Hiya JO,

I haven't gone the meds road, but i know that for me, it was all about my thinking, and less about my drinking. What do you reckon, and how are you doing there?

Hey Jo (at least now I know the song, thanks!),

Hang in there man. As lame as it sounds, there is actually a way out. I managed to stop digging my hole, at long, long, long last. As G bloke says above me, your thinking is where it's at - stop thinking it's over, and start realising you have found a solution. That for me filled me with hope. Just finding out about it was half the battle, the rest sort of happened. That was my way out - yours may be different, but know that there is a way out of whatever shit you find yourself in.

Look around here, and relax. You are in the right place.

God help me I'm on a bender

yeah man, you are in the right place. where else can you spill your guts in a big fecking mess and have people embrace and love you, even if that's the last thing you can do for yourself?

if you care to share, how goes it w your baby's mother? stay strong, mister. you are not alone. (do you know THAT song, bleep? worth a listen for a mellow moment.)

Hi guys,

It's morning here and i feel like all kinds of shit. Not going to drink though, which i have done consistently for 2 days, gotta stop sometime but i just hate having to feel stuff. This 2 day effort is something i haven't done for 6 months since starting on meds. I think it all just got the better of me and I had no willpower left nothing left to fight it with. Anyway, today is a new day and i'm not drinking for now.

Are you the one that lives in WA?

[bleep]

God help me I'm on a bender

This is getting really confusing - is WA the miserable dreary place that nobody in their right mind would want to live in, or is that Bedfordshire, Libya?

Miss Jo, my drinking went for a loop when I started baclofen as well, don't feel bad about it, although it sucks. It's the last kicks of a dying horse.

[Jo80]

God help me I'm on a bender

Yep thats me i'm the one from WA, i should have made my name Miss Jo Wa to avoid confusion!!!

I hope so badly that this is the last kicks of a dying horse for me too.

bleep, there's WA state, Washington D.C., and then some place that's not in America. WA state is awesome, much better than the blazing hot middle east where Murph's at.

God help me I'm on a bender

omg... this thread is too funny! Sorry Ms Jo Western Australia(WA)...... WA is Washington state in USA not to be confused with Washington DC which is on the otherside of the continent about 5000 miles or so ..... I reside in British Columbia which is neither in Britain nor Columbia (SA), it's in Canada...go figure.

Jo, nal+ drinking takes time. You won't see positive results until many months in.
