Just needed to step back for a week or so and collect myself.
I'm amazed at all the newbies I see on board.
I'm thankful that you've decided to reach out and find soberrecovery.

I know your going to find all the support, prayers, and love you need
to help get you started on a good recovery path. A path to wellness
and strength, while dealing with a loved one's addiction.
I love these people. They have kept me grounded and given me the
strength to realize...
1. I didn't cause it.
2. I can't control it.
3. I can't cure it.
What a tremendous load off my mind and heart.
I hope those of you that are at the end of your rope with your loved one,
decides it's time to say NO MORE and begin your journey of renewal.
Your gonna feel so much better for it.
And no, I'm not part of a cult. roflmao

Everything's going fine in my world, friends.
Had a minor screw up with my 'puter, but all is back to normal.
My webkinz are still in tact and have recently been joined by a newbie.
An elephant I named Spike. All is right in the Webkinz World. lol
My son continues to talk with a therapist and new doctor who has changed his meds, (took away the ativan. of course he was pi**ed) and upped his
dose of Lithium. We shall see the outcome.
I have been doing alot of reading on the subject of bi-polar and have come
to the conclusion....
we're all bipolar. The whole stinkin' world. lol
Sorry. It's just how I feel today.
I now have to get my tail into a shower, get to work, and read storytime to
children and their daddies. Where would we be without these yearly distractions of celebration? Alot richer, I suppose. But also bored silly.
So....
I shall leave you with this and be back as soon as I can....

Replace your fears with faith. And then Let Go.

Love to all,
Linda

You mean we all have an evil twin?

I guess mine would be devilish Diane...(do I sound like a boiled egg, or what?)

(nevermind...THAT would be deviled, wouldn't it?)



Hugs to you Books...

Nice to see you here today Linda.
I am not bipolar, but the manic highs would be a hoot once in a while.
I say that tongue-in -cheek.

Good to see you! I don't know about the whole world being bipolar, but I swear most of the world is either an addict or affected by an addict!

So, the world is full of bipolars, A's, and codies "Normal" people are now "abnormal" to me. I'm not complaining, though...wouldn't have "met" everyone here if it wasn't for addiction and codie stuff and THAT would be a bad thing!

Hugs and prayers!

Thanks for sharing, book. I always appreciate your view on things, and thanks especially for your sense of humor.

Hey there Linda...good to hear from you, my friend!

Not sure about the bipolar thing, but sometimes I do feel possessed!!!

Well my AD just also got diagnosed (supposedly) with bipolar according to her creepy bf. funny, she is still active/smoking crack, and I'm sure that has NOTHING to do with her mood swings....
I'm also in recovery, and lately every single addict who shows up in our NA meetings is recently diagnosed with bipolar. It's either highly contagious and we all better watch out, or there is something wrong with all these psychiatrists who can't tell the difference between drug addiction and bipolar disorder (at least wait until they are clean for a year before making such sweeping judgements that will follow them for life, and putting them on heavy duty psych meds) . Just my 2 cents. thanks for letting me vent on your thread!
