Glad to see you are doing well, Paddy, just another testament to the power of SR. Reach out and there is always someone there, and then someone will come and read your story and they are renewed.

Keep on going, you're doing so well.

Sounds like you're cleaning up the inside to match the outside.

Each day you are working to make progress--that's all anyone can do.

Thank you friend of Bill, my counselor says I'm the biggest manipulator that ever walked the earth, I even had my housemate go to chemists to get codeine which she duly did.
Until 2weeks later she smelled a rat and admitted i was addicted and had no back pain.
It resulted in a bleeding stomach and low potassium.
Everyone loved me but inside i was a low life scum and I felt it,
He told me that shop sales men were manipulators and to try use it in a more positive way, thats what I'm doing at the moment.

Wow, just read your whole thread... jeez you had a hard time but u it through... I am hopefull I can do the same... I tried cutting away at myself yesterday, not done that since I was a teenager... I didn't do much damage, too scared... but I wanted to slice off all my flesh and disappear. I think they would all be better off without me.. but if u got through it, maybe so can I!
I lived in dingle for a while when young.. a drink fuelled party if there ever was one....also I had.my nose pierced in Cork when pissed!!!! 22 years later, still got the nose stud..... still pissed. .. well 2 days sober! I hope it gets better for u.... I am drying my tears and trying to do something good! X

Hi enfinthechange, I live in the city s o i have no excuse, thank you for reading my whole thread, there s so much to add to it in time when my mid settles.
when this disease progresses to jails, institutions and deathe it's time to take action,
as I said i died on the table 3 times a
was brought back.
Somebody was looking after me,
if you need any help just reach out buddy, I got lots of contacts down this way.
My family have gotten used to this now and wont even be my next of kin sure what the hell I wont know anyway.
i have 111,00 pension that will pay for my funeral.
i wonder if they knew that would they jump to it.
i'll have my funeral payed for and the rest will be donated to Fellowship house in Togher a marvelous secondary treatment centre'
it's easy for me to say dont do but certainly get psychiatric help as they will set u up with a plan,
one thing i will say is stay away from cuan mhuire,
i do believe castle island is a good one and if you have a treatment centre fully completed get your ass into secondary treatment feloowship house,
i worked there for 3 years,
good luck ma chara

paddy, reading your posts I am taken back to my time in Ireland again,
when the biggest compliment my Irish friends would accept was:

"Yeah, there's worse than me, sure"

I think you are helping others by your posts to their threads
and the story evolving on your own.

That's not ego, just life and trying to help others.

My sleeping is all over the place and is driving my housemate crazy to the point she screams at me to wake me up.
i suffer from Sleep apnea and i know it can be quiet annoying.
I have taken to the decision.
to take to the bedroom on her request.
She says she is ringing my GP tomorrow in an angry tone to tell the this, she says it's bad enough living wit an alcoholic , depressant.
I do my best to stay out of my bedroom as it is not good for my depression.
Anyone got any suggestions, i also only have two tv channels in my room.
If she tells my doc this he will reduce my meds thus driving me crazy, i do kno its the meds that is making me lethargic but it's the only thing keeping me sane at moment.

I expect she will cool off by the morning and you two can talk about it.

I started a journal and read novels to pass the insomnia--I expect Cork has
a fine public library system--what about getting some books and catching up
on reading.

If you can't focus on words, maybe some photography or art books?

Ventolin
