He gets home from a three hour outpatient treatment and in the disguise of taking the dog for a walk, takes one of the aluminum cans and goes out and gets high. Need a reprieve from this on going process of addiction. Pam

I feel your pain Pam... As always, I wish there was something more than words of support to offer you during this hard-hard time. You know you are not alone as each one of us is thinking of you and sending you loving support.

and mashed potatoes... I found my comfort food once and it is and was a Quizznos roast beef and mushroom sandwich on rosemary bread, with horseradish. Let me explain the horseradish made and makes me feel alive. I started dipping it like catsup. There are worst ways to regroup. lol It is going be a peaceful night for both of you. Lynda says rest, I say rest, treat yourself to something that will make you feel better.

Patti it was not a good time for me to read your last post..I have had the blasted stomach virus since Fri evening, better today but still yukky and after reading that food I wanted to barf again.lol.

Pam I so understand where your coming from and may God give you and the rest of us the strength to get through these hard days. Prayers and hugs.

I am not a doctor so any suggestions,comments or advice are purely my own and should be considered as such.
