Hello everyone. I'd like to thank everyone for responding. I'm currently sober but having a hard time. I'm so depressed I can hardly move. I'm on Prozac & Amitriptyline but they don't seem to help. I'm supposed to see the counselor this afternoon but I'm not sure if I can get out of the house. Part of me wants to drink to escape the depression but I have fear. My body is breaking down after many years of heavy drinking off & on. It's strange what depression & alcoholism can do to a person. I've always kept my house & vehicle immaculate but now I can't seem to get it together to clean. My house is a mess but I can't get moving. I'm in such a dark place w/ no light at the end of the tunnel. I don't know what to do. I just hope somehow things will get better. Again, thanks for your support & listening to me whine. Mike S

Mike,
Listen.... PLEASE go to the counseling session. I dont care what you have to do to get your butt out of that house but you need to go. (this is me giving you tough love) You have been thru a lot but if you just sit there and let things get worse then you know what will happen. You will have let the addiction WIN and you will be 6 feet under. Now, we have gotten to know eachother over the months and I feel like I can speak outwardly to you because you know it comes out of love.
Put it this way.. If I didn't care I would tell you to do what you want to do BUT that is not the case SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Get your butt up and go! PLEASE GO! Please!
I am praying right this moment that God gives you the strength to go!!!
Love,
~Secrets

Secrets, Thank you for caring enough to say what's on your mind. I promise I'll go & I'll let you know how it goes. I'm just really down today & trying to hang on. I can't the pain of drink again. There's going to be a time when I won't come out of it. I know I sound like a baby but my lady friend is backing away from me. Now I really feel alone. I guess I need to get off my pity pot & either sink or swim. Are you ok ? I hope so. Thank you so much for your support. Love, Mike

Hey Mike,
I am so thankful you are going. That makes me feel a lot better. Yes, you have two choices, SINK or SWIM. I prefer you swim and I think deep down you do too.
I am sorry you feel alone right now but you have to remeraber this board is an anonymous board and there have been many people I have became super close with and then lose contact with for a while and then out of the blue I will hear from them. At first I had a hard time but then I realized it was a blessing to have their frienRABhip in any form.
I am doing good thank you! I think I have turned a corner.... I don't want to be to cocky though! I know there are going to be good days but I also know there will be plenty of bad days. Today.... I have had my fair share of cravings but I am fighting thru them. I have focused my attention on other personal goals (babies) and that helps occupy my mind. Hopefully sometime in the next few months I will have a big announcement for the group
Well, pick yourself up, clean yourself up and get out there. Thank you for saying you will go and for sure let us know how it goes.
Sending you a warm hug Mike. What a blessing to have you back on here.. I missed you and worried about you terribly!!!!

Thanks Secrets ! Good luck w/ the babies. At least it's fun going for it. Do you already have children ? I'm sorry to have caused worry. I know what you mean about being cocky. That's where I get into trouble. I'll get past the withdrawals & start feeling good again then I'll fall. I'm confused about my lady friend. I spent the entire weekend helping her at her house & now she tells me I shouldn't worry about her & concentrate on my recovery. She's also in recovery. I think the world of her. If she doesn't want to talk to me then I'm really alone. She's not my girlfriend, just a very close friend. I guess she wants me to leave her alone.

Hey bud --hang in there and try and do something to make you smile. Go to the movies, go for a walk, to the gym, something to get those NATURAL endorphines going. I am going through a tough time as well right now. Its funny, we know what is the RIGHT thing to do but we always come up with ways to not do it. Being BLUE is NO FUN. I am just coming out of a little bout myself and it takes time but there is light at the end of tunnel my friend. Hand in there and DO SOMETHING FUN
