I've seen you post on a few threads and although it's quiet on the board right now, didn't want you to feel ignored.
Tell me more about yourself. Are you going through w/d's right now?
Glad you're here....

Hey Steve...it does help to post here. When I was first getting clean a year and a half ago. I posted here every day, all day. It was the only thing that got me through it in the beginning. I went back to NA and AA and it's because of those rooms that I'm clean and sober today. I didn't drink in the last 19 years but knew it could become a problem if I subsitituted that for the pills.
Why were you on the perks in the first place? Did you hurt yourself or were you sick?
If you can get through the w/d's, that's the easy part. Staying clean takes a lot of hard work and soul searching. I found that I couldn't do it alone. I also found out that I didn't NEED to do it alone.
Jump in to the different posts here, whatever relates to you...spill your guts.
Sorry about your divorce. That's so tough to deal with.

I saw where you posted to Kim that you just liked to get high and didn't need the pills for pain....I was the same way although I started taking them for migraines.. probably could have gotten by with just motrin though.
I respect what you say about being private, I couldn't be any more private. That's the beauty about meetings...they are annonymous. What is shared there, stays there. I just love the sense of support and knowing that others are like me.
2 days into w/d's is tough, but if you're determined and really want your life back, you can do this.
Be careful with the xanax, it is very easy to get addicted to and ten times harder to get off than the percs.

Oh God, how did I mess that up????I thought you said xanax. Geesh. Blonde thing I got going.
Sleep well....
Sleep well....
Blond??????
There was a blond named Brandi who was having extream financial problems. She was about to lose her business so she decided to ask God for help. Dear God, please let me win the lottery. Lottery night came and she didn't win. So she prayed again,,,,please God let me win the lottery. If not I may lose my house. Again lottery night came and Brandi has no luck. So again she prays. Dear Lord, I don't ask you for much. I've lost my business, my house, and I'm about to lose my car. Please, Please help me win the lottery. Just then there's a blinding light, the heavens open up and Brandi's confronted by Gods voice.
Brandi,,,,,work with me on this......buy a ticket.

Why do you have to work 12 hr days. Your replaying my life. Except I used the pills as I was afraid of losing my job.
Steve we all get sober different. If this is working for you great. If you get a chance check out one meeting you might find it gives you some energy.
I am jeaolous of the holdem. I am a good player know the odds. But my short term memory has been affected terribly due to these freakin pills. So I played in a nice 5-10 game. For many years--a club of great men--10 poker players 8 golfers. I prefer Blackjack.
Anyway if you change your mind hit an AA meeting. Nothing to lose.

steve,
make your own judgement but i have been here over a year and certain things that get said does not stay here, just use your better judgement and stay vigilant/watch and observe and come to your own conclusion, i am not saying we are all bad like that, but just know it does happen so observe/educate yourself and come to your own conclusion. this is only shared as i have been a victem myself, but fortunately i am strong enough in my year and half recovery to just blow it off and take the high road, i hope i am wrong in your case and that you find the strong foundation in recovery that you are seeking. you sound like an inttelligent man, u have the most confidense in you, now do me a favor please......believe in yourself and go out and get it, take back what belongs to you :)

basicly i am saying educate yourself on all you options, there are more then one and you shoud read and talk with outhers and make an educated decision based upon the your findings, i hope i simplicated it a bit better for you. if i am making matters worse then i apologise and will back off and ,,,, step away from the thread hehehehe oh and no hard fealings, we all work differently, some wound to tight, some wanna be right, some need cose ome just like constant reassurance and a pproval. others need friends to post all over thier threads telling them ho great they are. unfortunately some are more insecure an need constant reassurance and approval. thats ok too if thats whta makes them boost ther sel confidence,it boils down to beingh in touch and loving us, nowing our likes and dislikes and overall juts being secure with who we are an what we stand for at the end of the day and be sure you like that person you have to live with. and always striving to make like a better place to live in and change for better thing to help out others,,,,,there is completeky nothing any more rewading than that.

hope that calarifide some, but i have a tendency to get slightly DEEP hehehe
