I almost had a year clean and sober. Have to start over again here at the end of July. At least I didn't drink, I still feel like an idiot though.

 

[awkward__silence]

drinking does not help but it feels amazing. if somebody is not ready to stop there is a problem more important then doing drugs and drugs will be what is used to cope with it. people can not quit for little reason but if doing drugs is what helps right now that will be what helps and maybe it is good that people can find something for coping because maybe they are not ready for the world. things will get better or things will not get better but to find what is the reason is the only way to get better

What doesn't break us down, makes us stronger.
You were strong and made it through this. And that is a Blessing.
What a gift that you are alright. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that.

I still can't believe this but . . . . I'm alright now.
Just be careful. It's a terrible fight. We All Have To Be So Careful with just Everything too.

I am so happy that you are alright and it's almost your birthday, cuz, you made it !
Another year, Sept's almost here !!

Hey look, it's just a slip up. A year clean and sober is awesome work. Just as long as you don't let your brain trick you into a full-on relapse.

Thanks so much kiely. That means a lot!!

Thanks, yeah it's just a slip up. I'm doing alright just smoking weed and taking kratom occasionally. I honestly feel much better, aside from the constant physical pain with the leg. Things are starting to get better though.

Working a lot now ... Just started back doing some telecom work so up and down a ladder all day... It's been whooping my ass but it feels good and I'm making solid money.

I still have no desire to use drugs or drink. I was just around it and had put myself in a stupid position.

it is easy to throw hands and connect when our mind is not distracted by what drug we are going to do when we are done

It's true.

I have a task for today; Go get some eggs, some seitan slices, zero alcohol, absolute zero damn alcohol, I can not stress this enough. Maybe grapefruit juice or something.

And try to meditate, do deep breathing, try to stay calm and just breath for a while.

Your are on the path. Now ride that bike !!!

Keep that good heart. Stay kind. I know that you can get through this. You already are.

Just stay calm and meditate the whole time without ETOH. It is very very very highly toxic and poisoning to the mind, brain

and your whole body system. It is poison and you have to get rid of it and you can.

Smaller portions each time. Try to be alright and ween down that's all.

Also, you are better than that and you can do this and you are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are on your way already. You can. And you do this.


Don't stop now.

 

[Pissed_and_messed]

Thanks! I did not buy alcohol when I went for the breakfast stuff, but then I eventually did go because I could not deal with the obsessions. I am pretty drunk and high, it kinda solved the "attack" but I can't really do things I wanted, but I'll try again tomorrow. My finances have not been ruined as of yet, I guess I just save 5 euros for food and pay the part of the rent I can for now, I agreed with landlord to pay rest week later. I possibly use half of the 5 euros to beer in the morning lol, I fortunately have very good stack of food for many days to come, but I find this pattern depressing.

 

[awkward__silence]

try again tomorrow. we are human.

 

[Pissed_and_messed]

The obsession is not about the alcohol exactly, I am just insane.

Sounds great, but I am unfamiliar with seiten slices; are they a sliced, lunch meat or some other food?

 

[deficiT]

I pray for your ability to get past that compulsion it can be very difficult, but it is also very possible, and you'd be surprised how much better your life can get when dropping alcohol from the diet.

You might think you're insane, but for me, alcohol was a big reason for why I was insane.

 

[Pissed_and_messed]

for sandwich. I think it is soy-based, and there is green pepper in it. It has kind of a more sour taste that goes along well with eggplant-based spread.

I have heard the word before, but honestly don't know what it is either, hopefully p&m enlightens us further.

I just like that it's pronounced like Satan
