G, tell us how your move is going. Will you have nicer digs in upscale neighborhood, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, or will you be sharing a mattress on the floor with another musician? What's the scoop, my man?


Hi Juja. The truth lays somewhere in the middle, but the price of real estate of course ROCKETS when i'm near! :H

Yes, i'm a lucky fella Audrey!

Audrey. Here is a womens info number below. They are Melbourne based, but they will listen to you and give you some feedback/options and put you in touch with your local women's services. Verbal and emotional abuse is not okay and is now illegal here in Victoria. It's a tricky one to prove, but it is NOT okay for someone to abuse you or to live in that environment. Personally i would boot him out until he gets his act together. He might be a nice guy underneath, but he is not a nice guy with alcohol, so he needs to step up, take some responsibility, and make a choice. If he has already made his choice (to keep drinking), then that is up to him. Maybe you need to make a choice here? I know i'm sticking my fat nose in to your personal business, but so be it.

An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

Here I am back again after some time away. Tried to drink moderately for a while but things have not improved at all I am still the same old binge drinker I have a question about Antabuse. If I take it on the days that I think I might need it (luckily I can identify them usually in the morning of the said day) will they affect my liver? I was told by a previous doctor that she wouldn't prescribe it for me " Not with your liver!" She said.

I successfully gave up for 87 days last year using this method and it seemed to work for me until I slipped off the wagon. :thanks:

G'day Over it. Good to see you.

I know K9 takes antabuse as do a few other folk around here. Maybe pm her?

Best wishes on your journey. G-bloke.

Virus sorted due to a very kind neighbour

G, so very happy to see this post, especially from a guy's perspective. You've laid it right on the line. It's NOT ok to take this kind of abuse. Audrey, I worry about you being so isolated and I know when in this position we can accept the unacceptable. I've been in a similar relationship and the only way to make things right for me was to get out (it took a long, long time and I wish so very much I'd got out sooner). I didn't want to say it to you before because I know we're all different and I didn't want to impose my own 'stuff' on your situation.

But, now that we have a healthy male pespective on things, I would back him all the way - you absolutely DON'T have to put up with it. I don't know if you did start a thread for advice (not looked around yet) but I hope you can take such sage advice from G and perhaps contemplate changing your situation. I'm out the other end and am a completely different person (still working on it though). I honestly don't know how I managed to survive when I look back. Obviously still a little damaged and doubtful which is why I didn't say exactly what I thought when I first saw your post. You don't need it honey, you deserve more, and it's so bloody hard to get healthy when in such a damaging relationship. I wish you love and strength for whatever you decide. Sorry for the ramble! xx:l

Welcome back Over it! We all come back don't we? I am on day 6. Emotional week but getting better. Hello to everyone else. It sure has been pretty quiet over here.

Well, yours truly succumbed to the evil drink last night. Yep, 14 wonderful AF days, and then bam! I'm paying for it today in body, mind and spirit. Four glasses of wine kicked my ass, and I deserve every bit it. I'm so damn mad, and disappointed in myself.:upset:

Slept this afternoon, mostly to turn off the negative thoughts, and it helped.

I will get 30 days AF. I will, goddamn it! I'll stick close to my friends here, and read, read, read.

Have a good Saturday night, or whatever it is where you are!

:l

P.S. Over it>87 days, that's damn good. Come on, let's do it again!

Hey Juja,

Best thing you did was just to come here and say "hi... eh, slipped... BUT getting right back up again!"

Which you are :woot:

Keep reading. Keep posting.

Hello everyone!

Juja - glad that you had a good sleep. :l Great to see your positive thoughts!!! Yes - you ARe going to get to 30 days and beyond!!! Yep - we're going to do this!!

Over It - I think I'm on 8 days now. But, I'm taking antabuse now. I was on antabuse before but I began to play games in my head and started to skip the pills. How about if you cut the antabuse in half and take it everyday so that it's constantly in your system? Just a suggestion, I'm no Doctor by any means.

Clear Eyes - congrats on Day 6. Way to Go!

Aundrey - great job on Day 9. :l Please take care of yourself. :h

Hello to everyone!!! I'll check in later. xxx

Thank you, dearest RC, for the encouragement.

I dreaded having to confess my slip. I was ready to go AWOL again until trust and rational thought prevailed. It took me awhile to realize I wouldn't get lambasted or shunned, so I jumped in, and did it.

Will I ever learn that you folks won't abandon me because I'm imperfect?

:l

Hehe. Yup you are imperfect, because I am imperfect, as is everyone. That's the we love you

It's how we're all learning here together as individuals that matters. (I think that makes sense :H)

We're hunkering for Sandy tonight, and I don't know if I'll be able to talk to you for awhile. We may get nothing here, or we could have major power outtages and flooding. I'll post when I am able.

Take care all, and those in Sandy's path, be safe.:l
