As we told some of you on the 24-hour thread, Nick had to go to the ER last night. He called me from his hotel and I met him there....I'm pretty good in an emergency, calm, but I was really very scared.
His blood pressure was almost 200 over something....I can't remember.
But it was extremely frightening. This is all part and parcel of what was going on that led him to drink last week....he will tell you more I'm sure.
He is on medication for all of this, but yesterday it didn't work. He may have forgotten to take it he thinks. And it's stressful for us not being together, even though this is what we need to do at this point.
They got his pressure down a bit and the ER doc said he could go. It was really late, maybe 2 or 3 in the morning.
Now he is doing better and is back at his hotel.
I am honestly really depressed....this has been way too much for me.
But that's what happens sometimes ~ life throws too much at us.
I need to do schoolwork and relax a little. And I need an early night.
I wish it wasn't so hot or I would go for a walk....maybe later. Perhaps it will be cool enough in the evening to walk for a while.

Oh my, that must have been frightening for you both!
Iam so glad they were able to bring down his bp.
You are both in my thoughts and prayers and I hope this bump in your road to happiness levels out quickly.
Hope you are able to take a walk later when it is cooler, Suze.
Sending support and hugs,
Croutie

Hey Nick! I understand. I keep saying, "Been there, done that!" Almost died when my bp was 210/130. No shame. Comes with the territory. Just get back on the horse and check out all the links that Dee can give you on relapses, how to sniff out your AV setting you up for a relapse and trying to make sure that this one was the last one. I had my last in 1988. You can do this and SR will help whenever it can. Do it for yourself, Nick! Lock your AV in its cage and let it dwindle away.
No shame! Just "NOW" and as many folks on the rope as possible. You can do this.
Every good wish.
Bill.

P.S. Nick. In retrospect (which I try to avoid) I think that if I only had SR back in my relapse days, then things might have been a little better for me. I avoided AA because I was a so called "high functioning alcoholic" in a professional position and I didn't really trust its being fully "anonymous". So I hit bottom in a relapse and almost died. Then I did AA for about nine years and benefitted greatly from it. I gather that neither you nor Suze are averse to AA. If that is so, then this would seem a good plan, particularly if you have a wise and caring sponsor. In addition you have SR and, as I have said, there are a lot of threads there on Relapses. Dee has quite a collection. I recall putting one or two up myself awhile back There are of course books on the subject. So get back on the horse. You don't have to go back to Ground Zero. Suze knows how to get in touch with me either by Email, phone or PM. Often I try to send you or Suze a PM and can't because I'm told your mailboxes are maxed out.
Every good wish.
Fondly to you both
Bill.

Recovery is not shameful. It is the most heroic of human endeavors. The greatest challenge! Triumph over ones self. The greatest Mideastern or Oriental rugs were woven one knot at a time. I have read that in Persia or in India the weavers often sang as they worked.
Thinking of both of you!
