Hey guys,
This is really bothering me badly... I don't know what to do. Was it a cry for help? I feel completely powerless to help her.

This has finally tought me what my parents, friends, and girlfriends feel when they see me destroy myself.

If you are reading this please continue to send wishes to her on that thread.

Thanks,
PR

Unfortunately PR.. There probably isnt a whole lot anyone can do for her except offer support and love.
She has to do it herself.
I just hope she has someone around her that can at least keep an eye on her.

CarolD

Yes...it is sad to see others in pain
let's hope she will return soon to read
the concern and support.

BT usually stays away for awhile
after she posts.

We all have to take action to recover.
I do hope she will this time.

PurpleReign

Carol,
I did all that I could and I can't do anything else.

This stressed me out so bad that I called AA hotline and having a member pick me up for a 7am meeting.

This disease is such bullsh1t!

CarolD

Excellent plan PR!

I got my AA ride at noon today...
our AA fellowship is aweome.

PR...

I hope my PM helped a little. Many of us tried to end it all..

The NA Big Book calls most of them "feeble attempts"

a crying out for help. But many die.

We must let go of the outcome ..and pray for her highest good

and safety. She has her own angels...and Higher Power..

All you can do is to take care of you! A hard task..we alkies are

sensitive and have so much love inside..

A meeting? Excellent!

Love,

IO

Aysha

PR..You are awesome for being so concerned.
What a great quality of character that is.
Glad you are going to a meeting to help with your own stress.
much respect to you.

PR,
we do what we can...and then, those of us who think it helps, pray.

I understand your concern, I think Lost Child gave a brilliant post, it upsets me too, but in the end we must return to the Serenity Prayer.

hugs!

Hey PR, as someone who has tried to take my own life, this really helps me understand the pain I caused the ones I love. I don't even know this person at all and my heart goes out to them. You did all you could, hopefully everything will turn out OK. Take care bro.

PurpleReign

Please continue to pray or mediate for her...

I think my purpose on this green earth has finally been revealed to me.

Before I continue I'd ask that you all head to her thread and continue to offer support, she may be reading and I'm not prepared to give up on her...so at this time please head to her thread and offer continuing support.


***Please only continue reading if you've already visited her threat to offer support.***


Have you done so?


After having done so, I hope, I'll let you know that I start my own personal journey to recovery tomorrow morning. I finally think I've been given the task to save others from this fire.

At one point I told a girlfriend I might have to leave her for the priesthood but I couldn't quite understand what I was doing. I was willing to give my house, my savings, my retirement, and my life to God. But something stopped me. I won't go into how it happened but I will tell you that God just let me know that it wasn't His will for me (Thank God!)

- Have you visted her thread yet? It's Big Trouble, the alcoholic section, title is "this is not good." Please go there now if you haven't yet.

I've found that my duty in this crazy world is to bring sanity to the insane, and me being insane at the moment yet able to think this out is truly a miracle. I think I may be called by God to save these souls, and the only way to do so was to dig into these caves and see how it was to live a life as they did. So here I am, scratching to get out, but when I do - I will redeem every addict and alcoholic within God's will.

Morning Glory

All the support is appreciated, but I would just like to add a word of caution that not everyone should go read threads that have a topic of deep depression and suicide threats. This is the newcomer's forum and the best thing for newcomers to focus on is their own recovery.

The forum does not provide appropriate support for suicidal depression and any member who feels suicidal should seek professional face to face support immediately. We are a peer support forum and cannot provide professional help for those who are in crisis.

Some of our members have been very triggered by these threads and I want to encourage you to continue with your recovery and stay away from threads that might trigger a strong emotional reaction.

Thank you all for all your concern and all the support you give to others on the forums.

Hugs,
MG

PurpleReign

Thank you MG, I never thought of it in that way.

Please follow MG's advice and help only if you feel you are able.

IO Storm

Thanks so much MG...

These triggers bring such a rush of emotion...and combined

with the powerlesness to physically move to help...is so

hard. Please take care Purple..please try to calm yourself.

Keep posting.

Love,

IO

IO Storm

P.S. ..

This is one of the reason's why I tend to stay in Newcomer's,

Spirituality and Other Groups and Forums for now...

Recovery is selfish in that if there IS no you, you won't be

here to help anyone else.

Love,

Hugs

Thanks MG for your great post.

Dealing with this topic is difficult for everyone and it should always be a personal choice as to whether or not a member chooses to read.

The support that members give here is phenomenal and I know we all continue to send our prayers to the BigTrouble.
