Gemmill 43175 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 We might need to temporarily CLOSE THE BORDERS on here, if this Chinese invasion continues. Either that or the mods are gonna have to set up a rota system patrolling TT's white cliffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye on it this week and see if I can do anything about it over the weekend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a pain in the arse than it might seem. Fingers crossed some tweaks like that will be easier once I've upgraded the board software 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20611 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 So this is interesting. I'm going through another period of alcoholism. Don't no why. Drank the house dry. Now got the worst withdrawals ever. I am such a shit. This is hell in Earth. Hope I make it through. Guess I can't drink after all. Sorry for all the people I have hurt. Going to quit, again. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to overuse cliches but you're on a long road and you've just taken a step back. You're not back to the start again. You've come a long way from where you were, remember that. You're a good lad, Renton. It's not easy but you will be okay again. Edited July 10 by ewerk 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Craig. So random. Just started drinking and couldn't stop. Why, I don’t know. Clearly I need to stop, for good. I hate my self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate my self. Hate the disease, not yourself. You've had a stumble, that's all. I think the realisation that you can't drink just a little bit is probably right. But this stumble was the only way for you to learn that. Now you know, and you're better armed for it not to happen again. Good luck and stick around on here so we know you're alright. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe take a break from work for a bit, take a bit of time to find whatever works to take genuine care of yourself? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't too hard, but clearly I have no off button. I just want to be normal. Not gonna happen though I guess. This withdrawal is fucking brutal mind. Thanks for all your kind words. Going to go to my mums now. Don't want the kids see me like this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a normal waiting for you, it's just not the same normal you thought you once had. I promise you can find an even keel again, and setbacks like this do happen along the way (I've had mine too). You can't just deprogram your behaviour overnight, and sometimes it's specifically when you think you're doing well that it suddenly hits you out of nowhere. I'm not saying it's complacency (though it was for me) but you get what I mean - there's not always a rhyme or reason to this stuff. I can't remember if I said it last time or not but I found SMART Recovery really helpful. None of that "admitted I was helpless and surrendered myself to a higher power" stuff you get with AA, but rational, evidence-based, analytical approaches to working out your triggers and behaviours and things you might not realise about yourself. Pop your postcode in here and get yourself along to something in person (or online if you prefer): https://smartrecovery.org.uk/about-smart-recovery-meetings/ Start talking about it and keep digging, it feels egotistical and a bit weird but there'll be things you figure out about yourself that'll help you. And whether you go down that route or just keep sharing on here and figuring it out yourself, best of luck, you know we're all thinking of you and hoping for only the best. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
