.. I don't know .. I am about to head out to West Virginia with my tools an chain saws and what not I might need ... generators .. cell chargers ,, etc, for a disaster zone ,, ... I got to go .. is what I need to do ..

Blacky, I've been racking my brain on what to say to you & ttytt, I'm still not sure what to say.
I'm very sorry about the flooding in WV and how it affected you. We honeymooned there and it's a beautiful state. I also love Take Me Home, Country Road.
I know you're scared about your upcoming court date and probably think "wth, I might as well drink since I'm probably going to jail." That's why I'm having a hard time thinking of what to say, because I might think the same way. But, when it boils downs to the nitty gritty, do you want to die a drunk? Do you want to attain happiness some day? I'm not trying to sound judgemental, because who am I to judge? I'm a junkie who put away heroin, methadone, norco and klonopin. Why??? Because I wanted happiness more than anything else on earth. I wanted a "normal" life. Sobriety is something you can attain, if you want it badly enough. Most people here @ SR feel they're a lost cause when they try to quit their doc's, but if you read the success stories, you'll find that what seems like the impossible...getting clean, can and has been done.
One last thing....you need to quit getting into your truck while impaired. It's like loading a pistol with 1 bullet and playing russian roulette, extremely dangerous. Walk, call a cab, do anything but drive.
I hope your arm is okay and you're not badly hurt dear. Love and (( hugs. ))

I just thought of one more thing Blacky. When you feel like drinking, maybe you should post in the newby threads. It's fine to post here too, but a lot more people are awake or in other countries in the newby thread who could talk.

Steely

You're cool Blacky, and it's good to post when things go arse up, or down in your case. Hope you didn't injure yourself badly, but it doesn't sound good. Gouges, bleeding, etc.

I fell down a flight of stairs at my little sister's wedding. I was made to go home next day on public transport, wedding attire, ladders in my stockings, felt and looked like shite, bruises on legs. And my hair was a mess, ho ho ho. My family didn't speak to me for a very very long time. Can't blame them really. The shame, awful. Sandra Bulloch 28 a Days stuff. It was a shocker.

I'm glad you turned around and came back home. Drunken man with a chain saw, not good. Driving too, but you know.....

The stress would be great Blacky...not knowing...maybe gaol? Why not? But when you wake this morning you'll feel like shite, and the reasons why you/we choose to be sober will be clear. IT'S F.U.C.K .E.D! Feels like HELL next day. Oh, woe. Dreadful stuff.

Drinking is one thing Blacky, but you have badly injured yourself, and you were driving.. You would be screwed if you had have been spotted. And other people....and I know you know.

Pick yourself up, clean your wounds, go to doctor if necessary and start afresh, with at least sobriety on your side. And all us here, too.

Just heard on the news that you had a thousand year flood. Incredible. Rest today Blacky, don't go runnin' around with a chain saw. Sober is better, and I know, you know .....

Keep us posted on your well being Blacky, people care. Also the floods. They just mentioned that burning house you saw floating down the river on the news. Don't you go floating down the river....you'll be right Blacky, so long as you don't drink.

I've been where you are right now Blacky, I know how it feels. Big hugs.

Steely

And then there was that time I bounced off a steel pole and broke my sternum, and that other time, and that other time......always.

It's not so much the drinking Blacky, it's the damage we cause to ourselves and others when we do. People who think they have nothing to lose take greater risks, and that's what you are doing. But you have a lot to lose Blacky you are good at everything you do......and you are a good man, and besides you mightn't even get a custodial sentence. Boy, will we ever sledge you then. Really hope your injuries aren't too bad. Rest up. Put some cool jazz on.

Blacky, so sorry to read you're hurting. Sending you good thoughts and wishes to find some peace and relief. Please do everything you can to stop and take care of yourself.

Astro

Blacky, I hope you're OK and all I can really say is that we'll do our best work sober and enjoy our lives more than we would've dreamed. Truth.

I apologize for being absent without a word. Stepped on a cruise ship for 7 days and headed to Mexico, fully expecting to have internet service so I could check in to SR. Nada, zip, zilch. Pretty much off the grid.

Oh well. Ziplining through the jungle canopy in the mountains outside of Puerto Vallarta was craaaaaaaaazzzzzyyyy!!!

We all care about you Blacky. Please check in whether you're sober or not.

Alcohol's not my doc, but I was a wkend partier in the 80's and 90's. I pulled off some of my most stupid and death defying stunts back then. Frankly, I'm lucky to be alive ( & lucky I didn't kill anyone else ) after all the drunken car surfing and drag racing I use to do. I credit God for my life and the life of others.

I agree w/Steely about how multitalented you are Blacky. I hope you recognize that fact and value yourself dear. (( Hugs )) & be safe.

Sounds like a total blast Astro, you lucky dog!
I figured you were on vacation, since you're always around otherwise.

Blacky

.. I am fine .. I did head out with a full tank .. yeah .. but I headed west instead of east .. so when I got my road bearings .. I realized I was impaired and made it back home safely ..
