Topic: RE: Motrin/Advil
I have taken prescription strength Ibuprofen occassionally, but only for a short amount of time. I also would take an antacid/stomach med while taking it to buffer the effects on the pouch. I have had extreme arthritis pain, and also have had ulcers. It's a crap shoot.
Be sure to drink tons of water while going through this time. Also, watch your salt intake.

Hey Stranger....
I'm going through some pretty bad things so I popped over to remind me that even I have things to be grateful for.
Thanks! :-)

Topic: RE: 60 days of sobriety
Keep going to meetings. I have been in AA for over 19 years, and was able to put together two decent stretches between drinks, once over 8 years, and once over 6 years. This past 18 months have been awful, because I have tried and failed many times to get more than 3 months. I am in outpatient treatment, since October.
Thanks for the encouragement. I am grateful to have the 60 days.
Hugs,
Trish

WAY TO GO PATRICIA!!!!!! 
60 days is a big deal....recognizing that sneaking ******* "addiction" that live in our heads, is even more of an accomplishment. Keep learning and remember "To Thine Own Self Be True!"
Congrats! Peace~ Eileen
PS I am 18 years with out a drink but feel like a newbie once again as it has only been 6 months since I put down the food addiction. This one is a toughie!

Topic: 60 days of sobriety
I went to my AA meeting this morning and picked up my 2 month coin. I have 60 days of sobriety yesterday. I had it in March, but messed things up going to the ER in March, and getting pain meds when I was not really in pain. I was hooked to them, after some surgery I had in February.
Thought I would share.

Topic: ~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
05/22 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
When I first listened to people in The Program talking freely and honestly about themselves, I was stunned. Their stories of their own addictive escapades, of their own secret fears, and of their own gnawing loneliness were literally mind-blowing for me. I discovered -- and hardly dared believe it at first -- that I'm not alone. I'm not all that different from eveybody else and, in fact, we're all very much the same. I began to sense that I do belong somewhere, and my loneliness began to leave me. DO I TRY TO GIVE TO OTHERS WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN FREELY TO ME?
TODAY I PRAY
May I begin to see, as the life stories of my friends in The Program unfold for me, that our similarities are far more startling than our differences. As I listen to their accounts of addiction and recovery, may I experience often that small shock of recognition, a "hey-that's-me!" feeling that is quick to chase away my separateness. May I become a wholehearted member of the group, giving and taking in equal parts.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Sameness, not differences.

Good Morning OH'ers.. It's Friday! !
Today I am grateful..
That I was a strong man last night.. Day five down..
For the weekend with the family..
For talks that make you think..
That I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and even if it is a train I am going to win..
For all the men and women that gave their lives so I could post this.. I am blessed to live in a great country.. God Bless the USA..
SONG OF THE WEEK..
GOD BLESS THE USA BY LEE GREENWOOD..
If tomorrow all the things were gone
. . I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
. . with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars
. . to be livin' here today.
Cause the flag still stands for freedom
. . And they can't take that away.
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up
. . next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
From the lakes of Minnesota
... To the hills of Tennessee
... Across the plains of Texas
... From sea to shining sea
... From Detroit down to Houston
... And New York to LA
Well there's pride in every American heart
And its time we stand and say..
That I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up . . next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up . . next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA!

Topic: RE: Adderal XR
Yes I had my surgery in 2003. Since then I have had a total body lift AND another baby...LOL...yes i need meds. The Dr. changed me to Ritalin 5 mg yesterday-i can't even tell i took anything. I will take this until i go back to dr next week. I think the Adderall works best , i just need the non xr, more thruout the day, my body absorb and puts the XR right out. The same way, before i quit drinking a couple years ago, i would get drunk, sober up , get drunk, sober up....usually before anyone else was getting started good. I do not drink anymore. Definitely NOT GOOD POST bypass-you just wait to get bad reports on your liver.
