Going down

[worried878]

It is always emotional for me to see someone go down and give in after going so far....not if they take a few or even a bunch for a few days and get back on track...it is hard to see someone give up and go away after posting with them for so long....most dont even say they are leaving to go back to the pills...they just disappear and u hear from them again months down the road when they are in trouble again...still bothers me ... Mike..if u  go back into the pills...i will miss u...please reconsider and stay with us...u have come so far

Worried you know better than anyone my up and downs, And Mike I am down, but not out. After the 2nd time failing. I didn't really tell many people here. The addiction makes you feel bad about your self. I thought about just leaving. But I decide I was not going to give that kind of power to thses darn pills. As long as i am here, with my friends and others I do not know yet, I have a better chance of beating this thing..  So do you my friend... WE will shower you with love and support!!!

Good post - it doesnt matter where you are in the process - stick around -

In some ways I/maybe we are more saddened by never hearing from someone again than if they use or relapse. Could just be me but that is my thought. I worry about people it's my job in life....so even if I don't talk to them all the time I am aware of them on here!

Worried is right Mike. I have messed up before, many times. It's hard to post after something like that because you don't want to let someone down. You have to get back up and keep posting for your own good. Even if you are still using, get back here and get started over. We will miss you if you don't. This reminds me of a friend that I miss very much (BlotoutTheSun) I know he is out there, I'm sure he is using but I still miss him and wish he would come back. The same for you Mike. You are a strong person and can beat this. If you didn't want to you would'nt of come here. Please for your sake,shake this off and get back on track.

The self inflicted shame of relapsing does not have to be. I wish that people would continue to post and just be honest with themselves and us.
   Mike, we all know the pressures and temptations of addictions. I have failed so many times in other areas. This time I have done well but it is a learning curve. There are so many pitfalls during recovery. If you need privacy then PM me or anyone else you can trust.

i second what worried just said....hang in there and come back....and above all else, do NOT beat yourself up for a little slip up....a little hiccup....will look forward to seeing you again on here....you have all the support in the world right here....

That was a good post. I know there are SO many struggling right now. I don't know what it is or if it's that I have been here longer now and have more friends. But I have about 3-4 friends that are down right now. I just want to hug everyone & tell them it will be ok. But all I can do is pray for them.

But please Mike and anyone else don't think you have to run away if you slip/relapse... please talk to us. We worry about you and would like to hear from you no matter what!
