Good luck out there! :)

Raider 07-07-2014 07:38 AM

Thanks for being here for me. Yes I did my three last night. I have such low tolerance. Anyway I did manage sleep and I don't have a hang over. I need some space to think about this when I get home. What is this, like 5 day ones??? Ack. Blessings.

Nuudawn 07-07-2014 07:38 AM

Do you want this Raider? Do you really, really want this? Do you want the Pam we have all grown to love and care for? The witty, warm and inspiring woman you ARE in sobriety? Do you have ANY idea how strong your voice is in sobriety?The amazing woman you are without the whiny, self pitying anchor of alcohol?

How could you let alcohol smother your amazing?? You are grand and wonderful without it. But that is something YOU have to know. Do you?

Pondlady 07-07-2014 07:40 AM

I hope you have a safe trip back.

Stoogy 07-07-2014 07:41 AM

You inspire so many people here Pam, you are loved by so many.

HeadLump 07-07-2014 07:43 AM

Welcome home, Pam :hug: We've been waiting for you :grouphug:

i guess for some of us we have to lose our jobs and our money and our homes our family and everything else there is around before we finaly give in

sadly some just dont even give in when they lose it all, i could only wish i had the chance again to of saved some of the things i lost in my life all because i needed drink to help me live
i just didn't know that the very stuff i needed to live on was the very stuff that was going to cost me so much in my future

but of course in the back of my mind was i am different or if i get that bad i will stop

but the fact was i couldnt and i kept on and on

i wish you luck with whatever way you decide to go in life i just hope in 10 years time you dont have a story to tell that mirrors my own

good luck to you

I don't usually comment on these types of threads....but I followed your last one where you described in detail the sweating and bad sleep, train of thought and stopping.

Your nonchalance disturbs and triggers me into thinking "I CAN DO THAT TOO".

maybe I am the exception here, but i hope you can actually see what you are doing.

PurpleKnight 07-07-2014 07:59 AM

Hey Pam, some thinking about the plan moving forward is probably a good idea, I know I want you to beat this thing once and for all!!


You can do it!! :)

biminiblue 07-07-2014 08:05 AM

Please don't post anymore "I can do it so I did nanner nanner" threads.

It's disrespectful of all the people here who struggle every day to maintain their sobriety. If you must continue drinking, at least have the heart to not rub it in our faces continually.

Pam, I think you are better than this. It's not funny, it's not cute. It's sad.

Raider 07-07-2014 08:14 AM

Oh Fandy. I apologize for coming off nonchalant. I don't downplay in my own mind what I have done. If I hadn't been so tired, I would have drank into the blackout stage. Also in the front of my mind, my husband telling me I'm a mean drunk. I don't want to be mean. This is very serious to me. Ok. Time to come clean?? I was so nervous in the car, I had taken a Xanax earlier in the day. It was that, or continue to bitch about my husbands driving for 9 hours. I'm sure that contributed to my exhaustion. Yes this is serious.

Raider 07-07-2014 08:17 AM

Bimini no disrespect intended. Sorry I offended you.

Nuudawn 07-07-2014 08:20 AM

Pam...if you are not up for travelling..if the cabin and car rides are going to be excuses to "not face" things via zanax or alcohol...maybe you need to stay put until you tackle those things first.
