Penny for your thoughts part 69 - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Jewelz · 08-07-2008, 07:18 PM

Wow we are already at part 69 can you believe it. Here is where we share our ups or downs, silly things to the most heart tugging moments of our lives. We share a common bond.... addiction whether are are recovering addicts or affected because our loves ones are addicts but we are here for one another and anyone is welcome to join in on our friendship.

A Special Bond
by Rae Scales

Even though we have never met,
I feel a bond between us.
A bond that should have taken years to build,
Yet was built in a month or two.
A bond that lifelong friends should have,
Although most never do.
A bond that I am glad to share with you...
My Friend and Confidant.

You are not here in body and soul,
But as a lighted rectangle.
You come to me every day as
A message on my screen,
A message that I can rely on
To cheer me up and make my day.
Through a keyboard we share
Our ups and downs.

I have opened my inner self to you,
And you have to me as well.
We have traded secrets and laughs,
As well as sorrows and pain.
I have never met you, but feel as if
I have known you most of my life.
To most this might sound silly,
But I assure them, it is not.

How is everybody? Yesterday was my limit on worrying about the hospital stuff.
Today I just hope they keep him long enough to take care of his several health issues and how to find his own clothes!

**Impurrfect** · 08-08-2008, 07:03 AM

Happy Birthday Cindi!!!

I'm cruising SR before I send the computer off. I really wish they could fix it LOCALLY, but at least it's on the warranty now. I certainly hope they get it right this time, since it's been less than a month from the last time they fixed it!

cinderellawkids · 08-08-2008, 07:04 AM

im having a rough feeling self pity day. No real reason, course no money, and little gas and food helps fuel it on. Oh and no cell phone.....

and then AHs boss called and said, didnt get paid on such and such job so dont come in today and Ill pay you for thursday next week, WTF, that changed our whole evening plans

Now ah is off on my bday, Im working and we are broke. SO backwards of fair and then idiot AH is crusing the house looking for change to buy a bottle...I guess his way of dealing

**MsPINKAcres** · 08-08-2008, 07:34 AM

Cindi - hate it is that way - sending out thoughts that maybe your boss will take you to lunch?

Today is also Jace's bday too - He's 1.

Tomorrow is his bday party - so far everything seems to be going well with Ashley - she appears to be doing well with the program. So I am going to the party, helping out with the supplies and plan to also help out with setting up and cleaning up afterwards. I also will park my vehicle where if things change I can leave.

Hopefully I'll have more pictures to share with all of you of those wonderful ReeRee grandbabies!!

cinderellawkids · 08-08-2008, 07:38 AM

congrats to Jace.

Naa boss is away in court till 1. Im whining to my mom who said her pay wont clear to Monday

Jewelz · 08-08-2008, 09:03 AM

Okay several days ago I said I was going to make a list of the things I would like to accomplish well I have yet to make it. I am going to start now on here..

I want to pay my debt
I want a new living room set and bedroom set for my daughter
I would like to paint my living room... make my apartment a home
Get my notary license
Get my drivers license
Get a car

what do you think?

**MsPINKAcres** · 08-08-2008, 09:14 AM

I'm a notary - I think it is different in NY than in LA to get a notary license - cause we are still under "Napolianic" law - but it is a very good thing to have. Good luck to you, Jewelz -
Also, fixing up your apt to make it look like a home is a great moral booster - even if it is just rearranging the furniture a little, cleaning & sprucing up a bit - it also gives you a bit of the healthy environment feeling - When I first start the program and wanted to get healthy stuff going in my house and was broker than broke - I printed out copies of the Serenity prayer, 12 steps, Our Father, etc. and got cheap frames from garage sales to put on the wall. Also took white christmas lights & put in a basket with potpurri (sp??) to brighten the house, plus it smelled nice. (and I had all the supplies - NO extra cost)

cinderellawkids · 08-08-2008, 10:04 AM

I had my notary seal but was tired of people asking me to notarize things free so I let it expire.

went to mall used gift card and good good smelling body lotions and mandarin body spray,a dn a hair clip. Co worker bought me a gift candle with my name. So deak and I smell good and hair looks pretty. I feel better already.

House decor always help, sp does good smells.

AH was moody and 55 cents short of his bottle when I called. Then tole me to do my job and stop bothering him... Its going to be a focus on me weekend I can tell. I may spend lots of time at the park, with kids and a journal

cinderellawkids · 08-08-2008, 10:16 AM

Wow, slow today.

Hello everyone!!!!!

**MsPINKAcres** · 08-08-2008, 10:28 AM

I'm here - just ran out real quick to pick up some school supplies for Lexi that was on sale at Walgreens, ran to the Border thru the drive thru at Baco Tell to pick up lunch - now I'm munching on a Nacho Cheese Chalupa, with a Double Decker Taco

While at Walgreens - picked up a couple of extra poster boards for the HUGS women's retreat - we are going to decorate the cabin with Mardi Gras stuff Purple, Gold & Green Beads; cups, dabloons, etc. then make posters "Recovery the Best Party I've ever been to" I think it will be fun - I'm even thinking if I can - maybe making a King Cake (no big surprise tho - I don't eat King Cake)

cinderellawkids · 08-08-2008, 10:48 AM

Be proud Rita.

Ah just called. His boss is like 7 miles from our house with his money. He expected me to leave work, pick him up, take him to get it and come back to work. I said NO. Hes trying to find someone to bring him here to pick up my truck, Im arguing no, but he'll do whatever, hopefully noone would bring him in the freaking rain.

im so dreading this weekend, and I hate his attitude.

**MsPINKAcres** · 08-08-2008, 11:06 AM

I hate it when they get so focus on one thing that NOTHING else matters and they have NO thought or consideration for anyone else.

Prayers for you Cindi!!

oops - I think I just had a relapse - I was wondering if I could search & find out stuff about voodoo and animal control - maybe have Cindi's animals corner AH in a closet and make him stay there until he just went to sleep and left you alone for the entire weekend.

Ok - here I go again
Step 1 - Admitted I am powerless
lol
