Johnnyboy

hi,

i need someone to talk to as well. I've been getting back into my habits with a vengeance. I hope you are feeling okay, i know how it feels to be down on yourself. You have a choice, remember that. What is it that put you back in bed with a bottle? have you been having a rough one?

xXBacktoBlackXx

i just found out this guy that im dating used to be in love wit his best friend whom hes still best friends with...i dont want to hear about their last hook up WTF why arepeople so ******

RyansTryin

thats a crappy situation. do you think he's chating on you with her?

xXBacktoBlackXx

no but WHY TELL ME??? WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU HOOKED UP WITH HER IN DECEMBER??? MY HEART IS BREAKING

RyansTryin

i dont know what his motivation is. maybe he feels insecure and just wants to make you feel the same way. just a theory though. you shouldnt hurt yourself for his actions though. by the way, amy winehouse kicks ass, great voice

xXBacktoBlackXx

thank you i love amy winehouse i relate to all her heartbreaks

RyansTryin

well then i'm sure you know that tears dry on their own, right? stay strong and be kind to yourself. your bf's actions are not your fault. i have to go to bed for now, but stay in touch. im new on here and dont really know anyone. contact me whenever

xXBacktoBlackXx

This is why you quit drinking and work the steps. You get the benefits of promise 11 without even asking.

"We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us"

That way we can deal with life when it feeds us a S**tburger. All drinking does is help you to lose control of your emotions. It exagerates your peaks and valleys, your peaks get higher and your valleys get lower. If anyone is willing to listen I'm sure there are several on this board that know a way out of this mess.

xXBacktoBlackXx

i know...i know what you mean its just i feel like im not capable of handling this life...seriously whenever im in love its just miserable but i cant live without love. this is destroying me

Pinkcuda

Precisley why you drink. You drink because you can't handle life and you can't handle life because you drink. It's kind of an ugly rut to be caught in. There is a better life out there for you. That I can promise! It can't be done while alcohol is in the mix. It is in control and you're not. Alcohol doesn't seem to care what kind of life you have. If you care, you know what you need to do.

xXBacktoBlackXx

thank you honestly i just think i cant handle the human experience

The human experience IS hard you are right...but it's also very beautiful and full of miracles. When I was drinking I could only see the bad. And drinking ensured that I was not physically, mentally or emotionally able to cope...recovery has meant I am not only able to cope but also on the whole live a very blessed and beautiful life. THe choice is ours to make.
Good luck!

Hi b2b

sorry you're having a hard time
I have absolutely no advice to offer with relationships...

just that life is hard and difficult and sometimes cruel...but drinking makes it worse not better. I promise you that.

but I think you already know that

Welcome back, b2b!

"why arepeople so ******"

Because they are, thats why! Sorry about your bf, but I can guess you have not been dating him very long to have just found this out. If you really like him, then tell him, in no uncertain terms, that you really dont want to hear about his past exploits. If he has any respect for you, he will stop. If he continues, then theres your answer. I'm old school, but in my book, if you like a gal, and want to make her happy, then it's about HER.

As far as drinking, Hey, very few of us here get it right the first time, (ask me how I know, I'm still a work in progress, been here almost 2 years). But I keep coming back here, to old friends and new, each time (hopefully) a little wiser.

Stick around, keep posting, and try to stay away from our evil pursuer.

Best,
S

You can talk to me, what's going on? Have you prayed today? Reaching for us is a great step in the right direction. Do you have a sponsor, is there a meeting you can go to in your area this early?
