Hi all,


I guess I spoke to soon.


I just got a call from my "A". He went over to go work on the car. Somehow it caught on fire, and the fire department put it out.


So now the car is toast, literally. He said the engine melted. And it is not repairable.


He is crying asking what has he done to deserve this.


I don't know what we are going to do with out a car. But I am even more scared that he will go into full blown relpase because he thinks God is punishing him.


He and I have been stuggling to get by for almost 9 years. I am so tired of fighting just to survive.

I am so sorry to hear about your car, who knows why these things happen. I do understand what it is to struggle. Just take a deep breath and breathe.

I will be praying for you and your hub.

Try and remember hon, than God does not give us more than we can handle. I know at times it seems like he does, but he doesn't

Best Of Luck,
Andrea

Mandy - so sorry about the car, but it is just a car.  He could have been hurt too.  HP will see you through this just as he always has.  Believe and you can see it happen.  You know what to do, just don't lose sight of your recovery.

Dolphin, I am so sorry to hear about this. I wish there were some magic words I could say that would help, but there are not. Try to hang in there. Things will be okay. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive energy.

With love and caring, Diva

We are powerless over whether they pick up a drink and we are powerless over whether they do not pick up a drink.  Simply put, we don't have that much control at all over anything except ourselves.

So sorry about your trouble, Dolphin.


I try to remind myself that down times only emphasize the upbeat times.


I agree with Maria....


Your friend, MsPeewee

Hugs dolphin damn full moon again always makes things go wrong.  For now you have no transport but I am so glad that you and your A were not in the car we can't replace you can we?  Down the track it may have ended up costing you a lot of money so there could be a reason for the loss of the car now.  Try and get yourself out of the house if the pressure builds up a little with your A.  Are you close to shops etc or does the car going causing a huge problem in lots of areas?  I know that for me it is the lack of independence when mine breaks down that is so frustrating.  You never know what may turn up there could be someone on the board here near you who may know of something going at a reasonable price.  Keep posting and see what happens.   (((())) Luv Leo xx
