given up

[Mikeinthesouth]

sorry too all i gave in to smack like the lil froggy got smacked

[CadillacJack]

Mike, it ain't no more than a hiccup at this stage. You've had over a month clean. You should shake it off and keep keep going as you have been.

Mike there are folks who care deeply about you here, Please post again and let us know how or if we can help!
If you slipped up ..so what?! ...Like CJ said only a hiccup.

[joann1975]

Mike...I am lost on what you said are you ok? If you slipped so what...pick up and keep going.... please let us know how you are!

[Rose703]

I'm not completely sure what your statement meant but if you slipped up it's no big deal just get back up, dust yourself off, and get back on track!! Please don't shut us out because we want to help no matter what happened!!

[hopsing94]

Mike,it's not to late to get things together. Man I think most of us have relapsed before. You have to keep fighting. This is not an easy thing to just quit. Please let us know what is going on. Whatever you do, don't worry what we think because we are all thinking we need to help this guy right now. Nobody is going to think bad of you. We are here to help.

[beck25752003]

[Friend999]

I hope he comes back.  It's been seven hours.

Mike, do you know how many wonderful people on here that are making it that have also slipped up in the past?  So you slipped up, you certainly are not alone.  You, too, can make it out of addiction.  Please post and tell us what you are feeling.

We are your friends.  We care for you.

unlike anyone I,ve ever heard of. Fall? pick your self up. It's not that you
loose your  center, it's how quickly you regain it. balance the rut of the past
with the infinite possibiliys of the futcher

[cathy5841]

okay mike...you are getting that pm.  right now...you know we love ya,  but what counts now is what you do next.  if you get up now you can avoid most of the w/ds.  the mental part will be hell again, but the physical not so bad.  going to send that pm.  love ya dude.

[addictedme]

Sorry Mike but I disagree with the others. Are you saying smack as in heroin ? If so its not just a slip up. I"ve seen a few people "slip up" on heroin and not make it back.Like cathy said ,,its what you do now that counts. Quitting is not the answer its the start. Its nice to come to the forum and talk to other people struggling but it takes alot more than that to stay clean.

[addictedme]

Mike let me add something that you may already know. People who relapse on heroin are the most likely to od then any other drug. When a heroin addict relapses they usually start at the same dose that they finished at. You know that an addict doesnt say "well I havent done it for awhile so I"ll just do half a bag",,right. This may sound strange and I"m not encouraging you to use but if/when you do plz think about what I"ve said and be careful. Dont forget that theres more people pulling for you in the forum than at the drug house.

Hey everyone....I am on the phone with Mike..he isn't giving up..He slipped up and started drinking..he isn't doing smack or pills...but addiction is addiction and he isn't happy about it at all..he'll be back on hopefully soon..

[addictedme]

Well thank God for that and how about theres more support on the forum then at the liuqor store

[GoingToMakeIt]

Thanks for the update!

Mike, we are all pulling for you. You can do this.

tell mike the alcohol has been calling my name too since i wont let myself take any pills. I traded the alc. for the pills so i know for a fact i cant drink since it will just start me back down the same path. Just tell mike us southern boys gotta stick together and hank did write a song about us.


incase no one knows what im talking about "a country boy can survive"

[worried878]

I see alot of support going on here for u Mike...please post and let us know u r ok...
Laura

[sadinmichigan]

Just like any of us ..when he is ready to seek help/support here..he will. he is far from happy about it..he doesn't know exactly what made him give up for now..I don't think alot of us do when we relapse..he chose to drink instead of the other and like he said..it doesn't matter. it's still an addiction and just as bad....all we can do is be here for him when and if he chooses to come back..He is well aware that he has support here and that liquor isn't going to "fix" it..

[sadinmichigan]

hey..get back to me when you can..i have been talking to Mike for about an hour..I am not going to post our converstion on the forum...but he wanted me to tell you something..

[gustaria]

Wow, a lot of people know you and care for you, and I am one of them. You have helped me in the past. If you fall it will be like the hero not panning out. Surely you will be back helping others directly.
