hey, popping in. - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

namommy · 09-22-2007, 07:06 AM

I don't get many chances to come on anymore. so I had a quick opportunity this morning and took it.

We are in the apartment and getting used to it. I have been sick however. We don't know what is wrong. I finally told my doctor I am not letting anyone blow me off, I am going to keep coming in until we find out why I feel the way I do. Some days, I can't get out of bed. Standing in church, I broke out into a sweat and felt dizzy. There are a whole list of symptoms, so my doctor did a whole list of blood work, and now I just have to wait for the results.

Steve is having no luck finding a job. He's been turned down for so many jobs. One told him he's too qualified to stock shelves. I don't get it. places want to hire hard workers, they see someone who sticks with his last job for over 10 years, and they won't hire him. It's frustrating.

My daughter started shooting heroine, but she now has 10 days clean again. She got her drivers license yesterday, so I don't expect that to last very long.

Tons of stuff going on, not enough time to post.

Good to be back. I want to read some other threads.

Hi Laurie,

You go girl, and fine out what is the problem with your health. I know it's hard when you have kind of general/common symptoms, but you know you're not well, so stick with it.

I'm sorry about Steve. Has he considered omitting some of his experience from his resume? I have heard of people doing that when they were told they were too experienced for a particular job.

Shooting heroin sounds so scary to me and I so hope your daughter begins to find her way.

It's good to see you, Laurie. I hope you get some answers about your health, and I, too, hope your daughters is able to stay clean. Hugs.

Laurie.... with all you've been through girl, your body may well be asking for a break. I pray it is "only" stress. ((hugs))

Tell Steve to keep paddlin'... the right job is out there, it is already determined, all he has to do is fill out applications until he finds it.

I am sorry about your daughter, but admire your strength and serenity. ((hugs))

You are always in my prayers.

Good to see you back sis, keep on pushing your doctor, to get to the bottom of it....could it be stress or early menopause? I also hope that your daughter stays clean. Be safe and send Steve my positive thoughts.
