Good Morning Getno,

Glad you continue to check in. I mourn the disappearance of people who have been here and left. As someone else said, hopefully this means that they are doing well and no longer need the forum as badly as they did when they first started their recovery. Each time, though, when someone stops posting I feel as though I've lost a friend so I'm glad when each of you continues to check in even just to say hi.

Hope this day is good to you.

Peace,

Cat

That is definitely true Cat. I also feel as if I have lost a friend when a person that was very active in helping gradually fades away. In a good way though, each one will always have a special place in my heart for what they did. God puts us all in places and situations for a reason and we were all put here to help each other I believe. Even though we will all eventually go back to what we called our everyday lives (minus pills), the friendship that I gained here will never go away!! I love you guys for what you have done.

Hi my Souther Friend:

I had this girl-friend in AA and she talked about getting tough with her brain many times when she shared at meetings. The way she put in was

I have to get tough with my brain. It just thinks whatever it wants in spite of what I do. I don't have to go on thinking what my brain wants to think. I am not responsible for what thoughts come into my brain, but I AM RESPONSIBLE for the thoughts that I pet. When I get a craving to drink, I already have a plan in place to think of something else. I notice the thought then I will ACTIVELY think of good things that I do for myself.

,

I have had to do the same. I don't just mean that I will try to think of something, I WILL think about the time that I was sailing with my brother. I have the thought that I am going to use already planned and figured out so that when I get a craving, I have my mental medicine ready!

Thanks to you my Southern friend!!!!

That is a great idea that I have never heard. I will definitely start putting that into action becasue there is so much around me that reminds me of the pills and that just keeps the cravings coming. I hope you are doing good. Talk at ya later!!

Be Strong and God Bless,

Hi,

My cravings are less and less now. So happy about that. Home doesn't tempt me like it used to. I just think of other things when I do start thinking about those stupid pills. It does work.

Same here at work. I, also, changed the way I do things here at work. Instead of sitting at my desk I get up and walk around and talk with people. I used to just sit here and be high and do my work.

right now I'm thinking of pills because of something that went on but I'll get over it and deal with it a different way.

I'm glad my dealer friend is pissed at me so if I ever called her for pills she would never give me any. She thinks I was only her friend for pills (which was true) but I didn't want to tell her that so she hasn't even tried to call me. Good thing. Plus my other thing is my husband isn't working so I have no money to buy any. I'd rather spend the money at the casina if I had a choice between the two now. Before it would have been pills. Now I would spend my extra money at the casino if I could. lol

Talk to you later

**getnovrit** · 03-02-2010, 12:53 PM

Hello wonderful!!! I sure was sad for you while you were gone but there is always something positive to take from a negative situation. I am doing good - when I finally find a way to deal with all the temptation around me without it bothering me then I will be over the hump. Pretty rainy and dreary down South here but that is fixing to change for a while. I am ready for sunny days. I love to be out doing things instead of being couped up. I hope your family is doing ok but only time heals that kind of wound.

As far as you, I know you are doing good and I never had a doubt about it. You WERE my inspiration and I will always be greatful for that. You are a special person to me and i definitely won't forget it. I hope you have a good rest of the day and stay out of trouble. Talk to ya later.

Be Strong and God Bless,

Hello friend,

Sorry but I have been out of town for a few days and I got back late last night. I hope you got over your funk yesterday - I know you did!!! Well, i am doing ok, just fighting these tirals and tribulations of life and it seems to be getting the best of me lately. But, i know this to shall pass - just one minute at a time. Anyway, I hope you are doing good this morning and check in with me later if you can. Have a good day.

Start a new thread on the Need to Talk forum and ask for Robert 325 in your title. He is the forum expert on sub tapering. Good luck.

**dnkhris** · 04-09-2010, 05:44 PM

sorry Get havent checked my hotmail I will check it today

**jbchicken** · 04-13-2010, 03:52 PM

Hey Getn - didn't realize you had your own thread - will try to ck in on you here by subscribing

From one southerner to another - hang in there. With all the family drama, it certainly makes it easy to justify any cravings, whether you're talking about pills or ice cream. You've got the tools (The Word) to beat this and the desire to move forward. May you be strengthened and granted grace and mercy on your journey - Feats don't fail me now! (Little Feat, circa ~ 1973) One day at a time, my friend

**getnovrit** · 04-13-2010, 04:00 PM

Thanks JB - Little Feat was one of my favorite bands during my college days. They were before my time but man I loved them. Music has really gone by the wayside now.

Thanks for finding me here!!

**jbchicken** · 04-13-2010, 04:08 PM

I think I have most of their original albums. They were real popular when I was in school. Let those "feat" of faith carry some of these burdens. There are days I feel very burdened by the lack of control I have over so much of this stuff, until I remember the Cross. +. He endured much so we can carry through. You can do this 'thang'. Encourage your mom as much as you can. It may be necessary for her to move your sister out and keep the children until sis gets her head on straight. The tough decision by mom may be what it takes to get sis to open her eyes to the enormity of what's she's putting the family through. Keep strong, my friend. Those 'feat' of faith will carry you on this journey.

**getnovrit** · 04-13-2010, 04:18 PM

Thanks - You are an incredible person and a strong one at that. Hope all is well with your son right now.

**Melissa B** · 05-31-2010, 09:56 AM

Hey Getnovrit,

Been away for awhile doing some serious soul searching. Thought I'd stop by and check on you southern boy. I posted my updates on my thread. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Stop by and let me know how you are doing.

Peace
Melissa
