About Me
I'm married with one son still at home from my second marriage. I have a daughter who is married and I have one grandchild. I was a partying person in the 70's when I was a teenager, tried just about everything atleast once. Smoked pot for years but finally gave that up too. I don't drink or do drugs, nor am I on medication. I do smoke cigerettes though and would really like to stop. I am a fan of 'Days Of Our Lives' and even post on several message boards. I still enjoy classic rock,

I can't believe I've made it this far. I have every reason I can use to smoke, drink, and do drugs and I choose not to do any.

Support Groups
Close Depression
I've had major tragedies in my life. Lost my older brother in a fire when I was 17. Lost a son to a drunk driver in 96. Lost a stepbrother to murder/suicide, a house fire where we lost everything including pets. I've been married three times to people that have some form of mental illness. The first two went off the deepend when I separated and the first two were mentally and emotionally abusive and became physical in the end. I just found out last week that my husband is doing meth.
Treatments
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- It's the only way i can cope with crisis' in my life.
Close Families & Friends Of Addicts
I just found out 2 wks ago that my husband has been using meth. I suspected he was until I found the foil in the dryer with burnt marks on it. He is still at home and has not had done any in over two weeks. He says he was medicating his self because the antidepressants the doctors have prescibed don't work. I told him he has no choice but to see a mental health specialist to get on the right medication or I'm done.
Open Bereavement
I lost my son Ronnie to a drunk driver 11 yrs ago this past Oct. I somehow survived those first few years and actually am doing ok now. I know now that I've been through the grieving process, learned to let the pain and anger go for my own sake. It's what he would have wanted for me. I do miss him very much.
Treatments
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- I started gardening. Spent alot of time planting flowers etc. and watching new life begin. It was very theraputic for me.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I felt like I had to let my emotions out. I just couldn't hold it in. Even for anyone that didn't know what to say, a hug was all I needed. It made me feel not so alone.
Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery
Treatments
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- This is another attempt to quit but I believe this time is different. I know I can't have even on cig. One other time I made it to six months and I am almost there again now. Woo hoo!
Open Breakups & Divorce
my divorce should be final in about two weeks. We are still under the same roof until I can buy him out. I hate to be at home. I just want it over.
