Not for nothing, I know how it feels to be so frustrated with something that it causes a domino or a ripple effect to various other things. I do hope that everything eventually got fixed and sorted, and that you've never had this sort of trouble again with it since.Janey Watkinshttp://www.onehourairwestpasco.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-9865779814756897282008-07-27T16:28:00.000-04:002008-07-27T16:28:00.000-04:00Dear Frances, This is the first time in months th...Dear Frances, This is the first time in months that I've read your blog.

You are a very strong person throughout this because I would have slugged someone, taken over someone's apartment and a number of Bad Behaviors. <BR/><BR/>And you stayed Abstinent. <BR/><BR/>The wreckage in the Bat Cave can be fixed. It's just harder to fix ourselves. You're trying and sticking to abstinence and the Rooms and all of us have faith in you.Lori G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02167055316077502640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-47494644073402118652008-07-24T19:31:00.000-04:002008-07-24T19:31:00.000-04:00No AC in this wicked heat is impossible to bear, b...No AC in this wicked heat is impossible to bear, but you are showing courage and commitment and hanging on to abstinence with everything you have. And it's paying off in self respect and weight loss - though the self respect and stability of the program are what makes the loss happen.<BR/><BR/>My heart goes out to you over the topsy turvey Bat Cave.

And I find myself alone frequently. Lack of AC in July is a major thing. Walls being torn up, very invasive. I drove without AC for three summers I think. I grew to enjoy the sweating and purging, but then I had air conditined places to go, the car trips were temporary. It is MARVELOUS that you are abstinent and you lost ten pounds. And you are doing it in the midst of the AC crisis. I'm struggling right now with increased appetite and food cravings and I am looking for someone or something to blame. Blame doesn't work, though. What you are doing works. Hang in there it sounds like you are doing really good. Putting first things first, you know.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400492104098347769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-50953936888823658672008-07-24T13:04:00.000-04:002008-07-24T13:04:00.000-04:00Reading this makes me feel so much better because ...Reading this makes me feel so much better because I spend a lot of time feeling very alone, though it probably doesn't look like that.<BR/><BR/>Your A/C story kills me. As an addict I can't stand discomfort but even worse than hunger for me is being hot. I hate it, I hate sweat, I hate sticky. I think it's why I can't do exercise even though I know I will feel okay if I do.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on those 10 pounds.

My housing nightmare right now ...Oy, can I relate! My housing nightmare right now is an infestation of bedbugs. I'm scheduled for my second extermination next week, and few people get rid of the things without 4-5 visits. So far I'm out probably $2K of my own money, including around $700 to get my three cats up to date on their shots, and to board them because the shit they spray for the bedbugs is too toxic for my cats! (And what about me?)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, as I struggled a few weeks ago with three cat carriers, trying to get them in a car service to the vet, I so wanted another person there to help. Really, *any* other pair of hands would have been helpful but of course my head went straight for the strong, silent man who will save me and fix all my problems.<BR/><BR/>The bedbug situation in general is making me face the fact that I have lived in a dump of an apartment for TEN YEARS. When I moved in, it was pretty much all I could afford but I should have left years ago. I haven't been taking care of myself - it's another one of those basic self-care things that get put to the side when you are in the food.<BR/><BR/>I can also vouch for the ability of a REALLY high level of stress (not your garden-variety malaise) to help keep you abstinent. But I hope we both find calmer and saner ways to do it!Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975224142363059168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-15846536015341406112008-07-24T10:29:00.000-04:002008-07-24T10:29:00.000-04:00I refuse to go into regret.

I ain't got that long. I am giving my overwhelming past griefs to God. The day to day stuff I'm handling.<BR/><BR/>That was some miserable story about the air conditioner. Too bad it wasn't fiction. Keep on fanning, you are ten pounds lighter.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972291927652716856noreply@blogger.com
