  • Something is wrong.

    Thursday, May 1, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    OK this is the third time in a few weeks that I have gotten sick to my stomach. I don't think it's the flu. I went out one night, ate mexican seafood and drank a wine that I have never heard of. I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...

  • God Why me

    Wednesday, August 13, 2008 | A Call For Help story

     I just sat here and wrote a journal of a very painful situation I am going through and then it just disappeared.
    I am in so much pain I cant even find the strength to do this again. 
    I hate pain and betrayal.  Just when I think that I'm turning the corner, I get kicked in the teeth again.

  • my heart

    Tuesday, September 23, 2008

    my heart is resting in my Lords hands. The struggles are too much for me to hold. He greatfuly holds me when I am unable to hold myself.
    Yesterday was the first day that just did not want dialysis. Feelings of wanting to be with the Lord ran through my thoughts, so Him holding me is wonderful.
    With Jamie and Steve both having cancer it is very consuming of my prayers and thoughts. Jamie should know...

    Tuesday, January 13, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    I've been in and out of recovery for years now. I won't go into details but let me just say that I'm usually "out" of recovery. I have a routine. I have some really important reasons that I NEED a drink. I don't have enough medication for my back and I'm in pain, I'm depressed, I have anxiety, I even have reasons that are more positive like, "it's Saturd...

    Hi there

  • I just need to take some time off...

    Wednesday, April 1, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    The last few month for me has not been easy for me. I quit drinking on 3-27-09 and have not drank anything since then. I have had thoughts of hurting myself but I know that is not the way out. I have a loving husband and wounderful son that I love so very much. The thought of loosing both of them would tear me to pieces. With me no longer drinking is putting so many emotional feeling through my h...
