I'm a 52 yr old alcoholic male, unemployed at present living way out in the
woods at present. As I can seldom make it the 30+ miles to a meeting.
I do have my computer/on-line. I come here and read the posts and another
program related group.
I moved here from Texas where I had a home group, alot of meetings,
sponsor's, friends, etc. Since leaving my support group and friends. I've
found myself relapsing and have even laid a week in the hospital with dt's
etc. Very near death as the doctor even had my wife call what family I still
have that they need get up there as they couldn't stablize my blood
pressure.
I'm curious as to what I can do, other than read my Big Book and little 24
hour a day daily reader.

any information help appreciated.

Jeez, do you truly think relying on meetings, books and usenet posts won't
make you crazier than you already are?

Why not try actually taking the 12 steps?

The big book is a gread slleeping pill. It doesn't stop you drinking. You
need to distract yourself and i mean find a challenging hobby. Find
something you do really badly and work on learning to do it well but it has
to be something you're interested in.

I could stop any time! I just couldn't stay stopped until I actually
did what they did 70 years ago. It happens to be written in the first
164 pages of that (Gread?) sleeping pill!!

Hi Webby,

I can relate to your predicament!

I had read it, studied it, and memorized much of it . . . but I
couln't stay sober until I actually lived it (word for word). If I can
be of any help with your recovery - I AM here for you. Email me if you
want.

It's a bigger sleeping pill than the bible; and that never helped me either.

This has to be hard for you. If you have money yo could got to a 24/7
rahab. Also they have some free ones. If you can go you can not drink at
all. Are you on any other meds like benzos/ Im not talking about HP
drugs ect. You really can do this. But you just dont cold turkey an go
there. You have internet so use it. How musch do u drink a day/ Morning
afternoon night? Talk to us. we can get you started. YES ITS HARD. But
give us more info. Dan

If your 30 miles in the woods and unemployed hoe do u get your booze.
