Nowhere else to turn......... Hey all, its been a long time since I have been here. I have been so self absorbed and lonely. Insurance doesnt pay for counseling, so I guess this is where I need to start asking for help living my life without drugs. Pain killers, benzo's, marijuana, and cocaine are my doc's.
I am a wife and mother who has been lost for many years, and cant let go of my dysfuctional childhood, so I can take care of myself and my family. I have fibromyalgia, and many injuries from a car accident, so pain is a daily struggle.
My biggest weakness is being so darn self absorbed. everything is about me me me. I cant live like this anymore. any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

Hi Tangerine,
Welcome!
I held onto the pain from my childhood for a very long time too. And, all it did was to prevent me from living my life. You can begin to move forward by starting to really love yourself.
I also have fibromyalgia and the chronic pain was one of the things that led me to self-medicate with alcohol. For me, life is so very much better now. You can find lots of support here.

I'm so glad you made it back. We had become friends and all of a sudden you disappeared. I've had some trouble with my address book in my email so I couldn't get in touch with you. As soon as I submit this, I'm gonna send you a PM with my email address again, just in case you lost it.
I just celebrated 3 years a few weeks ago and we share a great deal of issues so if this dope fiend can do it, you can too! Like Chiy said, meetings are free and to be honest with you, I have found more answers, hope, suggestions, people who relate, understanding, . . . in NA/AA than I did in counseling.
Stick around, Keep it Simple, One Day at A Time and count the Blessings that you have, not the one's you don't.
Love ya girl,
Judy

You're doing great just by reaching out again! Keep on the forums, re-commit yourself continuously to sobriety...go to some meetings if you can...you CAN get through this! Sounds like you have some really good friends here already!
