Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I found this wonderful email sitting in the eradicators buddies group. is congradulating Ron on his 25 years sober, and tells about her pre-immunics and immunics experiences. Wonderful . Love Ron, Congratulations. Hearing that is very inspiring. I deeply admire your strength, determination , honesty and openness Ron what's the best advice you have for others facing addictions? what do you feel helped you the most? How do you think you would have utilized immunics back then, had you known?I quit smoking in 1998, before I knew immunics or Reiki or anything, but I used to tell myself like a mantra that " everyday would get easier " . And it did. I guess that like the AA's one day at a time? One other thing that helped was that I had areas where I didn't smoke, so when I was in those areas I found after the first couple of days that I could be there and not crave a cigarette.So it would afford me a break from the constant craving. I had smoked since age 15, at the time I quit at age 40 and 1/2 I smoked at least a pack a day(that's only 20 " only " cigarettes) I had/have quite a gift of creating Virtual Realities for myself, like smoke can't hurt me...funny how we can " kid " ourselves into believing whatever it is we need to, to continue on with our addictions. Sadly smoking was not the only battle I had or should say have, As they say once an addict always a recovering addict. NO I have not gone to any AA meetings or NA meetings. I'm currently in treatment for nerve damage to my chest wall when a 3 inch piece of suture material and numerous titanium clips were left behind after a bilateral mastectomy (for breast cancer) and immediate placement of tissue expanders for future reconstruction . I had surgery every month after that, until finally in an emergency surgery because I was septic, in a different hospital and a different doctor, who instead of patching me up went ahead and removed the reconstruction and debrided the tissue below and in the process came upon a absec deep in the chest surrounding that suture material and clips. I've been in pain and kind of not feeling well ever since, Until I found Immunics. Now I have to say my pain level is greatly reduced, the infusion I have every 21 days is not making me as ill as I was, and I can see a time when I will be well again. This is the work I needed to find and do and so I understand now more of what purpose there was in my being ill for so long. Ihave used that time to study. Somthing I'd always done but now I had 24hours a day, all mine to study... well I " ve rambled and I test that this was somthing I needed to say, though heaven knows why! thank you Ron. . sincerely in bc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
