Wife Upstate !!!!!! 22 Jun 2010 21:09 #71707

Moshew

Any tips to help pass the time and stay on the wagon? The summer months can be very dangerous especially for those whose families go up to the Catskills. B’H I am going into my fist post Dovid Chaim Clean Summer and I want it to stay that way. I will need all the help and support I can get especially in the evening when I am in the office alone (that has traditionally been my weakest moment).

There is always Bardy’s option of drinking myself into a stupor with old Woddford each evening but that will “open the bottle” to a whole new set of issues.

o.k. there should be a whole thread on this topic.Please feel free to be in touch with me my e-mail address is:yedidyaaleph@hotmail.com
maybe an new evening phone meeting like after 5pm Eastern time?
I definitely identify with this problem even though Baruch Hashem my wife and family are not away.... being in the office alone on the computer is a slipery slope!!
heard from 12 step program H A L T
meaning avoid getting to hungry,angry,lonely ,and tired.
seems to me that a lot of us r feeling unfulfilled in our current relationships and r yearning to connect in a healthly loving way to other like us.

i find that for me, doing physical exercise is a great way to keep my mind occupied, despite the fact that i am a rather inactive, just-out-of-high-school kid on summer vacation. Go for a walk while listening to a shiur, find a place to shoot some hoops, go bowling (with the kids) etc. maybe its just a teenage thing about being active, but i know it works for others.

just an idea.

whatever you choose to do, hatzlacho!

OK, our porch is too small for all y'all, but the unmoderated phone meeting sounds awesome!

Sorry for ruining the fun but here are some suggestions

1. join Elya's call on Thursday night

2. Get numbers from guys to call when you feel weak.

3. get email address and chat to stay in touch

4. Go to shuirim and socail events so you will meet people and stay connected

5. talk to your wife (and kids) on webcam daily if possible.

I will IM you my email address and if you want my number IM me or email me. I am not available all day but I will return your call when I can
