I am empathizing with you... Couldn't get that thought out of my head. Ended up doing this: but I did it out of love.

Shit ad hang in there

Nice work just a guy.. man it was getting lonely manning the good night belltower all alone..

Hope everyones doing good.. push on good people:D

Edit: wow i didn't even see that.. I feel that laughing is so much better than getting a serious. cause everytime i get serious i either get seriously pissed, sad, frustrated.. then things like that up above remind me that this shit is supposed to be fun.. ands whats the point of getting all serious about my life.. so I can create the perfect me and the perfect life.. taking life to seriously in an attempt to prove something makes me seriously unhappy every time.. I guess we can look at life in many ways, as it can either create a burden in futility, or an realization of freedom when we figure out that all but mightiest marks, left by a human on this earth, begin to fade before they have even left.

So heres to seeking the important stuff like passing on real wisdom to our children.

edit 2: ^need a new avitar ad lib^^

Ad lib - keep it up! We know it isn't easy right now. I know it doesn't help much to hear that it will get better, when it is really shitty. But it does get better.. So hang in there.

Eat healthy and exercise! I did yoga a couple days ago, and other than being sore still i feel great! Just from doing it once, maybe it's just in my head but who cares, I'm probably going back tomorrow!

Gonna give this a try since I like this little chain of taking turns we have going .

Good morning all! I just checked the calandar and it seems as I've been jipping myself a day! I've been on my taper plan since the 22nd as my start date. Today is actually Day 8 for me !

adlib you'll get through this. I honestly think you need a longer acting benzo it made the world of difference in stabilizing my mood. Barely any anxiety at all and I'm taking a lower equivalent dose than I was before I switched.

See you guys at check in tonight! I doubt anything will change. Loving my new life. I also love that it started basically on my birthday so it feels like It has a lot of meaning and a lot of success behind it.

So cool addy

Ending of my 8th day . I got a lot done that I wasn't able to do these past couple of months. They seem insignificant but it was something I struggled with and caused a lot of depression.

I woke up comfortable without a hint of anxiety (something I haven't experienced in many months) I bathed all my dogs and then cleaned the shower which had started to get a buildup of soapscum and mildew (it takes a good amount of time to clean the tile and grout in that shower so I always put it off), I headed out and picked up some house supplies which I've been needing for a while. Though they're little I've neglected them for a while due to my depression and debilitating anxiety. Things are really starting to improve .

Goodnight loves! Another successful day .

Good morning. I have three doubles in a row! If I get another empty paycheck I lose my car...so keep your fingers crossed that this works!

I have not lost hope. When one loses hope all is lost and sobriety has no meaning. I just got a call back for a sous chef position doing fine dining again. Keep your fingers crossed. Child support will still be taking all my money, but Ill be doing something I love.

Thanks, Just A Guy!! Lets all kick Septembers butt.

Can't believe tomorrow is the last day of August!? Where'd the summer go?
