I can't tell you how wonderful you all are.

Don't think you have to be a certain way to be a CL. If we had to be exemplary perfect people, iVillage wouldn't *have* any CLs. Those are standards nobody can reach.
We're here for you every step of the way, Lori. Would you consider a local support group as well? They might have resources to help you.

It's heartening to hear you're feeling better. I just feel so bad that you suffered in silence for so long thinking you had to go it alone. Often many of us do that for fear people will think less of us. At least now besides hope you know you also have *acceptance* and friends who care about you and want to help however possible no matter what.
Hugs,
Rhonda

You can get through this Lori, you are strong and are on the right track. The 1st three steps in AA are something to the effect of: (It has been a long time since I've been to a meeting but this is pretty close and I've been told used in all types of support groups)
1) Admitting to being powerless of the addiction
2) Came to believe that a power greater than ourself can restore us to sanity
3) Made the decission to turn our will and life over to a power greater than ourself
I hope this helps some. I really do enjoy hearing from you. I hope things get better for you. The only perfect person that I know died on a cross almost 2000 years ago. You are a wonderful person and have a lot of good advice that you share with all of us.
My prayers go out to you,
