  Sorry Hit the wrong button

  Do you ever have dreams keep haunting you?

  What I realize its result of PTSD. One of the threads of my life is dealing with domestic abuse. I've been out of the marriage now for 21 yrs.

  My daughters in the dream are the age when I left the marriage . They are about 7 and 12 yrs old. We are running for our lives being chased by him and the nazi's and put into camps. And half of us are being executed . It was horrible I was the next one. They using some kind a chemical warfare. At that point I woke up.

  It was one of those dreams that kinda stick with you like glue. It does make me angry at times to have deal with this character. I guess its understandable having been badly burned by this guy.( mean emotionally)

  Maybe sometime in my dreams this guy will die??

  Thanks for letting me vent.

  I support you with your committment with not smoking.

  I smoked for 14 yrs. towards the end 3 packs a day. Did the cold turkey thing. Health issues. Scared the liver out of me.

  I had lot of support from co-workers, friends and support groups. I had to change my behaviors. Lots rituals with smoking. The reality for me smoking is all connected in not wanting to get in touch of my feelings.

  It was a mind blower for me because I had quit drinking. It waslike starting all over again with the smoking.

  The tools I used was 12 step smoking group. The best thing I did. Was my saving grace. I chew gum. I probably paved the highway from here to New York with gum and back.

  I am smoke free 6 yrs. every now then I get tested. When it comes to mind is usually not wanting to feel whats going on. A stick of gum is inserted into mouth.

  So be gentle with yourself and one day a time. Sometimes minutes.

  Another Df'ing/suicide...in memory of a dear friend...

  things have calmed down again with my mother to the point where i found myself once again in her kitchen last night.

  drinking too many cups of coffee as i always do at her house, i imagine if i were a smoker i'd have been lighting one cigarette after another instead.

  it had been a pleasant enough evening, i sat there with my crocheting in my lap, something i always take with me to my mother's house so that if i get nervous or stressed out, my hands, and my mind, have something to do and somewhere to go.

  I am sorry to hear about your friends death. It is difficult to understand or even comprehend it all.

  In my workplace a friend and co-worker who died of 90some % burns in taking his life. We are having a celebration of his life at the hospital.(workplace). This Friday.

  Its really hard to take this all in and to comprehend of suicide as well it is for you. I do offer my condolences and a hug.

  Memorial Day

  to honor those who have gone on before us.

  to find meaning in this day by thinking of those who have gone before us___both of those who have died without knowing that recovery was possible and those who paid dearly for the opportunities we have.. those who identified themselves as exjw's and struggled to tell their story may or may not be alive.

  most certainly they are remembered, if they were ever known at all.. and to acknowledge others too who fought in war's for freedom.

  And to acknowledge others too who fought in war's for freedom. For years I honored those who have died from Alcoholism, drugs, domestic, phyical, sexual, emotional , spiritually and child abuse.

  This year my way of giving back is deliverying SilentLambs flyers to all the kingdom halls in Minneapolis, St Paul. Some of the towns in Minnesota that I know have kingdom halls by mail. Hand deliver and a lamb to the hall that I was pushed out.

  I look at this project of planting seeds. Who knows what the outcome will be.

  To me this real crazy making. In the state of Minnesota we are having major, major cuts state, county and city level here in Minnesapolis and St. Paul. It does'nt make sense????To be getting a tax relief.

  What was said on the media a persom making 500,000 will receive a $13, 000 tax relief. Than on the other end of the money chain $50.00!! I'm not impressed!!!!!

  I work for a county hospital We have to trim 11 million dollars off our budget. They letting go of 190 full time employess. Some are asked a early retirement with $30,000 bonus. Clinics outside of the hospital are being closed. Social services, nutrition services, chaplaincy services, maintenance and the list goes on.

  And the Federal government wants to give us a tax break?? There is something wrong with this picture?? It's all pretty dysfunctional!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Thanks for the vent!!!
