Mother in hospital, trying to stay possitive
Ambulance took my mother (non-addict) to the ER yesterday afternoon, she's in a bad way in ICU now. Doctors now believe it's encephalitis and should have a better prognosis in a few days. :-( I've had a few times where it felt like I was going to pass-out, but I've fought through it.
Trying to stay strong, sober and hoping for the best.

(((Scolova))) - I'm so sorry about your mom, and am sending prayers. I've been through some pretty tough stuff in recovery, but I'm glad I held onto my recovery for dear life. I know SR and the great folks here have been a huge help to me when I feel like my life has turned upside down, and some f2f helps too.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

I am so sorry. Sending good thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
I will add you and your mom to the 3 prayer lists I belong to.
We are here 24/7 as you know, and remember we are walking with you in spirit.
Lots of love and bunches of hugs,

Just earlier she either; was heavily medicated or had very little neuro activity going on. :-(
Of course I'm hoping it's the pain meds and the antibiotics are working their magic (sure as heck hope so anyway) and I'll keep my faith in the hands of the lord and those doctors.
Hate to admit it, but I must. She was (partially) my enabler, allowing me to live almost rent free and get drunk when I wanted, without threat of throwing me out, because I helped her out with things around the house (things = not money). And boy have I taken advantage of that... Became a huge moocher\slacker
One thing is CERTAIN, my life will change when she is gone and not just in missing her, I could easily become homeless within a years reach.
<Breathe><Breathe><Breathe>
One day at a time... I'm gonna get some sleep.
P.S. a couple of her friends remarked that she had recently told them how she was proud of me giving up some 'things'.
