Just checking in.

I've had a pretty big day. Tons of stress. No drinking. Everyone else was, I worry about them sometimes, it's a slippery slope this life, and every drunk I've met always thinks he's different.

We're all the same hanging over the toilet seat an hour before work.

Not much point to this, just another day surviving. And a pat on the back to all my fellow survivors out there.

Tom.

Hey Tom, I've been thinking about you a lot. I know this has been a really tough week for you with no let up in sight. Unfortunately the only thing that eases this kind of pain is the passage of time- the one thing we can do nothing about. Be kind to yourself. I hear you when you say you are worried about friends and family, but you know very well they are the only ones that can make the decision to change. Concentrate on you right now, your recovery and it is entirely possible that your friends will see the positive changes you are making and it might open the up to what possibilities sobriety could hold for them.
A big hug Tom. Keep going.

You have a lot of friends here Tom - and I'm sure in real life too. It's tough for sure but you're not alone

Tom.... You have a strength that comes through in your posts. Might not sound like a lot but I know others here see it too. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I know that sounds odd. Someone said it to me here a few years back but when I see it in others I get what they are saying.

Anyway... Thanks for the update.

Ken

You've been in my thoughts this week, Tom. As you face this sorrowful time, it says a lot about the content of your character that your message includes words of support for other survivors.

Peace be with you.
