Going Around In Circles

[nailedit]

I know what certain people on here think of me so do me a favor adn just dony comment,,,

As previously stasted, ive fell of the wagon after 5 months sobriety. Ive rang, texted and left voice mail to local drug and alcohol addiction services. They just wont reply!

I have a friend in a similar boat. He went into detx just b4 me and also fell of the wagon, and he to is trying again ..

They engaged with him again but not me.

What the actual???

What am I supposed to do? Im trying to get better but when the local drug and alcohol agencies give up on you???

Fed up of been plssed all the time. Dont want to be like this but fear that im about to die.

Maybe I need Jesus??

 

[nailedit]

Actually, an eternaty wwith jesus would be hell...

Imagine spending even a day with a megalomaniac?

They haven't gave up on you.  And I'm sure your family and friends haven't either.

Addiction services don't have the resources they would like.  You will get a place with them again and when you do value it.

They can guide you towards the right track but it's you that needs to do the hard work.

You can do it and Jesus won't be any help.  It's up to you.

hi naildit . why not just have a drink in the evenings. i am housebound and disabled and wish i had legs that work. it is no fun falling down sober,lol.

Try a personal visit, rather than an email or phone call, Nailedit.  You'll be a bit harder to ignore then!

//They haven't gave up on you//

They obviously have Sandy. Ive message after message. Nothing! I can't even go to my GP becsause then I get referred back to this.

On the verge of throwing myself of a bridge or under a train.

aNd the people will say,  "he didnt seek help£

seen this b4 with a very close friend 30 yrs ago,

he was in a right state but trying. ended up dying,

"Try a personal visit,"

Looks like it's up to you. Sink or swim. A hard road indeed, but, not impossible. I assume that you've tried the ten steps of AA.

THEY WORK....

[nailedit]

//hi naildit . why not just have a drink in the evenings//

maybe because im an alcoholic sparkly!

I totally get why people dont get where im at

(IE got full use of my limbs etc)

But because im an alcoholhic doesnt mean that I cant sympathise with the plight of others, because I do. The fact that im a pl33 head doesnt mean that im a totally self centred, addict. (Though addiction DOES make you selfish admittadly)

//I assume that you've tried the ten steps of AA.

You mean the 12 steps?

In all my years of AA they never did a frickin thing for an atheist.

hi naildit . why not just have a drink in the evenings.

er I am sure if alcoholics can do this.....

 

[nailedit]

Never in a million years would i have thought to give PP best answer.

But he nailed it this one time.

I just cant have a drink in the evening. or the afternoon or morning, Im an addict...need it 24/7

As you have done before - before, by an effort which frightened you (re-read your posts), you conquered that fear and went into re-hab. You won.  You can win again, but only you can do it. 

Where did you go before?  Try turning up on their doorstep if necessary.  They know you, they know you can do it.  They will have better contacts with the services you need. 

You need people around you to help.  Go out to them and let them know your needs. x

 

[nailedit]

How the hell do I get in touch with "sevices" when they wont get in touch with me?

Go to my GP and thet put me in touch with 'sevicea' they wont reply.

So im fukced.

is this pivatatazion is about>?

[david small]

You've lost control. Admit that you need help from a power greater than your own. Religion be damned.

There is a power greater than us, call it what you will.

You need help. Ask for it, admit you have not got control of your life.

[douglas9401]

Well I for one can't understand why they would hesitate.

[jourdain2]

david small is right, nailed it. Religion doesn't come into it. The people at our church would help if you were a satanist!  And no-one would preach!

[elliemay1]

Do your family know the hell you're going through, nailedit? 

[david small]

I reiterate nails, ten steps. You do not need two of them.

[nailedit]

//Do your family know the hell you're going through, nailedit?//

I hide it well...

[nailedit]

Thats the thing with addictcs (Drink or drugs) we hide it well.

Its a living hell until help arririves but until then its just a tortuous existance.

roll on death,,,
