About Me
I am self employed and really trying to learn how to be more independant. I have been married for 20 years and dated for 5 years prior. Before him, I was living with my Dad so being on my own is not something I welcome or am used to but something I had to do.
Interests
Reading, walking, movies, conversation

Support Groups
Close Breakups & Divorce
I left my husband of 20 years ago. The last 3 years of our marriage was the worst because that's when my kids turned 14 and 15. They had their own friends and needed me less. My husband was gone! I quit drinking 13 years ago. My husband continued drinking a 12 pack a day, 7 days a week.
Treatments
- Al-Anon Not Working
- Wasn't interested in learning on how to live with an alcoholic as I am a former one myself. Been there. Done that. Now it's HIS turn!
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- Husband denied having a drinking problem. Couldn't do marriage counseling without 1st admitting to being an alcoholic.
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- Went for therapy for 10 years and never mentioned my husband's drinking problem. Was put on 13 different anti-depressants none of which worked.
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- They all pretty much left me when I left my husband because they are all drinkers and don't know WHY I left my drinking husband.
- Support Groups Not Working
- One was of all people in their 50's-60's. I'm mid-40's. One had NO structure. One too religious for me.
- Time Not Working
- Divorced a year on 6/22/08.

Treatments
Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery
I've been a smoker since I was 13. I am not trying to quit today although I know I should.
Treatments
- Nicotine Patch Working / Worked
- I think it was mind over matter and I didn't really want to quit took off patch and smoked.
- Willpower Working / Worked
- The same as Cold Turkey to me. I KNOW I have willpower because I quit drinking with NO help. So why can't I quit this!? Get to the point where I can have one then 2 then the whole pack. Just like an alcoholic can't have One drink then 2...
