Guest placidburp Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Same, I have been PMing him a few times but not heard anything since his relapse. He did mention that LUDD is his brother in law, maybe he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berk Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Recently saw an old friend pass after years battling the same demon as you George. It was such a shame for all of us who knew him and failed to recognize how bad his condition was earlier on. The first year or two it seemed like good fun, that he just liked to have a drink with his mates and pass the time. When help was finally sought like you he was already at that event horizon and presented with a decision. But that decision didn't end at the moment he said to himself that he was done drinking and unfortunately after a couple years of being clean and playing right he surrendered and his decision was voided and retroactively taken from him. Stay strong george and for god sakes put the bottle down. George, I don't know if posting this is a smart thing to do, but two days back, a lady who lived across the street passed away just like Drahken's friend because her liver broke. I heard she also drank way too much the past 20 years. She was a very nice woman, had a good sense of humour and always seemed very lively, it's a real shame, she was only in her 40s. I did not make this up (why should I anyway) and I thought of your other thread, in which you seemed to be alright, when I heard about the neighbour. Just hang on, that's all I'm really saying. Hope the support from essines and the empathetic posts in this thread will help you accomplish sobriety soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest countchocula Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 To call United Kingdom , you have to dial: 011 + 44 + City Area Code + Number you wish to call. I found this from google and copy+pasted it. I am sorry if you have already tried this combo and it did not work. Also could you have the operator connect you directly? I am not being a smart ass, in the US you dial 0 for assistance. I really want to help you figure this out because I am sincerely worried about George.

Guest hahathhat Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 i've never had serious addictive issues, only marginal ones. however, in my limited experience, i've found the best way to deal with it is to get involved in PROJECTS. things that require 100% of your brain, so you don't have any left over to fret about whatever you're trying to get away from. doesn't have to be "productive" either -- if i were kicking heroin or something i could see grand theft auto IV keeping me off the junk.
