ummm. wait. What I meant to say was:

Bite me, buddy.

Now. I'd like to know who is going to bring about the really deep discussion concerning the nuptials. That I think start in a few short hours...

So you say that you are leaving...

Murph you are a riot,
so please don't even try it
You say that MWO has become a bore
and that you don't want to do it anymore

A chap as funny as you will be hard to find
a wit like yours is one of a kind.

Oh hell...who I am kidding. I will leave the poems to coalfire.



I really hope that you are not leaving due to someone who just a few days ago starting speaking a slight version of patios. All kidding aside, you have your reasons.

I remembered thinking this was hilarious when I read it and I had to quote it here.

Thank you all for your support and the laughter, although it was quite difficult to explain to my wife, when she came over to see what I was laughing at, why there was a picture of a spotted cat with his knob out on my screen. "I was trying to explain to them about spotted dick. I think they found the name amusing. Some of them are Americans. They don't get spotted dick over there. I know, I feel sorry for them too.". And also why I was reading a forum called "My Way Out"..."No dear, it's not about suicide. No honestly, I'm fine. No, I'm not feeling suicidal. It doesn't mean that, it's...oh just stop bothering me and go make me a sandwich woman." And that's when she punched me in the back of the head. Don't mess with Mrs Murph, she's surprisingly violent when riled.

Before I go, I thought I?d leave you with a list of my answers to the same old questions that keep on coming up, and a few others besides.

Murph?s Baclofen FAQs


Q I?ve heard that baclofen might make my hair greasy. Do you think I should risk it?
A No! What?s the point of sobriety if you have greasy hair?

Q Hey, I?m like sooooooo into my looks and I?ve heard baclofen might temporarily make my face go a bit saggy. And shit, if that happens my whole life might as well be like, you know, over. And I?m just like, soooooooo not exaggerating here.
A No don?t take baclofen, it?s not worth it.

Q I spend an inordinate amount of time working out in the gym. I really feel the need to have a perfect body so as to look good for men. I?ve heard that baclofen might make me lethargic in the beginning and I won?t be able to work out.
A Well, it certainly is important for a woman to look good?wait?you are a woman right? You didn?t actually say whether you are a man or a woman. This question is making me uncomfortable.

I honestly cannot believe he said this. This, after I was a complete gentleman and extended my best wishes here: https://www.mywayout.org/community/f2...ml#post1103655

Oh well... I don't know how much longer I wanna be around either.

Alexan,

The man has made comments directed at me that had me cringing, or stewing, or blasting him in email. grrrr. But they're almost always so damn funny I couldn't help but laugh. Out loud. Literally. (Takes the sting out a bit.)

Murphy has single-handedly offended most of us around here.

I'm honestly hoping that he's taking some time to reflect on this during his self-imposed exile.

'Cause you gotta admit, that comment is actually funny. It also shows that Murph is a bit of a wanker. (yep. called you a wanker on your own thread, M.)

The other stuff? That's between me and Lo0p. I'll continue to disagree with him. But I KNOW that he knows more than I do. And he is a really good guy. You are in good hands. If it's working for you, hang out. There really isn't any place else to go that you can share all things bac related, (plug for baclofenforum.com) unless you want to join up with the people who are taking 80mg/day because of their spinal cord issues... Their life-threatening stuff is very different than my life-threatening disease. I certainly don't fit in there.

We're not so bad. It's just a bad time in the meds threads right now. (sorry)

Don't go. At the very least we need more pretty muscles around here, now that Lo0p is off the market.

Alexan hang in here, if its helping you beat this disease/alcoholism/heavy drinking, We are not always going to get on with everybody that posts here, but for the most part everyone is fighting and going in the one direction.

Don't blame him alexan, it's just a huge misunderstanding. Most people, in general, misunderstand us. Whenever I'm directly asked about it, my answer is always: "My body is a reflection of what is in my heart. When people see me I want them to say: "Wow, look at him! You can see that boy's heartbeat through his skin!"

I know from talking to you that it means the same to you as it always did to me. Our "routines" are intricately and symbiotically linked to our sobriety (or at least mine used to be, back when I was an alcoholic). The best I ever managed before I finally found my way was back in '07 when I did this:

Mon: 250mgs Antabuse, 45 minutes AM Cardio, Back Day
Tue: 250mgs Antabuse, 45 minutes AM Cardio, Chest/Abs Day
Wed: 250mgs Antabuse(?), 45 minutes Fasted AM Cardio, Day Off
Thu: 45 minutes Fasted AM Cardio, Leg Day
Fri: 45 minutes Fasted AM Cardio, Shoulders/Arms Day
Sat: 45 minutes Fasted AM Cardio, Day Off
Sun: 45 minutes Fasted AM Cardio, Day Off (I'd get smashed to hell this day too) after"suffocating" all week long)

And woe be me if I faltered or fucked with this schedule at all, because I was a perfectionist to a fault. All or nothing. If I fucked my diet up and had a bowl of ice cream on Friday night it would have been a damn good reason not to take that pill on Monday.

It only lasted six months or so, but it was the best six months of my life up until that point and would remain so for the next two years.

edit: And I never had to rely on my physical state to pay my bills.

See ya Murph, Your rant was self explanatory.....don;t really take heed of people who don;t take your advice, think a lot of people are fools or drunken idiots, the ones that cross you at least. Sorry some of us have become so boring, half wits etc etc. that you can't stand our ordinariness or humaness any more. You must be some kind of superman in the world of alcoholism. Or even in the world perhaps?

Glad I wasn't one of your little fishes, I am far too familiar with sharks (well ones who think they are sharks) to get caught on your hook. Your disdain for people who don;t think the way you do has been evident from the start, but your glorious humour has managed to hoodwink many. You have honestly managed to make me feel sad murph. You haven't revealed a damn thing about yourself but still think , without revealing your frailties, you can reign supreme. To be honest, I feel sorry for you.

I don't believe you at all. in whatever you say. You know who you remind of Murph, the guy in the bar that thinks he knows everything.....the one that people drift away from....the bloody pain in the neck who disdains people, and no one really wants to talk to. I won't miss you at all Murph......you made yourself very clear to me very early in my time here.............the one who knew everything, but really didn't know anything at at all.

Missy

Alexan don't go away...there are people here who care.

Missy,
I lurk but come back when I need to. DO NOT post when you are obviously drunk.

Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary

Sorry to disappoint you lady but not drunk tonight.......even if i was, would just say the same thing. If you have a problem with what I said then it would be better to just say why, instead of trying to denigrate me . I stand by what I say. Don't take over from Murph,. in saying people are drunk and stupid, because they have a different opinion.

In this post Lo0p you have also described my training too when I was in the best shape of my life during several alcohol free periods in the last 5-6 years, only difference was that I wasn't taking antabuse - I was white knuckling. I was such a perfectionist that I didn't realise how lean I was at the time. It was only looking back at photos, after alcohol got a hold did I realise the level of conditioning I actually did acheive. I do know my training is an inherent part of me, but non-athletes find it very difficult to understand. So reading Murphy's post I had to take a step back, and look at it as simply being made in good humour.

I also meant to address this. I should have littered that post with emoticons. They were sorely needed. They would've looked like this:

:H and and :h for you, Murph.

Your exile is self-imposed. Not a reflection of us. (Please don't come out swinging, MWO is here for you, is my point.)

Don't worry folks, he's just doing the final phase of his surgery, he'll be back. He just needs some time to adjust to his new self. Chaz Bono would be proud.
