if the abuse stops...I thought if I finally stoped the abuse and dealt with the issues that caused my addiction my work was done. But odie has shown me that is not how life works, now we have to learn a different way of life, a different way of thinking and dealing with life..if anyone is having a hard time, just ask odie for help he is great, but he gives it to you straight, the total truth, no beating around the bush w/ him, he has helped me so much..I hope others find his advice as useful as I have...
