Thanks to everyone for all of the dramas, the triumph, the setbacks and the ultimate victories! I want to wish every one of you the best going forward and I hope that you make it to a sober and prosperous future.

Good Luck all.

Thank you everyone.

Dave, your post sounds like a goodbye. What is going on? I saw that you had a relapse, but you know how to get up, dust yourself off and get back on the wagon.

I hope I am not overreacting but I've written this way when I was at the end of my rope and ready to give up.

Please give me some peace of mind and let me know where your head is at.

[Dave_]

Thank you everyone.

Thanks mate. All ok just lost the path for a couple of days, it seems to happen to me. No foul, no one knows and no one got hurt but it's a fucking hard life being drunk enough to keep crap away and sober enough to do your job. Bad scene and bad friends that made it too easy for me to fuck up.
Not their fault just got carried away and now I am reigning it in. Wife and kids have gone to the beach house for Easter and I am weening with extreme prejudice.
Public holiday tomorrow.
Sorry for being a drama queen but better you guys than anyone at work or in the real world.
i will survive, thats just what I do.

Thank you everyone.

its the transition that fucks with my head. i know what I have to do and I knw what the next 48 hours has in store for me. This is almost old fucking hat now. A process rendered humerous by its simple ongoing repetition. Ah well, no one to blame, no excuse given. Just FFS!

Thank you everyone.

G'day Dave,

Hang in there mate. You'll feel better after a few AF days. Two questions i've asked myself a few times was....'Do i actually want to live sober, or do i have to get sober?' The percieved 'pressure' of having to get sober used to stress me and backfire often, but the deep down honest want to get sober and live sober angle, is a mind set i've had to cultivate and get to, and it's a process. It's turning my life upside down and shaking out all the lies and myths that drinking relaxes me or gives me a good time. No, it always stresses me, and depresses me, without fail. The good times are because of good company, not booze. I know you know this. I'm waffling on a bit, but the gist of this post is to say that you are not alone on your journey (even though our journey's are very personal ones), you are an amazing man who has so much to offer yourself, your family, and humankind, and you can and will kick the booze to the curb, and take your precious life back again.

It sure is a cunning and baffling disease/affliction/problem we have.

Back in the saddle buddy.

G-bloke.
