I was thinking about you today Jen and I was thinking you aren't looking for attention you just need some compassion. I also think when you get some the hurting will stop.

hey Jen -

wow. this took some time to read.

Far as any chosen program of recovery goes - you've got the honesty part .. down.
dont know if that helps or anything ... just thought you'd want to know.

Jen, I'm glad that you posted. We were wondering how you were.

I know what it's like when you want to shut down. Please stay with us and be good to yourself.

Hi Jen, just wondering how your doing? I seen on the news last night that there was a tornado in your city. They didn't say if there was any power outages or anything. They showed someones car damaged with a tree on it.

hey yeah i re-read my post and think i worded it wrong too....i just wanted you to know we CAN indentify and you dont have to feel alone anymore. cutting or not (i know lots of people in AA who cut themselves and/or have various other disorders (annorexia, bullemia, etc) in addition to alcoholism/drug addiction.

i hope your okay...please post as we're not here to judge...only to help ourselves and in doing so to also help each other.

Keep up the honesty part Jen & keep posting.
What keeps me coming back is the wonderful people.

You WILL NOT be an outcast here.
Notice how a few have posted about SI?
I see that as love & telling you that you are not alone.
Because of your honesty, you have helped some other members share!!!
Now if that isn't beautiful!
Thinking about you today. ((((((((((Jen))))))))))

hey guys

I had a good day today ...thank god

better than the other days Ive been having so Im embracing it...

I went to work today for a meeting and I got my hair done that made me feel good... the girls at work were great to me

I learned from my boss that I will be going to Paris for extra training (this could not have come at a better time) I will make money to save up to move and I get some additional training for my career.... (plus I am taking a train to London while Im there to scout some job ops)

I work tomorrow as well so I will post once I get home

I had to SI a little when I got home... its just the feeling of dread once I walk in here I couldnt help it ... but I smiled today and meant it.... and that felt so good

Hi from Sunny UK

Hi Jen

How are you today??? It's good to see you're posting even on days that are more difficult than others.

I was also suddenly concerned that my offer of help may have made you uncomfortable as we can pretend to be anyone when online. For the sake of personal safety for yourself and for your peace of mind, when you get to the UK and you have an address, I will send you some proof of my identity and background so that when you do wish to meet up, you can be sure i'm actually who I say I am. You really don't need the added stress of worrying about personal safety. But my offer of help still stands. I'm no expert on substance abuse issues but I do genuinely care about people with problems. And I also know what it's like living in another country. It can be a bit lonely sometimes.

Anyway, I hope things are ok for you today. Keep posting......
Best wishes
ST

Jen,

Praying you have a second good day... For all the good you put out here, you deserve many more too.

Sounds like you're getting a new start with the upcoming move, job training, etc. I'm so glad for you! Maybe you won't feel so cooped up, so trapped in that rut you've been in, so stifled.

Take care of yourself...

Liz

Hi Jen, I'm so glad you checked in. You're in my prayers. You have so much going for you, not least being bright and articulate. Please know that. Don't let it be a burden, make it work for you and what you want.
