As The Jack Ass Turns Part 1
some of you know my roomy has been active for too long, yesterday was bittersweet. i was sit'n at my puter just before head'n out for a meets... phone rings, yep, it was the now internationaly know "Slipper" ... yes, my old sponsee thats been slip'n and slide'n a lot... he ask's, you busy, i say what now... a voice of some pity, some whine, some desperation, and some reaching out reply'd... pat, i'm sit'n in my car outside the ER... a friend of ours just went through the door... i said never mind him, whats up... the slipper said, i want to go in... well, DO IT! ... he starts make'n excuses ... i said, to myself, nows the time to think with your head, not your heart... before i could say anything more, he hung up... i got in my car, drove there, and found him in the driveway, with another reovery friend talk'n to um... i got in the car, the AC was on , it was freez'n... this dude was stil sweat'n, shake'n and look'n like hell... the smell of booze was overwelming... our friend said to him, look out the window, look! ... through the windshield all we could see were the big letters... EMERGENCY... Hmmm? he said, see those letters, if this is not a emergency, what is... you drove yourself here, you must of had a moment of clarity...your here, not 20 feet from help, and the chance at a new beginning... after some real lame excuses, some kick'n and arm flail'n he agreed to go in... we check'd him in... the nurse ask'd him if he was suicidal, reply, i do not want to live this way anymore... the big Whew!!! i was think'n... this will keep him at least 15 days, not the 3-5 for general detox at this facility... he was get'n agitated... wanted to leave...i said, you ass... my dead girlfriend said that, you want to go say hi to her?... well, security came, {one way to get taken care of fast} escorted him to the holding tank... i said, i love you, you will be ok, and by for now... Ah! what a releif, plop, plop, no fizz fizz... i can have a night of peace... WRONG!!!... i went to my meets, stop'd by nan's for some of her kick- butt home cook'n and came home...
forgot to mention, after my meets, was splain'n the slipper episode to my sponser, before i left, he ask'd, so what are your plans for tonight... i said to have some peace... big-foot said, dont be so shure of that... YIKES!!!... he said after he checked his dead girlfriend in, she bamboozeled her way out! ... not what i wanted to hear... so its 10 pm now, do you know where your slipper is? .... i hear a voice at my bedroom window... yep, the slipper... he asks, please give me my keys... WTF are you do'n here i ask? i said slipper, heres your choice, go back for help, or its another episode of cops... click, click, i saw that episode... well, i dial 911, cop'r's are on way, he splits/... they come, i give um the low down... they ask, was he threaht'n your life... i say, well yes... im in recovery, and cant live this way anymore... they kinda understood, but the law is the law was reply... i get a call from officer Fitzasshole, he said they found him down the street, aressted him, and took him off to the clink... another call, were come'n by in 15 min. to get his wallet... ppfftt, he did have enough sence of responsibility to give me his debit card and pin # to take $$$ out for rent, well not now, i was asked if hes allowed back in the house... my reply, NOPE!!! not unless he gets help... well, i guess he was a make'n a real fuss at the jail... Fitzasshole called me back, and said he's back up the hospital in the loony ward... he will have to be escorted by the cops, to retreve the rest of his belongings... so thats how i stand as of right now... will keep you all imformed to another chapter of "As The Jack Ass Turns"
and please, i'm just being a little lighthearted about a very serious subject.
My Sobriety First!!!... its hell living like this, and right after i lost my loved one ta-boot!
all good wishes, and give only love............... pattee

I am so sorry to hear about this stressful situation you are experiencing. Alcoholism takes the people we love and it hurts us so much.
Is there anything you can you do today to help yourself feel a bit better, or at least get your mind off this for a while? I find that talking to others is really helpful when I am depressed and frantic.
There will be a lot of helpful advice coming from other members. Hang in there.
Keep coming back.

ya know, i learned EARLY ON in my recovery --->
When things SERIOUSLY SUCK (and they often do cuz that's life!)
and EVERYTHING is out of your control even MORE than usual and the only choices are 1)cry or 2)laugh and crying is getting OLD and besides that, makes your face all red and puffy and gives you a headache from hell ------- LAUGH and stay sane and SOBER.
There's a whole lotta hospital + law enforcement people who think i'm 1)a cold-hearted binch and 2)crazy. SO?? I'm also S-O-B-E-R! (grins)
Hang in there Patty, it gets different.
