My hope is that you are somewhere safe - and sober.
But mostly safe.

I don’t often post on your threads because of how hateful you can get. I do believe you are better than this I too hope you are well and maybe in rehab.

This worries me considering the content of some of the posts.
I am sending out all good vibes and hoping that you are in a safe place, Jeff. Truly wishing you happiness and health.

I don’t think there’s undue cause for worry.

Jeff will often disappear until he gets a few sober weeks under his belt again...but yeah, I hope this maybe he got some help.

I agree. I am on the “encouraged side”. Drunk talk is just that. Whatever will be will be. Let’s hope for the best and keep the lights on for him.

Wow, what a mess I created. This thread is a textbook definition as to why alcoholics (with some depression and trauma issues) should not drink. I do good for stretches and then fall spectacularly. I appreciate all of you who are or were concerned. Appreciate your support. I support you in return. Jeff.

I have the same "Hunter S Thompson" type of binges. Everything is great and then the world is out to me. I will send messages and call people about nonsense. I sober up my, my apartment is just littered with empty cans and bottles and I realize I haven't showered in a week. Great lifestyle...

Alcoholics (of every sort) should not drink. Period.

I'm fine, I always end up fine. I guess I'm a survivor. I am not in a position to say much until I get my own house in order. Binges keep getting worse, not better. Do great for awhile, then fall on my face. Like a broken record.

Think about that statement a bit. Yes you survived in the sense that you aren't drinking anymore ( at least that's my assumption ) and you are are still alive. But if your house is not in order, is everything really "fine"? Is it fine with your wife? Is it fine with your work? Is it fine in the sense that you have a plan to not fall on your face again? Mostly asking these questions rhetorically but feel free to share here too - "getting your house in order" will need to involve those from outside your house. And if you are being totally honest with yourself, that's when everything goes off the rails - when you decide that you can take everything into your own hands and deal with it. You are no different from me or many of the others here on the forum in that respect - and the cycle continued for many of us too, just like it is for you. So I would argue that you are indeed in a position to say a lot - and that getting the house back in order won't happen until you do.

I was happy to see your name here again this morning, and I am glad that you have stopped. I hope you can make the decision to make positive change in your life.
