Me

[tryyying]

So I haven't really done this livejournal thing since '04 or '05.. somewhere around that time. I decided, for reasons unknown, to look up one of my old journal's this evening, and read a great deal of entries, and I saw how therapeutic it was to me back then, so why not try it again? It's been suggested to me, by someone whose suggestions I take

Hi Laura. It was so interesting how I got to your page. Right now it's 1:24 am here where I live in Los Angeles. I was just browsing the web, trying to find a place to start a blog. I came upon LiveJournal, and as a keyword used "God" to search for other people's blogs, and this one came about (yes, I am a Christian). Have no idea how. But I did read your story Laura, and I am so happy that things are going well for you now. I have not experienced any of the things you mentioned, but if I can help in any way please let me know. I will keep you in my prayers Laura, and from the bottom of my heart, God bless you!!!

P.S. My name is Victor, a 20 yr-old guy living in Los Angeles. Feel free to write to me.

I'm so glad you posted this bio of yourself! Now I know a little more about yourself. If you have any questions for me feel free to ask!!! I am a very honest and open person.

The first question I usually get is "what was your drug of choice" and that is perfectly ok. I know in NA they say what drug you did in the past doesn't matter, but hey most people are just curious. Mine were opiates, barbiturates, and tranquilizers. Basically I was deemed a "pill popper." I OD'd in spring of 2005, went to rehab, relapsed end of spring 2006, went to rehab again, and have been clean ever since.

You never lost my attention. I can't say I've lived the hardest life even though I can honestly say things have never been easy for me. Whether it was my weight, my speech, my gait, and even ultimately my infertility troubles I've never really had it "that" bad. To see someone who went from overachiever to moving place to place with an abusive partner back to becoming a mother and sober for 7 months is a wonderful journey. Yes there are parts of our lives we aren't proud of but being able to learn from those experiences and move on is what makes us intelligent and strong. I will say I'm glad your mom picked up the phone that night because she saved your life, I hope you know how lucky that makes you and how great that makes her. I guess that's one fear I have, being able to be the person I never had to look to, yes I have a mother and yes I lived with her for 17 years but there are certain things a mother isn't supposed to do or say, a certain way a mother is supposed to treat you and I guess I missed out on a lot of those

i never let my mom forget how much i love her, and appreciate her. im not perfect we have our little battles but overall we have always had a beautiful relationship. she is an amazing woman

Lol, hey there's nothing wrong with being a little spiritual every now and again. I just have to watch myself, I have ADD and I also tend to jump from topic to topic without realizing it so I really have to be careful otherwise a quick quip will turn into a long drawn out speech that makes absolutely no sense at all

Hi, I don't know you, but I saw you're icon on ONTD, and I'm a nosy person, so I clicked. And I read. I'm going to add you.
