I wonder
I wonder
I ran into my youngest "A" today at
the store, he was buying beer and looked
like a million dollars. Big red saucer
eyes and he spent his whole paycheck
partying-hmmm, looks like he might be
homeless. I asked about his brother,
and he said they had been together but
he didn't know where he went. So here
I am just wondering where in the hell is
this guy. I have not talked to him or
seen him, (my kids don't come around in
their condition), but they do when they
are O.K. No news is good news, right?
If this phone rings, I'm going to fly
through the roof!
I'm gonna focus on topping M.G.'s pretzel
right now, I'll think of something.

Josie,
Take a hot bath and try to relax. My doctor said I have muscle damage. mmm...I wonder how that happened.
I really tried to focus on other things yesterday when I was so worried. It helps to do anything to get your mind off of it, because worry doesn't help us at all and can't change anything. Maybe we should have worry shifts and give each other worry breaks.
We can list all or our concerns and one person can sit and stare at them and worry. Then we could take a break.
Try to rest,
Hugs,
MG

This worry business is no good, and
I know better than to let this get me
down. My body feels like I've been hit
by a freight train. I'm going to bed
now and hopefully catch up on some zzzzzzzzzz.
Hugs and prayers,

You guys are scaring me with these cluster crises. Dino has been so good lately I was getting all relaxed. Now when the phone rings my shoulders go into my ears.
No news IS good news, Josie!

Cluster crisis's...LOL!
Josie...you are inspiring!
....and the story continues...last nite Beav called and he was at his IOP (Intensive Outpatient) and he needed a ride to a friends who was going to to take him to another rehab...I did it. Be part of the solution..right?
I got to meet his councellor and The Beav was sober and looked good.
The problem??? Ward lost it...he is in protective mode and after watching me fall apart he thinks I am losing my mind...one day up the next down.
And the hits just keep on comin'
One funny thing...as Ward was blowing off steam he said.."So when you are down on the ground and someone keeps hitting you in the head YOU just keep going back for more." and I said "No...I get a helmit..."

Hi Josie
Like Smoke, I am not in crisis at this specific moment, but tending the wounded helps me remember to keep my recovery first and foremost. I haven't done the "pretzel dance" lately, but know the steps.
Thank God we have each other and a place to vent, cry, share and laugh. That IS recovery.
Cluster crisis indeed! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> My heart goes out to each of you. And we can just cluster care and recover together.
And JT - Ward sounds like my George, they care as much as we do, only they have to deal with both the addict and the codependent, and they get sad, angry and tired too. There is probably a whole new name for what they go through. I bet Smoke could think up a good name for their group. .
Hugs

I'm up eating milk and cookies, (I really
am). I'm going back to bed and watch
Martha Stewart at 8, Judge Judy at 9,
and by then I should be passed out again.
I made a committment to no longer burden
my family with my worries, and I'm so
thankful I found this site-thanks
everyone!
J.T., poor Ward, men have no clue how
to deal with this, I think he's doing
a good job. Maybe he needs a helmet too?
Hugs and prayers
