  • New Goal

    Sunday, March 9, 2008 | A Positive story

    Ive not thought about relationships for a long time. I have not been well enough. But now things are changing in my life. I miss that bond I suppose. I have to learn to see the good things about me, to see this fabled inner beauty we hear so much about. I need to learn to believe in myself. I need to stop thinking that im unloveable because im unwell.
    Its going to be difficult but hey! My last l...

    It was my birthday on the 22nd!
    Yey!
    It was a saturday and I was having a good day energy wise. Im so pleased I was able to enjoy it properly, unlike some years. We went to my favourite shop where they sell every crystal you could imagine, every book on the spiritual you could want and so many other lovely things! I was able to get some books I had been searching for (Shamanic way of the bee, Al...

  • Update on my progress to reach my goals

    Sunday, May 25, 2008 | A Positive story

    I officially passed my driving test on May 20th of this year and that is much of my goal.  The rest is moving,  getting transpotation,  a job,  and starting over with paying old bills - a fresh start with a new life on my own.  I have every hope and will do the rest of what I have to making sure that if anything happens I will be taken care of and will be able to leave my...

  • Things are slowly falling into place!

    Saturday, June 7, 2008 | A Positive story

    Well someone called about one of the things that I have for sale and I am happy.  I'll probably have to run the add for 3 more days - should have done that in the first place.  I am going to hand a huge sign on my Handicapped Parking sign annoucing a moving sale,  etc.  A lot of people drive by and hopefully someone will stop in and see what I have to sell.  ...

  • WOW 15 YEARS

    Friday, July 25, 2008 | A Positive story

    Wow, today my wife and I have been married for 15 years. Dont think they have been the best of times, because we have had more than our share of problems. Most of which was caused by my addiction to meth. We were seperated (not legally) for over 7 years, but remained in constant contact due to our 2 children. In Jan of this year we reconciled and set aside our differences. Now I am proud to say w...

  • I'm finally out of the hospital and hopefully mending,

    Tuesday, September 23, 2008 | A Positive story

    Well I'm home from my second home and not as scared as I was because it's making me more scared to go into the hospital.  Every time I go in there I don't know what's going to happen next!!  I'm definately not going to the same doctor again.  2 times he almost did me in because of his incompitence and it's over.  He took the foley out for six hours the ...

  • Feeling better today and I hope it continues!!!

    Wednesday, September 24, 2008 | A Positive story

    Well I had the morphine pump filled today and I am still sore but not as bad as last night.  I have some stuff going on but I finally got off my duff around 5:00 today.  I really felt like sleeping more than going to the doc.  I am so excited about getting the PerMobile and the SUV.  It is proving hard to save the money for the SUV but I will do it.  I have to buy ea...

  • A little better each day

    Thursday, October 2, 2008 | A Positive story

    With each neb treatment and each steamy shower I am getting a little better each day.  The coughing fits are pretty much gone and I am slowly getting better WITHOUT being in the hospital.  I think my lung doc it probably going to be mad at me because if he hears anything in my lungs he throws me in the hospital and 1 month in that place along with almost dying and  picking up an ad...

  • I have made some new friends on DS.  I decided to check into all the physical problems that I have listed for me a found a large array of people in different kinds of situations.  One is a nurse,  one is a woman who lost her son at the age of 2 from Addison's (remember God only takes the good people and sometimes they are too young to speak for themselves),  one is having ...
