@Penguin

When will I start to wrap my mind around the fact that it’s ok to ask for help and that people can be accepting of me even though I’m a sad, depressed, alcoholic?

Excellent work my friend, this is the key!!! Super proud of you and thank you very much for the kind words!

[Rockstar24777]

I would go to meetings.
I would go to 90 meetings in 90 days.
And more.
I would get a sponsor.

[Complicatedmama]

@Penguin

I did something I was properly scared of today: went the the GP and got a referral for psychotherapy today,

Wonderful friend! This is exciting!

[Dazercat]

There it is

Way to go buddy!! So proud of and for ya.
Ya know, the number of times you’ve been kicked in the balls, get right back up, ask for help, and remain sober is beyond belief sometimes. You really fucking amaze me. I’m so happy you’re on our team.

[Penguin]

I’m glad you went and got that referral, well done
It makes me sad that you said your friends deserve better, I think like that too sometimes, even when they tell me otherwise…
You are so much more than your issues! I’m sure your friends have many things they like about you and are glad to be there for you.
When I feel bad about the people I care about having to witness all my crap, I remind myself that I would do the same for them in a heartbeat and I’m looking foward to taking care of them when they need it. That’s how friendship works, isn’t it? It’s not only being happy and having fun all the time, it’s also leaning on each other and sharing the hard stuff … at least I like to think so

@RosaCanDo in German we say “Scherben bringen Glück”, wich translates to “broken pieces bring you luck”

Wish I had a 567 to add to @TMAC s post! but this will do.
Checking in. Last Tuesday I applied to be a foster dog mom and Wednesday the Humane society lady came by and interviewed us and by Thursday we had 2 puppies!!
They are soooo sweet. We are in love, I might have to adopt them. It’s a foster fail! Except one barks a lot my fiancé doesn’t like the barking

They let my daughter hang all over them though. Might be a match made in heaven! Anyone who wants to be a dog foster parent, it feels like a cool gig and our Husky is happy that he has some dog friends now!

Congrats Mel on 90 days!!

For all of you. Never give up

[TMAC]

Thank you dear friend. I have been keeping tabs your recent-ish story as well, just haven’t really known what to say - I try to keep my big bazoo shut instead of saying the “wrong thing”. But I’ll say that I’m sorry that you experienced what you did, that creep-o was so persistent, and that it impacted you as it did. Not fun when boundaries are ignored and crossed. Hugs.
