Coleiope I hear you.
I'm kind of with Benice. This group is pretty real, and I'd be full of crap if I told you there's "silver linings" to everything, but I care. I can't claim to be on track with successful abstinence, but the road to hell I was on for last 10 yrs is gone from my sight, and I'm thankful for it.

You guys love reading into things. I have a foul mouth, and don't wish to be constantly reminded about not breaking the rules.
Nothing against anyone, I just don't like to feel restrained.
And about the bottom of the page, I guess since I visit this ite on my phone it leaves me logged in for extended periods of time.
English is my third language, and my name has zero meaning. Just a Metallica reference.
I'm an EMT, thinking about changing fields.

Coleiope...we do really care. I'm like Benice..we prolly care too much!
I apologize MilitA..I am sure I read more into your posts that you would like for us too. I'll try not to do that anymore.
I'm too vocal for my own good. A bit much to swallow I know.
Hope everyone is having a great afternoon!

I do love reading into things! Always over-analyzing... looking for hidden meanings...it's an artistic strength and weakness. Sorry Militia. Good luck!
Thank you for caring, friends. Thank goodness for good people. (Including the ones with foul mouths!)

Aww I just logged in and found lots of messages and hugs! Thank you for thinking of me guys! 
I'm feeling better today. Still on benzo emergency dose but no alcohol. Unreal, I slipped one day and I have to go through the whole 3 days detox again...that shows how much I damaged my body with all these years of drinking...
But I'm feeling better today. Still lots of anxiety but I have more energy. Actually I stayed busy all morning, it helps with the anxiety.
I am thinking of seeing a naturopathic doctor. I'm experimenting with diet and supplements to help with the anxiety, but I think at this point I need something better than Google...I don't want to slip again. I don't have the energy for more 3 day long detox...
And I'm doing affirmations during the day...we'll see, it won't hurt to try
Have a great day guys!
ps Argh, I love your posts! Well not when you are struggling, I mean I love the way you speak, foul mouth filter is on here so all I see is lots of stars! lol

If you guys don't mind, I wouldn't mind rejoining this class. I know relapsed quite heavily, but I like this group. Feel like I at least somewhat know you guys, and I don't want to join another class.
Start of day 5 for me, and sober as a baby. It'll stay that way too. Relapsing is an impossibility now. If I have even one beer, that's it... I'm gone on another all day, every day binge until I crash and burn. And if I have to detox myself like that again, I think there's a chance I could possibly become a statistic.
AV was at me pretty decently just yesterday afternoon. Day 4, and it was already at me. I swear, he wants to murder me, so don't think I'll be listening to him much.
patricia, glad to hear you're feeling a little better. Hope you're not beating yourself up too much over the minor slip up.

Glad you're back with us Troy! You are strong and much wiser than some measly AV that wants you to self destruct! We are here to help you punk that mofo out!

Hi everyone . I have a confession to make . I wasn't keeping my word , too much to handle in myblife , not excuse at all but it's so bad . I don't know how can I handle everything what's going on and I just wish I had someone to hold me back as I don't have almost anyone close to me here . Just wanted to ask if anyone would be willing to text me on kik or someone who is willing to support me time after time by sending a kik message I would appreciate it so much. I'm very alone and can't hide it anymore . I will leave my kik id if someone strong is willing to listen to my thoughts or life troubles and hope for the best . My kik user name is erikutea

Van !! Who hoo !! That's SO good. I'm happy for you.
Troy- whaZZAAAP ! Stay with us man. Good to hear from you.
Patricia. I'm so glad to hear today is a little better. More prayers for you !
Gjess I don't know what Kik is, and I'm a tech dummy, but if you're not comfortable putting it on us here, I'll answer up the private message thingee. You aren't alone in it. I'm unhappy for the bad stuff going on in your life, but I'm a believer in a higher power working through other ppl. There's no way I should even be alive to be honest.
I'll listen, and I believe most in our group will too, if you feel like it. Thank you for just being real !

Hi Jess
I have no idea what kik is , but you might want to consider this is an open forum, meaning anyone can read it - you don't have to be a member to read and we're searchable by search engines. And it's there forever - y'know?
After knowing that, if you'd rather remove your ID let me know
I have to ask tho - why don't you feel you can share your thoughts or life troubles here, or by PM?
