If he attempted something you won't hear from him for a while. It's a minimum three consecutive business day period of observation and the day you arrive doesn't count. If he just threatened on here he may be reading our posts so I would encourage everyone to ask him to make himself known because we care about him. The last option well, I hope not.

I'm with you. I don't feel good about it.
I'm pretty angry about it. I'm trying to resolve it. Stuff like this is to be expected in a community like this, I guess. But that doesn't mean I can resolve it that easily.
Someone jumps the lifeboat in the middle of the night. Quietly drifts away...
Is there meaning in it? A lesson? WTF? Do we just stare blankly in each other's face and wonder about his family? Knowing that we will probably never know what occurred, or didn't occur?
Ah, just a name on a screen. Robzoloft. Like a disturbing novel that ends causing unease rather than resolution. Is that it?
What do you think Taz? I'm at a loss.

Warren all we can do is pray and wait. Times like this are when I am really thankful I have been through the steps and have been sober a little while, not sure how I would have dealt with this early on.
On one hand I am worried, on the other hand I want to spank him for leaving us to worry.

sad, trying to hope
I'm not sure what to say here. Rob's posts were often so insightful, and if he's gone, it would be tragic. Has anyone had any personal contact with him in the past? I will be praying for him especially today.
With tears,

I had a girlfriend whose father killed himslef when we were 10. It was awful. And just this past year, one of my gallery representatives killed herself and left a 12 year old boy behind. I've struggled with feelings and urges surrounding this my whole life, since I was 14. Whenever someone within my orbit does this, I feel so angry. I've made an absolute solemn vow to never intentionally leave my children and my husband or my mother - all of whom would suffer. I will never do this. Never. I have taken the option off the table. But it is still difficult and something I have to talk back to the urge still. Especially when someone else does it or tries. I feel jealous. That's the stupid thing of it all. I'm embarrassed to write it. And I feel angry and resentful. And so ashamed. I probably shouldn't be writing all of this, right? I'm sorry. (To the moderater - I don't mind if you delete it. I would understand.)
I'm working on my 4th step in AA - listing my resentments. So, I guess this goes on there.
I prayed for Rob a lot last night. And now again. Let's hope he is getting some help and then will come back and let us back into his life.
Ergh. I'm breathing. I'm breathing.

this is the true meaning of what you call a true awakening
this could of been me or anyone else I guess this is
and awareness to reconsider our path to this great gift
and journey of sobriety to make all the meetings possible
and to take this disease very seriously!!!!!!!
