(Not So) New - Frank's Thread Part 4
Hi Nest, I'm okay but I just don't trust myself. I'm not drinking, but I don't know what the future holds. I guess that's where the 'one day at a time' phrase comes in. Just sick of the battle. My life has become this war with alcohol. It's ridiculous. Oh well. Thanks for asking and listening. How are you? What could low blood pressure be caused by?

Jen I just don't understand why people just don't let the Flags alone . In the end no matter what they do , there will always be people that don't like one or the other Like Presidents

Oh I always get my invoices and work done perfectly and on time, I get A's at university too- its after all that is done I collapse into alcoholism
I know, right? Life is going really well....I know, I'll ruin it with alcohol - again - there's a genius idea!!
Nesty, a kiwi is the brown flightless bird, and that's what the people of the country are named after. And if that wasn't confusing enough, there's also a fruit called kiwi fruit. Frankly, I'm surprised anyone has heard of any of this stuff at all. I doubt you're the only one confused by it :-)

Thanks for clearing most of that up Shabby Whewww .. We're called Rednecks * I hate that !!* To me it just doesn't sound right . I'm a country girl , don't mind too much if I'm called a Hick
Not going to Harp on the affects of alcohol , cause I don't like it done to me . I just know the long term health problems . Once your body's damaged Bad , sometimes it can't be fixed

I do the same, things are awesome, life is good; yet alcohol seems to be my Achilles heel.
My alcoholism is always there.
Yet I'm one of the only people who knows it, everyone thinks I'm fine, and I guess I am in some ways- but I'm the only one who really knows how deep rooted it goes.
The early days are not easy.
Not long ago, there was a conversation here on SR about the battle and the surrender. I'll try to find it. What helped me was not to look at surrender as losing. Instead, jumping off a sinking ship and swimming toward a steady, stable one. The swimming part is where you may be at right now, Shabby. But look at it this way: As long as we're not drinking, the hardest part is behind us.

I was a bit proud of myself tonight though.
One of my staff is also an old friend- she has a cocaine and alcohol problem.
I dropped off a guitar I had tonight for her gig.
There were a few people there and they invited me to sit and play/ sing for a bit with them, I really wanted to because I've always had a safe and fun time with that crowd ( folk/ blues musicians) but I knew I'd just end up drinking 3 bottles of wine and banging a bunch of stuff up my nose so I left.
I haven't hung around that group in a long time and I don't have a drug problem (never have) but I don't want to acquire one, its only a matter of time.
Anyway, small victory

It's actually really good to be reminded of that, Nesty. I should think of my health more often. My liver must be in a pretty bad way by now.
I would only think of someone as a redneck if they were racist, which I am absolutely sure you are not. I don't think of everyone in the South as rednecks, myself. Not at all. I feel deeply touched by the way people in America have healed after the civil war. I know it isn't perfect, but there are a lot of positives, and a lot of genuine love, forgiveness and compassion between the races. I think it's good to focus on that, without ignoring inequality and prejudice. I hope that isn't too political for the forum :-)
Jen, at least you don't have lots of people knowing you have/had a big problem with alcohol. It's so embarrassing. Quit while you're ahead :-)
