Hey Pete, first time I've checked in in a while and I just wanted to say, congrats on being so far ahead of the game (of recovery) in such a short time. Game? I should call it a battle. Sure is one for me!

I wish I had done what you did at your age, gosh my world would be so different now.

Hey man!
Just wanted to chime in and say I identify with a lot of what you have said in your last post about the feelings of guilt and all of that. I guess that is something a lot of us have to get over to get better. It's a roadblock for me, that is for sure.

Thanks guys. Well, my first day at work felt exactly like that. My FIRST day of work...I felt more out of place than a Welsh rugby player on an indoor soccer team.

Thanks Murph but I don't deserve much credit. I didn't go back today. I made it a block away and started freaking out. Actually I take that back. I'd been freaking out since yesterday. It sucks because that job would have been amazing. This whole super self conscious thing and not having any confidence in my talking abilities is killing me. For the past 10 years most of my interactions were anxiety-riddled conversations that I wanted to end as quickly as possible, and it looks like it's all caught up to me. I don't know what to do.

Aw, Pete. It's not easy transitioning. It's really, really hard sometimes.
What're your options at this point?
The opportunities don't stop, Pete. They keep coming so long as you keep looking for them. That includes maybe working this situation out, too.

When you're ready for a big ol' pep talk and a little woohoo! lemme know. I'll be right here.

Sorry Pete, that sucks arse. I recommend meditation...in a flippant, throw-away kinda way because I have no other suggestion, but also because I have recently started coming to the conclusion that meditation holds the key for us post-switch baclofiends.

Meditation and vegetarianism, obviously. Plus supporting Wales in the Rugby World Cup, which starts next week. Gooooooo Cymru!

I'm hanging in there, nothing too exciting going on in Pete's world atm. Oh, I did join the Marines and am leaving next week, though.


Just kidding.

Murphy, I worry about you sometimes man. I'm concerned about your failure to eat meat, and your health. I just don't want you getting Vaginitis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTog_NtCEio[/video]]south park vegetarians suck - YouTube

And NE, I'm always down for a pep talk. But no woohoo's.

Hmm...My dad just invited me to go on a week long trip to AK w/ him, 1 relative, and some of his friends that I'm acquainted with to go salmon fishing. Part of me is thinking this would be a splendid vacay to get away from my routine, and then my anti-social side is saying I shouldn't. I wasn't allowed to go on these when I was growing up because my mom didn't want me to get eaten by a bear, and he's never invited me before because I was a raging alcoholic. Decisions, decisions...

Oh, and I read about the story about the doctor cutting off the patient's knob in surgery, and it reminded me of Bluto's thread

[Murphyx]

I must get over to Bluto's thread to see what the fuck you're talking about. Has Bluto been Bobbitted?

Pete, what's the score on your dosage? Is the doc still keeping you on that level? Maybe you should go up for the anti-anxiety purposes.

I've been pondering what you mean about Bluto's thread and knobs and I still can't figure it out. Do tell SP. What am I missing here?

[SlipperyPete]

Good to see you around here Red

I'm assuming Bluto hasn't been Bobbitted yet. His response in the liquid Cialis thread made me laugh, so I was just giving him crap for it :H



Edit: Wowzers, he erased it. Shitty

Yeah I'm still on the same dosage Murphy. I'm not sure, but I'm wondering if bac has maxed out its anti anxiety properties. I feel like I've been taken to a natural equilibrium, and further reductions would be unnatural in a sense, kind of like with Xanax or Valium. Seems as if the only ways to further reduce anxiety would be exercise and experience. Damnit.
