Maybe it's time to hit up daily AA meetings in between the SMART ones?

What's going on Stew?

AnvilheadII 03-18-2018 02:24 PM

step into the light, stew.

Dee74 03-18-2018 02:49 PM

It takes a lot of effort to turn on the lights Stewy but you absolutely have that power.

Make good choices.

Hope you check in Stew. The world was dark for many of us, then we decided to do something about it. You can too.

Opivotal 03-18-2018 04:18 PM

I can relate Stewy, the dark side is an ugly, ugly place.

Once you make a decision to cross over the beauty is endless.

I can't tell you what a relief it is to make that choice.

You deserve happiness and light.

Most addiction centers/rehabs are open 24 hours a day to give a call. You've just got to wave the white flag and get the help you need to end the madness.

What’s going on Stew...? Talk to us, if you can manage it, maybe we can put our heads together and help...?

Lots of good advice here Stewy, as always. Hope you can make the choice to get the help you truly need. You don’t get unlimited chances at this you know.

There's nothing but misery in the drinking life, Stewy. You know that now more than ever. Get free and live the life you deserve.

J50 03-18-2018 06:32 PM

Stewy,

That's the alcohol talking, not you.

Remember that drinking a depressant will make you feel depressed.

In darkness there is light, but you have to take the first step towards it.

Not sure of your music genre, but here's some motivation. You can do it!

I had a tendency to fall into similar relapse cycles Stewey. If you're hungover, and in a dark place. I've spent hundreds of wasted days in agony with poison floating in my blood that my liver couldn't handle.

Take those days, and think about them. How many times have you missed a sunny day to enjoy the weather because you were hungover? Ever missed work?.. The stuff you do to keep yourself fed, and a roof over your head? A week or two of detox does wonders to kick-start at least what feels like busting through a frozen lake from the murky waters below. If you can find a place to detox safely, or find a way to inform yourself, it'll get you started.

You'll realize those hungover days combined have done crazy damage and waste of days compared to the few weeks it takes to get the tough bit out of the way. I'm at the point where withdrawals are less dark than hangovers. If you can go to the doc for outpatient meds, it'll make things easier. Go inpatient if you can... might be able to set a payment plan that keeps reminding you to be sober if you can't pay for it in one shot.

I understand fully Stewy! This hamster wheel is so easy to get on and so hard to get off of. You’re not alone.

Delilah1 03-19-2018 06:32 AM

Anna 03-19-2018 07:17 AM
