I'm alive & back

Hi Mike,

So glad to hear it :) One day at a time, it's the best solution for addicts. We reward ourselves with each clean day, but are we truly happy? It's important to evaulate our lives each and every day.

Ask yourself... Is there something more I can do to really enjoy my day? Perhaps a long walk while listening to your favorite tunes, a drive out in the country (a favorite of mine :)), a great book you've been wanting to start, baking chocolate chip cookies, watching the sunset, calling up an old friend just to chat for hours, etc. Early in recovery, it is hard to motivate yourself but once you catch on, it gets easier every day.

I am glad to hear you are feeling better Mike :) Anything exciting happening for you this weekend?

Smile, you are worth it :)

I really need to talk. Are any of my old frienRAB still out there ? I'm on the mend now. I will write about it later. Secrets1983 are you there ? I hope you're ok. Mike S
 
MIKE!!!!!

Oh.. it's good to hear from you!!! I was so worried. I am sorry I was not around to respond for you Friday night. I don't have a computer at home as you know so I am just catching up today!!!!!!

You are ALWAYS in my prayers friend. Even when I don't hear from you... I always remeraber you because YOU ARE WORTH IT. I know there is a greater purpose for you! I just know it.. How else do you think you have survived all you have???

I have more to read.. I see you have another thread started.

With love and hope,
 
Dear emsmom, Thank you for your kind worRAB. I realize I have to make the effort if I want to break this horrible cycle. I don't know why I'm still here. There must be a plan for me. I'm pretty beat up but still breathing so there's hope. Finally was able to sleep last night so that really helped. I have to learn how to live being alone. There's a park right down the street so I'm going to start walking it daily. Your worRAB really helped. I hope things are good with you. Sincerely, Mike S
 
mike,

Mr. denon, Thank you for responding. I'm beat up but still here so I'm putting one foot in front of the other. Just working on cleaning up the mess I created. So thankful I didn't hurt anybody. Don't know if I could have lived with that. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Mike S
 
Oh Secrets, so good to hear from you ! I hope you're doing ok. Having a real hard time today. Not a pity thing. My physical issues are my fault but I can't work. Social Security just told me I didn't have enough quarters to qualify for disability. I'm running out of money so I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm certainly afraid of what might happen. Being a drunk , I so want to escape now. My body is so beat up right now that I don't know if it could take another drunk binge. I'm trying to hang in there. Sorry to whine. Anyway it's great to talk to you again. Love, Mike
 
Hey Mike - welcome back. People come and people go - ya always hope that they are doing OK. You have to hang in there and stay tough and battle through this and get your body and your mind healthy! It's a constant struggle that we all have to face and we're here to listen to you and help as we can. Glad you're back!
 
Hey!

I am so sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. It's good you are going to the dr. so they can make sure everything is okay..... I am sure you feel pretty miserable right now but one thing you can focus on right now is that you are doing what is best for you! You can grasp on to that one positive FACT... No one can take that from you.

I am sorry to hear of the disability issue! That is NOT good. I wish I had some sort of advice for you there. However, I don't know a ton about social security.... I know you have a lot on your plate right now and that is when it's easiest to drink/use.. believe me.. I understand that. However, I promise if you stay strong, you will blow your mind in even one month from now by the progress you have made. I know it's way easier said than done but I am not advising you on anything I have not had to do myself before. Our situations may not be the same or similiar but I do struggle everyday still but now I see things a lot more clear than in the past. I try to focus on the positive and some days.... some days that is near impossible but I do it because I know it will make sense later if it doesn't right now.

This board is a blessing in my life and I hope that we can be that same blessing for you!!!!

I hope your day gets better. I really do!!!!
 
Hi Mike,

Just want to send some well wishes your way, and hope you are feeling better :)

Thanks Secrets, Doc. put me on a med called Adderal. It's supposed to energize & aid concentration. He said it's not like a street drug where you're bouncing off the walls. Hopefully it will help. Do you know anything about this drug ? I'm pretty sure I'm not going to drink today. I'm still not over the last binge. It's too bad we have to be addicts & deal w/ this everyday but I know there's people that have to deal w/ a whole lot worse problems. I'm not broke yet so I'm going to try not to stress over it right now. Hope you're having a good day. Love, Mike
 
Derlinda, Thank you so much for responding ! I think just being a part of this board again will help. I'm alone so it gets very lonely & that gets me into trouble. With being an active part of this board I can vent & respond. This gives me a sense of "" family ". I'm still pretty beat up but it it grts a liittle better each day. Again, Thank you, Mike
