hello

hey guys can I join in. I've been a lurker for a long time. Got 4 months sober last year and caved at xmas and kept on drinking everyday until 40 days ago. I now get it - I can not ever drink - but need the support here on MWO to stay sober. I'm seriously going to try tomorrow to quit the ciggies as I feel they could lead me back to the booze. Gonna be hard as I've been smoking for 32 years. Anyone got any tips or is it too soon since giving up the booze? Cheers

Just had one of those out of the blue urges and caved, so feeling pretty disgusted with myself. Saff, I hope you get the answers you need to help your wee dogger.

Hi Mishy,

I hope that you are feeling a bit better this arvo. I caved in about two months ago..was angry with myself too. Since then I have stepped up to the next level, having learned so much about myself from that cave-in. I learned not be complacent for one single second and to keep working on my plan sometimes ona minute by minute basis. You go girl, you can do this. Love and strength, Saffxx

Evening all, and welcome Hijinx!

I gave up the death stick's 15 yrs ago, and it took me a few tries. The grog and smokes do seem to go hand in hand if you're not used to any other way. I had to stop drinking (before my alcohol problem became what it is today) each time i tried to stop smoking, and stay away from pub's, parties, smoking environments. Only you can find out what technique work's for you, whether that be giving up the smokes, or the grog. Anyway, best wishes, and look forward to seeing you here more often.

How's Saphy, Saph?

Ah, a very productive day here. Growing beetroot you ask? Nope, making guitar feedback orchestration's. How much can the neighbour's take? Hermit on one side, (this may be his excuse to introduce himself) and yuppie on the other, who ultimately i couldn't give a toss about.

Happy birthday Waves!

Hi Hijinx and a great big undies welcome to you:welcome: Great work on your 40 days af. I am assuming that is what you meant? Anyhoo great work!!! I cant advise on giving up the ciggies, because I've never smoked. One vice I didnt pick up..just as bloody well as I picked up every other one. Have you tried the patches or tablets? My uncle had a lot of success on Zyban and he was a 60 per day smoker. It will be great to have you around.:goodjob:

Geester Saff has been to the vet again today and he seems to think that she has improved a bit. She is now eating and drinking and lookiing really pissed off about not being able to walk. She has regained some sensation in her feet and is trying to sit up. I am optimistic today...one day at a time.

Keep on playing G. just keep on playing. The cops gave up coming to our place last year..neighbours were always complaining about the boys playing. Maybe the neighbours just lightened up a bit and stopped ringing them. Thing is we never complained about them mowing lawns at 7am or firing up the grinder at 10pm.

Hi Saph,

Well that sounds like progress. At 8, i'd reckon she'd have lot's of go in her, and many years of living to enjoy yet. A bit like you.......:H..............err, ok, and me!

You betcha! I'm an old hand at noise pollution. Geez, i often make a living from it. I don't make noise that often, and i usually keep it to day time, and if i'm e.g. laying down drums one arvo, and it might take a couple of hour's, stuff 'em, i mean, i'll let the neighbours know. It's my work.

Hi Guitarista and Sapphire - thanks for the warm welcome and Saph hope your dog keeps on improving. I'm typing this with my old dog (15) by my feet who is still in good health just abit deaf and my gorgeous burmese boy cat sitting on my lap. Yep I am 40 days sober and definitely want a sober life. Mish - I've read your thread, don't feel bad or shameful/guilty as that just leads to a long stretch of drinking. I fell off the wagon last December after 4months sober and let that guilt and shame keep me drinking, more heavily and dangerously for 10months. This last "drunk" really really took it out of me and I don't think I have another recovery left in me so I have to do whatever I need to stay sober. I've been seeing a psychologist who specialises in addiction, exercising daily (although not for past week as sprained my foot at work and off on workcover - back to work tomorrow) - now that would have been a great excuse to drink as I was in pain, immobile and nowhere to be for 7 days. I didn't though, went a bit crazy, lurked on MWO alot, read some alcoholism recovery biographies, deep breathing and prayed - plus smoked a whole lot of the dreaded nicotine sticks. I have in the past had up to 2 years of being sober but this is a truely cunning disease and no matter how long you've been off the grog the next time you hit it it gets progressively worse. I do feel I'm fighting for my survival here but god damn I want to take my last breath on this earth, which is hopefully 40 years away, SOBER! Thanks for listening guys -- your posts whilst I was lurking really inspired me to get sober and have been keeping me sober.

Last minute check in. This arvi turned into a bit of a Benny Hill -esque comedy, but nuff said.

HI HI JINX :welcome:

Good night Bridge - love your name and avatar! I've read alot of your previous posts and had a good chuckle. Sweet dreams

Well Hijinx spraining your ankle and having time on your hands and in pain etc. would be the perfect "excuse" for drinking, but you didnt so that is indeed a great thing!! I am like you and dont think I have any recoveries left in me....I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired...bored with the whole grog sodden half life. Good news about seeing a specialist in addiction...they arent that easy to come by in my experience. This is a truly cunning disease, but I have decided that I am much more cunning than that bastard al!!!! So I intend to outrun, outsmart, outlive the beast. Together we can do this!!! I'm off to bed...will catch up with you very soon. Love and grace Saffxx
