IT, youve been hanging out in my office, filling the corners, but not telling me what you really came for??
Moms are bright, but not mind readers son!
The purpose of that thread is to have written
"mom; having a downer, could you stop by when you get a minute?"

Hope everything is better today.
Does Uri leaving have something to do with the down?

Moms may not be mindreaders but they are supposed to be HEARTreaders, no??

And yes today is much better.

And maybe it does have a little to do with Uri. We were really holding eachother. Alot!

I am so glad you are having a better day.  Remember to stay positive and we all are here to help!!!  (That's the point of being here.)  How is the plan going to tell or not tell your wife?

You deserve all the cheering in the galaxy, IT25! So please tell me you are doing more for your recovery than only sharing what you've got with others. We both need to be doing some kind of slightly annoying recovery work on a regular basis, to stay useful and sober. Not just the 12th step!

....at least that's what my sponsor always yells at me, the jerk...... ;D

Rebbi your so right!! But i think this, which what you speak, is the real hard part. :-\ :-\

Please enlighten me Rebbi. I felt i need to put a slight distance between me and the actual acting out and then id be able to focus more on the recovery aspect. What do you think? What is my next step?? Please answer. I dont want to lose the little that i have!!

Keep dancing with your walker.

Keep encouraging others and trying to help.

Have a l'chayim.

Then consider going through the steps in a simple way.

If things are going well, I'd probably do nothing, as you must be doing something right! And you need not tell me nor anyone what ypu are choosing to do - it's completely private (until you bring someone in to help you).
But if you see that things are not so poshut and it seems to you that you need help to stay safe, work through the steps by all means, and find someone to help you do it.

See? Who needs to be pushy?

PS. If you don't take good care of yourself I'm going to lock you in a room with Rage, Henry Kissinger, and Obama and throw away the key!!!
(Just kidding....I'll keep the key.)
