Hi Brent,Listen I can honestly say that if you dont make changes that dying is a real possiabilty.I have read your post on & off since you came & forgive me if Im over stepping my bounds but I need to ask
Why are you so scared of being sober?If Im wrong Im sorry but thats what i get when I read your post.Like to find the real you is so scarey you would rather keep hiding in the pills.Why do you feel like that(if you do)
I really would like to talk with you....mj
Brent..are you willing to go to any length to get clean? Are you ready to stop talking about it and do something about it?

Do something different. Go to a meeting today.

I agree go do something that you dont usually do.A walk?When you said that about your kids it kinda hit home.Lately Ive been thinking about all those years my girls had half a mom.Dont get me wrong I always took good care of my girls but I robbed them of the real me.And Im learning the real me is pretty cool.As hard as getting sober is the good things that you get are 10fold.
you sound like I use to.I would want to stop so bad than Id swallow a bunch of pills & then get mad at myself it was a circle only I could break.All of us on here can tell you its great being sober,that there is alot of good out there without drugs BUT until you take control of your addiction I dont think youll belive any of us.
From what I see in your post you do seem like you think you wont know who you are sober.Like I said if Im wrong sorry but thats what I see.You seem like your too scared to face this world sober.Ill admit sometimes life can truley SUCK,BUT at least when your sober you can have a clear mind to make the right choices about stuff....mj
You can do it...just make a change today..a meeting will put in touch with others going thru it...plz know that you can beat this..e are all pulling for you...Sharonn
Not to be harsh but your disease does not care about yout two daughters.

Brent you can keep feeling sorry for yourself or get off your butt and get clean.

Are you working?

Long weekend perfect time to go C/T.

Are you on any benzo's? If no and only opiates today is a perfect time to DO IT.

Brent I have a 6 yr old and a 15 yrold I got clean for ME. Then you can be a better dad and husband.

Brent....like Rachel said. Do something different today. You don't know what to do? Will you trust me when I tell you what to do?

Do something that doesn't involve taking a pill. Go to a meeting. Find an NA or AA meeting in your area. There are no rules, no fees or dues. Just walk in, sit down and shut up. Listen to what others have to say. And then go again tomorrow. And the next. Keep going even if you're sick of the same stories, something will sink in every day.

Then I want you to call someone before you put a pill in your mouth. Do that everytime you think about putting a pill in your body.

Start with these two things. They are easy to do. Will you at least give it a try?

I really care so please keep posting.

a meeting would be a great idea. All you would be doing is listening to other people talk about their experiences. They are not there to be better than you or to preach at you. all they want to do is help another addict/alcoholic because they were helped. they want to give it away or give it back. I dont want to yap about the pros and cons of meetings but its just a suggestion from cowgirl and others.if youre willing and want sobriety than it works. good luck
Brent, I have spoken to you before but I have been away for a few days due to trolls. This will not kill you. I will help you in anyway that I can. Take Care.
