  • Still Shaky w/ Abstinence

    Sunday, April 6, 2008

    I know what I'm doing is not good for my body? Why haven't I been able to stop? My emotions don't seem to be the culprit. Getting obsessed over the tiniest things seems to be a trigger. Shopping is a trigger. I have to be more aware of negative self talk. It could be as little as "I am taking too long completing this goal". Actually, that's a very common comment I make t...

    Sometimes I ask myself why did they choose me? Why was I the target of all of the sexual abuse? How can a parent and grandparent find a 6 month old little girl sexually arousing? Why couldn't my father meet his sexual needs by having sex with his wife? Why couldn't my mother meet her sexual needs by having sex with her husband? Did they find each other unattractive enough that they had to...

  • My Heinze

    Sunday, March 22, 2009 | A Painful story

    My Heinze is dying.  He has been having little strokes or seizures.
    The vet says it is sometimes hard to tell the difference - they have been coming more often and Thursday night was the worst one.  He's having trouble walking and he is not eating at all today - he won't even eat liverwurst or bacon.  
    I am praynig so hard but hes not going to get better - he's almost 14 ...

  • Shadow on the wall/ Breaking thru

    Thursday, April 30, 2009 | A Painful story

    Is that my shadow on the wall?
    Or is that really me at all.
    I struggle so to see the truth---
    In bygone days and loss of youth.
    I write with ink upon the page,
    And see such sadness and such rage.
    I don't know what to tackle here---
    To stand up tall
    Or disappear.
    Is that me, still insecure,
    Wondering what I can endure?
    Is there hope for what is yet to be?
    Will I ever be content with me.
    I' m not a numb...

  • CALAMARI & PIZZA...GREEK STYLE

    Thursday, April 9, 2009 | A Venting story

    Today is Holy Thursday, and Samantha gets off school @12pm for Easter/Spring break; she'll be home 'til the 20th.
    Dammit I feel like crap, and I've got to snap out of it so I can have some quality time with Samantha while she's off. I'm tired of her seeing me so negative and full of gloom & doom all the time as I continue to physically & emotionally shrink. I don't ...

  • How is this possible?

    Sunday, August 31, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    Ok so my dad had a perforated ulcer and he was in the hospital for 3 weeks and 4 days.  He's been home for about a week and a half now.  He usually weighs 210 lbs, but he lost a lot of weight in the hospital.  Yesterday he weighed 180 lbs.  Today he weighs 174 lbs!  How is that possible!?!?  He's been eating sooo much.  For lunch he's eating 2 sandwi...

                        Do you know what it's like to watch you kill yourself night after night,and not be able to do a thing about it? You stumble around with exhaustion from 11 hrs a day in the scortching heat and come home and mix it with 2-4 Scotches a night, stumbeling to bed  when y...

  • Miserable

    Saturday, June 14, 2008 | A Sad story

    My diet isn't going good.  I keep eating sugary cereal.  My parents and I are having major money problems.  I'm getting so depressed and I don't even wanna talk to my best friends.  Money ruins everything.  I hurt my ass so I can't ride my bike in the morning which really sucks and I can barely exercise.  I don't even wanna look at the scale. ...
