Thanks.

Tom, I havent the faintest Idea what you are talking about.
Show you how much I know about AA. I think that may not be a good thing.
But thats an adjustable variable.

Gabe thanks,

I goota run. Thanks again all.
Tom I'll be in touch.

Bob, there comes a time when you have to leave the darkness. you have got to be very carefull in the darkness. you have got to pay very close attention to each step. the trail is hard to see and sometimes even disappears alltogether. working your way out of the darkness takes skill, concentration and alot of luck. each and every step is important. you have to be able to take advantage of what ever light is availible to see your way out to safety. Bob stay strong you can free yourself if you want to.

hey all.....
i'm here. still on my boat. i'm getting used to being by myself again. it's sad. my wife won't let me back in and i'm i'm getting independent from the family.
my road trip was great! i have roots up in Big Sur, and Carmel CA.
well, we hiked into a secret hot spring in big sur. i'm outa shape, and hiking in with in-shape bro's of mine who are willing to just get me there. i've got my pooch(golden retriver, my best freind), and we make the most INSANE crazy hike/climb through canyons up to this natural hot spring. i learned alot about myself those two days. it's a heavy hike for hiker's. THERE IS NO TRAIL. it's all by the memory of my bro's. LOVE.
funny that i missed you guys. all of ya. i'm in a canyon, next to a river that only a few people in the WHOLE world know about, and i'm thinking that if i had a computer, i couold share all this with you. how the crawdads tasted, the crikets, it kinda humbles a person.
i am fortunate to have that experience. at the same time i have NOT conquered my addiction to the drink. after my clean stint, the relaplse that some of you know about, has just gotton worse. i'm more calaus, and rationalize every swig.
BUT, i'm glad that i'm back, and know that i'm not the only one. i love this friggen website. i feel more at home reading posts from my fellow peeps, than i do most anything else.
Aloha to all..........

Thanks to all.
Tom, yes it definately applies!
Salt, I have not had time to see if you started a thread,if not keep comin back here. It doesnt really matter as long as your are talking and thinking about it.

Talia,
Thanks, Im doing good. Just real busy. These are my days off and I have so much to do it could keep me busy for a year at least. Pulling up the bathroom floor now! I feel like such a "manly man" ARGG!
Hope you are all well

thanx for the responces.
i had my mariage counseling last night, with my wiff. it went well. he gave us all this paperwork to fill out. i'm sure it works. it just feels goofy to me.
i am the king of flying by the seat of my pants. and, as a drinker, i'm more so. he talked alot about getting into a routine. nooooooooooo..........
i guess i've got to do some growing up. shoot!
how is everyone today?
Aloha

Dan

You too eh! We're real good at that aren't we?
Doing good here SaltMan. Riding a wave of happy thoughts and I ain't going to question it.
Keeping it simple and all that

2dayzmuse

Hi Bob. I hope you didn't fall in? :Flush: Then you'd have to take a Uh oh!!! I see you. Oh no, I just had an image of you father inlaw, in his orange sweatshirt. Oh my??? Hey, I bet yor getting pretty good at this by now. Maybe you can take your act on the road. Sending happy thoughts your way.

Take care,

Talia

Talia,
No, I didnt fall in. Im curious as to why that sickman just horrifies me!!
Maybe I was abused by a stickman as a child and I conveniently blocked it out

Dan,
If my bathroom floor could talk. Ick!

Tom, What ever the 12 in 12 applies. Dont know, havent had time to
look it up yet. But I will!!!!!!!

Salt,
Glad you posted. Now where di d you go?? Are ya doing ok??

Im doing ok mentally. I have a new problem however.Now Im hooked on the
meds(serax) that were to helo me kick Alcohol. I stopped taking them the same time I quit drinking last week. Went to see my MD and he said NO you have to stay on these for now. I'ts a little depressing because Im now on a dosage that just feeds the monkey. I can feel it when I take and I can REALLY feal it when it's time to take another. The withdrawal symptoms seems to be the same or even a little worse than alcohol withdrawal.
But with this, my BP and Pulse dont spike so I suppose it's not as dangerous.
He also gave me Effexor to rake the others place eventually.
I think the side effects of all the medication Im on may kill me before the
actual drugs and alcohol will(kidding)( sort of)
Other than that Im just swell Beaver!

Come on back Salt, we'll do this together huh?
Bob

Great now you tell me. I keep sending you Fred sickman and it keeps freaking you out. LOL. I'll stop now. I like the stickman though, maybe I'm just weird. :bigeyes: I don't like the sound of the med situation. That just seems wrong to me. Kick the alcohol and then a bigger monkey jumps on your back. I think there should be a rule that all doctors must take the meds they prescribe. Oh wait....I think they already do. Never mind. Good luck and take care!!!

I went full circle on my Avatar. I kinda liked Neil looking over my shoulder
"needle and the damage done"

Talia
Bigger monkey indeed! Im not an MD but Im starting to question his treatment
knowledge. Im going to address that on my next visit.
Stick man and clowns. They both scare me!!!
Hope all is well out there.
Salt,
Where the heck are you.

Bob

Dan

Welcome back Neil.

2dayzmuse

My sentiments exactly. Neil belongs in the upper left hand corner. It feels right. I agree about the clown thing. Alot of people are afraid of clowns. I just have a big distain for them. I guess that would be a kinder word for hatred. Why? I don't know, it may take years of therapy to get to the root of it. I just find clowns extremely, unfunny. The goofy hair, clothes, shoes, makeup Ahhh!!! and of course the red ball at the end of their nose. Sorry ...I just cant laugh. I should have put clowns down on my resentment list, gotta run. I have resentments to take care of. Here little boy, would you like a ballon I've twisted in a cute clever animal shape? You can where it on your head. It's fun!!


Clowns Shmowns,

Talia

Disclaimer: To any SR people who work as a clown for business or pleasure, I apoligize for any hurtful remarks. I know how sensitive clowns can be. I seem to always make them cry. Oh, well?

Dan

I knew you'd pick up on the brief welcome for Neil
