About Me
Lord, grant me the Serentiy to ACCEPT those things I cannot change, the COURAGE to change the things I can and the WISDOM to know the difference.

Close Codependency
My husband is a 12 year alcoholic in remission now for 2 years. Our 18 year old daughter is in intensive outpatient for cocaine. Addiction has a logn history on my husbands side. I am here to join and share what I have gone through. I think having to deal with this as a mother is much harder than as a wife .
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- They are my life line. The only arrogance I had to let go was the individuals in those meeting rooms weren't there to judge me but to show me I wasn't alone. I always encourage others to go to several meetings. They work if you work them.
- Celebrate Recovery Too Soon to Tell
- It's very different from Alanon but at this point I am not choosey.
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- As parents and partners this seems to help us to keep drawing the circle around the 2 of us. There are always issues we tend to forget the boundaries and they affect areas they shouldnt.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- You never realize the effects of stress until you seek help and realize the weight of the issues in your life. Never in my life was I going to be hleped by medicine. Not only is my focus back but my life is too.
- Pets Working / Worked
- We have 2 dogs and 4 cats and they are absolutely unconditional. There is no love like an animal.
- Reading Working / Worked
- I work the Alanon12 steps and do my readings faithfully. I try to do at least one bible study- I love Beth Moore studies. I tend to always return to anything. Psalms in the Bible and I love the story of David.
- Talking Working / Worked
- We had been in therapy since my husbands dry drunk stage and then found ourselves needing help when our daughter started to I guess go through senioritis. My husband and I still are unable to get on the same page as far as parenting. I parent out of fear he parents out of guilt of not being around. i am hoping there is a balance.
Close Migraine Headaches
To learn about what others do to ward off a migraine besides medicine. I have suffered since I was 16, have been a guinea pig more times than I care to count.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Very Dye senstive and MSG sensitive. I only eat if I can see a food label.
- Relpax Working / Worked
- My first choice. Always knocks it in an hour, gone in 2 and the rest of the day at least I can function
- Zomig Working / Worked
- 2nd choice to Relpax but take s alot longer to knock my headache
Open Anxiety
If I am going to search for answers. I have to be real about it all. I need to learn about anxiety and depression. Normalcy and balance in my life is something I strive for but I keep missing it.
Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Prayer is part of my everyday.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Amazing but I am only taking half of what prescribed.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- I was so over the top worried about weight loss that never realized anxiety was my weight issue. I actually lost weight as soon as I started taking it.
