Coder, so sorry to hear about your brother. Do you have support nearby? I am very sad for you and your family.

Oh Coder.....heartbroken for your brother and you and all of your family. :hug: s

And re what Pouncer said: we are here for you all the way. :hug: ❤️❤️

Thank you Pouncer, VenusCat

It's good to know you are here. People here understand.

I plan on being in this class starting Monday. Going to see my doc to outpatient detox with meds. I'll report back when I'm successful! I'll also be quitting weed. Luckily I haven't been using it very much recently so that should be so hard in the short term. It gives me anxiety nowadays anyway.

Good luck can'tsleep.. Hope to hear from you soon.

Welcome love....we are with you all the way. :hug: ❤️

Welcome, Can’tSleep. :)

Wow I havent been on here for a while and I must join this class and try this site again....So I recently relapsed after going 3 months. I'm a bender drinker and can usually go for a while no problem drinking ..but alot of the times when I do in turns into several days of just drinking..then withdrawals. This is the longest ive went in a long time but im just feelin blah on Day 3.. I always feel safe posting that here. I can use all the good vibes possible because life has just been heart lately. I lost my father in Feb after years of being his caretaker. And I've been my Moms since then because she is going through cancer treatment as well and as a result of treatment she also was diagnosed diabetic type 1. It's a super rare side effect and of course she got it. It hasn't been easy and I've reaching out for positive thoughts because lately I've been depressed and also pissed at myself for relapsing again. I lost my phone during this time too so now I gotta start all over. I'm also just not feeling great still on top of it all. Sorry for the Novel.. I just needed to vent somewhere. And this is one of very few places I feel safe doing it. Please send positive thoughts and prayers if you pray for my family. This is such an awesome group. Hope u all have a great day. 💙💚
(Ps typed this all on an iPad. Talk about patience haha)

I was my parents' caretaker as well.... :hug: s
So much love and wonderful to meet you. :hug: ❤️

Hi cutengay.. Welcome back, I do remember you from one of the classes I was in but I don't remember which one. I'm sorry to hear about both your parents but I do know that drinking won't help..
I hope you stick around 😊

sorry about your BIL Coder. Congrats on your week tho, nonetheless.

Things seem pretty quiet around here today..
Apart from 1 drink I'm a week down..
I just got back from a Xmas dinner with my partners family and it was all good, I just drank soft drink and it was such a nice time..
It's so good to know that I will wake on Sunday morning sober..

Morning all, lovely to see new people with us (or people I haven't met before).

Day 20 for me.
8.30 am in the UK, so have brought my coffee back to bed for a little lie-in and a catch up with you.

Coder - sorry for your loss, bless you.
Pouncer - hope you're feeling better now
Red - I didn't sleep for the first 16 nights...I've slept better the last 3, so hang on in there.
Venus - your warmth and loveliness shines from all your posts - thank you for being you.
Catch you all later, stay warm (and dry!)
We can do this!
