Wasn't Nora going to go see her aunt...? Still, she would have said something prior to leaving.

Mama, I hope the molten lava is cooling and firming up. Are you taking off tomorrow so you can fully recover?

K9 and FT, I know you will get the jobs.

Took my father for his hearing aid adjustment---wrong week, it's next week. I felt bad for him. I could see how distressed he was for getting the appt dates mixed up.

And no, Mama, my husband would not mow my father's lawn. He has no respect for my father because of the way he's treated me in the past.

I'm not sure Nora's away. Seems that I remember something about it, that's all.

I'm in bed now. Sun's shining in the window, but I don't care. I'm damn tired, and I'm going to rest and relax.

Yep - bit stronger today thanks Mama

I think I'm about to do a disappearing trick soon too. I'm going to Sydney for the weekend and not sure if I'll take my laptop or not. I've been really lonely lately so I'm very excited to be spending time with my son and his fiancee and some of my friends who live down there.

Well, Mama B, I did not mean to cause a disturbance in the force! LOL NO, I don't leave without proper notice being given. So If I am quiet, it means work or family has taken presedence.

And J-when the tireds hit, hit the bed! That is my motto!

I'm here....sorry peeps. Just haven't had much to say. I am trying to get myself straightened out. Have a call into the psych regarding my meds. I had gone down on them a few months ago and have hit a huge depression. Understandable, of course, with everything that is going on in my life. But, I think I should go back up to what I was taking before.
Finally took an antabuse today. Not sure that I'm going to be able to stay on it right now. I believe that to take antabuse, you need to be committed that that is what you want. I am just worried that I'll do something stupid and drink on it.
Just a lot of family stuff going on right now & I'm trying to deal with it. Didn't mean to make you worry.
Love you all.......

Nora.....you know how much I love you......so here is some tough love
I know you are sad and depressed...but if there is any time to be sober, IT IS NOW.
Drinking is going to make it worse. You know this. So STOP IT. Take the damn pill and deal with life with a clear head and soul. Dragging this poisoning of yourself out is not helping ANYTHING...you, Scott, Casey, your Mom...no one.
Depression sucks, but do something positive to battle it....you know AL is not the answer. Get outside, stay around pople, be involved.....do not isolate and shut down
Please read this and know my arms are around you, ok?? God, I wish I could come out there and shake you and hold your hand at the same time.
I LOVE YOU and I HATE that you are doing this to yourself.

Hi all,

I'm going on Antabuse for the opposite reason. I know can't do this by myself and I'm hoping it's enough of a deterrent. And if not, if I do drink while taking it, I hope it makes me sick so I get rid of anything I drank before it has a chance to hurt me worse.

My biggest fear is that I drink while taking it and it does nothing.

Good Morning all,
Nora stay strong do what ever you have to do to not let the evil fluid across your lips.

Dearest Nora, I can't imagine what you're going through, but know I'm here if you want to talk. I mean that. We can talk for hours, if you wish. Also, the AL isn't going to make the situation better, and you know that. You will sink further into your depression and grief, and life will get markedly worse. You don't want to go any deeper.
TTDP
Get back on your meds.
See your therapist.
Talk to us-- here or privately.

You're experiencing heart wrenching grief, and that's normal. You're normal. Scream, cry for days, but my God, be grateful that you had such a loving father. What I would give....

All my love,
J

I'm considering it for the same reason, but I won't test it. Don't you either, you hear?:l
