I just read this thread for the first time today, and just wanted to tell Betty and Andy that I admire them so much! I have alcoholics in my family and they would be the last to admit they had a problem no matter how obvious it is to everyone else. It is HUGE that you are both taking steps to better your lives. I wish you both the best and HANG IN THERE!!! |

Naaah stick with Bud ; )
Just kidding, you know I wish you all the best. Let's hope you take another step closer to where you want to be.
You look really different in that picture Andy. Your hair seems darker and you suit the stuble I think.
Good luck and best wishes to ya man. |

Sorry LBF, I read this late.
I don't really know what to say, but wanted to say something (that didn't make sense, did it).
You have the thoughts of the forum with you. And the force.
Sorry you can't hear these words of encouragement from me, but I hope you can feel them. Be strong.
Use the Force.
Speak soon yeah! |

We'll be called Betty and the Dumbass.
Happy New Year Betty. |

Betty, you are not a f*up. Just from quitting smoking, i failed so many times. Just know by going back and going thru rehab, it's a huge step and you're looking after your self. Keep posting up. You might stumble, but keep going, you can do it. Life sucks and sometimes you go through the pits of hell... but it will get better... just keep moving forward and don't beat yourself up if you have little setbacks. You're beautiful.
LBF I just read that you were going back too. Hang in there and let us know how you are. We miss you! |

Hold on to the sparkle Betty
Makes the fucking world go round
Present:
Don't beat yourself up either, you slipped, so what? I admire that rather than lie there and wallow you've picked yourself up and have gotten yourself going again.
Be well, Be back soon x

ok, I feel better.
Tre, I adore you, and the beautiful men dissipated my pity party.
I am again bravely soldiering on with a sparkle in my eye.
I swear to God, this place is awesome therapy!
I LOVE you,
Betty

Hello from rehab land.
I went home for Christmas and relapsed.
Now i am a fuck up extroidinaire, stared at even here.
I'm tired of this game. I don't want to play any more.
Depressed.
Trying to lift my spirits thinking about various men I find attractive. Don't want to play that today either.
I'm pouting. Knowing that doesn't help either.
How did I get so fucked up?
It's amazing to me than anyone is sane. This world has a lot of shit in it, and despite my best efforts I'm down in poo land. I know there's love and unspeakable beauty here too, but I'm so fucking damaged I only catch glimpses and whispers.
It sucks to try so hard for so long and not feel like I'm getting any better.
Love,
Betty
love,
betty

Don't worry, it won't be so bad. I went through the same thing; I spent six days in the hospitol in a methadone program over the summer. It was hard when I got out but every day things got better. After two weeks I felt 100% better, because that's when I started up again.
But anyway, good luck, I hope things work out for you. |

Betty/LBF,
Good luck.
While i don't have the pill troubles, I did just go cold turkey on smokes and drink on Dec 1st.
Been a pack a day smoker and a drinker (DRUNK at least once a week, sometimes more) for 15-20 years and decided one day I was just fucking done. There were things that pushed me over the edge, but they shall remain anonymous.
I hope you guys can kick the bullshit, cause that all it is - bullshit.

LBF,
I miss my cats a lot. Thank you for sharing Andy. Its nice not to be the lone ranger. Oceans of love are rolling your way too! I hope it works for both of us.
Tre, I hope I can meet you one day. I don't know how to put into words what it means to me that you sent that poem. Thank you. The earlier lyrics, are they FB?
He was in my dream the other night, doing I don't remember what... He was kind of a bastard, and had a wicked grin. Delicious. My libido is coming back as my nervous system resurrects itself. I thought I was a horn dog before... That was all a segueway to justify my need to tell you that I would pay a dollar fitty for FB to slap my stellar ass.
I miss my cds.
Andy, if you are in the south, you may end up at Talbot where I am. Wear a FB teeshirt or something. I know its unlikely, but I think it would be really cool if two forum members end up at the same rehab. :)
I love everyone here. The best support sometimes comes from the most unexpected places. Thank you.

Betty,
you're missed
hang in there honey pie
I wrote you a poem
Betty's having troubles
Addictions are a pest
Net nanny nurse
She could be worse
Like that one from 'cuckoos nest
Betty she is absent
From this forum it is true
To her we shove
These tides of love
And hope it helps her through
Oh Betty we do miss you
And wish you lots of good
If it starts to suck
then strum and pluck
Like proper rock chicks should
And betty know we love you
Even though my poem stank
well yeah it reaks
but when things get bleak
Remember, the excellent joy of the Frank
Love
tre
me

Net Nanny is meant to keep the drunks from looking at dirty pictures. Unfortunately it kept me away from here until another drug freak showed me how to get by it...
I'm okay, still wavering on whether or not I'm really an alcoholic. I probably am, but don't want to be at all. That would mean I'd have to stop drinking!
Practicing more, that's a benefit. I look forward to the day I can serenade you all! Must go, another meeting, I'm sneaky to be in this room at all.
Love,
Betty

Hi Betty... how are you doing???
I have been thinking about you. Hang in there!!! We miss you and can't wait until you are out and feeling better.
Do you know when you will get out??? |

Well Ativan, Librium, Xanax, etc. wouldn't really be helpful if you're withdrawing from something like ... Ativan, Librium and Xanax. She said pills, so that could be the case. But if its prescription stuff they should wean you off slowly instead of stopping all at once. Alcohol withdrawal can be particularly nasty. Hang in there, Betty. Fight the hallucinations!

Do they give you plenty of espresso and fine chocolate to take some of the edge off?
I bet they didn't, so here you go. Hang in there toots!

Posted - 12/02/2004 : 14:02:58
They should be giving you Librium or Adavan or something, that really helped me, I'm justing wondering why you are having such a rough time with the withdrawl symptoms...
It's probably the most difficult thing you'll ever do in your life, the bright side about that is everything else in life seems a lot easier in comparison
I always liked the phrase, "Drugs/alcohol will give you wings but take away the sky"

Thank you everyone. Any little thing to hold onto...
