Of course I like GSP as well! I like many of the fighters, but Anderson Silva is the best.....'the best pound for pound fighter in the world' lmao!

You are so true on the pound for pound. Hehe!!! Wow, it's the only sport I like watching. Oh, I love GSP too, so sweet and so focused. Me and hubby want to plan a trip to Las Vegas just to watch a great fight. Gotta look on Bisping. So good to see a MMA fight fan here.

Dec 27th is in Vegas...tickets are on sale now! We went to Vegas last New Year's but booked before we knew the fight would be there...we got in after it ended and we went to where GSP's after party was but line ups were HUGE!!!!!

UFC is apparently coming back to Canada, Montreal (8 hrs away), but I am hoping to get to this one!!!!

Hi guys.
Havent been on for while because Ive been in the ICU since monday.
It's a long story, but in a nutshell i had an overdose and crashed my car into a ditch.

Reasons for this because of VERY diffilcult time Ive had with my fiance (nothing drink related).
Spent friday night arguing/talking, as well as the saurday and sunday.

By monday, Id bascially "lost the plot" and decided that they were all better off without me".
Decided to first of all tidy up the house and make some fresh soup - so they would at least havie something hot to eat, bfore they realised I had gone.

Took the car to a quiet country lne and started on pills. Didnt drink AL with them, because I knew from past experiences that the AL was counter-acivating the pills.
Next thing I remeber is thinking that the pills have not taken effect yet, so i could drive slowly to a quieter lane.
I remember a cars headlights in the rear view mirror, and i was desperately tring to control the steering wheel. Even at this atage, I had no intent on causing harm to others.
I pulled in to the side of the road so i could let the car ovretake me, but then lost control and the whole car kinda spinned and crashed into a tree.
Apparenlty the paramedics had to cut me out of the car and I was unconscious andrushed to hosptal where I had to be put on a ventilator cos Id stopped breathing.
Went see the psychiatrist who disgcharged me once he'd heard my story.

So, I missed my apointment with N. E. C. beause it was this morning at 9.30.. but have a new appointment with "Turning Point" tomorrow afternoon.

Sorry for the miserable post

P.S. I have the police coming round on sunday to interview me, where they literally will 'throw the book' at me, because they took blood samples... and 50 Dothiepin/co-codamol/codeine/Feminax.
Im basically caught.. worst case scenrio i got to jail for a couple of months, and best scaeriao is probaby a 12 monthban.

Hon, do seek treatment for your depression. You know alcohol exacerbates it. Your kids need you hon. We care here. :l

Thank God you are still with us. I agree with Hart, definitely go to inpatient treatment if you can. I have been there and it will do you a world of good. It will also score points for you in court, trust me. You lived through this horrific experience, now the only place you have to go is up. You are worth it. You are loved, and we are here for you. I believe that God saves "some" of us, because he has a purpose for us. Please live to find yours.

Chelle are you able to talk to someone? Someone who can advise you? Are you alone now?

Sorry you are hurting so much not only physically but emotionally. Please make sure you get counseling the pills and AL will only make it worse. God gave you this chance now it's up to you to run with it and get better.

Chelle....I am so sorry!! We are here for you and I am sorry that maybe you did not see that in your heart before. We want you here with us, but we want you whole too. We will back you whatever you decide, but remember that when you're whole inside and out, then all of your parts add up to happiness.

We love you and are here for you no matter what you need.

Chelle, I am glad you came here to tell us what's going on. You got to a very terrible place in your mind, but you made it out the other side, alive. I do hope that this can become a turn-around place for you, a place where you become determined to turn your life around, no matter what! There is a lot going on in your life, a lot of difficulties, and you can't make them all go away at once... but you can take one factor out of it that will make a huge difference: the alcohol. When you decide to eliminate the alcohol from the mix, everything else becomes fix-able. But until you do so, I am afraid that everything will continue to get worse...

So, maybe now is time to become very active on your own behalf... look into inpatient and outpatient alcohol treatment programs; start going to AA meetings; keep coming here often; use all the MWO tools; and face the problems, so that your life and your little boy's life can be the way you want them to be. We will be here for you. OK?

Was wondering where you were chelle... so sorry to hear what's been going on. Sounds like a time to be very gentle on yourself while you do your best to get a little balance back.

Limers is right, forget about the courts for now, you will deal with that on the day. What's done is done. The important thing is that you're through it & out the other side. I'm so glad you headed right back here. Good for you, this is your thread after all!

Good luck with 'Turning Point' tomorrow. Hopefully they will offer support & guidance.
Keep warm & stay close chelle xxx

I am so sorry to hear this.

One thing that strikes me about you is that alcohol is not your main issue maybe? You just seem to have a self destruct button, and you will do anything to push it- alcohol is of course often an obvious choice, but as you have posted when things are going badly for you you don't really think of drinking, which I think most of us find the opposite. It is as if things are already going bad, so thats OK, you dont need alcohol that day.

I do hope that after this you finally get to talk with someone who can offer you some support and help- I think you have cried out for help a number of times but until now it has gone unheeded.

God bless you Chelle, I do hope you after this you are assigned the support you need.
