Thanks Dee.

Morning everyone! Ugh - Monday.

Sam, I hope your mood picks up soon. Depression or not, staying warm under the covers is always an inviting thought.

Good luck today PJ. Pictures!!

Good morning! Catching up at work. Gonna take a bit.

Sam - Many hugs. Talk to your doctor.

Purple - Hugs to you!

BatMish!

We had a get together one year, MITA for the superbowl and the electric went out. It was another time that JT performed. With Janet....lol We got to see that. Then the electric went out. Was kind of funny in a sad kind of way.

Have an awesome day guys!

Sending you more love dearest Sam.
I know how it feels when the weight of depression is just too much.
Please know there are people here who REALLY understand.
And we are thinking of you and sending smiles.
It is going to be OK honey.

Thank you! Definitely a day I get to share with all of you. Would never have been possible without this group.

I’ve been absent for a bit and, well, you know why. Still flailing but wanted to check in and let you know that I am more or less OK.

Sam, I’m not one to talk, but I definitely agree with seeing your counselor soon. I don’t know your frequency with her/him though perhaps a little more often might help? You know we’re all behind you and willing to listen if you need us.

Got a haircut today, bbg. A little warmer than 31, about 40F. Feels downright tropical. I hate the going and getting of the haircut yet always feel significantly better after. It’s especially true since I’ve had a tendency to let it get way overgrown towards mountain man standards the last year or so.

You had me worried there BatMish. But aren’t you concerned about us knowing your secret identity now? How you can fight crime and avenge injustice in secrecy if we know?

Happy 20 months Bobbie! You remain an inspiration and someday I hope to have what you have.

You too Dee. Thanks for the new thread.

I feel the same Purps. As if somehow I’m the weak link here. I think that’s normal yet unfounded. We’re all after the same goal and it’s unfortunate but some of us have stumbled. The most important thing is keeping moving forward. Someday, some way it will stick and we’ll live in a better place of sobriety.

Excited for you to get your new place PJ. I hope it’s all that we hope it is for you. You deserve the best after what you’ve been through but more so because you’re a good person and that shines through in each post. Best wishes for an uneventful and easy settling in period.

MITA, Suze, Casey, PR, Lillian and all I’m missing, much love to all. Thank you for tolerating me.

We don't tolerate you 13th ~ we care about you.
I missed you like crazy....I was wondering how you are.
And as for being weak links.....I am going to be blunt. Aussie and all that.
I NEED you...I need every one of you. Wherever we are on our journey/ies we help each other every single day.

I want this for you 13th and I want to give you the benefit of my experience strength and hope for you AND for me....the saying in AA that you have to give it away to keep it is very very true for me.....

So there you go. It is all about me after all.

It's a question that I've asked myself countless times; why? Why drink when you'd rather not? Why not find alternatives, put barriers in place, seek help to avoid what is not inevitable?

The question of why I am an alcoholic is no longer relevant. I am and that's that. So what's it going to take to snap out of it? That's my question. Why am I such a screw up when I know what i need to do? And then don't do it. Why don't I seek help?

I can only conclude that I'd rather drink than be sober. Depressingly sad, but that appears to be the reality.
