ArtFriend , That is sooo true ! Yes our animals need us . I have an elderly dog with bad hips . If I wasn't sober enough to give her the care & med. she needs - well I would hate the outcome
Troy , you mention this in your post a lot about your boys . Put the Bottle down & work on your journey to getting Sober for them

It's sad to see you like this. You have a lot to offer, and I enjoy reading your posts. I hope you're able to stop drinking and come back soon.

Thanks everyone, and I truly appreciate. I'll pull myself out of this, one way or another. No real clue as to how at the moment, but I'll figure it out.

And yeah, as Dee mentioned when I say "my boys", I mean my dogs. These guys:



Handsome fellas, eh? They're honestly really good boys too, especially now that they're older and more mature. Back when they were around 6 months, they were little hellions, but good now. You know -- nearly fully grown, but still young enough to be scared of everything and still learning about the world. Not a good combo for a healthy, 30kg dog. They've settled down now though, and are much calmer.

Anyway, thanks again everyone. I'll figure it out, one way or another. I'm tired though, eh? I'm so tired I can't even cry any more. Was thinking about that, as we were discussing it in the August Class thread. I really can't remember the last time I cried. It's been quite a while though.

Anyway... thanks again.

Troy, have you talked to the monks? Is there any meditation you could join with them each day?

Troy, it was really painful reading your OP. I've been there, and as we know its no way to live life. You said you'll pull out of this and figure it out, and I believe you.
And yes, your boys are beautiful. Stay strong friend.

Troy, I know how completely exhausting those feelings can be. But, there is a way out and you know that you can do it. Your boys are so handsome and they sound like wonderful pets. Hold on to the positives in your life.

Hi Troy,
I know...the withdrawals suck. I just did it again Saturday but felt 100 times better yesterday.
Nothing I can say will make the withdrawals better but you know the result is worth it. I'm proud of you Troy, and glad you are here.
Stay close xo

It's not the physical. I can handle those.

It's the mental. Right now it's ok, but I know it's going to be here in hours.

I know how you feel Troy. For me the mental withdrawals were always the hellish part. It's the unrelenting feeling of panic that was torture for me.

The good news, as you know, is that in a few days you will be feeling better. Hunker down and get through it, we are all here for ya.

Cut the chains Troy. You know the solution. Great looking dogs. Cravings and feelimgs pass. The are only as powerful as the power we give them. They are temporary. Sobriety can feeI hopeless at first but its way worth it. Your mind has been lying to you for too long. If your thoughts are too over powering get some help. I wish you the best.

I hate to see you like this!!! I really enjoy your post and insight and I hope that the pendulum turns soon. It doesn't have to be like this.

Stay close. We are here for you. (Handsome doggies!!!)

You've got this Troy... Break the cycle.

You might not think so, but you are strong enough to make this happen. You deserve it.

Stay strong and lean on us as much as you need.

Great looking boys by the way!

Thanks everyone. Should be ok now. Managed to sleep 20 hours today.

Seems to get worse the longer I'm awake, so if I can just manage to sleep through tomorrow, I'll be in the clear. Work can wait. I just don't want the deliriousness to come back, because that's hell.

Anyway, back to sleep. I'm exhausted. Thanks again.
