Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Dave I am sorry you are feeling so bad...You are right about the symptoms being the same..That's like when we had the mosquito problem here and they carried that disease...They were the same symptoms we already suffer with so I would not have known if I had it or not...I think it's just that dragon trying to get your spirits down when you are so close to finishing your TX..Don't let it get you ok...We are all here for you giving you that little extra push...Keep in touch but maybe you should go get checked out if this keeps on ok...Let us know how you are doing and you are also in my thoughts...I just think you may have gotten overheated!!!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 I imagine so, I have some chicken noodle soup, a remote and an easy chair waiting for me. I have a couple of good days and I forget that I am still sick. I have noticed a much greater susceptibility to colds, sinus infections, etc. I should say that, I mention that anthrax stuff, just because it's so prominant in the news. I imagine I am probably more likely to walk out the door and be struck by lighting than that I get anthrax. The media gives us a disproportionate view of things. Example, I read today that more people are killed annually by donkeys than by plane crashes! An odd comparison, but still it makes a point. -dz- --- diane214@... wrote: > -dz- > Just rest....

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Hi Dave, Have the custodian put the cardboard likeness in your work chair, eat your chicken soup, rest, and get well.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Hey I live in the country..You never know when one may pop up..Kristy was asking about the nuclear war last night..She said "Mom we could be dead in minutes" I told her "Honey when you put your pants on in the morning you may fall and break your neck and also be killed in seconds"..What I was trying to explain and did was that we have no control over what may happen to us in this war so there is no reason to worry over something we can not stop....I do worry but I told her it's not lie i can jump up and stop the bomb if it's coming..to just live life the best you can..pray for peace.and love one another..I don't know if I done right but I tried...Maybe I was wrong in saying it that way...Any words of wisdom Dave.I need them...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 I can remember an ex brother-in-law telling his son.."Do as I say not as I do".....I have tried in my PAST to tell my kids the same thing..I was very calm when Kristy and I spoke yesterday and told her there are things one can not have any control over so we can not worry...If we coud fix it then we could worry about it...That's how I look at many things in life...Even though my past still comes back to haunt me I have no control over it..I can't let it bother me and that damn devil tries to get me alot of times...Dave how many times since you have been sober have you just threw up your hands and said "Oh hell why stop?" but you didn't drink? I know I have done it plenty of times with drugs...That I do have control over but what I have done in my past is just that my past...Sorry to ramble on today.Just have alot on my mind..Maybe i just need some warming.....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 That's a tough one. You know your daughter better than anyone else. I think whatever you say needs to be tailored to her feelings and fears. I have done much as you have, kids understand more than we give them credit for. I think the most important thing is to show them that you are not afraid. They learn more from the way we run our life than the words we say. -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > Hey I live in the country..You never know when one > may pop up..Kristy was > asking about the nuclear war last night..She said > " Mom we could be dead in > minutes " I told her " Honey when you put your pants > on in the morning you may > fall and break your neck and also be killed in > seconds " ..What I was trying to > explain and did was that we have no control over > what may happen to us in > this war so there is no reason to worry over > something we can not stop....I > do worry but I told her it's not lie i can jump up > and stop the bomb if it's > coming..to just live life the best you can..pray for > peace.and love one > another..I don't know if I done right but I > tried...Maybe I was wrong in > saying it that way...Any words of wisdom Dave.I need > them... > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Did yu see the show 28 days??

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Hi DZ I think that the anthrax threat might be somewhat serious, but the media is making it sound much worse than it really is. I tend to believe some of what they report, and try not to let it worry me. We all have other things that are more important to worry about. Hope that you get to feeling better soon.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 My parents tried that one with me too, regarding smoking. It didn't work, I smoked for 30 years. I haven't used that one on my son. One thing I swore I would never do too, is to say " because I said so " , but I have caught myself doing that, now I know how frustrating it can be to deal with kids " why, why, why " .

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 I went through many of those feelings in my first year of sobriety. I would feel very good about myself not using for so long and then I would sink into these dark moods where I would think I was just kidding myself and life wasn't getting any better. These moods passed more quickly and came less frequently as time progressed. I kept it in my head what my counselor told me " Quit drinking for one year and if your life has not gotten any better go ahead and go back to it. " Somehow I managed to hang on. -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: I can't let > it bother me and that damn devil tries to get me > alot of times...Dave how > many times since you have been sober have you just > threw up your hands and > said " Oh hell why stop?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Thanks, I am feeling much better today, I'm back to work.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 I did see the movie, I thought it was pretty good.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 You're right. It's really hard to put yourself in their shoes. I do much better if I stop and think if the situation is really worth a hassle. Many times it is not. But SOMEHOW let them know your views and values. We forget that they are intelligent and can reason for themselves. Easy for me to say now right? DH Re: [ ] woe is me > My parents tried that one with me too, regarding > smoking.
