Re: Things Left Unsaid *LA* v. 6

I want to keep my job. I don't want to be homeless again, and I don't want to have to rely on food stamps, the food bank, and loans from friends just to get by. I have had such a hard time with the bureaucracy of the public medical insurance system, I don't want to have to go back on that program. I...

Re: Help??

Welcome to BUS, Job! I am so glad to see you here. It's a tradition to give welcome cows to new members, so here you are: :cowave: :moo: :moove: You have come to the right place. I don't know whether hugs would be helpful to you right now, but if so, BUS has plenty of 'em, just waiting for you. BUS ...

Re: Just One Victory - Coping With Substance Abuse Problems

Hey Spidey, It's really more alcohol that I oppose. A childhood friend of mine killed his foster mother while high on marijuana laced with crack cocaine, and is spending what is basically his whole life in prison for a juvenile offense, so I strongly oppose allowing youths access to drugs like cocai...

Re: Just One Victory - Coping With Substance Abuse Problems

It's weird: I oppose criminal drug penalties from a public safety standpoint. I'm in favor of substance abuse specialty courts from a public health perspective. (These are two positions that many advocates and public administrators consider to be legally and ideologically in contradiction.) ... From...

Thanks, Spidey. Cool name, BTW! Meh... I am still using benadryl or melatonin every night to get to sleep, even though it makes me feel sick during the day. :morning: I regularly kick the coffee habit, then pick it back up again. :roll: Recently my partner opened up a bottle of wine and we left it i...

Re: Just One Victory - Coping With Substance Abuse Problems

I've been sober for um...20 months. So a little over a year and a half. Each day is "just one victory." I go to 12 Step meetings regularly (about 3 or 4 a week) and I have a sponsor...though I don't talk to her enough. :/ Need to work on that. But I'm doing good with my sobriety other than that. Ev...

No, actually, I don't care what you have to say either. You make nice eye candy, and you're.convenient, but that's it.
