That is so true.
3:03 am

thanks you guys
4:33 am
sprite

I have been in a therapy group for over a year now, pug, that works a full day in the week. And from Sep 30 on, I will do a full day of therapy a week as well, on Mondays. It is not common, most therapies are like 45 minutes per session, once a week.
4:33 am
grannyrose

love to have your company pugs...* huge grin *
4:35 am

I was just wondering because all the ones you go to are all dayers
4:35 am

thank you Rose as I enjoy all of you guys
4:36 am
sprite

yes... true. Guess I am a tough cookie to crack. Did years and years of the normal kind of therapy as well. It is a long haul.
4:36 am
puglet

I was thinking afters several hours of drilling they would get you to crack--lol
4:37 am
puglet

How did you come upon this
4:37 am
sprite

hehehe indeed. I learned so much in this last year of therapy.
4:38 am
puglet

how long do you have to go to the monday ones now
4:38 am
sprite

my psychiatrist suggested it. It is a group run by her colleague, whom I knew as well. And my psych is supervising the whole thing.
4:39 am
sprite

as for the clinic I will be going to for the eating disorder, that was suggested to me by my doctor and after I checked it out, I asked my psychiatrist about it and she had good experiences with them.
4:39 am
puglet

is everyone in the group have the same problems as what you have
4:40 am
sprite

Don't know how long to the Monday one, we will see.
4:40 am
sprite

not the Friday group, pug, we all have different issues. But the Monday group will be all people with obesitas and eating disorders.
4:41 am
puglet

do YOU think you are ready to leave the friday group
4:42 am
sprite

yes. I would have to stop anyway, because the insurance only will pay for one year. But I am ready. Learned what I could there. Now I am ready for a new challenge.
4:44 am
puglet

I hope this monday group helps you then and lets you find the answers you are seaking
4:44 am
sprite

I hope so too, pug. Am pretty positive about it. They told me I was exactly in the right place, after hearing my story. That gives me confidence.
4:45 am
puglet

how many are in your group there
4:45 am
sprite

a maximum of 8, but probably 6.
4:46 am
puglet

all women?
4:46 am
sprite

I wouldn't have been able to start in this group if I hadn't had the experience of last year's group therapy. So it all fits together somehow.
4:46 am
sprite

I don't know, pug. Not necessarily.
4:48 am
puglet

Maybe you can make a friend there .Someone that you can each hold hands through the process

it is possible. We will see :) For starters I will keep a low profile and watch a lot. I need time to learn to trust others, so I will take that time to get settled.

I understand that totally---plus you get to travel too and that in its self is fun too
4:51 am

by bike and bus and train!

lol... it is taxing, but yes, in a way it is fun too. I am experiencing a sense of freedom that I haven't felt in ages.
4:51 am

while I can see holding back until you are confident of the group, it suprises me a bit to hear you say that, you are so open here sprite.
4:51 am
puglet

take the time to enjoy!
4:52 am
sprite

thanks joso, that is so good to hear. Yes, I appear very open. For me it is easier to trust people onlline than IRL, to be honest. But you guys have become my friends and I trust you a LOT.
4:52 am

its easier for me here cause you are not looking into anyones eyes
4:53 am

I understand, pug
4:54 am

you know Sprite I was on DS and looking at some of the different groups and there is one for internet addictions---lol--I didnt explore it though

I agree, joso. A very special community. Lots of people who truly care.

4:56 am
puglet

Ive been at other sites and the people can be very rude and uncouth
4:58 am
sprite

we have had a few people here who enjoyed unpleasant arguments and fights, but somehow they seem to fade away pretty soon. Babble as a whole is very kind and caring.
4:58 am

Joso you might like the site Daily Strength...it has a group for anything from A-Z---the dont give up group is very uplifting
4:58 am

it is a good one, isn't it pug? I like that group best of all.
4:59 am
puglet

I do too--and if not for you I wouldnt had known about it
4:59 am

as you say, sprite, on the whole kind and caring. but some of us have been deeply hurt and are still very angry by other babblers.
4:59 am

just coincidence... or Someone pointing me the right way, grin. Glad to share. Without you, I wouldn't even have known about DS!

5:02 am

very true, rose. Especially the whole JC/Nancyboy stuff has hurt people deeply. It is tough to be conned and lied to about such important things.
5:02 am

never thought about that, but it is true, joso.

what was the whole jc/nancyboy thing?
5:03 am

5:03 am

someone pretending several persons, one famous, one who supposedly got ill and died. Lots of drama. And it was all a fake.

5:07 am
puglet

same from me too ivesy
5:07 am
sprite

joso, I couldn't agree more. Must be a pretty pathetic and/or sick mindset that can think up stuff like that. The not-existing Nancyboy was mourned so much by us babblers. And it was not real. That hurts.
5:07 am
ivesy3

ty sprite! well son is a recovering drug addict.is doing well at this time. but its a struggle. and ty both. ! am waiting for email to complete registration.

awesome, ivesy. It is a good place to be, also very friendly and supportive.
Quite a struggle, for you and your son... is he managing? And are you?
5:09 am

they have a group for parents of drugs addicts too.
5:09 am
ivesy3

he is doing very well. but have been here bfor, where he stays clean, then falls . have heard all the promises.. im afraid i have lost the faith to belive him, though i do try.
5:10 am

I think too that they have prof. there too, dont they sprite
5:10 am
sprite

yes, groups are monitored by professionals in that field, they are listed at the right of the page.
5:11 am
joso

what a nightmare ivesy
5:11 am
sprite

I can imagine, ivesy. It is hard to keep believing if your faith ahs been crushed so many times. If he weren't your boy, you would never even consider believing him again. But since he is... you try. *hugs* Good for him that he is doing well so far. One day at a time, right?
5:13 am
puglet

I know all too well those feelings ivesy. Go through the same thing with my Hubby only his drug is booze
5:13 am
ivesy3

i will be looking at the drug support group for sure!no one can really help so to speak, but sharing with parents of drug addicts takes away the feeling of being alone in the fight
5:13 am
ivesy3

isnt easy pug, is it?
5:13 am
puglet

and the dont give up would help you ivesy for yourself
5:14 am
sprite

so true, ivesy. And it will give you a place to vent your pain and frustration, and know that the people reading it will truly understand.
5:14 am

pug, such a tough struggle :( *hugs*
5:14 am
puglet

no its not ivesy, if it werent for the one above I would of thrown in the towel many many times
5:14 am

booze is an evil drug. One of the worst addictions to overcome, or so they say.
5:16 am
puglet

its not just the booze but what all goes with it--the meanness and the money to pay lawyers and the list goes on and on
5:16 am

Ivesy, one important thing is not to let his addiction bring you down into that hell. And its easy to get caught up in that web
5:18 am

ivesy, I am glad he is living on his own. At least there is a door you can close and lock if you need some space for yourself.
5:22 am
Glantarell

ivesy - my cousin's daughter was a drug addict - they were told that she had to hit rock bottom before there was any chance of recovery - and that while they were 'helpinmg' her, they were inadvertently enabling her addiction. they eventually stopped helping her, she hit rock bottom, then they all worked to help and she is completely clean and has been for some years
5:22 am
puglet

thats great Giant
5:23 am
sprite

I have heard the same kind of story, Glant. Am so glad for your cousin and her daughter.
5:23 am
Glantarell

not that great - sadly the years of addiction have damaged her body, and she is terminally ill, - she will elave a ten yhear old boy to be cared for by others - she is only in her late 30s
5:23 am
ivesy3

oh i know i enabled him. because i always thought if i gave him things it would make him happy and he wouldnt use. took me a long time , and almost having a nervouse breakdown to smarten up. and that is a success story glant!! always happy to hear about an addict gone clean
5:24 am
sprite

omg Glant... so sorry. I guess it is slightly less awful than her dying an addict, but not by much. So sorry.
5:24 am

tough-love is hard to put to someone you love
5:25 am

5:25 am

ivesy, mothers do. I hope you don't blame yourself. To love them enough to hurt them is something so incredibly tough to learn.
5:25 am
puglet

ahh so sorry Giant--how sad--hugs
5:26 am
Glantarell

she was told about 4 years ago that there had been too much damage to her body to live long ar experience good health. Sadly, her mother died of lung cancer in January, and we doubt she will see the year out herself. Drugs are terrible thnings, and the people who puch them are worse.

yes glant.. they dont realize what the drugs do . so sorry to hear that. to this day i live with the fear that my son will overdose and i will find him dead. its never goes away. wow. i havent gotten all this out in so long !! ty
5:28 am
puglet

we are here for you ivesy anytime you need to vent
5:28 am
Glantarell

I am a great ebliever in the legalisation and state control of drugs. At least the drugs would be pure and people wouldn;t turn to crime to finance their habits, and maybe young ones would be less interested in trying things out. Also, there'd be no money to be made by criminasl
5:28 am
sprite

horrible, Glant. I can't do anything but pray for you all and send you lots of hugs. Yes, drugs pushers should be whipped, salted and shot.
5:28 am
sprite

ivesy, so glad you told us. Please vent whenever you need to, we will be here.
5:28 am
ivesy3

i know. and i thank all of you.
5:29 am
Glantarell

sadly, some of the drug pushers are addicts who can only finance their own addictions by selling to others - state drug provision would stop thta too
5:30 am
sprite

Glant, we have that here for soft drugs and it works. But a lot of pressure from other european countries to make soft drugs illegal again, alas. They think it promotes use. But I think it takes away a lot of the criminality and risk.
5:30 am

so much evil is done in this world for a purse of money

I also think many addicts - whatever their addiction - suffer from low self esteem. If we changed the education system to make life skills compulsory - especially parenting - we could learn to raise children with hih self esteem, who may not fall into addiction. Money manageent would be good, too!

I think I am a borderline addictive personality. I can live without alcohol for months, but if it is in the hosue, I have to drink it. The concept of a wine cellar is fine in the abstrac, but if I had one it would be empty before long!

Barking, some other dogs walked by our house. Now they're going back to sleep
10:21 am

There's a bunch of charities that do curb-side pick up here and every week one or another calls; so I always say yes I have something and I've been slowly decluttering for over a year now.
10:22 am
Scrabbler

Good for you, Nef. On Craiglist you can list "curb alert" too.
10:23 am

Our garage is wall-to-wall junk and he'd better get it out before the weather gets cold and we can park the cars inside overnight
10:23 am

I didn't see the volcano :(
10:23 am
Nef

I didn't know that, Scrabs. I don't use Craigslist often; but I will keep that in mind now
10:24 am
Scrabbler

TY, Annie.
10:25 am
Nef

bichon, we have 2 basement windows that open into the garage (and half the garage is also taken up by a handicap ramp; but that's another story). Whenever we parked the car(s) in the garage it would set off the CO alarms; so we haven't used the garage for cars for years.
10:26 am
Scrabbler

So you have to shovel and scrape ice in the winter--tough work.
10:26 am
Nef

I'm going to replace the windows with the glass blocks "one of these days" but always end up spending the money on something else.
10:27 am
MollyL

This may be a dumb question, but why not just close the basement windows?
10:27 am
bichon

I will not scrape ice off the windshields in the AM
10:27 am
Scrabbler

Scraping ice can be very tough.
10:28 am
bichon

Actually the reason the garage is full of junk is that I cleaned this summer before we had company and put the junk from the house into the garage. I suppose those boxes will make a reappearance
10:29 am
Nef

Molly, they are closed and we've tried sealing them various ways in the past but now I had a handyman who showed us the sills are shot; so the only answer is pulling them out and redoing the whole problem
10:30 am
MollyL

Oh, I get it now, Nef. Seems like an odd structural design. Hope you can get it fixed soon. Seems a shame to have a garage you can't use.
10:30 am
Nef

I don't mind scraping the ice off the windshield that much; we have BIG ice scrapers that work quite well
10:31 am
MollyL

I covet one of those expensive cars with remote start up that will defrost while you finish your coffee.
10:32 am
bichon

Weather's getting bad here, but the real rain won't come til this evening. It's over Scrabs now
10:32 am
Scrabbler

Yep, it started raining in the night and will continue all day. Flash flood warnings til 3pm.

The garage was added on a few years after the house was built; so the windows have built-in window wells and permanent covers over them too. The one(beyond the kitchen side door) isn't even noticeable; but the front one partially blocks the walk-in garage door and is a pain

More pudding like though.
4:27 pm
periwinkle

mmm, maybe not
4:27 pm
MollyL

Or a souffle.
4:28 pm
Nef

sounds interesting; I'm Googling it now
4:28 pm
stidgmere

Kind of like a souffle but with cornmeal. It is very soft and your comparison with pudding, Molly, is apt.
4:28 pm
MollyL

I love it when I'm apt.
4:28 pm
stidgmere

My husband finds cornbread too dry for his tastes but spoon bread is his favorite.
4:29 pm
Nef

it looks good; I'll have to talk DH in to making some (HE is the baker in this house!)
4:30 pm
MollyL

Depending on how you make it, cornbread can be dry. My recipe is pretty moist though.
4:31 pm
stidgmere

My recipe is moist, too, Molly but oh well. What he can't pile enough butter on is too dry.

8:23 pm

I speak spanish.. I don't know wahita
8:25 pm
stidmama

what type of music? if it's hip hop or something modern like that it might be a nonsense word. But out of context it's hard to tell. It is a name of middle eastern origin, though.
8:26 pm
penquis

dictionary...Wahita is a beautiful, confident man/woman who loves the wilderness and loves to be with her family at all times. Wahita loves to help people and loves animals, especially turtles. Wahita has a strong future ahead of her with great hope and will run into a large sum of money in the future.

but that word--ses--is a musical group of so many people. Or any group of that number

i don't think it's the same word....at least the dictionary doesn't think so....that word has an x in it....

I thought ses was another number, like sex--guess you're right--I should know sonnets--what's the first eight called?
10:01 pm
penquis

i have no idea....

enable says octave. duh. Also the ses variety can be a variant if the sex--so it's both.
