I Ran

Take care of yourself!

I wish you the very best of luck in your struggle, Honey.

you are a winner--you are aware and willing to admit to your problem--that's the main part of the battle--a battle you are winning. Blessings on all you do.

wow honey you did the first part and keep it up

Give yourself a hug. You have gotten the first hurdle crossed. Admitted you had a problem. The second hurdle is harder, fighting that demon that pulls at you . We all have them in different areas.
Good luck to you and your future sucess stories.

Just keep fighting to get drug free....for yourself and your family.

thanks for sharing.

Kati, you hang in there girl....I know exactly what you are going through. Get into a treatment center asap! Do it for yourself and then for your family! My prayers girl...I know it's tough but you can do it!

You can do it! Anything is possible...once you put your mind and heart into it.

Kati, I don't know you, but am wishing and hoping and praying for the best for you. Good luck.

Don't give up! Keep trying I know you can beat this!

Thanks for posting to Point Taken.

You can do it!

Please do not give up. You can beat this!

Dear Kati, Raine Carosin here. I have survived and so can you. Only you can do it and you can do it to the best of your ability. No one else can do this for you, but we can all rally around you, supporting you and helping you up if you fall. This is why life is sometimes referred to as a race: some of us have completed one race and getting ready for the next one with our goal posts in site, but in the while we are waiting, we can encourage those who are in other races. You can win your race against addiction. I did and so did many of those on the sidelines, rooting for you. I am sure that most of us will tell you that it was entirely up to ourselves to say NO, even when we were being ridiculed and laughed at for refusing. Most of us ran away from temptation. I have become so strong that I am able to be in the same room with people smoking and drinking, and even offering the odd toke, but I am not tempted. I have built up my resistance over the years and have seen how stupid I was to give in just to be in a false state of "euphoria" or to satisfy the "need", or be "in" with the crowds. I mainly stay away from such crowds, but I know if I have to socialise, I can say my NO and mean it. Yup, we gotta run away, but let's run towards the goalposts that declare us the winners in our own minds. It is a wonderful feeling to overcome a habit. Admittedly, it is hard to get it out of one's system, but once it is out for good, you can smile and give yourself that hug every day and night, knowing that you have said NO once more, even if you have to say NO every second of the first day. It gets easier. You're welcome to browse my name to have a look at my art and poetry on the web. I, as well as all others, encourage you to carry on. The various races in life are run by many and won by few, yet all who run are not running to the same timer. You have your own time. It is your own life. You run the best you can and give yourself the best you can.

I am sadened to read this my friend. You must take care of yourself. I hope you will fight the demons, it may take time but you must fight, you can do it, just "Never give up."

Oh, Honey, my heart aches for you...please please go into rehab and do what you can before this destroys you and your life. You can't do it on your own, you know that. You have done this before and you beat it... you can beat it again...

When the stresses of life gets to us, we find it hard to cope...and many tend to self medicate... this is why so many turn to alcohol or drugs or food to numb us and take us away... it can be such an uncontrollable feeling and it's a battle... Alcoholism drug addiction and weight struggles have a lot in common.... Others judge, we judge ourselves and we give up... alcohol takes away the emotional pain as does drugs and even food.... don't give up... just get yourself where you can get help...

So many people love you and are trying to be supportive, realize you are worth it... you are not a lesser person because of your addiction problems.. this also is part of it.... if you don't believe you are worth something, worth saving, it stops you from fighting ... fight for your family, your life and your future... you can do this, I know you can

It's a vicious cycle you feel bad, you use to feel better, then you feel bad because you used, let people down, let yourself down, or people judged you, then you use to feel better again... an awful vicious circle.

You know God loves you. He loves you just the way you are. He knows we all have a sin nature, he knows we all fall down... you are not the only one who falls down, we all do... Jesus died for you, he died for all and he died for each one of us.... and he died for you. If you were worth Jesus dying for you, then you must have great value in God's eyes. No matter what your thoughts tell you, no matter what people around you tell you, you are not Garbage. God doesn't make garbage, remember that. We all are tempted, we all fall and we all need to get back up and keep going...

There is something more in your life ahead, all this is holding you back from it... please please go get into rehab again where you can't be let out until you are clean, do it for you, do it for your family and do it so you can get past this. You are in my prayers and on my prayer list...

I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope you are able to find the help and strength you need. I will keep you in my prayers.
