Hi everyone, just wanted to give everyone an update before i leave for supper at my cousins house. Its presently saturday after around 3h30 and its my first week-end ALONE. My kids are with their father since yesterday until next friday. I have been keeping busy, shopping, and going to restaurants with friends. I have had great support from everyone here reminding me that i am worth it and from my friends and family, that i am truly blessed. Joe has still been calling me and told me that he wanted to get clean and get help and he wanted me by his side. I told him that this was his fight. I can't and won't go back to the way things were and that if her really wants help for HIM and not me that i will be of support BUT i will not have him come here and be the same way and live the same things as before. NO way. But there is no way in he|l that he will every get better until he gets some kind of intervention and that i will stand by my grounds no matter what.
Right now, i have me and my boys and thats what is the most important. Thanks to everyone here, leaving for supper and i will check back later.
Joe has still been calling me and told me that he wanted to get clean and get help and he wanted me by his side.
bullsh*t! joe probably knows better than anyone else that it requires effort to develope a new relationship with someone else. as resourceful as crack heads can be, he likely does not care to or have the mental facility to work on a relationship that is comfortable for his needs. easier then to try and maintain, or beg, as it seems, to maintain what is familiar to him. he's working you with a crack head confidence.
joe has been dealing the same hand and will continue to.when he's ready to make change, it'll be without you by his side.

and you know that nikki, because you are answering the calls.
trust me, cut the ties as suggested. you know it's over, he doesn't, and if he does, he doesn't want to accept it.

Nikki-
How are things going?
Are the boys doing ok?
How about your plans to visit with your sister, are you still planning for that?
I hope that everything is well. I'm looking forward to seeing some Australian beaches!

I haven't been on for 2 days. I was very busy yesterday, my son had surgery, they inserted tubes in his ears because he had liquid behind both ear drums, therefore he couldn't hear well and that was one of his main reasons for having trouble at school. Everything is okay, his hearing is back to normal, he is doing fine and i am happy that it went well. Yesterday I went to the passport office to have my passport done, but i forgot my birth certificate at home. Here its a 2 hr wait to have your passport done, stupid me i waited the line and realized that i had forgotten my certificate at home.
So my mom will take care of the kids on monday because its my week and i will go back and have my passport done. It usually takes 3 weeks before i get it. How are you doing and your son.

I just wanted to update everyone on my situation. I have been doing not bad. I still feel lonely but i am keeping busy. I discussed with my therapist about going to spousal education and support and combine that with my current therapy.
So I had an appointment on wednesday at a place where they give in and out patient rehab and detox and they also provide support and education on how to protect yourself from the turmoil that addiction could bring into ones life. It went very well. She was very nice and it made more things clear to me. I guess that i was still blaming myself for not being able to help joe and i know that its up to him to make a change but i still carried so much guilt that i could of done more. She was so helpful. I told her that i was part of this forum and that i was trying to educate myself to the best of my knowledge. She took down the name of this site so she could refer it to other people that are in the same situation as i am . Good ratings gene, i am promoting our site....lol.
Anyway, she helped me and i am going back in 2 weeks for more therapy. Its a government place, therefore i don't have to pay and it goes on my medicare. Talk to you guys soon
Glad to here things are going good Nikki,Dont let the lonleness get to you that too shall pass with time.More often than not us woman give in to taking assholes back because we cant stand the lonleness.So hang in there sweetie,It will all work out for the best,you will see this.
Diane
Diane is right .... it will get better.... "Hi Diane !! "
I am so glad that you are taking care of you and going a step further in gaining the understanding that you could not help Joe if he was unwilling to help himself... I can truly say that you have done your best in your situation ...
I have missed sometime here , but am slowly catching up to things ....
Take care ....
Much Love ...
Michelle

Sorry Nikki....
I'm going to go off topic to address, what a few people have PM'd me about...
my Walt Disney World vacation, that I mentioned here
and should have left for yesterday, which, obviously, I didn't.
O.K.....
Jacob and I have made WDW a staple, since 1999...
which, for some reason, though I'm not sure, I might have stated 2000,
if I did, which, I'm not sure why I would have, that would be incorrect....
Anyhoo...
After the first 2 years of going through the WDW travel company,
I decided to start doing everything myself....
So, after I received my W-2's and did my taxes in 2001,
getting my money w/i 3 days, doing a rapid refund..
I went online to buy my plane tickets to leave the following week,
I purchased R/T shuttle tickets to/from our hotel & the airport,
go to the WDW value resort I decided to stay at that year,
and would tell them, I had no reservations but,
wanted a room for the next 5-6 nights...
I had already purchased our tickets online and
could pick them up at any ticket window of any park.
Well, not only did this prove to be cheap,
I NEVER encountered any problems, until last year.
When I showed up at the All Star Sport Resort...
There were NO ROOMS left available...
I couldn't believe it....how could that be....
They found us a room at the All Star Music,
which is where we're staying at in April...
Well, you know why...cause 9/11 is further behind us
and people are flying again and taking vacations again....
When I posted last week we were leaving Friday(yesterday),
That's what I PLANNED on doing, knowing I'd have my money
w/i the next two days...assuming everything else would work w/ me...
BEFORE BOTHERING to look at flights or checking if the hotel had rooms.
WRONG....
There was not one flight left, going to Orlando,
from any carriers that fly there, out of Midway.
I can't even leave March 30th either...Now, we're not leaving til April 4th
and have to cut our trip short cause he has to be in school,
and his spring break ends on the 8th but, will miss school on the 9th cause
that's when we're coming home....
Now, our trips have to be already set in stone, paid for in advance...
The years I enjoyed cheap prices and availability are clearly over.
So, we're all set to go April 4th and we'll be home on the 9th...
I'll tell Goofy then Bill

As a matter of fact...You can take this to the bank...
I'll give you $500 if you do...You have my word!
Would you like me to give you my bank account number now or on the phone......lol.
Well i have reserved my tickets to leave to australia on friday march 9 and i will be back on friday march 23. I will be leaving with my parents and coming back alone. I am terrified of flying but lots of gravol. I am happy to see my sister, i miss her and my father has family there. Should be fun.
Wow, The time is comming fast.You will have fun.Good for you nikki,enjoy.Im scared of flying too.Be careful,dont have a drink on the plane if your full of gravol,I made that mistake lol.
Hugs Diane
Thanks diane, just gravol will be okay. I didn't expect to leave so fast but thats the way the reservations ended up. I get home sick when i go on vacation. I think everything will be okay.
No mixing gravol and drinking because i might end up like this on the plane
As a matter of fact...You can take this to the bank...
I'll give you $500 if you do...You have my word!

Love u guys
Nikki
No, I prefer not to have your bank account number.
I take it you don't have a paypal account.
I'll send you a certified check in Canadian currency
by next day delivery, that will have to be signed for...
Nothing personal... All you need to do is
provide me with a copy of your tickets, or the confirmation notice
if you booked your flight online and are using ticketless travel
(which is what I do, I check in for my flight too,
before leaving the house for the airport..
All I have to do is drop off my luggage
at the curbside check in)
You can scan a copy and email it to me or
I can give you a fax number to fax them to me...
Did you think I was joking...
Peace & Love,
Lynn
_________________ If you can not stand for something, you will fall for everything
Yes i think you were joking. Actually my dad booked everything on line. He should be getting the e-tickets by e-mail very soon.
Lynn, i was just making a joke about my bank account. You don't have to send me anything. Girl, please you are making die. Please take care of yourself
Yes i think you were joking. Actually my dad booked everything on line. He should be getting the e-tickets by e-mail very soon.
Well...you thought wrong Darling.
You don't get e tickets by e mail...
you get a receipt, with a confirmation number
and an itinerary of your flight...immediately by email.
You get a printable boarding pass,
up to 24 hrs. in advance of your scheduled departure
if you choose to check in online...otherwise,
you have to wait in line and check in with your carrier,
with the reservation confirmation number to get your boarding passes

I understand I don't have to send you anything,
but, what good is my word then?
Right Jenni..I still plan on sending those books,
I gave you my word, I have the money and I'll send it,
You won't wait like Jenni has..ask your father to print you a copy
of the email confirmation he received when he booked the flights,
then scan it and email it to me...or
I'll give you a number to fax me a copy.
I would hope you would never give anyone your bank account number
Especially to someone you only know online
Peace & Love,
Lynn

No way, thats what i am telling you, i was just joking about the account number. I never took you seriously. Lets me serious, i know you gave me your word, but don't send me anything.

Your words are good for stimulating Nikki to do so.
