    About Me

    Hi, It's great to be back in touch with you guy's on DS. After a very looong and trying year last year, I am finally in a good space. Staying sober is my first priority, but for me I needed to do a lot of work to get to the core issues. I have done every program under the sun, read every self help book out there, went to counciling, meetings, groups, and sought as many spiritual advisers that I could find, but the answers, for me, were right under my nose. They are all within me. As soon as I changed my belief system... I changed my thoughts....which changed my whole life. I have a freedom today that I though I would never find. A peace of mind that I am soo greatful for. I needed to go straight to hell before I started to climb back up and I am on my way. Thanks to a great group of wonderful, and compassionate friends. I am enjoying every minuet of this new found peace and I hope you find it too.

    Interests

    Being the bst mom I can be. I love gardening and being outdoors. I love to read, and I enjoy quiet, one on one meaningful conversation.

    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      Hi, I am 46 years old and have been a smoker since I was a teen. I REALLY feel it now and i'm having such a hard time doing the things I used to do like working out or working hard in the garden all day. I HATE smoking,but i'm also an alcoholic and when I stopped drinking my direction went towards smoking. I smoke way too much now and feel soo crappy all the time but I can't seem to quit. I have an 11 year old son that is so upset with me because I won't quit, and that breaks my heart...Help!

      Treatments
