About Me
I am a chronic pain patient and blessed with ADHD and some dyslexia. I'm a member of Celebrate Recovery, it is helping me to cope with the physical pain by teaching me to lift my eyes off of me and onto God and others. Unfortunately, my social and physical activities are significantly limited now and I'm trying to find a way to start a business out of my home. I refuse to give up as my back is against the wall but my faith keeps me going. All of you out there are important and I admire your courage and treasure your camaraderie. I am a follower of Jesus and hoping to increase my inner peace. One day I'm going to travel on one long extended vacation and visit churches, get saturated in the love of Jesus. I need to refresh my soul in the River of Life again.

I'm an adult ADHD inattentive type who is creative, intelligent and sometimes misunderstood. I am gifted in the arts. A mild dyslexic.
Treatments

- This began to cause jitteriness and blood sugar crashes and extreme sensitivity to caffeine and irritability. It worked great for a couple of years. I was hospitalized recently. My heart is fine. The Provigil was causing erratic heart beats and I thought I was having a heart attack. Since I discontinued using it I have'nt had a single incident with my heart.

Open Codependency
Hi fellow CR sojourners! This is great to find you here at DS! I am Paul, a grateful believer, who is currently overcoming rejection and abandonment and chronic pain and I am the grandson of 2 alcoholics. I attend CR faithfully and am working through a step study. I just finished making amends with my Dad who is almost 80. I just was ejected from a marriage 2 months ago. I used to work in the film and theatre world and also made a living as an artist before a car wreck...not my fault. Peace.
