passion2write's Journal

  Hi, my name is Lisa.  I am a mother of 3 beautiful children. My daughter, Meggan, 16. my son Brian, 12, & Joshua, 9.  I have been married to a wonderful man who supports me and is trying to learn all about addiction to support me. He is an amazing man and I feel bad because I don't think I measure up to the woman he needs. But, I was a Military Wife for 15 yrs. and now he is out of the Army and he is a FireFgihter and works part time at the National Guard. 

  I have been writing since I was 12, but I have never published any of my stories or kept them. I had such low self esteem and my parents always told me that my writing was a dream. I was to fat, stupid, & lazy to become a writer or anything. But, I am taking a writing course now and working on my first novel. I wrote some articles that I am trying to get published as well. I hope I will be a good writer. I was in a car accident back in July of 94. I almost died. They were very surprised that I lived. But, I was in the hospital for a week. For the first 3 days they wouldn't let me see my face cause I had severe cuts all over. After 3 days I saw my face & thought they would never go away, but most did. Some are still there but light. But anyway, I got 2 herniated disks in my low back and all the ones in my neck are herniated. I have a pinched nerve, scoliosis of the spine, and Fibromyalgia. I suffer so much pain and have been on opiates for 15 years. I became addicted to the pills and it got so out of hand that I ended up in a rehab. I was an alcoholic and abused cocaine as well. I will explain all that more later. It's nice to have a group like this. Take care & Happy Mother's Day to all you mommy's! Lisa~
