Hi,
I wanna thank you all for your support. My buddy cancelled, lol, car troubles.
So, we're gonna get together tomorrow and go to an early meeting before the storm hits. I took some "me" time and read the Big Book for a bit, and talked on the phone for an hour or two with a few buddies. Also, I wanna thank Teresa for calling. I guess I knew I would be ok, I just get pissed at this disease sometimes when I allow it to take up space in my head. I do feel much better now, but I know I do have to get my a** to a meeting. And I will do so first thing tomorrow. It really sucks not having a car at the moment. But, a few more weeks and things will be back on track again as far as money goes. Although
having had a bit of a bad day, it was nice to see the support and love here that I wish was present more often. I know for me, I'm not going to feed into anymore of the sillyness, life is too short to get caught up in unproductive behavior.
Thanks again, have a nice night everyone,
Take care..........................................God bless...................................Bob
Susan- Thats because it was your job. I was Mr. Man About Town until I became Mr. Mom, and let me tell you, Mr. Mom is a lot harder of a job.
Bob- Hope you are ok. I am sure you are. There are good days and bad days, as you know. I know the meeting will be the "Music that calms the savage beast" for you. Like I said, we may not get along, but I know you can lick this one man. I don't go as often as I should but coming out of a meeting makes you feel almost the same as coming out of church. And if I find out you picked up, I'm coming to your house and taking out the can of whoop a** on you. We might not see eye to eye but I know your feeling well (from the Xanax). Get through the meeting, come home and chill, crash early and tomorrow will make today seem stupid. You can do this dude. You are the LAST person I would expect a post like that from (bad english).
Gina- Help him out. He is stuck in a house, sick and on the verge of relapse. I wish I had someone to help me, but I don't. Bob is strong, but I know you can help him too....
GO BOB! Fight it. You feel like a boxer in round 15 with a cut eye, sitting in your corner saying "I can't go back in"....guess what..you can...and you can knock out this opponent and win the fight. If Gina dosen't push you back out to fight, then I am...I'm in your corner on this one..let us all know how it went and how you feel, ok?

Glad you made it through, Bob. We've all had 'em, and will again I'm sure. M.
Hey Bob;
Glad you're feeling better. You did what I should have done last month. You reached out. And it loks like you've made another 24 hours! Way to go! I isolated and I relapsed. I'm sorry you had a tough time today, but it was a really good lesson for this student, if you know what I mean.

Hey JR,
What you said here was really important.
When we isolate we relapse and when we reach out we have a chance at staying clean another 24 hrs.
I hope you are doing better these days.
Bob,
I just looked here but wanted to say I'm glad that you did reach out for help and and you didn't pick up again. A year is a good long time. Congrats to you and also to Gina. We are always one pill away and what happened really teaches us how close we really are no matter how much clean time we have.
I have not been here much lately as I find it more stressful than helpful. Partly my doing in the last week, partly just the sadness I see from everything happening.
Sharon hang in there, those of us who know you know you. I know you and love ya. Kat you too, lol no.... you don't have cancer. You have done a good job trying to bring in the peace patrol.
I too came very close to a bout with alcohol in the past week. I didn't tell a soul. I had the drink in my hand ..... a strong scotch and water. I put it to my lips and all the sudden it was like lightening going through me, "Wait what are ya doing here?!" For me the only reason I have ever had for drinking was to get drunk. So I looked at the glass and I put it down. Cuz one would not been enough and 4 would have been too many.
We come here for love and support. This thread made me happy cuz I saw the real reason we come here and I saw everyone pull together. Maybe we can leave our swords and daggers at the door for awhile and just support one another.
Either way I wish you all well.
Peace,
pm

Bob, I lost 70 pounds in the last year, am sick as a dog...I get to meetings on a bike...if I can can do it, YOU certainly can....take a cab or something. I really do care about you. Pay the $10 to get you there and the $10 to get home. You can do this man. Best $20 you will ever spent..hell, I rode in 17 degreese yesterday for 10 miles. You can do it dude. You are on the verge of relapse, and with your record, that would be tragic. Can Gina drop you off and pick you up? Don't let ANYTHING stop you....GO!
Bob, from one Bob to another, the stories on pages 34 through 43 about addiction relapse may just help you, me and others today. remember the milk story.

f***..Bob is MIA..i'm bumping again
Hey Bob, i gotta admit u annoy me sometimes, but i am proud of you here. u took the hard road, the good road & the right road, good job. i know if u got thru that & went to a meeting u have to be stronger today. Somethin Grishem said in one of his novels "A liberal is a conservative who has been busted." I know the just do it state of mind is something some people need to proclaim from the rooftops (it helps them) & in your case u lived up to your proclimations, which is a good thing & u should be proud of, but i hope in the struggle u learned to have a little bit more compassion for those of us who cant, or dont, always just do it, and im saying this in love. But, that being said, good job, no GREAT JOB.
