I guess that time helps to heal... but i don't believe we heal 100% there is always that void that can never be filled as the way things were before. she used to love that artist jewel. and every now and then i hear her misic at a store or someplace and it gets me teary eyed. her favorite song was silver springs by fleetwood mac.

ccgirl2 · 06-14-2008, 02:13 PM

Hi Mywife; I thought I'd posted here several days ago and when I came to check in I don't see my post. I'm so sorry about that. You and your family are still in my thoughts and I feel terrible that I didn't check sooner.

On a more positive note, you reminded my of the song "Silver Spring" I love that song and I just got an Ipod so I downloaded it. I'll think of greeneyes now when it comes on.

mywifeisatpeace · 06-15-2008, 06:38 PM

yeah i do remember you having posted something. i think it was accidently removed. thank you for remembering "Dawn" when you hear silver springs. that was her real name.:ghug2

YouveGotStyleKi · 07-08-2008, 06:55 AM

Hey brother. My heart goes out to you and your daughter. We're always here if you need support. Glad to see you're holding up better than I ever would.

tthank you very much. i still come here even though i don't really need to anymore. but i am glad that Dawn made a difference in at least 1 person that comes here. I hope she inspires others to try and keep clean for themselves and for their families. we went to the airport this past july 4 for fireworks... and it just wasn't the same without her there with us. but i know she was there in spirit.

ccgirl2 · 07-17-2008, 07:48 PM

Hey, I know you don't really need to come here anymore, but we like having you here. You know how deeply Dawn affected me. I'm going on 13 months clean soon and I think of her often.

mywifeisatpeace · 07-20-2008, 08:59 AM

i wish I were like Superman and could turn back time...

madd11matt · 10-18-2008, 11:15 PM

I have 62 days clean frome meth. I wish not using was my only issue this time. God, I wish not using was the only thing I had to deal with! I'm trying to move forward with my life, I am now realising that 20 something years of drug abuse screwes up more things than I ever realized. Everybody who knows me say's "oh my god!..you look great!", and thinks I have a grip on things...i'm working again, and seem to be doing well...and I am. I don't believe I am in danger of using any time soon, but I feel this impending (DOOM).I have sOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much trouble asking for help. Everybody wants to talk to me when I'm feeling on top of things, and I truly do believe that people realy do need me now(for the first time in years!), but when I start feeling down, it seems as though every body backs way off......even those at 12 step meetings. Maybe its just me...I do know I have allot of work ahead of me....VIVA LA EVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!! "No man knows how trully evil he is, untill he tries verry hard to be good"...C.S. Lewis

SlvrMag · 10-18-2008, 11:36 PM

Matt, I don't think people in the meetings are backing off, I have felt that way at times too. We will talk before the meeting tomorrow, ok? Hang in there!

SlvrMag · 10-18-2008, 11:37 PM

Keep posting here if it helps too. People do understand here!

joinedintime · 10-18-2008, 11:48 PM

madd11matt, Looks like you're new here at SR (Sober Recovery). This is a good place. Many people are going through what you're going through and many people have gone before you and tell you how it was and is for them.

You are not alone.

I never used Meth, but unfortunately I know a lot about it and it's damage. I lost a very close and trusted friend to it and have seen many others use.

You wish not using was your only issue but it's not. But don't underestimate how good not using really is. You have made a huge huge great step. Congratulations on 62 days! And congratulations on realizing that there is more to sobriety than not using.

Hang in there. You can do this. I have personally seen people successfully quit Meth. It didn't solve all their problems, but it got them to a point where they could work on their problems.

I hope you are still doing well. i haven't been on in a while. this upcoming friday will mark the 2 year anniversary of Dawns passing. time goes fast.at this time of the year i get a bit depressed. but i continue on for our daughter and my son. I will always love Dawn even though she had a ton of faults. she was a good person that was messed up at times. happy to see that her post is still here.

**Done_With_It** · 03-01-2009, 03:24 PM

How are you and your girls doing? We think of you all often.

I hope you are all doing okay at this time....

mywifeisatpeace · 03-02-2009, 01:39 PM

thanks. i have a son and a daughter although only the daughter is ours. my son was from a prior relationship. we are doing ok... still single , i'm ready to start dating again i think. nice picture there, thanks.

KITTYCAT12 · 03-05-2009, 04:39 AM

I too have alot going on at home too; divorce, custody battle, living back at my parents house being 30 years old having no job, and on top of that all being new in recovery. I have 3 months and sum days. But all in all the new recovery feels great; however everything else sucks. But we will get by one day at a time. We have too, or all will suck again. My deepest prayers and thoughts to you. Jillian

ccgirl · 03-06-2009, 01:27 PM

i remember you. thank you for not forgetting.

mywifeisatpeace · 03-10-2009, 08:47 PM

yesterday our daughter turned 7. she is sleeping now and as i look at her i can see her leg sticking out of the covers and she has these little flower tatoos,and these colored anklets and i think to my self, she is so Dawn. she has her mannerisims. she even had me put a temporary tatoo on her lower back , just like her mom.If anyone knows of the Harlock saga at the end when Harlock says,that a man lives through his son and his son afterward and that is a mans imortality.

mywifeisatpeace · 03-10-2009, 08:49 PM

i like to stare at my icon. htere are a few others that i like.

**Impurrfect** · 03-10-2009, 10:43 PM

I hope your daughter enjoyed her birthday. I think it's neat that she wanted a tatoo just like her mom's. My stepsister died in a car wreck when she was 18, and my niece Brit was only 1. Brit is the spitting image of her mom, and even acts just like her, even though she has no memory of her.

It's a comfort to me, to see a blend of Brit and her mom in this now 15-year-old girl.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy

mywifeisatpeace · 03-12-2009, 09:27 AM

thanks all. I am glad that I am not a drinker oranything like that. today i was laid off along with about half the people at the plant. from top to bottom. ah well at least i can collect till something good happens. sheesh. I guess I will ride my motorcycle alot this year.

**Impurrfect** · 03-12-2009, 09:51 AM

wow, I'm sorry. That's happening to a lot of people. I love your attitude, and envy you about the motorcycle

Hugs and prayers!

Amy
