Happy Hump Day..

Today I am grateful..

For my co-workers that keep me grounded..

For my job..

For the car that I have..

For being okay today..

That I am still here..

I need help.  Not quite sure what to say other than I am receiving attention I have never received before and I just don't quite know what to do with it.  I have been married for 14 years and don't want to screw things up.  I am planning a high school reunion (my 20th) and several men from my past have seen me on facebook and have shown a lot of interest in my new look.  It is hard to turn down attention from men because it validates that indeed perhaps I am attractive.  I find it to be a real mental *%ck.  HELP!

Hi Kathy,

 I have been on that kind of stuff my whole life--- forgive me for being foolish sounding whats a LMHC?? I thank you for responding it's hard because it's not common or at least not alot of info where people admit to it. my email is [email protected]

Hey Sarah,
   Why were you prescribed Adderall? Curious, as I'm a LMHC and very familiar with the drug.  Since it is a stimulant, you need to be careful to make sure that you are getting your caloric and protein intake to stay  healthy. That is the most important thing right now.
  It is not uncommon for WLS patients to pick up a new addiction, as we have forfeited a socially acceptable one (over eating). 
The one you have chosen, if abused, can lead to renal failure, heart failure, death.  Please keep reaching out, and find some professional help.  I'm here if ya wanna chat.

Hugs,
Kathy

03/23 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
The Program teaches us, through the experience, strength and hope of its fellowship, that the worst situation imaginable does not warrant a return to our addiction.  No matter how bad a particular situation or set of cir****tances, the return to our old ways for even a minute will assuredly make it worse.  AM I GRATEFUL FOR THE SHARING AND CARING OF THE PROGRAM?

TODAY I PRAY
May I insist that no stone can be heavy enough to drag me back down into the pool of my addiction.  No burden, no disappointment, no blow to pride or loss of human love is worth the price of returning to my old way of life.  When I harbor thoughts that life is "too much" for me, that no one should be expected to "take so much and still remain sane"  or that I am "the fall guy, " let me listen for the tone of my complaints and remember that I have heard that whine before -- BEFORE I concluded that I was powerless over the chemical and gave my will over to the Will of God.  Such wailing sets me up for getting high again.  May God keep my ears alert to the tone of my own complaining.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Hear my own complaints.
