| In the begining, Lori felt she was only hurting her self as time and year's went by she could see that she was not just hurting her self but every one that love'd her. About 3 year's ago she came to me and wanted to stop drinking at that time I had been sober four a few year's.. She had been drinking for so long we where worried about her going through D.T.s by then she had to be hospitalized and than she went to treatment she was in treatment for about three weeks are so. And she did good for a short time and then went back around playmates and play grounds because she was lonely, and then got a dui and ran. To Iowa where I had moved, Once again she came to me. Wanting help and once again had to be hospitalize and this time she went to treatment again this time longer. She was sicker and had a real hard time This time she was put on a I.V med's she was in hospital for three weeks (see treatment page) She did so good for a few month's. But then the heart ake of past wronge's and then the crazy maker's would start. And my sister showed signs of clinical depression. And was put on med's. Lori could not forgive her self. For hurting her clildern, She wanted to but when you have been raised one way and that is the way it is most of your life. It is hard to feel good about yourself. I know because I was there too. She did try to stop and change so many time's. To drink was the only way she knew. To ease the pain in side her mind. One need's to go to her poem's links are below. It tells you how she really felt. Please try to remember her list of amends was just a begining. She told me it was to painfull to go it to it more at that time. My sister cryed her self to sleep many nights when she got out of treatment she could not efored her med's one must read her poems this is her talking to her childern |
