| hello friends
Hi everyone, Clancy here. I havent been around for awhile because I wasn't doing so good, and didnt feel very positive AND I fell off the wagon, suprise, suprise. I couldn't seem to get on my feet again after all my plans to go to nursing schoool fell through, then i lost the job I did have, and was VERY short of money and hope. I started using again stupidly, because it gave me a few hours of relaxation and relief from worry in the evenings. Im feeling a little more positive now, I signed up for a photography course which im really enjoying, and I have been making and selling my own jewellery which is alot of fun. Im still broke and using but on a strict reducing program now where my friend is holding my meds for me. Hope it works, I tell myself if I did it once, I can do it again....its hard hauling yourself up again but, ill do it. I hope all my friends here are doing well. lots of love, clancy xx |

Hi Ya Clancy! I for one missed you very much! Slips happen and I wish you would have known that you could always come here and still be apart of the group. I know I support or try to everyone that is trying to make a better life for themselves. Sorry you lost your job,but it did not sound all that great anyway. It brought you down a lot. You'll find something else I'm sure. (((((((((((Huggys))))))))))

| Hi Clancy, nice to meet you. My name is Kellie (an alcoholic extraordinaire) Glad you decided to come back, we are all on the same journey and sometimes it sucks. But we need each other, people need other people. I've been sober 26 days now...i think thats right. I have not been keeping track, just enjoying each day that I am sober. Coming to SR has been my greatest tool in staying sober this time around, it is starting to feel like I may be starting to win the battle with my stinkin' addiction. I want to hear about your jewelry...need a market in the states? |

Huge Hug Clancy !! The thing is you have done it before and you know you can again. Sometimes having our friends monitor our use leads to destruction. So beware. You don't want to lose a friend over this situation. I am however very happy that you came in here and told on yourself. Admitting is a huge thing I knew people in recovery that use again and hide it for years. I am so greatful you did not. You know what you have to do and you have all of us here for support. So give yourself a chance to get back on the welcome wagon. Hope to here from you again.

Thanks for the welcome home everyone! You are all to sweet, I feel silly for crawling off into a hole now....sometimes life is the most enormous battle. Oh yeah my jewellery, I have collected beads and bits of silver, amber,turquoise coral and silver for years, and lots of semi precious stones, so ive been making up necklaces and earings lately,they are pretty chunky avant garde stuff,hippie! its good fun.More difficult is trying to market them, ive been to a few car boot fairs where i have sold them quite well,however i dont charge much, people want bargains at those fairs. I'd like to go to a craft fair where i could charge more like what they are worth,but at the moment im so terribly broke,i dont have the dosh upfront for the stall hire. God,its an absolute nightmare having no money, also you feel really stupid! Imgoing to contact the agencies on monday to see if I can get some care work, i used to do it before, until i went to work oneday with withdrawals and i got busted and thrown out.Hopefully there are different people working there now!!!! I have this grim sense of worthlessness creeping up....I think in a few days i'll be thirty and look at me...an unemployed drug addict.I try to fight that thought off,but it keeps coming back to me as the horrible truth. Also my partner is so pissed off with me that im not bringing money in...Ive tried to make up for it by making the garden and house beautiful but its not enough, he just came into see what i was doing,and he is pissed of that Im on the web when i should be looking for work.Its really hard right now, and ive been so lethargic,falling asleep all the time, the minute i sit down, i fall asleep,weird, cos im not doing anything. Say prayers to the money fairy for me guys,lets hope i get some work at the agencies.Sorry to moan! just feel a bit down. love clancy xxx Oh, hi to all you new guys i dont know yet, i look forward to getting to know y'all! |

Hang in there clancy. You will land soon and things will fall into place. I am quite sure. So dont throw in the towel just accept it for I have found when I accept things life runs smoother. I am only a step away from homeless. My bills eat all my money but I accept it and it helps me to live a bit more a ease. I will pray for you to get some work.. Ok and to the money fairy too. Just do the right thing with it LMAO.
