Starting Monday I will be starting my second training for the
Peer Wellness program. I have not
started my internship yet but have an interview on the 26th. I was really hoping that I could do my
internship at the mental health center that I go to, but they are not letting
anyone who goes there to do their internship or work there. That makes no sense to me at all, after all,
isn’t it a good thing to show peers that you have used their services and such
and found a way to enter into recovery.
Their reason for not allowing current clients there is because we will
have access to our own records. Now that
gets me to thinking, what is so bad about that?
Makes me wonder what is in my record that they want to keep to
themselves. Now because they are being that
way, I am going to be asking to see my records, because after all, I can.
My son came up this way last weekend to visit with me. I could not believe when he called me that Wednesday
to ask if he could visit. He didn’t give
me much chance to find some interesting things for him to do, but he did tell
me that he really liked it up here. He
came with his girlfriend. About four
months ago he moved in with this girl, and let me tell you first, I really like
the girl, but they are so young (21) that it is hard for me to take at this
time. All I have to say is what I told
him, I can’t be a grandmother until I am fifty.
OMG just to type that out is crazy.
I will be 45 in four days. I don’t
know what my age is supposed to feel like, but I doubt I feel it.
Ok so what is bothering me at this? Denny has started drinking again. Makes no sense to me that after fourteen
months to begin again, but he did. I
want to scream at him and beat the crap out of him, but I have decided that I
will sit and wait and see what happens.
He says that he felt pressured to quit in the first place and that he
felt it was not his decision. All I have
to say is whatever!!!! I asked him if he
was thinking of getting sober again and he said it was a high possibility, but
I think that he is going to wait until he totally sinks to the lowest possible
place he can.
I guess what bothers me the most is the talks we had and how
he said that he loved me and that he chose me instead of drinking and shit. So what is he saying now? Is he saying that I am not worth it any longer? I know logically that his drinking is a
disease and he really doesn’t have complete control over it and all, but it
still hurts mega. I have decided that I
will go back to the original deal I made with him before he quit. I will not be around him if he is drinking or
be around him if he has drunk. Guess that
means that I will be alone quite often.
All I know is love fucking hurts and there is nothing that I can do
about it.
I decided that I am going to try and get myself out of my funk
of isolating and being all depressed. I
began to feel this way before Denny drank and of course it got worse
after. I decided that I will get out and
do things and focus on my internship, school and training. These are things that will keep my mind on my
goals and not help me to remain isolated.
It just would be really nice if I had close friends here, but I have yet
to find that friend. I have a few
friends, but not that special kind that really listen and talk and go out to do
things even when I don’t want to.
Above is my schedule for the fall semester. I am so excited because if everything goes
right, I will be done at the community college and on my way to the state
college in a year. I only have 7 classes
to complete to have an Associate’s degree by May. I will take three of them in fall and the
remainder in spring. This is the kind of stuff that I have to focus
on and as long as I do I should be alright.
Ok that is all for now. TTFN
