PUBLIC POST - Accessible to everyone.

*Just thought I would post up and ask how everyone is as things are a little quiet right now?

What has everyone been doing - Any AA meetings or NA events? *

Hello. Bro. I try to think positively and not go back to the path of alcohol. I try to focus on positive things, at work in an animal shelter, this group is very helpful.

Do you really mate? That's Great - Only an extremely kind hearted person would do that pal so I am not surprised with you. Are you allowed to take some pictures of them? Smile

PropheticWookie's picture

Yes, of course, I will ask permission from the administration and post photos, pets? Because it's an animal shelter.
Animals they radiate kindness, I learn from them.

You got any pictures of the shelter animals yet mate? Smile

PropheticWookie's picture

Not yet, I'm waiting for a response from the owner of the shelter, since he is at his house, and he really does not want to take a photo!

Day drunk get shorter and days sober get longer. This HOW it happened for me. Pray this is the one. Going on 17 years since that last 10 month go around will the bottle, the powder and the law.

Damn man sorry to hear this - but at least you are back at it again, many see it as an excuse to carry on once they relapse. How did it happen if you don't mind me asking?

hogwild's picture

Man...Forgot my last drunk,, life got in the way of the life AA gave me, Started dating a chick that got me back in the bar Scene. was out for about 6 months before I picked up a desire chip.

Oh, these women, sometimes the reasons for the problems of men, this is not an excuse, But often there is a problem that a person is not able to cope with.

so heres the other side of my drunkalog... I got a dwi and felony fleeing charge during my relapse,, also had 3 years left on probation with 7 year prison back up,,, fuuukk... so I'm thinking yep I'm fixn to go to prison on probation violation,, I move my girlfriend in to hold my house and buisness down while I'm gone,,, got a good lawyer and first plea offer is only 30 days county jail... Now me and gf and squabing regulary and she driving me crazy. went to meeting last night just for an hour of serenity to get out of my head for a minute. I love this chick but she steals all my serenity, but when ts good its dam good, plus she is not one of us.

PropheticWookie's picture

Oh, man, patience and will. I hope that you will find understanding, the main thing is that you love each other. I hope that you will find support and support in yourself and difficult times will unite and unite you as one.

This is just my take on this mate - My last GF was completely T-total and never ever drank a sip. She was the most amazing fuck ever and could give head like no other!! But she was the most argumentative and difficult bitch that ever lived Lmao I'd be sat chilled watching TV feeling great, she'd come round and sit looking at me and say 'Whats wrong with ya?' I'd reply nothing at all, she'd keep saying it until there was something wrong with me as she'd asked so much! Every time I would sober up for a few days she would then start something that had me straight back on the Vodka in no time at all for 3 solid days. I think you would find it much easier staying sober if you were single for a while and just doing Tinder fucks here and there, I know many guys who live the stress free life doing that. Just ask @wanted LMAO

hogwild's picture

My mind keeps thinking about your post..... Man Im struggling with her craziness today, staying sober but serentiy is long gone... and seems like more bad times than good. How did you get rid of yours??? did she live with you?

press1's picture

Seriously bud I really think you should be trying to let go and move on if you can, if there are more bad times than good then its definitely a sign this relationship is no longer good for you especially mentally and for your sobriety. Women will always be difficult but when it gets to a certain level its time to put yourself first and do whats right for you. I'm a bit of a funny fucker mate - no matter how in love I have been with a girl or attracted to them I've never for one minute wanted them to move in and live with me. I grew up as an only child and lived with 1 parent, they worked away most of the time so I basically lived by myself and fed myself etc from around 10 years old so am use to being fiercely independent and liking my own company so I just don't have the craving for someone else to be there. So long story short getting out of any relationship has been fairly easy Lol Thats not to say I haven't had to deal with the usual shit of ex's shagging my friends & people I know to get back at me haha

hogwild's picture

well fook, the shit show is almost over, thanks for all the input and support. I gave her 7 days to find another place to live and 2000.00 to get help her get a place. She still hates me but whatever. I just want my serenity back. learned my lesson,, but I still don't think I would have seen her crazy side if I wouldn't have moved her in, just damn glade I didn't put a ring on it first. dodged that bullet,, and yeah for damn sure I need my alone time too. I'm 5 weeks in on cycle and excited to just focus on training and sobriety rn. Ya'll kick ass thanks for letting me share.

PropheticWookie's picture

You are right, if in the end positive emotions remain. Life is complicated and there will always be pluses and minuses, but moments of happiness are something worth living for!

PropheticWookie's picture

This post really got me thinking.

hogwild's picture

Oh shit!!!!! You just described my situation to the T. Thanks for the input. When its good its DAMN good. When its bad it fuckn sucks. Also looking at my part in this too. That wreckage of the past scares us.

press1's picture

With women tend to come a lot of bad temptations, especially the attractive ones Lol I know my life always becomes hectic and stressful when I am with one which is when the drink creeps in. When I'm single things are definitely a lot more calm and relaxed, training goes much better etc.
