Sorry
For not being a very supportive person lately, and for being all caught up in my own stuff.
It seems like all I have shared about lately is the illnesses in my family, but honestly that is all I can think about at this time.
I care about all of you and I will be more supportive when I can wrap my head around things a little more.

Suzette,
You are going through a lot right now. I'm just glad that you have time to check in. The main thing is for you to take care of yourself. Sometimes we have a lot to give and other times, we need to take what others so generously offer to us.

Apology accepted but in no way necessary. When we sign on here, we are usually in crisis. Some of us, and you are a prime example, evolve and use our recovery to become a source of inspiration for others.
My god, you have done that. And it may be less of how you handle the "ups" than your example of dealing with the "downs."
Godspeed to you and your family. They may not know how lucky they are. I have no doubt that you are giving strength and wisdom to all, as you have done for me. I can wait; they cannot.
You know where to find us. We ain't goin' anywhere. It is your turn to "lean."

Don't be sorry. Take care of yourself! Try to make sure you are getting to face to face recovery programs too! Too much of this online stuff is not good for recovery! Sometimes is can be like trading one addiction for another. Be careful! Work the steps with a sponsor and don't drink and you will be FINE!

Toomutch, no apology is necessary. Do what it is you need to do. My thoughts are with you. :ghug
Off topic (I'm sorry!), but in my opinion, ANYTHING can become a replacement addiction. One (group or the internet) is not any better than the other. Recovery is different for everybody. I happen to be someone who relies heavily upon SR for my recovery. Without it, no doubt I would be trashed right now. Thank you people of SR!

Thank you all for your support. It is such a blessing to have all of you. I have no desire to drink at this time, that would make things 10 X worse.
I will take my son back to the doc tomorrow at 1:45, and we all have anxiety over this . He is to the point where he can barely walk.
I think the stress from ll thats been going on has triggered my fibromyalgia, worsendnthe IBS. And once again shingles are popping up on my nose.
If you can please keep praying for our family.
By the way Grandma is doing better and is home with my mom now.
Hugs

Sending big hugs and prayers to you, your son and your grandma.
Don't every worry about coming here when you're struggling. Like was said above, you're showing what recovery is all about...ups, downs, reaching out when you need to, supporting when you can.
Please let us know what you find out at the doctor tomorrow.
Hugs and prayers!

Please don't be sorry. You've hit a run of difficult things in your life. You'll get back to giving support when you are able to do so. Right now, focus on your son and family and enjoy being supported by people who care about you.

So glad to hear about your grandma doing better. And please do keep us posted re your son.
As to the fibro: Oh yeah. Stress triggers flare ups. They do pass. Don't forget to take your vitamins and meds. Try to get some decent sleep. I know it's very hard to do now. I think I mentioned to you how a twenty minute walk outside in the sunlight followed by a nice soak in a warm tub really helps me. I got a new meditation CD yesterday and loaded onto my ipod. I think it helps.
You are a fabulous person. Your posts help me! If you need some one to talk to, PM me and I'll give you my super secret cell phone number. If nothing else, sometimes talking to some one with fibro helps. I'm in a bit of a flare up myself.
Much love to you,
Lenina
