Thanks all, I appreciate your support more than I can express in words.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.

Discovery Channel Interview

/ Lori / 4 Comments

I DID IT.  I had my Discovery Channel interview yesterday.  It was TWELVE HOURS LONG.  A very emotional day, and I slept until 3pm today.  But it was the best sleep I ever got, no nightmares so I’m happy.  Had a wonderful crew!  A cameraman, interviewer, and I guess some guy who would hold up the IPAD and say “LORI INTERVIEW TAKE ONE….)

Didn’t think they still did that.  They asked a LOT of questions and some things I remembered that I wish I hadn’t.  But I’m glad I did it.  It will spread awareness for International Domestic Violencce as well as conditions in the Middle East.  I’m just very happy it’s over.  Thanks for all your support and emails, they helped me more than you know!!!

Suboxone…my WONDER DRUG for addiction!

/ Lori / 4 Comments

Suboxone is a relatively new drug for addiction.  I was first prescribed it in rehab in October 2008.  I couldn’t believe it!!!   I had NO WITHDRAWALS and it gave me this overall “calmness”.  It might not do this for everyone but I guarantee you if you use it you will know the difference between this and the traditional Methadone.  Suboxone is a NARCOTIC, but it works two ways, it has an opoid in it, then it has another ingredient that counteracts the “HIGH” feeling you get from opiates.  It also will cause withdrawals if you try to take another opiate with it.

YOU HAVE TO TRY IT TO BELIEVE IT, and it might not work the same on everyone.  The opiod it contains is strong so it will help with any pain you are having.  Matter of fact they are using it on cancer patients and is working better than MORPHINE for pain.

I have found some helpful information for you and the links are below.

I think if you try it you will be amazed.  It’s an orange pill that you let dissolve under your tongue and you do this one to twice daily.  I will let the experts tell you the rest:)

SUBOXONE and SUBUTEX are prescription medicines used to treat adults addicted to opioid (narcotic painkillers) medicines and drugs, such as morphine and heroin. SUBOXONE and SUBUTEX take the place of these medicines and drugs and may help you stop using and abusing them. SUBOXONE and SUBUTEX are part of a complete addiction treatment program that also includes counseling or behavioral therapy. SUBOXONE and SUBUTEX have not been studied in children.

SUBOXONE

is a tablet that contains 2 medicines.

  1. The first medicine is called buprenorphine (BYOO-pruh-NOR-feen). It is like painkiller medicines such as morphine, street drugs like heroin, and addiction treatment medicines like methadone. Buprenorphine may give you less of a “high” than these other prescription medicines and street drugs. Withdrawal or stopping buprenorphine may be easier than stopping other prescription medicines and street drugs.
  2. SUBOXONE also contains naloxone (nal-OX-own). When naloxone is injected, it blocks the effects of medicines and drugs like methadone, heroin, and morphine. Naloxone is added to SUBOXONE to stop people from injecting (“shooting-up”) SUBOXONE tablets. When you use SUBOXONE under your tongue (sublingually), as prescribed, the naloxone in SUBOXONE should not stop the medicine’s effects. However, if you inject SUBOXONE, the naloxone can give you bad withdrawal symptoms.
  3. SUBUTEX is a tablet and it contains only the medicine buprenorphine SUBUTEX is different from SUBOXONE because it does not contain naloxone.

Here is the link if you want more info:

I suggest you ask your doctor about it.  Not just any doctor can prescribe it either, they have to have a special license just to prescribe it.  So do your research. Good Luck.

 

 

 

 

Desiderata (words to live by)

/ Lori / 2 Comments

If we ALL could live by these words the world would be a MUCH BETTER PLACE!!!

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

This site is to share thoughts and views with other authors on subjects such as: PTSD, Depression, Bipolar, Substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse and other meaningful topics that we all can learn, contribute to or just utilize as a tool to get to know one another:)

I’ve written my true story on my captivity in Iran during 911.  My book details my childhood of abuse, my four years in Iran living with a terrorist, and my journey home. But the journey had just begun upon arriving on American soil.  But it was one worth taking and fighting for.  I hope we all become good blogging “buddies” and learn, talk but are respectful of one another.  I appreciate you coming to visit.
