Sue oh my I am so sorry about your kidney. What is going to happen? When do you find out?Is there someone to help you right now?I am sending so many hugs and wishes to you. You have many friends here and please reach out for support.


Thanks Melody. I hope to write a book and about this too. I know had to want recovery more then anything and be willing to do what ever it takes.You can't negotiate or do part of recovery. It is like you eating cake at every meal but not wanting to be diabetic. It doesn't work that way. You have to do things you don't want to to recover. I am sorry about your friend.You know I sometimes go back to the old place I was inpatient to help the other girls and share my recovery story. It is hard to watch but I know I can't change them they have to change themselves and face their feers.I can only support.As for the 1 sided friends. To me I would rather have 2 amazing friends then a bunch of crappy ones. Melody you seem like a care taker by nature.I hope you have good friends to support you too and your husband as well.I think it my age people think they are super heros and nothing can or will effect them. Many have been through very little. There crisis is breaking up with a boyfriend or having a bad hair day. Really. Until you experience true hard times you can't know or even imagine. I really treasue a feel good day. I used to not even care and when I look back at how destructive I was to myself it makes me so sad and scared. Your physical body and health is your tool for life without it little else as meaning.
Feel better all!
