Morning, Dee!
There's not a damn thing wrong with asking for assistance. You have CP. You didn't ask for it and you can't control it. But you do have a beautiful, smart-as-a-whip mind and heart that has given much, has much to offer now and with even more in the future. You can only offer it if your life is bearable and you have your basic needs met. I'm sure there are resources to draw on where you live, i.e. CP associations, etc. That's why they're there.
If I could be forty again and have the ability to ask for help, I'd turn back the clock in a minute. My pride and ego got in the way for way too long.
Go for it. There just might be unexpected treasures along the way.
Hugs. :ghug3

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tints of the clouds of doubt
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Thinking of you... wishing I could change something, somehow.
I can't though.
I can care, send you love, hugs and prayers.
I cannot, however, send you a pizza. I'm trying to save money you know.
Keep posting about your feelings Dee. Even if it doesn't change anything on the outside, getting it out does change one on the inside.
Always here for you... I love ya :ghug3.

All I do is keep in contact with other addicts in recovery, post here, read NA Literature go to meetings and work the 12 steps, the spiritual part of the program thats what keeps me clean and somewhat saner
I also know that others get clean and stay clean in other ways, but i do believe that all recovery has some of the above elements in common especially a power great than ourselves.
Hang in there, your right it gets no better out there.
Hope today gets better for you.

Hi Dee,
I'm late to this party, and can't expound on the great things that have already been said, but wanted to add my support since you've always been so helpful to me. Hope you are feeling better soon!

So sorry that I missed this post-however so pleased that you reached out-
As others have stated so well in this thread-you are truly an amazing man and inspiring one too boot! Even this little codie has been blessed with words from you....the voice of reason for sure!
I have a friend with CP that is way more progressed than yours and I cannot even begin to relate to what you and he are going through-but I can relate to the depression that can kick in from everything crashing in on us all at once (Going through that being homeless & jobless right now myself as you know). I also have a severe back injury that restricts me sometimes for days with even being able to get out of bed. (Thank God not very often but depressing none the less)
So proud of you that you know drinking is not going to give you a solution to all of this....however you know that the acceptance of help right now is the choice. I know Anna had mentioned about seeking home care-it could be an option?
And yes kiss Ms. Dee and hug and let her understand that this shall pass....and pass her a slice of pizza too!
Keep reaching out Dee-The strength that you show is amazing-breathe, relax, live in the moment and the solution will come....
Love you mucho Aussie!

I have no clue what is possible in your country.
I live alone on U.S. Social Security
way below the proverty line.
My 1 bedroom apartment is for disabled low income people.
The rent is based on my income.
My utility bills are lower due to my disabilty.
I get Federal Food Stamps.
I depend on my friends for rides.
Heck! I can't drink ..too damned poor!
I'm sharing specifics hoping it will give you
ideas on some resources you can check out.
Prayers coming your way Dee...
