My sad ( and rather long) story.

[JamieH]

Are you planning on going to college?

I do like to drink, but I never drink when I am upset. I only do it occasionally with friends to let loose. If you are ever upset, do not use any sort of drugs, like alcohol, to help deal with the problem. All that is going to do is bury the problem, which will still be there when you sober up. It is better to find a way to either deal with the problem, or try to find a way to get away from it.

It sounds like you are really happy with your boyfriend. That is great. However, try not to rely on him or his family too much. You never know what the future will hold. Sorry if I am being negative, but you should always look out for yourself. Save your money, so that if things do not work out with him that you are able to manage without him. I hope that you won't have to use the money, but you never know.

Not that I am too much older than you are, but you are still farily young. You still have a long life ahead of you. Do not let the past determine the future. Set goals for yourself, and do your best to reach them. Find out what is most important to you, and find a way to get it.

Good luck.

Yes, college is soon, trying to get my financial aid worked out.

Yeah, I dont anymore except socially lol, and thats the reason I was never sober.I just kept putting my problems under wraps

and believe me I hear you, I know your not trying to be negative, just to put things in perspective for me,(some people tend to get tunnel vision) and I thank you.

&& Thank you again, Ive gotten in the habit of setting small goals, in order to work my way up.
