OK stone...I went back and spent some time searching your old threads....i wanted to find out something about what might inspire you to believe you can stay sober.....I realized that is something I am not going to know...It is the part of this disease that I have never understood...what makes us able to take that leap of faith an believe that sobriety is a possiblity for us.
Please look inside yourself and find that you that believes and has sobriety...as a fellow buddhist (sorta anyways) you willl probably get this even if you are drinking....time is a human construct..the sober stoney of the past and future are both right there with you now....please reach out to them and let them in the moment.
And I did find this one thing that i thought might reach you now from an old thread
TS Elliot…this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper
After thought..i realized that this thread really is about you stoney so I need to honor the purpose of this thread and continue to reach out to you.
Thinking of you this morning (((((paul)))))

it is hard to reconcile the thoughts that this could be my last ever drink with the 'one day at a time' approach I have to use to quit.
I tried a major binge to say goodbye to it, that didn't work, I think it's better we just end with a little whimper.

When I first started posting in 'Bottoms' I was curious about what it was about...I soon found out that it was a place for some goofy friends to hang out and provide some good support mixed with some comic relief. So I started to hang out here sometimes and try to be a part, but I did look up the first post and thread #1: http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...4-bottoms.html
Stoney...you are a most gracious 'host' here on the this thread that you started because you want to change.
I care about you and hope you will drop by soon and get back onto a better path.

Hi to all the new peeps here 
.
Still cleaning out the garage and going through those toys
.
I went to yoga this morning and I'm wasting some time here waiting for the boys to get home from LL.
Also, researching the best way to bring those irises over to the new place. The best way would be to dig them up and transplant now... I wonder if the old woman that lives there now would mind me digging up the yard
.
My hard drive was clicking last night so Mr. GT stuck it in the freezer and is working on my laptop. I'm afraid I may lose everything on there. There's not much important stuff... except for the zillions of pictures I have. I hope he can get them saved. Yes... I've heard of backing up. I learned about it when Carrie's computer died on SATC. I did not learn HOW to do it however.
So... I may not be on much, if at all, for a while. I cannot use the kids computers... the keyboards all stick and it's gross just being in their rooms for an extended period of time.
Know that I'm thinking about you and missing all of you idiots!
Back to cleaning. *sigh*

.I think it's a good reminder for Stone to re-read what he started. I remember what Bottoms was all about in the beginning because I was here... but not everyone knows, as you found out.
Still here, and still caring babes. Please don't give up.

gypsy...Just go to Control Panel and choose Systems & Maintenance and you will see what you need to do right there....I need to do that on my pc too. I have made recovery discs but that doesn't include other stuff I could lose in a crash...(at least I don't think it does)

A WOMAN'S POEM :
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh ! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
Knows the answer to "how big's my behind ?"
I pray that this man will love me no end,
And always be my very best friend.

Stoney...
You are going to make it. You have to make it. You've made it this far..
so many times. Maybe you feel like you've done all you can, and there's
nothing else to give. Maybe, you've really just given up, and you are here
because you think "all of us" want this for you. I don't know what you feel
or think. But..I do know this.
You have to make it. Because we won't let you go.
You see..we've grown to love you, Stoney. You are are a part of us.
You are family.
Our concept of God is different, hun. We've talked about it..and that's O.K.
So I, for one, am not letting you go without a fight. I am praying for you.
A lot. And I sure hope it messes up your drinking, babes.
I sure hope you get around to reading this...and know I love ya.
