Shattered...thanks for your support and encouragement!

Suga...I didn't know the first few days home from the hospital were challenging. Good to know that. I don't feel so bad about myself now. Thank you!

Charly...I'm glad God is with me but I need to change my conception of God. Then we will
be closer. I also know from experience that even the most spiritual people sometimes
lose that connections or a period of time or feel that they do...but you are right on...God is always with all of us. Thanks!

Notalice...fantastic on 5 years sober! Wow! We are moving to Arizona and have lived there before and they have tons of A.A. And NA and we've been to meetings there before. We lived there for a few months and loved it but got a job in Nevada first and had to move. But I know whatcha mean....wherever I go...there I am. Appreciate your post!

Dark...thanks for being proud of me for going. It was really scary but I learned so much. This facility concentrated extensively with one on one individual therapy and med adjustments. I was a guinea pig but it was a safe place to be that and I am grateful for the experience. I also agree that a supportive family is necessary to my recovery as the family I have here now....though I love them....are completely toxic! Appreciate your post!

Genetic...yes my husband is diligently working on getting pain relief. I have made progress and took lots of notes. Thanks for posting!
