Is it too late for takeaway? Maybe he's out getting that ruby murray jalfrezi stuff .

Or he could be at a CA meeting. That's Chocoholic's Anonymous. I don't think he wanted us to know how serious it was .

Hey stone... when all else fails go to bed.

I heard that somewhere before I think .

Hey stone.... love you brother, hang in there, maybe what you were ready to tell me will pop back in your head. Not to let on but I did get a little lit before I went into detox, why? Because I am an alcoholic, as I have heard said both in and out of the rooms, we are alcoholics and as a result the one thing we all know how to do is drink!!!!

Stone,

Not quite the same here without you. You had us all worried. Hopefully there won't be a next time but if there is, at least let us know you're alive. We care about you my friend.

Morning stone . I hope you're feeling better today.Please don't stay away because of the slip... we need you here. You need you here. You got recovering to do and we have some hands to lend.

stone

Oh well, a one day slip. Thanks for all the messages, it certainly makes it easier to get back on the wagon. I keep away from the forum when drunk as I don't want the Mr. Hyde aspect of my personality that comes out when drunk to have a chance of alienating people.
As far as I am concerned I am still on the road to sobriety and I am glad I have my rehab assesmant tomorrow. Both times I have slipped after 2 weeks sober when the depression has got too much, I hope the rehab people can help with that.

gypsytears

Sure you're still on the road dude . No one can say otherwise. I'm glad you finally have your evaluation tomorrow too. It does seem that depression is a trigger for you... and I'm really hoping they can help you with that.

Tazman53

Well Stone you have your eval tomorrow, they may give you a suggestion on the depression deal.

Trying something new might help.... you know.... hanging out with some sober alcoholics. LOL

Hell you are doing it right now in cyber world and you enjoy us right?

Morning stone!!! Glad to hear your are feeling better today Sure did miss you!

Hi gypsy and Taz, btw I rang AA that night to see if I could talk to someone and some guy phoned me back with a really bad attitude, sort of angry, he didn't want to talk and suggested he pick me up for a meeting the next day. At the end of the conversation he tells me his brother died that day in a way that suggested he thought he had bigger problems than I have. That might be true but he couldn't know that, for all he knew I could have been suicidal. He didn't phone me the next day to arrange the lift to the meeting like he said he would either. I appreciate he was going through a hard time but taking it out on me is not right.
I am writing this as a vent! I don't judge the whole of AA based on this guy who should have had the common sense not to phone people when he is angry.

edit
hi tj, it's good to be here again believe me! I posted at the same time as you so I missed your post.

gypsytears

That's really a shame the person manning the phones didn't have any help or compassion stone. If he was in such a bad way himself, he shouldn't have been on phone duty. I have no experience with this so of course this is jmo. Why don't you try calling again now? Hopefully someone else is taking the calls.

stone

Hi gypsy, I feel better for venting. I only took his attitude because I was feeling down. If I had been feeling myself I would have told him what time it was lol.
I think I will focus on the rehab for now though.
