I don't like Facebook so didn't want to do that but I felt disloyal to my classmates by staying on SR so I thought the best thing to do would be to get offline altogether.

Anyway, I checked in earlier to see what you guys were up to because I miss you all already and I read some lovely messages and I thought, 'why the heck have I left those gorgeous humans?' And then when I thought about not being here when Canadian Koala reaches one year on 2 December, I cried real tears. Which is embarrassing because I'm at work and it's really difficult to explain to my colleagues why I'm crying about not being around for a Canadian koala's first birthday. Especially when I started to explain that I'm only a month older than the koala.

So now everyone thinks I'm mad but I don't care about that. All I care about is coming back and being part of this thread. If you'll have me, I'd love to come back. I'm so sorry for all the drama. Congratulations to all milestoners and love to everyone. 24 more hours for me please xxx

The withdrawal keeps getting worse. The guilt and shame has become unbearable. I'm sick of it. Either I stop making excuses and frantically searching for someone or something else to blame and learn to take responsibility for my actions and life. The alternative is a miserable death.

I'm going to choose the latter this time, but I don't know next time. So I can't let there be a next time.

No more half measures. No more running. I'm not a scared child any more. There are things I wanna do with my life. I wanna be a person not a hole for alcohol and misery. I want to be an example not a warning.

Sorry for venting.

It's day 5 and I got some much needed sleep last night and seem to be over the worst of the physical stuff. Gotta remain focused. The hard part comes later.

Congrats to everyone and hope you all have a good day.

Feeling very BLAAAAAH today, very anti-social, and just want to be left alone by everybody. It's hard to convey this to people I work with without being rude but I just wish they would pick up on non-verbal's better. Even when I close my office door, they just don't leave me alone. As I type this, I have a co-worker sitting and talking to me....I'M TYPING ON MY COMPUTER, LEAVE ME ALOOOONE.

Ugh. His friend hit a deer so he's telling me about the time he's hit a deer. I really, just, don't care.

I need a vacation.

Have a great day all.
