Week 1

Hey dude - Hi from oz!!! Here I am too! Yes, it sucks, and I'd love to be able to give you a magic wand, but hey, i need one myself......
This is my first look at this program, and I am hoping it will cure me......what about you?

Week 1

I'm not sure what to say. Sounds like you're suffering from depression (I am too but I'm on meds). That could be what is causing you to relapse. Maybe when you get money go to a doctor and tell them how you feel. Its nothing to be ashamed of a lot of people are depressed.
I know I used to drink to self medicate myself. Once I got those problems addressed it wasn't as much of a struggle to stop drinking. Best of luck to you.

Hi sk8punk - great photo!!! Congrats for the 70 days....not sure where I am at the moment....
Yes, I agree that depression can cause a lot of self harming behaviours.....hmmmmm, looks like i'd better start packing lol! Seriously, do you find the program OK?

Week 1

Still Friday lol...... I'm going to see if i have the energy to cycle to an NA meeting tonight

[stillbreathin]

Week 1

Great! Put on your best cycle hoop thingies around your pants, a fetching hat on your head (or failing that, a tea cosy) and get your slovenly butt to that meeting! Promise????? I can stalk you from the southern hemisphere you know.....(evil glint in eye).

[jon_doh]

Week 1

I'll try and get there...... and my butt is not slovenly just a bit down at the moment lol

Week 1

jon - I assume NA works a lot like AA? Around here, you can call if you need a ride. If you have been using or if you just don't feel up to driving, someone will probably help you if you call the AA/NA phone number for your area.

Looks like this link has the hot line phone numbers for Australia. http://www.na.org/?ID=phoneline

My best sobriety tools are this web site and AA. Don't be afraid to use every resource available to you to get clean and sober.

Week 1

No - I will not accept try.....Hitler t-r-i-e-d, Napolian t-r-i-e-d, various crystal gazing freaks will t-r-y......
You, my new friend, WILL do the unexpected. YOU will get on the bike (despite your loathing of the action) YOU will help make tea and put out bikkies, YOU will be the person that others look to for guidance....ARE WE CLEAR?

Yes, you may be down, but (did you hear me, sorry, just repeat that BUT) BUT, you can still choose to move! Millions can't!!!!! Get up and hokey pokey -seriously, you can't help but smile!!!!
