greeneyes3902 · 02-26-2007, 10:16 AM

I just wanted to show how sobriety brings us from the gutter look to then way we want society sees us.I'm pretty proud of how far i've come.I'm pretty proud of the small amohnt of time that i have under my belt,but it seems like i keep getting one obstacle arfter another.I wanted to use so bad theother night it physically and mentally hurt! But that feeling did pass after a while and I kicked that devil right in his ass. Somedays i'm so scared and others i'm fine. I have a lot of issues at home that i can't get into at the moment but it's definatly testing my patience ya know.There's more to the story that i'd like to share but can't right now.Maybe another day.I can't fiqure out how to enlarge this pic maybe your computer can?

The pics resolution is so low, that enlarging it will just make it look fuzzy. I too only have a short time clean (5 months), and its hard to describe how good i feel these days. Going to the gym has helped a lot. I've lost a good 15 pounds since ive been clean.

You should be (and Im sure you are) proud of yourself!
Great job!

ccgirl · 02-26-2007, 02:39 PM

I dont' know what you looked like before, but you look great now!

Smyle · 02-27-2007, 08:11 AM

you look great honey.....and I am proud of you !!!!

I'm sorry to hear of Greeneyes passing this picture show so much happiness and life in her. I'm sure she will be missed.

jbit · 02-27-2007, 07:28 PM

How unfortunate. My prayers go out to her family.

mywifeisatpeace · 02-27-2007, 07:54 PM

at least she died at home instead of out on the streets. and our daughter slept with her last night. so at least if she had to die she died with her loved ones with her. and thank god that she died being a mother rather than not being there for our daughter. I will miss her always and it is hard to type when I can't see the keyboard because of teary eyes.

I am holding you close in thought. There is little else to say.

leeside · 02-27-2007, 11:52 PM

This really is a total bummer.

Ten Chips Down · 02-28-2007, 12:12 AM

It's a cold slap in the face of the hard reality of addiction at its worst outcome. Whew. I am suffering acutely right now. God I have weird feelings of regret, remorse, guilt, and sadness all combined.

And here i am supposed to be getting ready for bed. This was a bombshell.

i'm not really sure where i am mentally right now... but i am defiinitely learning--firsthand--of the fatal side of addiction.

Sucks.

angelgirl · 02-28-2007, 12:21 AM

I am so sorry for your loss mywife...

So hard,, such a loss...

You and your family will continue to be in our prayers,,,
and always remember we are here, in cyber world for you..

I'm very sorry, and my prayers, thoughts, and condolences go out to you, and your daughter.

She looks good in that picture, and had every reason to be proud of herself....

I am so sorry for your loss, she will be remembered by so many. ((..))

anvilhead · 02-28-2007, 10:16 AM

this gift we have of recovery is so fleeting and fragile.........the consequences of addiction are all too painful and real. in NA they speak of jails, institutions and death and far too often we say "but not me, that won't happen to me" - let us not take those guarantees lightly, let us instead stand firm in the midst of our recovery and hold fiercely to the promise of freedom from active addiction.

it doesn't have to be, but it so often is.......the addict lost. may greeneyes rest now, and may her family find peace.

teej · 02-28-2007, 10:21 AM

Rest in peace now sweet angel. You will be missed by so many.

leeside · 02-28-2007, 12:28 PM

It seems that feeling came back again, as it is a want to do, from time to time for a long while till it finally goes away for good and it got her.

I think she would have liked, by her post, to continue this thread for a while. Every time I read her post I understand what she was going through a little better.
