My anonymity is important in the real world because my husband runs a business in
A very small town.
After all have seen this who are in our room now...I will ask Deb or To NA to delete.
Hugs.....jc..

I am so proud of you!! I know how hard that is to say because....My name is Jenna, and I'm an alcoholic. I completely understand where you are coming from. I never wanted to turn to medications either, and here I am, like you, medicated every day!

I only outed myself JC to let you know that you are not alone!

Gentle hugs,
Jenna

Think I'd caught that, hun....wink wink
Hugs.....jc..

You are a wonderful person. Many times it is those in the most pain...any sort...that self medicate. This doesn't make you any less good. You are very strong to have beaten it. I'm proud of you and I still love ya!

I am proud of you and to call you a friend . You have so much courage and strength. You and Jen have beaten something so strong you should be proud of yourselves.

I tend to think of it that now you have slayed the beast that you only had a problem with it. No longer addicted or holiced.

What you say to me stays with me, it's a trust and honor thing with me my friend.

God bless you.

jc..you wonderful nut...........you continue to impress me and make me ever more proud to call you
friend.
how frightening a step it must have been for you.......back to the meds.
regardless of which side of "right" you knew your self to be............to step back into the jaws of a
beast you had defeated(nice nice work that).......because of another over which you have no controll.
well...............big brass ones .that's what you've got Lady.............that ...and the fact that i am on a list of folks
you feel confident enough in(in friendship and trust) to spread this out here..........i'm humbled.
i'm happy.....and i'm grateful.
i'm grateful to the LORD for you....for your prints in the dust..your presence on the planet.
i'm grateful to you......for your friendship...........and the very special ride that THAT is.
thanks jc.....................you rock Lady
i loveya.
PEACE.................................t

JC.....(((((((Jan))))))). I love your strength, I admire your courage, I'm honored to be your friend. I'm so very proud of you.

Honey you can delete your own thread whenever your ready.

Much love!
Deb

See why I asked if you were sure?! Love ya!

Tonna

JC you are amazing, never let anyone tell you different. To me, it shows just how strong and capable a person you are. If anyone tells you different, then they are truly not your friend. Proven by all the supportive posts to your very important message, you are truly blessed with friends.

Angel

and your friends are truly blessed with you.
comin and goin...blessings all around.
i love sweetass shit like this...............:):)
PEACE

I know a lot of people who have pain and decided they were addicts when they needed more meds to control their pain. The world will easily agree with them.
So, I wonder what makes you think you are an addict.

Thanks

Sunnyb,
That is the truth that I am trying to tell you here.
Before the chronic pain, many years ago..I used drugs. All drugs..in every way.
Please reread my post.
I hope you won't think less of me, but understand if you do.
Hugs n luv.....jc..

As a writer what I feel about this post should be pouring out of me so easily. And yet I sit here fighting back tears at your strength and courage and I just don't know what to say.

I've only known you a short time and for the entirety of that time you have struck me as compassionate, tenacious, giving, audacious... I could go on but I feel like I'm gushing now... And you have a wicked sense of humor despite what you have overcome in the past and are going through now.

And for the record you aren't alone. My name is Becky and for years I was a drug addict. That particular horror I have beaten but I remain addicted to self harm in what feels like an inescapable trap.

Chick.... You inspire me and many others. I hope you know that.

For anyone who wants to know, JC explained to me how she decided.
She is strong, brave and the very light to women everywhere who stuggle with this issue.

God bless you JC. Keep up with one day at a time.
Sunny

Oh, you guys...I just posted this silly bummer thing on other board...to come here and see all your wonderful selves here....
You have lifted me.....thank you.
Thank you.....jc..
