Still posting. Still sober buddy.

Frank, if I remember correctly, you live in California.

In addition to the number Dee provided above, it looks like there are helpful resources here, including ones that are available 24 hours a day:

COD Hotlines: California Alcohol and Drug Programs

Thank you, Dee. I've done that before. At least I could talk to someine there, which is about all I want, just to talk to someone.

I get that mate. Sometimes the loneliness is like a female dog. You do know that all the usual suspects are still here and should be popping in shortly? They sure are going to be glad to hear from you mate. All in your own time. We are still here.

Frank, can you sign into the chat room? I'll go sign in and wait to see if you show up. I'll hang out there for about 10 minutes. I see that you're still on.

Okay. But since you really need to interact with us, you should get rid of Chrome and get IE or Firefox or something soon. We want to help you, dude. We really do.

I recall a while back when you were attempting sobriety, you said your hallway looked like a bowling alley with all the empty bottles cause you were embarrassed to take them all outside and to have them be seen. Did it get that bad again?

How far did you get in sobriety before you fell back into it and into old patterns?

The bowling alley was a joke, but I'm flattered you remember.

You said you wanted to talk but you didn't answer my question. It's almost 1 am here so I won't be on much longer. Talk about how far you managed to stay sober before you went back to drinking.

So why are you reaching out now? What makes it worse now than all the weeks between when you stopped posting and now?

UGH!! You wanted to talk and sounded desperate. I'm just trying to draw you out. It's bedtime for Bonzo. I'll check back in on you tomorrow. Don't be such a tease. If you want to communicate, do it!!
