Thank you for your love and prayers this past week. It has really meant alot to me. Hubby does not know that I posted asking for prayers, but if he did I know he'd appreciate it too. We were suppose to go to the doctor's yesterday, but he wasn't into it. I can understand that. Who want to be poked and prodded? He wasn't ready to go. I wish he had because I want to know what's going on. But I allowed him the diginity of taking control of his life and told him if he wanted to cancel it, it was his choice. Perhaps he's not ready to face what is going on. It may be nothing, but it doesn't feel like it. So now the appointment is in July. There's nothing earlier.
He continues to drink on and off. That's his choice. It's been a bit trying. He's also having issues with his exwife. So that's been coming out. What's going on is between them. I don't get in the middle of it.
Work is stressful as my hours have been cut back. I am continuing to look for a new job, but it may take longer than I wish it would. So here I am taking it ODAT, doing my meditations, saying the Serenity Prayer (lots), getting to my meetings when I can and hanging on for dear life. I am also getting use to new glasses and am feeling a bit dizzy. I don't need any help in that department. We'll be okay. I have to have faith. I don't know anything until I hear it straight from the doctors. So please keep those prayers coming. Much love and blessings to you and your families.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

We love ya Lady. Live strong. Take good care of you first.
Re: the glasses. Last year, I got progression glasses (UGH, I hate that I need modified bi-focals now ) but I too had the dizzy stuff too. After about one week, I went back to the eye place and told them, these DO NOT work, they are making me dizzy. She told me, give it one more week and if you don't adjust, they'd change them. So I did and IT WORKED . Give it a little bit of time. Try using your new ones when you are sitting down for example and your old ones if you are walking. I hope this helps.
Love ya, Maria

It is so tough living with the active disease after living with sobriety. For me, I had a lot of grief for that "recovery AH" that was such a healthy, spiritual mate, I missed him so much. It took every ounce of recovery and support I could muster up to make it thru those days. I'm sure you are going thru the same thing.
Praying for Hubby for his medical and sobriety battles.
Sending out prayers for you - prayers of Serenity, courage, wisdom - and a little pink blessing for Pipers Kitty :)
Love & HUGS, Rita

Sorry you are having such a tough time dear lady. I totally understand what you are going thru. It is so hard to just sit back and watch, sometimes that is all we can do. I think you are handleing everything wonderfully.
I continue to keep you in my prayers. The disease of addiction is just so damn hidious. Keep the faith, keep your spirits up dear friend.
(((()))) Kari. Don't put too much stress on yourself at the moment. Leave the job hunting for now if you can. If you can afford to hold off financially do it for as long as possible. Your emotional health is more important. Thinking of you with luv Leo xx
