Wow, have I received a lot of responses and a lot to ponder. The biggest obstacle right now is our transportation prob. The used car we bought needs a new trans and we have no recourse on it. The one we are paying on is not running and we hopefully will be able to get it to the shop this week and fix it for way less than the other. So at least I pray. Once those things are out of the way, I have some basic things to take care of. I do want to join a church, with or without my hubby. And even my psychologist whom I just had an appt. with for the first time the other day agreed I needed to build a support system. So this is my first goal I guess you could say. It was funny that the one church I thought about joining that was supposedly very accepting is the one he mentioned other patients have loved to go to. He himself does not subscribe to organized religion because of personal experience as a child, which I was amazed that he opened up to me. But, he was supportive of this. Twelve step groups-I had completely forgotten about that!. I am sure there have got to be some kind of support groups around here somewhere. I am in no physical condition at the time to do volunteer work right now, but if my health improves that is also a great option. You all had great advice, and it is so much appreciated. I am trying so hard to stay positive. Or at least find hope in the dark if that makes any sense. Well thank you all and best of wishes for each one of you.
Peace
