Hi everyone. Well I'm on # 13 & I'm thankful. I know that's not very many days but I appreciate them. Not to be dramatic but I really didn't think I was going to survive this last WD episode. I should have been in the hospital but I'm not working & no insurance. Still paying on my last hospital stay so I had to tough it out & fortunately made it. I so appreciate the support from you all on this board. By talking to you folks I didn't feel so alone. I'm doing ok except for the alcohol induced nerve damage. Over/counter meRAB aren't helping. Probably could go to the Doc. & get more Vicodin but holding off because I know I'll abuse them. I look at it this way...I'd rather deal w/ the pain than be intoxicated.It's time to grow up. CC & Secrets, how's things ?
I'm here to support anyone on this board if I can help in anyway...Mike
 
Hey Mike!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!! I am very HAPPY and PROUD!!! I know it has not been easy for you by any means but what an accomplishment for you!

I think that you have been very strong for yourself and I know from my own experience with you.. you have been very supportive to the rest of us so thank you for that.

Today I am still in a funk.... The cravings have not stopped... I do have a little different outlook though today.. More of a "what can I do?" feeling because I know I can't fall back... So it's like I am just dealing with it as opposed to feeling so angry about it... I don't know.. it's hard to explain... I have a lot of anxiety that I am trying to keep at bay.... I will be fine though.

I am worried though because CC has not been on at all today. I have been thinking of her non stop wondering if she just got busy or if things changed some how for her.... I don't know but I hope she logs on soon!

I hope that the rest of today is smooth sailing for you friend. Always remeraber.. you are not alone! I am here. :wave:
 
Mike....13 days is huge, and you sound so much better. You should be so proud of yourself, I sure am. One day at a time is the best any of us can do. Your in my thougths and prayers always!

Secrets & Crocheting, I'm so thankful for your support ! Secrets please stay strong. Those cravings can drive us crazy if we don't react positively. I'm doing ok except the cold. Because of the Neuropathy my hanRAB & feet are painful & cold. Now my furnace isn't working so they're frozen ! Done whining. Much rather deal w/ this than withdrawal. I hope & pray CC is ok. We all have to stick together. Love, Mike
 
Well, you hang in there!!! We ARE in this together!!!!

We can do this!!! Keep your chin up and I hope your pain gets better! STAY WARM! Lots of blankets!!!!
 
Thank you. I don't know about the food thing but right now I feel confident that I won't drink at least for today. Hope you've had a decent day. Mike
 
Hey again!

I will stay strong.. Today I will make it.. I will worry about the days to come when they are here!

I am so sorry to hear about your furnace!!! THAT IS NOT GOOD. Is there someone that you can call to get this fixed thru some state program or something since you are not currently employed.. I hate to think of anyone let alone someone I care for in a house with no heat!! It just breaks me heart!!! I am proud of you for having such a positive view of it....

I am glad that right now the alcohol cravings for you are at bay but it does concern me that you are struggling with the bulimia the way you are. You need to keep nourished if you are cold.. it can't help things if you are cold and your body is not getting any substance... I just worry and hope you are okay! You can whine all you want.. it's not whining when you are venting about real life problems.... remeraber that. We are here for you!
 
Hey Mike,

How are you doing today buddy? I have been thinking about you! Hope everything is going okay and that your furnace is working!!! Are you staying warm?

Just wondering how you were holdind up!!
Have a great day!
 
Thanks Carrara for asking ! I'm having kind of a rough day but I'll make it. Like a lot of people I get beat up w/ depression but as long as I don't use I'll get through it. I've always self medicated & of course just added to the problem. I'm hanging tough. Hope you have a great weekend. Mike

Mike,
I just wanted to say how much I admire your strength in all of the adversity you are dealing with. Your advice has meant the world to me, especially considering we are up against the same obstacle. I am terribly sorry to hear of your heat, and hope you have been able to rectify that situation. You are in my prayers... You are an inspiration to me! -m
 
Magdolene, Thank you so much for your kind worRAB. Having a hard time but hanging in there. I hope you're ok. Let's work on our issues together as well as the other good people on this board & maybe we can get through this. Please be strong. You're worth it ! Love, Mike
