yep, I was wondering the same thing, Reg, but then I thought, this is so cool. Like having a real-life (no realer-than-life) social kind of group discussion (pretty much the same as a gathering in a pub) that veers off as the discussion takes its own course (pretty much the same as a gathering in a pub). Did I write that already? Never mind then (which of, course is a load of crap (my interpretation, not the discussion). Anyway, the point is, I'm loving it (even though I know all about radon already -- that's not the point here, though, is it? Or is it? I really don't know anymore...340 last night might explain it... partly)

Hey, what happened to your posts, Reg?

In typical beatle -- no, women in general – fashion (or is it zoned-out bac fashion?), I assumed I had got the threads mixed up, but I checked, and I hadn't... unless there was a hot radon discussion on another thread that I didn't see.

Please don't tell me that I am experiencing a hallucination which ftr is spelled (sorry Murph, I meant “spelt” – but it’s also a grain, so the possibilties for misunderstandings are too great to warrant spelling it spelt ... I think) hulcntn when I’m actually having one. I have a written record if you don't believe me. If you don’t you may not understand what why I am confused… then again, maybe not. WHERE WAS I…?

Woops! Time to take my baclofen!

No you are quite right, unless there is a group hallucination going on - Reg has inexplicably erased the most innocuous of posts!

Why Reg why??

In typical beatle -- no women -- fashion... or is it zoned-out bac fashion?, I assumed I had got the threads mixed up, but I checked, and I hadn't... unless there was a hot radar discussion on another thread that I didn't see. Please don't tell me that I am experiencing hallucination which ftr is spelled (sorry Murph, I meant spelt... I think) hucintin when I am really hallucinating, which is proof positive that I am not having one now.

Yes why. And the second one was so funny!

Must take a nap. But bac first.

And this is beatle's thread, Reg. And beatle doesn't take breaking the rules well.

What about 350 today.

Or is that cowardly?

It's not cowardly Beatle, but it's prudent. You have a chance that you may not have for a long, long while, at least until you travel to Africa. Use it. Screw prudence.

I used to know a girl called Prudence. I never would have done what you suggest. Not an oil painting shall we say.

I haven't read the thread, which is a cardinal offense in my own opinion, but I've got to respond to something that came up a couple of days ago. So.

Official hijack:

The devil is in the details. Or something! :H

I think maybe you (we) forget what it's like to be new here. I remember finding these threads, the Progress or Success, threads, and wondering why they just stopped. Frankly I assumed that all of those people just fell by the wayside and started drinking again, or worse. That's what happens to alcoholics, right? Brief success, a lot of celebration for a week, a month, 90 days, etc... And then, BOOM! They have a drink, return to square one and the dreaded white chip, full of remorse and self-recrimination, and start the fight all over again.

I think it's important to note the successes, continue the progress, mark the time, if you will. For all of us. I know that even we, those that are indifferent to alcohol, have doubts, concerns, frustrations. It does me good to remember all of those that are doing well. Abstinent, moderate, whatever. That doesn't matter. Not drinking against one's will? THAT matters. And that is still uncharted territory, even though it doesn't seem like it for those that have been around for a while.

A new member is a good example... Don't you wish that we had an example of a former cocaine addict to refer him to? Someone we could say, "Hey, look! It's been done!" But likely, if he chooses to take baclofen, he'll be the first. And then there WILL be an example. We need lots and lots and lots of examples. Don't you think?

So. Tip. There, or here, or anywhere, can we please have your story? Something I can look at and remind myself, "Hey, look, it has been done!" Don't underestimate the power of progress for the likes of Ne.

I'm going to ask Lo0p, too, to post on there, that he is still, indeed, indifferent, and drinks when, how and if he wants. Sheesh. That's simply amazing, isn't it? Why do you grandfathers in the group think your story is not important? Is it because you are so damn old you've forgotten what it's like to be new???

I called you out big and bold so even though you can't *see* very well without your glasses, you'll still notice your name! Hopefully.

Just askin. Not going to be mortally wounded if you just don't wanna... I get it. um. No. I don't. But still love you.

Sorry, beatle-bug, for the digression. I'll catch up with you later.
xo peeps.

Fair point. I suppose what I said is true, however now isn't quite that time.

Yet.

Where is Beatle? Enquiring minds want to know what happened. I do as well.

She's sleeping, bleep! All is well. I'll let her fill you in when she wakes.

Hmmmm. HMMMM. Lemme count the ways I take exception to this post.

I hardly think any discussion that involves Radon can be considered "hot".

Spelt is a grain. Not a verb. The Brits forget that things grow up and move on, I'm afraid. Old languages die. Look at Latin! The root of all the romance languages. pfft! gone. And old english? Thank goodness we don't have to spell like that anymore! What with the capitalized words here, there and everywhere. No rhyme or reason that one can make out without becoming a scholar/monk and studying it endlessly.

hallucination

|həˌloōsənˈā sh ən|
noun
an experience involving the apparent perception of something not present

That definition comes courtesy of my mac. Which beatle will understand. (power to the mac! as if it needs more... scary thing, Apple. Almost as scary as Microsoft. But wait. right. bac to the topic.)

By that definition, Reggie's magically disappearing posts could in fact indicate hallucinations. But they're not, since we all saw them and know that they were there. We also know that we like them and wish he would leave them. But bac doesn't fix shyness, apparently... But wait. bac to the topic!

Hallucinations are not, in fact, having a distorted perception of what is going on. Nor are they a reflection of the difficulty one has when going from sleeping to waking, when everything seems a little unreal. They are a different animal altogether. just wanted to point that out.
