I need a good support group
Its hard goin this alone. Im soon going to be weening from klonapin from 2mg a day at twice a day for a lot of years. I have this beer drinking addiction going on at the same time , and that is usually after I get off work at midnight, its kind of like a wherewolf thing, I only indulge at night and hate myself the next day. Both these addictions escalated after I went off on my boss threw my badge and keys at him and walked out after 8 yrs from the best job I ever had and that was in 2004, My benzos increased over time and so did my drinking. I had previously lived in key west and in my mind I wanted to be there so I started listening to jimmy buffett , started drinking corona and escaped reality of the life in the midwest. Those days are gone now and I have gotten older but the drugs and the beer are still there.

Have you started tapering down? I am really happy you havent been drinking too!!!
Swagger, I have been coming to this community for several years. I am a taker when it comes to this site because I only post when I need support. Not once in all that time has anyone ever been rude or even mentioned that fact. I have tried to quit taking pills many times and always found that while I was here it made me happy. I wish I was not so selfish or busy that once I got clean I could take just one minute out of every day to contribute to this site. I think you will come to see just how great this community was,is and will forever be. Dont get so upset if no one is posting because I can promise you that regardless of a post they are watching, reading and praying for you. Good Luck in your battle and may you find happiness and beauty in life.
Your post to him wasn't very nice. That's why it was deleted. It may have been your opinion but name calling is against forum guidelines.
As far as my "meaning" earlier : My reference is to the post you made several days ago. The one you asked MH to delete. Remember what you said? I'm not going to elaborate because I'm discreet.
Now,how about you talk about the drinking and drugging and what kind of support you need and what your plans are to stay completely sober...

I've said this quite often in other posts/replies...
We can show you the path, but you have to choose to walk down it.
No one says you have to walk it alone, as I'm sure there are a lot of people here that can empathize with your situation and will walk with you.
But you have to choose to walk the path.
I can feel the pain in your writing & words. I was once in your shoes. Maybe not exactly in your shoes, but close.
The first step is admitting that you have a problem and that you need help, which you have and are doing just by being here.

I have talked with you in pm's. Here's a bit of info on me. I shoot from the hip. I have a heart of gold and am very compassionate about what i do here. I want everyone to get and stay clean and i will do whatever it takes to help them. I say what i believe and sometimes my words can sound very cold and cruel but that is not the meaning behind the words. I dont pamper, coddle or kiss butt. I am tough, loving and will be the first one to say i am wrong. We dont make you angry swagger, you let yourself get angry as sometimes the truth really does hurt. We understand what you are going thru, really we do. You have told us that you threw out your pc and wont be on much so we wait for you to come back and tell us how you are. I am a recovering alcoholic and i offered my support with that and gave you a name of a lady here who has a ton of knowledge about benzo's and she offered her support to you. With addiction it is up to you to reach out and take that offer. We cant do that for you. Your issues with your wife go deep and needs to be dealt with but you have to get clean and stay sober to do that. I am very happy to hear you havent drank in a week. That is great!! We wont beg you to stay as that has to be your decision. We will be here to support you if you decide to stay. I hope you make the right choice.........sara
