All is well on the home-front. So much so that I feel like I probably shouldn't be here anymore. (Had a "friend" delete me and wonder if that's what she thinks too.) I know I don't contribute much but I hesitate to close my account because I want to know what's happening with my friends...rejoice with you in your successes and support you in your struggles. If you're reading and want to delete me because we don't correspond much, I understand.
Most days I don't feel like I'm "waiting for the other shoe to drop" any more. Trust is slowly regained and I'm doing my best to take one day at a time and appreciate the moment. R's health issues are being managed with medication, neither of us are abusing substances (other than me with my coffee) and our hopes and dreams appear to be aligned...today.
Life is not without it's challenges. Have had plumbing issues for almost a week (which are finally resolved) and I'm digging myself out of piles of laundry. I know that in the scheme of things, that's NOTHING, but you don't miss your water 'til it's gone!
I am thankful that I found this site last year when I did. It was the lowest point I've experienced in my life and I don't know what I would have done without the support I found here.






hey there - you delete me as your friend and you are sooooooo in trouble! i know you're not on here all the time for good reasons - and that makes me so proud of you - and honestly k...of him too. it's a 2 way street, takes 2 to tango....
i come here to visit with my friends and on those days when things are heavy for me, i jrnl them or communicate with people that can help life my spirits, give me perspective etc.
i don't contribute much to the boards mainly because that's not where i am right now & i try to stay positive when i do respond but there's alot of anger there. but ya know, it does help me gain perspective about how far i've come - how far you've come. what those stages are...which ones i lingered in for too long - which ones i tried to skip all together. it is a process. sometimes a long and hard one.
trust is the hardest to gain back once it's lost. but i feel that you & r, like L & me, we are trying to find that common ground again. i really think, despite all our issues, whatever they may be, that the thought - the reality - of being without the other one was too much. does that make sense? R & L both have issues - (shit, who doesn't?) and we have discussed some of the similarities...but they are trying to move thru them, past them, and part of the reason they are trying is because of us. neither one really wanted to lose us. and that says alot.
no matter what happens, i, like you, am so thankful i found this place last year. you, and a few others, were really such an intricate part of my "recovery"...i don't know what i'd have done without you! i love ya honey! sister of my heart....
