I didn't think I would be writing here this soon!

God I really do have things to be thankful for.

People even the small triumphs are a GOOD THING LOL.
I made small steps this evening and thanks thelma for your support and prayers!!!

well heres what I did.I did it!!!

I had My husband watch out little girl. So I could go to a meeting to help me handle my sons problems.

I started to feel guilty because my husband didn't get much time to rest when came home and I almost backed out of my meeting, then she starting crying,
HOWEVER I pulled my thoughts together and said to my husband and my self I need this.

I got a little organized and made some surprises for my husband to use on our daughter.

At one point I thought o know he is going to call during my meeting than I said to my self I going to finish this meeting everything will be ok at home
and even came back home and told my husband I'm going to do it again next week and it won�t kill him he can handle it and it will get easyer.

GOOD FOR ME RIGHT
and I'm only on lesson 4 sounds like the lesson on being more assertive LOL.

And for more good news
I started to get anxious during the meeting so I started practicing my breathing and present here and now thoughs and worked on the flow well I made it and I'm proud and it went pretty good.

CONGRATULATIONS! It sounds like you are beginning the healthy road to recovery. I am so happy for you.

I used to have a problem with sitting in meetings and would also have to use my techniques, but what liberation when we realize we can sit through the meeting, listen to what is said, and leave not feeling anxious. How wonderful!! Congrats again and keep it up!!!!

Thanks/Peacewithin

WOW - hearing "your on the road to recovery"

You made me cry, darnit. lol I have had the family member drug problem, so I know what that is like. if you are doing this well only on #6, you are gonna shine pretty soon.

thelma and ChangingTimes07

thelma, I like offering my support it feels good to do something nice for someone else like it says on one of the lessons, it makes me feel better and gets me out of a low or anxious moment.

***** From the bottom of my heart thelma I feel for you.

Heavy stuff is not much fun it's just a part of life and some of us just have "more than the average bear" LOL

THE PHILOSPHY OF GEORGE CARLIN
" I went to the bookstore and ask the saleswomen,"where's the self-help section? She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose"

" If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap"

LOL

They say to smile or laugh helps build good endorphins in our brain and helps us to feel better so, try to get a laugh or a way to bring a smile to your self during those heavy times.

I'm searching out more than ever for those smiles and laughs.

My husband and I watch comedy TV more now and find jokes to tell each other or find joy in seeing our daughter smile.

Well I need to work on sleeping GOD BLESS everyone and "good night John boy" LOL
