    About Me

    I work for a large greenhouse/distribution center. I am a Customs & Compliance superviser. I love my job - but my job has taken over my life. I got married in Sept of 2007 - and have gained 2 step daughters. Before this I was a single mom to my wonderful 9 year old son. We all have a strong love for animals - and Finally after 35 years - I found great happiness.

    • Close Panic Attacks

      My Panic attacks occur when I am at my highest level of stress, I get myself all worked up cant breathe, I cant stop them myself, but I get a dizzy spell that over comes me and I black out for a minute. Once this is over I can gradually start to breathe again.

    • Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      I have smoked for 25 years. I hate it but cant stop. For me its a reliever of stress and panic attacks that I am trying to over come. Its how I break from work, or my family. I have tried many things to quit and nothing works. The patch the pills the gum nothing takes away the craving. More than me wanting to quit my family wants me to quit. This is my biggest concern as it is. It will kill me and hurt my family so much more.
