| interfering grandmother |
| i'm a newbie, and sorry i did drink tonight... but my problem is having a teenager and an interfering grandmother. i was 16 when my son was born and in a sense we "grew up" together, he's always been close to me, but he's been lying to his father and i- we are different from most because we actually "stayed together" and stuck it out for the best and to give him the chance. but he and his grandmother have a very close alliance which borders on a co-dependency in that she believes he can do no wrong, and he knows how to make her believe him. i do well as far as keeping things together, i think i drink as a result of being either bored or just wanting to "unwind", and it's turned into, "well thats why, cause your mother drinks". i was close to her at one time. when my husband is off is when i do drink, which is weekend at most (fri. and sat.) i'm confused. i'm a newbie, and sorry i did drink tonight... but my problem is having a teenager and an interfering grandmother. i was 16 when my son was born and in a sense we "grew up" together, he's always been close to me, but he's been lying to his father and i- we are different from most because we actually "stayed together" and stuck it out for the best and to give him the chance. but he and his grandmother have a very close alliance which borders on a co-dependency in that she believes he can do no wrong, and he knows how to make her believe him. i do well as far as keeping things together, i think i drink as a result of being either bored or just wanting to "unwind", and it's turned into, "well thats why, cause your mother drinks". i was close to her at one time. when my husband is off is when i do drink, which is weekend at most (fri. and sat.) i'm confused.

| Prayer request |
| For those of you that pray, I simply ask for a prayer for me bc I am going to the dentist tomorrow for a sore on the side of my tongue that scares me. I have been a dipper for about 10 years, and a heavy drinker for about 5. I had a tooth with a filling that broke about four year ago and it was at a time when i really couldnt take off work. I let it go, and the dentist didnt seem to mind, but now the sore that it caused on my tongue still hasnt healed. I seems to heal in that i dont have any problems, but them when i get really stressed, like this week when my dog had surgery, it comes back. Am I being crazy? Is this just a recurring ulcer that is stress induced? Does anyone else have these types of oral lesions? Thanks in advance!!!!

| Tests Results Back, I Do Have CHF |
| I had shared with my Family here on SR several weeks ago that I was having some additional medical problems on top of the Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis I already have. I want to thank everyone who sent me kind words and Prayers. It means a great deal knowing that this disease of addiction has brought so many wonderful people into my life thanks to SR.
I'd like to ask for your continuing Prayers. I saw my Dr. today and got the results of all the tests. I do have Congestive Heart Failure. My Dr.'s are very optomistic. With the right meds, a proper diet, eliminating salt, losing weight and stop smoking, I should live for many years.
It was also discovered through the work up that I have Osteoarthritis as well which is not helping my deteriorating joints at all. Hopefully I can get help from some foundations to be able to take the medications to help slow down the progression.
My lab tests have come back showing so very elevated blood levels that have caused additional concern from my doctors. I am having another round of tests for my heart and lungs which will have to be ran in patient. They are all scheduled for the 28th of this month unless my symptoms worsen.
The good news is, once again, I have not had a single urge to use. I did have the opportunity today when the entire Internal Medicine Team came in after my main Dr. asked if it were ok for them to come and see me. (I felt like some medical specimen, which I guess I was) Since it's a teaching facility, I had no problems with residents coming in to learn. I shared with them that I am in Recovery and my drug of choice being opiates. I openly shared with them the cons I used to get more and more Rx's out of Dr.'s in the past. I begged them to be aware of the signs and symptoms. I also asked them not to judge someone, remember what they are taught in medical school - addiction is a disease just like Cancer or Diabetes.
Thanks for letting me share and I appreciate the kind thoughts and Prayers,
