Hi,
Probably not a good idea for me to post here but.....
I'm having an intense obsession big time. I can't get to a meeting, I don't have a car right now and I'm real close to picking up. Any suggestions?
Take care.....................................God bless.......................................Bob

Back to basics, you have to do it minute by minute. You don't have to cope with the future just this moment. Keep talking, I am with you brother I say it and mean it.

Posting here is a good thing Bob. How about going out for a brisk walk? Or pickup the phone and call someone? Got any housecleaning to do? Idle minds are the devil's workshop (I think that's how it goes). Jim
Call your sponsor Bob or any other addicts number you have

Bob,
Close your eyes and feel the pride of your accomplishments. Its been over a year now, Jan 12th if memory serves me; close your eyes and go to the place where you feel that pride in yourself that you so well deserve.
Don't let yourself down, you've come too far and don't say that you shouldn't post here, you've helped us alot not its our turn.
Close your eyes Bob, and feel that pride and that sense of accomplishment.
Love you,
Roe

I'm sick of hurting, I'm sick of having the things I say trying to help twisted, I'm sick of my money problems, I'm sick of not being able to party I'm sick of always turning down invitations to parties at friends houses I'm sick of the fact I'm an addict and alcoholic, I'm sick of all this s*** on the board, I'm sick of people threatening me here, I wanna get f***rd up, stop hurting I wanna f*** someone up, I don't care about jail never did, I'm sick of trying to be a good example!!!! f*** this!!!!!!!!.....Bob

Hey Bob,
I know the feeling, but if you just hang in there it will pass. You are so needed on this board, you just got a year and you don't want to throw that away. Please, just keep talking to us. We are here for you.
Love,
Liz

Well, don't read this Board today! lol Please take that with the humor with which it was intended....honestly.
I agree with JR and Paul, can you call your sponsor or another sober member of the program, talk it through? Sometimes just verbalizing it out loud, to another person, helps diffuse the power for me a lot.
Think it through -- wiill it really be enough, or will it just start the insatiable grind all over again....and the shame, pain, and loneliness that go with it.
Eat if you're hungry.
Rest if you're tired.
Then call someone else.......and don't drink/use, no matter what!
Hang in Bob. One thing we can all agree on is that we all deserve another day -- and a lifetime of days -- of clean sobriety. M.

Bob,
Please don't call your MD. You have allot of friends here who want to help. Please call me or come into chat with us. You know my number Bob. You are stronger than this. I'm sorry for my part in the arguments this morning. But it is just hard not to respond to someone who is personally attacking me. All of the madness will stop on my part right now. I love you Buddy, please call me or call your sponsor. Remember there are so many people who love and respect you. Let us help.

Bob, you and I might not get along, but I can tell you have a strong will. Stronger than picking up something. WALK to a meeting, or ride a bike..or take a cab or have your sponsor drive you...but NO MATTER WHAT...just don't do anything you will regret. You are stronger than your addiction, I can tell..
Hey Bob, (I love you, first of all) now lets see, reasons for Bob not to pick up.
Two awesome little girls that think their daddy is the very best. A wife that considers him her best friend and love of her life. Two parents who are so proud of their son and all that he has accomplished. Knowing financial freedom is just around the corner....a small wait. And as for this board......come on buddy, you know better than that one. This board is not your friends. You KNOW who your friends are. You are very blessed, even if right now you can't feel it. LOVE YOU BOB!! Love, Kat

Hi, Bob
This is the first I got on today and by now you are at your meeting. I'm sorry you were having such a bad day, and I'm very PROUD of you for pulling it together to go to a meeting. I will pause right now to pray for renewed strength for your recovery...... It is quite an accomplishment to be clean for over a year! If I know you, you don't want to start all over again....you don't want to lose what you've worked SO HARD to accomplish!
Can I share with you something my mom taught me. As proper as I am, I have this tendency to say "BULLs***!" when somebody messes with me. My kids think it's really funny because I try very hard to stay close to Jesus and do what he would do, but when someone falsely accuses me or yells at me, I do what my mom used to do and say, "BULLs***!" I was blessed to be a stay at home mom for about 20 years. I always took care of things inside the house pretty much by myself feeling it was my "job" and it was the kids job to do well on their school work and my husband's to do well at his work. Well, when we needed some extra money for college expenses, I went back to work, but things completely fell apart here because I hadn't trained any of my family members to help all those years! That combined with my daughter having a baby and living here and my other daughter getting married and having to plan a wedding and baby/wedding showers. It's been very busy, and my house keeps getting messier and messier...and I can't seem to get ahead no matter how much I try! My husband gets angry about it and comes down REALLY hard on me about it...he can be really mean trust me when he's upset. It helps me a lot to say "BULLs***!" and walk away from him. Try it.....if you read something in a thread that bothers or hurts you, just post "BULLs***!" and go to another. It works!
Just wanted to let you know that I care and I will continue to pray for you to be strong. We're all different on here, and our differences make us special. Let's not lose sight of that people.
Love,
Susan
