I bet your Mom is VERY proud of you for making it thru the night ... and you should be proud of yourself, too! After all, she might have helped BUT <u>you</u> did the work. YOU fought the urges, YOU reached out for help ... and all the while YOU were able to help other people. I wonder if you know how amazing and how strong you really are?

Probably not ... I'm (sadly) learning that fact from the wonderful people who share their inner thoughts on these forums. You see, I need to know how I can help MY daughter get better. I know there isn't a "cure" ... I know she will always have to fight the demons in her past ... I know she'll always have to fight the urge to SI to take the pain away. I know this and all the while, the thing I want most in the world is to ease some of that pain and some of those urges. I hope and pray your new Mom can figure out how to help you!

Congratulations for making it thru last night, Colleen! Bet you could give your Mom the greatest present ever if you can make it thru Christmas, too. I wish and pray you'll call her again if the cravings get too much for you to handle alone?
