Yes, 6 months on monday. I love that it's "labor day" here in the U.S. !

Hope all is well with you R4R! Sounds like you are making some really good choices for yourself!

Hello to everyone else too!

I've got vacationitis once again as I'm taking a week off on september 10th. I still have more than a full week of work left but I can't focus on it to save my life... all I can think of is... beach! Oh well, I suppose THIS too shall pass. :)

God Bless!

Hi R4R, Thanks, missed you guys too! Good to be back :)
Have a great weekend.....Just saw Clint Eastwood and his imaginary chair friend and thought I must have been back on the booze, but no, it was real! All fine :)
Just went to the gym, off for a walk now and a gig tonight, so looking forward to not doing much tomorrow! See you all soon

Thanks R4R and INH :) So nice to hear from you both! Do you have a date for going back home yet INH? x

How's things Kapuka?

I'm jealous of your upcoming vacationitis Job :( I have a few nice things planned this month but most of all I think I could do with a massive break from work. But it will have to wait.

KaPuka 09-01-2012 04:25 PM

Actually I just found out today that I might have a date for leaving my current country but I might not be going back to the states after all. I don't want to pull a "poor me" moment but I am not happy about that. from an outside perspective going where they want to send me is a great opportunity for me. I just don't think that it is something I can handle and don't see it helping me in this particular struggle. I know that I am being intentionaly vague with the following statement but it is almost Ironic where I might be going. Well anyhow the jury is still out and I am waiting for confirmation but either way I should be leaving my current location this month, quite possibly the 23rd. I will keep you all posted. Either way, I think that I am going to ask to go to alcohol rehabilitation. I know that I read in Rational Recovery that you should not admit to being an "alcoholic" because of the modern stigma surrounding the word, but I don't see me doing this by myself.

But I am starting to rant again and this is not my personal thread (in fact I stopped doing that mostly out of shame of failing again and again though I know I shouldn't feel that way)

Anyhow you all have a good one and ust know that I check in from time to time to see how y'all are doing and am glad of the positive posts that I do read. Sorry that I can't contribute to that, not yet anyhow. When/if I can you all will be among the first to know.

Sorry about that guys (ah the times when I wish there was a delete button on posts)

InsertNameHere 09-06-2012 04:53 AM

Well I am going to try to climb out of my "pity party" hole, and give today another shot at being day one. I will let you all know how that goes. I am taking small comfort from the knowledge that eventually this will pass, I just keep repeating that in my head.

I think rehab is an idea well worth considering INH.
best of luck today :)

InsertNameHere 09-06-2012 06:52 AM

Yeah I am thinking so as well at this point I wanted to avoid that if possible but as you and others have told me before, if I keep doing the same things over and over again nothing is going to change.

Well I may disapear from the site for a little while. I finaly reached down and grabbed a pair and turned myself into my command for rehab. I am not going to lie I am about as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs right now. The wheels are in motion now though and there is nothing that can stop them. I will let you all know what is going to happen whenever I find out myself.

hypochondriac 09-06-2012 12:44 PM

INH! Hi :) I'm so upset with myself that I missed your post yesterday! I am glad you're headed for rehab. I think the bravest and smartest thing you can do is ask for help when you need it.

Are they at least sending you somewhere where AA meetings might be accessible? I think you've been out there on your own for a long time, that whole group thing might really help x

Really4Real 09-06-2012 01:23 PM

Hey..... two months today my friends!

INH.... you'll get it - but get it anyway possible... even rehab or detox. AA isn't all that bad... there are some pretty neat people there.

Hypo... why were you so upset with yourself?

How's everyone else?

hypochondriac 09-06-2012 01:29 PM

Wow, 2 months already! Well done R4R :) x

I was just annoyed cos I was on here yesterday and didn't check this thread... it has got pretty quiet here but it is nice that people still come back here x

jobei 09-06-2012 04:42 PM

Way to go R4R! Well done!

Jeni26 09-06-2012 10:23 PM

Hey, R4R, you are a star!! Well done you!xx so pleased.

INH-that is a really positive step, please keep posting and let us know how it goes. Thinking of you lots xx

Dee74 09-06-2012 10:28 PM

congratulations on 2 months R4R :)

Good Job R4R!

Really4Real 09-07-2012 11:53 AM

Thanks guys! Congrats on your 6 jobei... think I forgot...

I like the phrase anything is possible with God. I'm living proof. Stopped drinking... coming miraculously back from a breakdown. Life may not be good all the time, but it's still life. I can choose to live it any way I want. But living sober makes me happy - not to mention those around me are happier too :)

Jeni26 09-07-2012 02:01 PM

R4R-reading your post made me so happy, Thankyou.
You have struggled for so long. Hearing how you are stepping away from that is awesome. You have such courage xxx
