With That I'll Pass. Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes. One who does not understand addiction may make such comments as, “Just don’t drink.”, “Just have two and stop”, “Just smoke pot”, or “Don’t you love your kids?

With That I'll Pass. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Addiction: You Tricky Bastard. Work was tense. I was overwhelmed with fear that everyone knew that I had a drinking problem. One day I decided to ease my anxiety the only way I knew how. I had a glass of wine at lunch. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

With That I'll Pass. Monday, February 23, 2015. The principal was relieved that I said the words, “I need help.” I deflated into a chair in her office, weeping. She picked up the phone and made several calls. She was obligated to call Children, Youth Services. She called my friend, Kelly, to come pick up me and the kids. In the ER, I was immediately on an IV and Librium. There were bruises all over me that I couldn’t explain. I was dehydrated and anemic. The ER staff was able to immediately secure a bed ...

With That I'll Pass. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Hey God, I Have A Complaint. Sobriety. I could feel every nerve ending in my entire body. “How am I going to do this? 8221; I felt so afraid and so alone. My kids were gone. My boyfriend was gone. My cats were even gone. No job, no God, no savings, no license, no health insurance, no hope and not much desire to deal with any of it.

With That I'll Pass. Thursday, May 7, 2015. 8220;Hope has a home”. This was my 3. Visit to inpatient rehab, but the first time that I didn’t have to medically detox. I had about 10 sober days upon arrival. This was important to me because my 14 days there would count immediately. Time doesn’t count until you are out of detox and participating with other clients. (My mind was only on getting out.). I made an appointment to meet with Pastor Rich privately. I told him my sad story and I cried for my Ric...
