Thanks.
I'm a disabled guy, indifferent health, no job.
SR helps me as much as it helps you guys.
But..this thread is not about me, or SR. It's about you guys
let's get back to that

I think my recovery started from learning to reach out Bella
Changing your isolating habits can be as simple as posting here
We need to work at least as hard on keeping our recovery active as we did trying to manage our lives around our drinking

My ex bf is a big trigger for me.He is sending me msgs about him being sad i am the love of his life and wants to kill himself and ...! I know that he is manipulating me and nothing is going to happen and i'm not going to drink ,but it still hurts and it is so hard for me.
I spent the last night in ER (kidney infection that does'nt get better) and i really can't handle this right now.I can't believe how selfish he is.

Sorry to hear about your kidney infection, I hope that clears up soon. I worked in an ER, but the day I had to be admitted myself FORGET about it. I didn't want any of those people touching me, lol.
As for your exBF, you're exactly right - Manipulation at it's worst. What I've seen work before in that situation when someone threatens or makes suicidal statements is to call 911. Worst case scenario, he will get the help he really needs. Alternative scenario, he'll stop making threats he doesn't mean.
Just my two cents, for what it's worth.
Get better soon!

Thank you to all who have been sober for awhile and posted for help and encouragement--Dee, Midnight Blue, L Brain, Carlotta, SoberWolf, Headlump, Ultramarathoner (hope I didn't forget anyone). It's comforting and inspiring.
Hi to everyone else--there's a lot of people in just a day's time! We can do this!
Aistar, I hope you feel better soon! That's gotta be painful. Hope your ex boyfriend just stops soon and you can ignore them for now.
Patric--please hang in there. Many caring thoughts your way.

Hello Class of January 2015!!!
I am from the Class of March 2013 and would like to welcome everyone whos is joining this class, whether you are new here or have been here for a while.
I just want to tell you how much belonging to and being active in my class has meant to me.
I live alone and at work I keep mostly to myself, so having a place where I can "talk" is amazing.
By being open and honest here, I've found that I am and was not alone with my problems and have accumulated many tools from my classmates to help me deal with stressful, triggering situations, after all, they were going through the same fears and had the same questions about the future as I did.
As the time passed, we have had new people join us as well as returning classmates, who may have slipped up along the way, and unfortunately some that have left, hopefully, because they feel they are strong enough to continue without us.
I've had the honor and good fortune to meet a few face to face, in fact, one of my Marchers will be in my town next month, so I'm sure we will be able to meet up. When I was able to sit down with these people, it was like seeing some of my oldest friends, we knew each others darkest secrets and knew about each others best and worst of times. Those times were made possible by being active and committed to the class thread.
And if you do slip. please stay here, don't isolate yourself, not one of us has quit the first time we tried. If we did, this site might not have come into existance!
As Dee has already said, this is your class, it's about you and people like you. Use this thread as a tool and try to make the most of it!
Again, Welcome and Stay Strong
