    • About Me

      I am happily married, have two kids, cats, and dogs. I love to garden, read, listen to music. I am the child of an alcoholic, who is not alive now. By the grace of God he did find sobriety and was i n AA for yrs. I've been affected by those with substance abuse problems most of my life, if not all, and by grace I am not an addict, but love many.

      I was the child of an alcoholic, have been affected by this disease as well as other addictions by other people in my life.

      Treatments

      Al-Anon Working / Worked
      Al-Anon was a life line for me in the 80s and after! I learned about alcoholism, my part in it, tools for healthy living even if someone else is not living that way. Met lots of good people who understood my pain. I have gone to meetings off and on since, and will always use the knowledge I learned.
      Patience Working / Worked
      Patience, I have acquired more over the yrs. I see the fruits later.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I have gone to counseling since the 80s and rarely go now, because I don' t need to. I will go if do need to. It was a lifeline, too. It was work, and well worth it! Hard to go at times, lots, but you have to make yourself. Just like going to an Al-Anon meeting, you feel better after and sometimes during. Sometimes you have to shop around for a counselor, but don't let that discourage you.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Yes, vent and listen to others and we all help each other stay on the right course! Need some guidelines sometimes in venting, so all can share and benefit the whole group.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I wrote a few journals in the 80s at a very hard time in my life and reread them yrs later. It was very interesting writing them and then reading them later. I threw them away when I felt I did not need them and they had helped enough. I did not want them to ever be found. That was just my thing. Some save them forever.
    • Close Fitness Goals
      Type: Maintain a workout schedule

      I've wanted to lose 10 lbs or more for prob 4 yrs now.

      Treatments

      Aerobics Working / Worked
      I do well with in home dvds, and I have an execise machine, so this worked, but using a dif dvd now, get bored, have to mix it up!
      South Beach Diet Somewhat Helpful
      Atkins was great for me, because portion sz is usually my problem. South Beach would have worked, but I was sick of Atkins, and they are very similar.
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I want to lose 15 lbs.

      Treatments

      Atkins Diet Working / Worked
      It worked yrs ago, but when you get sick of it, it's done. Don't want to eat that way again.
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      Portion control is my problem. Eating healthy is the way to go.
      Eat Less Working / Worked
      This is the key, but will power is hard, when I'm hungry!
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      This is always a must, for total health.
