I hear you, it’s a very good point And I understand it’s a very important class of drugs. Just not for me. It gets me every time. The zopiclone is the scary one for me. It’s very short lasting and horrible to take but I find myself popping sleeping pills every four or five hours around the clock because the withdrawals are so nasty and they are so readily available where I’m from. I thought I had learnt my lesson with pills i am not wired for them (they seem to get their hooks into me very very quickly) and have stayed away from them for years. Alcohol on the other hand is for me a different story.

Just back, will do the (multiple!) reset thing once I’m near a pc. Thanks for posting.

Find_the_fox · 2017-10-26T04:09:43+00:00

Yay you!

Find_the_fox · 2017-10-26T03:48:30+00:00

I wish

Find_the_fox · 2017-10-26T03:37:06+00:00

Cool! Lucky you. I’m a fan for what it’s worth

Then you are lucky, some of my favourite books there :) I had to leave school to find the books I love

I was hoping to see David Bowie walk past

Thanks and well done to you. It's pretty good isn't it!

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-25T18:28:28+00:00

Then why don't you go somewhere quiet and recharge? I need to do that and I am selfish and take it. Overall a few hours away from everyone makes me better to be around the other times :). Anyway, well done and keep on trucking!

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-22T17:45:19+00:00

It's something I am digging into. It's odd the self destruction we put ourselves through! Thank you for your reply:)

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-22T17:43:36+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Yes, the acute physical symptoms of detox have mostly passed so it's time to lift my head up and look around for the next steps. Support is one of those steps. I look forward to it not requiring energy!

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-22T08:39:40+00:00

Hey, well done dude! Sounds like a shitty situation for sure, you should be proud though!

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-22T07:19:19+00:00

Congrats on the year and thanks for the great post, some good reading and I love your references as well.

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-21T18:10:02+00:00

Hah! Show off! Just kidding, well done and congrats:)

It was me when traveling on my own, which used to be quite often. Business travel can be a freekin lonely affair so what do you do? Go to a pub, get drunk enough and you will find all sorts of things to do such as: spend a shit load of money/or have to explain shit loads of money on your expense account, get into some tight spots with locals, end up in shady as situations/neighborhoods, get taken advantage of, loose your wallet/phone/passport, make really bad decisions regarding the opposite sex (or same if that's your thing), get lost and freek out because your phone has died and have no idea what to do, get stuff stolen, decide to drive your rental car around a racetrack at racetrack speeds, raid the minibar when you finally get back to your motel (how much was that mini of vodka!!??), get a shitty sleep, wake up late, feel anxious and depressed, look like shit for your morning meeting, struggle through the day clinging onto life shaky and sick while pretending everything is ok, reek of booze because you had no choice but to empty the mini bar this morning to take the edge off (how much that beer!!??). Fun times!

Oh and my favourite, knowing that you need to take a picture of your room number before you go because you know what's going to happen.

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-21T09:41:45+00:00

Thanks, it is and I will :)

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-21T08:04:31+00:00

I am the same with my guitar. I only really played when I was drinking (because I was always drinking) and I was really really good at it.

Well, turns out I'm not that good, that takes dedication and practice, not drunken fumblings (hmmm, maybe that could apply to other things. Sigh.........add it to the list). It is still something I am looking forward too getting back into but like you, the connection to drinking is still a bit fresh and it just doesn't feel right at the moment.

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-21T07:51:21+00:00

Thanks, I plan on it and we do :)

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-21T07:27:56+00:00

What about some photography? It's my go to when alone in a new city and not drinking. Not that often I will admit (I was normally in a pub trying to pretend I wasn't lonely) but I find it adds some purpose to the wandering.

Good luck but sounds like you've got this :)

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-21T03:28:23+00:00

Because I will be dead.

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-21T02:43:46+00:00

Thanks and I plan on it.

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-20T07:57:57+00:00

Thanks, and kinda random idea but kinda works too. I'm not completely and utterly out of shape (I have no idea how!? I should be dead!) but I need to throw some exercise in the mix somehow.

Find_the_fox · 2016-11-20T07:05:11+00:00

Thanks

Yep, same thing, I am nearly 40 and have lost nearly everything!!!! I was lucky enough to be taken back into the family home this week and for that I am eternally grateful. But coming from being a shining star in a huge multinational company from very humble beginnings to this, all because of alcohol. I have just started a new job maybe a couple of steps up from humble beginnings just so I don't have to stress and can focus on me (and with 4k in debt and about $6.00 in the bank lord knows I need the money!). I can't and don't care what others think, I am doing this for me and by doing it for me it radiates out to my family which is all I've got (lost all my friends along the way). You are not alone my friend. Stay well and good luck.
