..am a sober man.

But seriously, do you think focusing a lot of attention daily on a problem will really help you to free your mind of the thought patterns that are fvcking you?

It didn't for me.

:thanks:

Well that's why I used meds. YMMV though.

What did you do?

This must be powerful stuff. I've just reached 20 000 posts on my way to almost two years of sobriety. Must I start over because I did it all wrong? :H:H:H

hmmm.
I've often wondered what would've happened if the people who took action and found a way out in other programs (including My Way Out) decided that since they achieved A Way Out they didn't need to participate anymore.

OR what if they decided that everyone else was doing it all wrong and they couldn't be arsed to participate because THEIR way was the ONLY way.

OR what if they decided that the same questions were being asked over and over and over again, and they couldn't be arsed to help someone--someone who is actively drinking alcoholically--find their way through the morass of information.

hmmm.

Daily posting seems to have served you well, Nanner. There's another on maintenance bac, who participates elsewhere, but not in meds anymore. That person struggled trying to moderate for a good long time before deciding to give up the booze for once and all.
Several others, too.
Seems to me, the only people who are still participating here from other sections are sober by choice without the use of meds. (Doggygirl, who is a champion among us for reaching out wherever and whenever.)

My conclusion is that it takes time, it takes patience, it takes participation... Maybe someday I'll have 20,000 posts. I hope I'm still reaching out, and remember what it was like when I had 100, or even 1000.

Much admiration.

For a minute there I thought I was imagining things. Having a super-bac-moment the likes of which I haven't had in many, many moons.

Turns out it's just a Reg. Only even more ...subtle.

What gives O Mighty Orangey One???

Hi Mario,

I did not say that. What I was trying to say that this guy maybe thinks that his approach and only his approach can help with alcoholism. And anybody else don't know what they are doing. Which reminds me to the AA mentality.
But I could be wrong! :-))

No need to apologize!

Anyway I came across one of your old post that you wrote back then when you started your Journey. It is a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Alcohol. I love it!

I just bumped it up. :-))
