Brab/brent

No fair, bud. You don't get to come on here and announce that you're checking out and then not stick around to hear all of the love and support that your fellow addicts are giving you.

Ok, so you relapsed and yea, life sucks pretty big time right now, but it's not the end of the world and there is help out there. I told you before you don't have to do this by yourself which is why I think you showed up here in the first place.

We've all been where you are. You're not unique and you're not the only one that this has happened too. We've all been just as desperate and most have thought death was the way out. Do you seriously want to leave your kids with that legacy? Time to get pissed off at this disease, Brent. Time to fight for your life.

So, do me, yourself and everyone here that cares about you, and check in. Talk to us. There is no shame here in relapse, only in death.

All I can say is that I hope you called someone lastnight.
This place is a big help but we are not equipped to deal with suicides or even serious considerations of them.A really nice thing would be what Lisa suggested.Is just to come on here and let us know your o.k.A lot of people reached out to you last night and you do owe them that.We get these messages sometimes and it does freak people out.
Most of us have had the same idolation of ending it all after relapsing.
Maybe you got a few hours of sleep and have a little different perspective this morning.
All you need to do is post.Even though this is a bulletin board,thats a scary place to be.Even if you are using,check in.
Brent,

CG, You said what I was thinking. To annouce on a message board that you were thinking of "checking out" to people who could only give you words of comfort and nothing else, and not come back is not fair. C'mon and "check in".

Regards,
Tom
