Can I drink tonight just to forget myself for an evening? Please.

Delizadee

Can I hop on your boat with you? I'm going to burn mine and let it sink.

What'sa matter my friend?

Spacegoat

Of course. I would encourage you not to make rash decisions for my privilege however.

Edited my post from whatever I said initially cause don't know what to say even. Sorry

Talk to us.

What's going on? What's on your mind?

We are here to listen and support you.

No, you can't. It will make tomorrow worse.

Bruno1979

Nah. Don't do that.

So the challenge is letting go. I'm guessing its something that, at this point, you have no control over. Sooo, do you have faith? If so, give it over to a power greater than yourself. What have ya got to lose? If you don't, do what you can, and still, let it go. How? By accepting that things simply are. And that's ok. Then? Go for a run, walk, hike, yoga, bike. Move, sweat, forget. Shower, eat, go to a meeting, read, watch TV. You will not regret NOT drinking.

Hang in there. This too shall pass.

I'l have these same problems tomorrow. And in a decade much like previous ones.

All I hear is AV.

Try to detach, play tape, use all the tools learned here. This is your life!!! You can make it how you want it.

Have you tried urge surfing?

Hang here while craving passes.

Do you recognize your AV?

Hey Goat! You know if you wanted to drink - you wouldn't be here. What's up?

Gilmer

We're standing with you, Spacegoat.

Spacegoat

No it's not. Something was unfolding naturally this week which has brought my abandonment rejection and fear of intimacy issues to the fore so rapidly that I spooked and basically cheated myself out of anything good (for now, shouldn't abandon hope, feel hopeless though)

I dunno. It's kinda complicated and super personal too. I would explain myself bit better but like I said, I'm just so pissed off and unhappy. Tthough I hide it well. I hate this ****! Some of you will probably understand me whereas others won't. Anyways, thanks for listening.

"No you can't drink, not an option anymore, that boat sailed and your glad it did. Drink stinks, it's vile, destructive poison, makes you feel like hell, spoils your health, looks relationships, finances................"
Just a slice of my fight back when I feel like drinking. Hope it helps.

Is it something you can change? Or something you have no control over and need to accept?

Drinking is a dead end street and we all know that. Ducking out of your own life, even for a day, is regression. You don't want that. Let's stay in the now.

So, how can we help? Want to share about your situation? If not, that's OK too.

Just figure out if it's something you can change. If so, let's work on a plan. If it's out of your realm of control, let's work on acceptance.

Delizadee

Lol I was all like, dangit he changed his original post.
I think you should adopt my attitude my friend.

Don't drink. Just throw childish tantrums all week instead.

Man, it's been a crap week.
We're here for you no matter what.

Delizadee

By the way I've passed the pissed off stage and gone straight to f it all.
I want to drink right now too.
But I'm not and I won't. Come join me for Chinese food. We can be all pissy at our food.

least

Please don't drink, no matter what.

SnazzyDresser

Maybe change the frame, where you get to enjoy the privileges and blessings of being sober tonight.

Spacegoat

Thanks Gilmer. Good to see you again!

Hey Bobbie. Aw look it's a long story this one, to explain anyway. Kinda interesting though.

Not going for the beer. Legal sales time has passed which was stressing me more even, wtf.

Sorry for hassling ye. Have much to be grateful for today but some things I dunno seriously.

Bobbieka

Well, hugs to you. You're one of my favorites - that means you're special. Hang in there. I might understand a little bit. You're never a hassle.
