I AM LAYING IT ALL OUT THERE!!!

Hi Karen, Thanks for your support and I will be praying for your sister as well. adrienne

Adrianne, There are lots of us out there that are willing to share the good stuff but it takes courage and strength to share the difficult things in our lives. I want to personally thank you because I know that someone somewhere needed to see your post and will get help because you opened your heart and soal for us all to learn and benefit from. God has watched out for you and got you to a place where you can get help. I thank him for that because the last thing your children need is to loose their mom. God is good and will hold your hand while you take this journey to recovery. If you ever need an friend, and I truly mean that, please call upon me. Others have halped me in the past I would love to help you now. Huggs and support, Tanya 355/325/185/150

Thank you so much Tanya, I really appreciate your kind words and your support. Adrienne

Dear Adrienne, I'm in tears as I write this to you. Not because I'm sad but because I'm so proud of you. You found the strength to face and take your addiction head-on. That takes a very special and courageous person. I know another courageous person who also had to take his addiction head-on. My husband used drugs and alcohol before I met him. He has been clean for 13 years, now. So, now I know 2 incredibly brave people! Please know that we are always here for you, and you can tell us anything. We will give you all of the support you need, always! I'm sending you a big hug. You take care of yourself and your beautiful children. xoxoxo Jane

Hi Jane, Thank you so much for all of your support and kind words. It means so much to have the support of such a huge amount of people that I do not personally know. Congrats to your husband on his continued Sobriety. Adrienne

Adrienne...I soooo commend you on your incredible bravery and IMMENSE strength. What a strong lady you are. I'm so happy that you sought and found the help that you needed and that you're running the race to win! It's sooo easy to as you mentioned drop one addication and pick up another...especially with our compulsion to overdo everything. Anyway...just wanted to let you know that your post has both touched and inspired me. You're awesome! Paula Lap RNY 10/14/03 362/197/
