giving up

[edgewise1]

Don't see how anyone could get pissed at that.

Does your brother you are moving in with attend the meetings also? Seems that would be good for both of you, as you can bounce ideas off one another as to what was said and what went on at the meeting---just maybe gain a better understanding and means to apply to yourself.

Anyway, congrats on giving alcohol up, and best of luck with your move in.

Honestly, I would be more than willing to offer solid advice to the OP.

But really a post that has to be translated I found kinda humorous.

My dad, most of my ex friends, grandmother, great grandmother were and some still are alcoholics that I've had solid convos with to try and keep their heads up; but really how do you respond to a post that has to be translated other than finding some humor in it?

Hey man, I understand where you're coming from and I apologize for sounding like a dick. I too deal with hopeless, aggressive alcoholics in all my immediate family and closest friends and they're beyond wanting to meet me even quarter way. So no offense, y'know? I just felt compassion for the guy.

OP, don't be embarrassed. You were in a bad space the other night. It sounds like you're taking positive steps. And part of what BL is here for is to post shit like that from your most depressed, suicidal mind and get support.

I'm glad you're boss is giving you another chance and that he has a compassionate GF who helped out along the way. Good move on moving in with the sober brother and going to meetings. Keep it up. I wish you the best and don't be afraid to come back and vent even if you slip up and just need to vent drunkenly. We got translators.

Keep up the good work and know we're here for you.

My attempt at translation:

"I just lost my job today because of alcohol. So my friends, my job, my girl. I'm lost with nobody. Nobody I mean.

I'm very drunk, delete this post.

Sorry."

You are the worlds best muthafuckin interpreter ?

Has anyone offred you a scholarship? .... I want too! ... i'll pay you in dack oi!

The brother I'm moving in with used to attend meetings, but not anymore. He's been straight for a few years now, after having had a real bad time of things for awhile. It's pretty interesting, he ended up getting clean because he thought it was his fault that I got to a really bad state, although it wasn't- I'd never blame anyone for my behavior over the years. Except myself of course.

Yeah, I hope nobody got mad at that original post of mine. That wasn't my intention at all, and obviously most people on BL have issues of some sort with regards to substances, especially on TDS.

Anyway, I'm on day 3! It's been pretty rough. But I'm getting pretty sick of the ways things have been going, ya know? Tomorrow is gonna be a big step for me. I don't think I've had a sober Saturday since I was 14, besides a little stretch in Iraq (which sucked, no booze, few women, etc etc)

I didnt mean people get pissed over one bout of depression/ drunkeness, I was just saying people are alcoholic say dumb or offensive stuff sometimes,when they're impaired but now i see the OP meant well, and I am obliged to help you in any way. you got support from me, bro.
