Hi john
I'm sorry you're dealing with that.
I empathise - it sounds like a day more common here than you'd want to believe for forum staff.
Lets try and remember we all want the same thing - you to be sober and happy.

That was my Monday. How about you? John

Hi John - this thread is going to go nowhere if your current mode of posting continues.
Ironically you're mentally stuck on past posts I think, because there's nothing in this thread that should upset you this much,
if you have a specific problem with a particular member PMing them is probably best, or you can approach Anna and me.

We all have a lot of crap to deal with in our lives - i'm sorry to hear you had a difficult day today, but that's really not the point. If you are truly being open and honest you need to first accept what the real problem is - that you are still drinking alcohol. I'm not here to argue who had a worse day or anything of that sort - I'm here to stay sober and help others get there if I can - just like Dee and Anna and everyone else. Listen to the advice they and everyone else here is giving you, we do understand believe it or not.

John - you've been pretty silent for a couple of weeks. I believe your plan was to quit sometime last week, were you able to make that happen? Holidays are certainly a tough time of the year for all of us but I wish for you to find the resolve to quit. And if you have I hope you can come back and share, there are a lot of people here who would wish a sober Christmas for you - I know I do.

2much, I can completely relate. I've been a member since December 2012. 7 years of posts. I was reading some old posts of mine recently and it's the same story over and over. I feel like Bill Murray's character in Groundhog Day. I've been in 'Groundhog Day' for a decade.
I've made some nonsensical posts while drunk out my mind. Then I post when I am going through withdrawal. After that, when I am sober, I am posting positive messages about how great I feel etc.
As they say in AA, keep coming back!
