A good point caroline
 

Good advise
One thing if I may

When involved
It was so much easier to go
With the mind set
Sitting and "just listening"
Is "Medicine" something my mind and body
needs
To get the support
You
Are not alone
I pray he finds his way
And gets bit by going to meetings
And listening
I am sure you know you may attend
an "open" meeting
Your heart in your hands
Caress your soul
Take care of you
So you can be there
Ready
To begin a new life

Love
Me

thank you eva. your kind words always give me some comfort during this painful time. i hope that letting you know i am here if you need to talk provides comfort to you during your painful time as well. love and hugs.

thank you caroline for your kindness too and your helpful advice. i have not tried the grape seed extract yet, but will definitely look into it. hugs to you too.

this is so hard. i cried all day yesterday worrying about my brother and today i just feel numb. he has cut off all contact with me, my family and his friends. it helps to talk to my friends here at NT. sorry for going on about this and thanks again for listening. i just need to talk sometimes.
p.s. thanks again for being my friends.

Talk away.

We are all here to listen and support each other through all of our ups and downs.

Sending hugs:hug::hug::hug:

Know
 

You already do
We need each other
You already do
Know it
Be well
It cannot be done
Other than
One day at a time
Amen
Love
Me

i don't know where my brother is or if he is okay. i am very worried about him but am trying to keep my faith in God that he is okay. i would welcome any and all prayers from my friends here at NT to help him find his way back home. thank you for listening.

Dear RSD ME
 

thanks so much for all of your prayers. the last time i heard from my brother was about a week ago. he texted me telling me he that no one cares about him and that he is going to disappear never to be seen again. i don't know where he is and haven't for the past few months. i keep trying to call him to tell him that i care but he won't answer my calls or texts. so here i wait hoping and praying that he is okay. it is a horrible feeling not knowing but i am trying to think positive thoughts with the help of my friends here at NT. thank you all again for your kindness, prayers and support. this is very hard and i wouldn't wish it on anyone. i hope i see him again and that he is happy and healthy like the brother i used to know. i hope you all have a peaceful night with sweet dreams.:grouphug:

I will keep you and your brother in my prayers RSD ME. One of the pages in our AL-Anon daily reader talks about wrapping our loved one in a blanket of their choice, a quilt, goose down comforter, or Indian blanket, and handing them over to the care of our higher power. I do find it comforting knowing he is caring for our loved ones. He is always there with them.

There are meetings for AA and Al-Anon on line at Stepchat.com. It is an excellent resource. There is also a chatroom where we share experience, strength and hope 24/7. I know for me having RSD can be so draining it is hard to get to a regular meeting. The Al-Anon literature is a daily part of my life, help is always available at my finger tips.

Take care of you RSD ME. We are the only ones who can take care of us.

peace
