We could start a whole thread I think just of people who lived in a car at some point. I did for a short time, and I know some other folks around here who have. Lotsa gratitude for being past that way of life.

We could also prob'ly start a thread of people who were conceived in cars...

Don W · 10-10-2005, 11:08 PM

Right on Doug, I did for awhile. I think the worse part was realizing everything I owned also fit in the car. shestruggles, keep on hanging in there. There is a better life to be had. Don W

indigo · 10-11-2005, 03:00 AM

WOW you are an inspiration you are. Thank you.

Pepper38mint · 10-11-2005, 03:12 AM

Wow, a picture says a thousand words and your pictures tell the whole story. Congratulations on your sobriety!!!! You are gorgeous!!!!

shestruggles · 10-11-2005, 08:46 AM

Thanks for the replies all. I'm flattered by some of the comments, but I really just wanted to show my story, rather than type it out. I was amazed when I first scrolled down the photos.....

Anyone else interested in making a pictorial of thier journey. As peppermint said, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

BTW - It was a fab blue Chrysler K-car I spent the winter in...parked in my dealers driveway......

babeekj · 10-11-2005, 09:51 AM

You have came so far...I am sooo proud of you !!!! Knowing you and talking with you as I have I want you to know you are a precious addition to anyones life....I hope your hubby realizes how lucky he is to have you !! If not tell him to call me and I'll let him know

chris k · 10-11-2005, 04:34 PM
