Hi everyone...sure wish I could get into the meeting. I have been under alot of stress and my blood pressure is extremely low. This I am reading can cause anxiety, depression, and other ailments. I am very concerned and I have apt with doc on Wednesday. I went to the health food store and got some natural remedies.
This is not a joke these addicts actually have the power to kill us.....how do I escape I can not take much more. I need to be completely set free from all of it. I love my grand children so much and want to see them but it makes me very sad and anxious. I am so confused. I have lost my whole family. My daughters and grand children are the only things I have as family and they are gone all becasue of this addiction......I am in so much pain and torment I cant stand it. I cry and I feel better so I am crying and crying......I am trying to take care of myself and now this blood pressure thing. I am scared and I feel like I have no one. In the end we only have ourselves any way. So I guess this is a lesson. I want to feel beeter and enjoy my life like I use to.......
Aloha Jean Ann -hope you made it into the meeting.
If not, and you really need to talk with someone, remember you can search for a meeting in town - or at the very least find a support number from one of the meetings and call and talk with someone.

Jean Ann, Hang in there. I can't get into the meeting room today either. It isn't us!!! There seems to be a glich somewhere keeping some people from being able to get on. I agree with Aloha, try to get to a meeting. There are other online chat rooms, albeit not at great as MIP, but there are others. Google Alanon and see what you find.
This too shall pass for you dear. I'll be praying for you.
Take care, redfred
