Ok, I guess I should post - update and say something since I haven't since Friday...
We bought a new car. It's a '04 Ford Explorer XLT SUV. Hell HAS officially frozen over folks, cuz I have sworn for YEARS that I would NEVER EVER drive an SUV> Time changes evrything I guess....
We also gave 30 days notice to move out of our duplex. The housing authority is getting us into a 3 bedroom single family house for much less rent than we are paying now. We gave a one line notice to our on-site landlord then mailed (certified) a 2 page letter to the proprty owners detailing ALL the issues we have had with the on-site manager. Burning bridges.......
I also retained an attorney for bankruptcy. 10 months to pay it off and we are finally free fromt the credit bills, insurmountable medical bills, and my other car. My thinking is this, my doctors say I probably only have 7-10 years left anyway, so by the time I finally snuff it for good, my wife's credit should be pristine again. She will be able to take whatever death benefits SSI will pay her for me and buy a house or something to raise our kids. I know this is a very morbid thought, but I'm trying to think ahead and a little outside the box.......
Our $726 power bill that I went to get public assistance for last Friday did NOT get paid. Even though I had been told it was a done deal, I got a phone call on Tues afternnon saying that because Kris had worked a few extra hours of overtime last month that we had exceeded the eligibility requirement by $115 and they could NOT help us after all. A couple of frantic phone calle later from me and I was able to convince PG&E to spread the bill over the next 6 months. Whew.......I still believe that our faulty a/c unit is to blame for the sky high bill. Had our landlord replace the unit like I have been asking since October, I seriously doubt my bill would have been that huge.
I have now been without alcohol or pot for a month. This sucks ass. Sobriety is fucking overrated. I feel like shit all the time, because i have nothing to curb the pain. Hence this may be why it is 6am and I am on here typing instead of being in bed. I can't fucking sleep because the pain is so intense...
Let me reiterate something and this is a generality not directed at any one specific person (or is it?): PLEASE do not leave negative or critical comments in my journal. If I want a gulit trip, a critique, or to feel like less of a person, I can spend 5 minutes with my Mother......

was your pot smoking becoming a big problem?
i can understand the drinking can really become a mess,but if pot helped so much what problems did you have with it?
