The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!

admitance

I joined mywayout communitiy a year or two ago - and have come back:new: visited a couple of times desperately trying to find more info on supplements, vitamins, aminos, etc etc to help stop my totally self-destruction. Have taken many things, and to a large degree have helped, but I find myself, when my wife is away (she occasionally travels for work) going totally nuts - I then choose not to take anything, and then, just go crazy.

I have finally admitted to myself that I am an alcoholic, and actually feel relieved I have got to this stage. I suppose I have been an alocoholic since 14, and now 36. I have totally wasted so much of my life. I feel awful.

I've taken 1000mg glutamine about an hour ago, and feel a whole lot better. I didn't mean to get wrecked last night, but I did - and now I cannot go on anymore with this. I feel I have reached that point. My weight has escalated and I am worried that I will die.

Please help.

WELCOME, BIZMAN AND GEMMA! We are so happy to have you as a part of our little family here! Tlrgs, our leader and Ruby, our encourager are on vacation at Ruby's cabin and they don't have internet service there, but they will be back hopefully, next week. We are all kind of lost here without them! Hope you two will stick around and tell us more about yourself. Gemma, so happy you have recognized that you have a problem. That is a big step. We are all on this journey together and we all have ups and dows, but the most important thing is to never give up! When you fall, get right back up and start over! It is time to take your life back and recover from the horrible addiction to alcohol! Feel free to pm me if you want to talk. Also, if you can find it, read my thread "You Can Do This!" We all love one another here and will encourage and help you any way we can! Love, Vicki

Good Morning to all - Vicki - your hand sounds dreadful for you - is there nothing else you can do for it? I do hope that it gets to feeling better. Hold your coffee in the other hand and don't hold a ciggie at all!! LOL ( I quit in Jan around the time I went AF).

Bird - hope you do manage to get to see Ruby and Rog - I do wish i could go too. Oh Vicki - it was my own fault that i kept going back and reading the posts but I am not going to - I think we all got the message.

MB - thanks for Ruby's number - I might give her a call this morning - we sure do miss them being here don't we?

Grateful, yes the rain has gone, which is a shame and the humidity is def out there this morning. I need to mow but am working at 2.00 today and have already showered so think I might leave it until I get off tomorrow at 3.30 (I do opening shift tomorrow).

Gold - good Morning! Hope you are doing well this morning. And your mum too.

And welcome to Gemma and bizman - as SOBS said, Tlrgs and Ruby are not here right now, and we do miss them but you are welcome - this is such a great site to be at. Gemma - you have been here before - did you read the book? do you have any sort of plan yet? Bizman - have you read the TOOLS section? There is so much stuff here to read - welcome to both of you and we will give you any help that we can.

Well friends, a new day, and it is going to be a good one!! IAD - are you feeling better ?? I sure do hope so. I will be on late tonight so you all won't be here - have a wonderful day - love you all,

Hugs, Sunshine xx

Hello Everyone,
Not purposely hiding from you all. Lots going on and a crap computer as well. Hop on the website and get bumped right off. Problem seems "fixed" for now, so hopefully that's a postive sign of things to come. Lots of back reading to do and not sure I will get to much of it. Sometimes the past may be just left there. I hope all is well for each and everyone of you. I'll be looking for updates here soon and will post more later as well. To new members, please jump right in. Relatively new to the thread mysef. Hot one here in Illinois today. Off to get the exercise in or it won't get done. See ya soon!!

Welcome to our "Journey", Bizman & Gemma. Nice to have you both here. You'll find lots of friendly and wise people here.

Maslow-so glad that you are okay and back posting with us. Hope your computer problems get worked out. IAD-I love the sign!!! Gold-how have you been? I am trying to get my shifter into overdrive, like you suggested!! Bird-are you going, huh?huh? We all think you should go-live in the moment, girlfriend. Sunshine-hope you have a good night at work. Mama Bear-you must be busy today...or the Big Bosses are in, right? Hope to hear from you soon. Vicki-what are you doing today? Hopefully just chillin' and catching up on some much needed rest.

Do we all miss Ruby & Roger, or what? We seem to be quiet without them.

Oh, well, I have to go. Talk to you all soon.

I'm home from work - and I had a quick chat with ruby! She called me and I happened to be in the break room and heard my phone!! I told her that we all missed her. And I am missing the rest of you too! IAD - loved that God sign. Cute!

Have to go and sort stuff to wear for tomorrow - have an open tomorrow so need to get me to bed so I can get up and go right back to work. Should have just put up a camping bed in the break room. LOL

Sleep tight all - you are probably all asleep already!

GOOD MORNING everyone - rise and shine! Time to get going. Well it is for me anyway. Seems like only ten minutes since I was here last.

I hope you all have a wonderful day - I AM going to ride my bike to work today - there is a 40% chance of rain but I don't believe them.

Vicki, I hope that your hand is feeling better? Grateful - did you get to get any weeding done - they come out so easily when it has been raining but there is a fine line between the weeds coming out and being in a mud-bath - although the ground is already drying out - we are very clay-ey here!!

IAD - hope that you might hear something re your app maybe? Good thoughts out there!

MB - and all of my other friends here - and of course Ruby and Rog who are not here !!! have a wonderful day to you all!

Hugs, Sunshine xx
