Seriously Cakemaker try the no smoking thread. It has some good advice on it. I should know. I'm on it. I quit almost a month ago and it has been really encouraging. I don't know which vice I'll try next. I know it won't be chocolate! I can't imagine any one would even consider that!

It amazes me how far people will go to avoid taking respnsibility for their own stupidity. And the lengths they will go to to make others pay for it! Lord help this idiot. Even if he wins and gets rich he will be too stupid to take advantage of the money and will probably be bankrupt within a couple of years.

I think it's a great idea but anybody want to bet it won't stand up in court?

No advice from me. We have very different personalities so I won't pretend I know how you feel or know how to fix all of your problems. This is one time I am glad I am not a deep thinker because you bring up a lot of things that are difficult to sort out! I WILL pray for you. For your understanding. For your peace of mind. For your own personal joy. No advice. Just love. I hope you find the answers you need.

I just wanted to drop in and say hi. I was a cross country trucker for a few years and I loved it. Not everybody is cut out for it. I was a single driver and stayed on the road most of the time. It was good money and I loved the travel but missed my kids and grandkids. Now I'm home doing the grandma thing! There are a lot of trucker chapels out there at the truck stops. Some truck stops have bulletin boards with notices of churches that will come and get you and take you to their services. I always started praying for a place to go to services on Friday night and God made sure I was in the right place at the right time on Sunday. Use your CB radio out there to contact other drivers on the road. Don't be shy. Their are christian truckers out there you just have to make the effort to contact them. God grant you safety as you travel.

I've just been reading this thread and it occurs to me that I can't remember how long I've been divorced. I was going to go find my divorce papers but don't recall where I put them. I think of my ex now and no longer feel the anger and pain I once did. I know it has been some where in the neighborhood of 7 years since we divorced. Like many of you I have my own sad story of love I thought would last forever. Only to find out things don't always go as you plan. I feel secure in the knowledge that I did the best I could. I made every effort to make it work. I don't regret the marriage and will always have a special place in my heart for him but know that relationship is over. All of this is just to say to all of you going through this now that their is an end to the pain. Stay close to your church family. Lean on God for everything. Every time you think of your ex and feel pain or anger make a concious effort to pray for the ability to forgive them immediately. It wil have to be done over and over {70 times 7} but it will eventually happen. Be strong for your kids and give them all the love and attention you can spare. Try to never talk bad about the other parent after all they are a part of them. My prayers are with you all. Don't jump into another relationship until you repair the one you have with yourself. I wish you all happiness and peace in the future. I know you will find it if you just hold strong.

This is my first time in a chat room so I've just been exploring. I found you and have been mesmerized by your story. My heart breaks for you. I can't imagine feeling so alone. I don't have any degrees and am nobody special but hope you will remember THIS TOO SHALL PASS. Hold on with all you've got. I don't know your circumstances but I know God. He will get you through if you just don't give up on him. He will NEVER give up on you. Please know that we love you.
