Best wishes Horn. You have my deepest sympathies having to deal with bankers, they are not there to help. If possible it is always a good idea talk to have another set of bankers lined up to talk to. Having A bank supporting the business might be essential but there are plenty to choose from and it does no harm for them to have a potential bit of competition.

Horn,

Glad to see you are starting over and recommitting to sobriety. Many of us have had issues with anxiety. IME, once I pulled alcohol out of the equation, my anxiety went away.

Root'in for ya!

You can also have a "Friend of Bill W's" paged at the airport for a chat. I'm sure there are LOTS of them/us there at any given time.

Wow Horn, a lot to deal with. Sounds like you already know alcohol won't make it go away.
Those AA #'s you have, use them as much as possible. Reach out...
Do just as you said, minute by minute & day by day, whatever it takes.

Hey Horn

Wow... life's chucked a whole load of stuff at you right now.

Ive followed your posts recently. Having packed in a very stressful job which kept me awake at night worrying how i was going to make a huge monthly payroll and tax bills i completely understand why its easy to roll over and let the AV have its way. Unfortunately whenever we reach for the devils juice we lose out even more. Our sanity stretches further away and our true perspective and thinking on everything becomes ******. You need to hop back on board this 'ere sober bus and take a seat. Belt yourself in and talk to us. Only pop available but you'll get used to it. And eventually it all will start to settle and make sense. Ok?

you absolutely can stay sober Horn - I finally worked out it's a question of how hard I was prepared to work

I gave my all to drinking...I think most of us can look back and say that..

so I had to give my all to staying sober

Y’all are magnificent. I made it through sober. Slept on the plane back (got the upgrade &#128077. I actually feel pretty well. No withdrawals except anxiety. A little shakiness but that’s it.

Wife has been a sweetie today.

I’m getting staples taken out of my head from when I fell getting out of my hot tub a couple of weeks ago. You can infer what you want from that.

Thanks Cara. I was trying to be a bit humorous. As I wrote, gallows humor.
