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.
My sincere heartfelt thanks to jayeye as if not for him I probably would not be here now as he took the time away from his own troubles to help me with my own while I had no internet-thanks verizon and t-mobil-and somehow? was able to patch things beetween me and my wife, whom I really dont deserve , and now she wants to join this forum as an observer at first, and slowly participate in time. I need to set her up w an email account so she can do this.I want to give jayeye a huge high five, and do consider him a true-long distant freind. He was there for me and I try and be there for him in his time of hurt and need. He calls me Guido.
The staff just "fast reads" the posts,I think. You need to contact them by email.
Flag the ones you want deleted so they'll know...or...I'll flag them and see what happens.

Hey~ I'm not sure they will. They almost never do. You were REALLY fortunate they deleted the ones from several days ago...
Maybe Sara or Avisg can mediate this...

We're all in this together, Brother.
I think that leaving this post, undeleted, will be a good reminder of where you came from, in the days, months & years to come, in your recovery.
I like to go back to my old posts, sometimes, and see how far I've come along my path to recovery. It's amazing how much we all 'evolve' during this phase of recovery, and I think you'll come to see this post as a helpful reminder of where you don't want to go back to.
I know you asked me to 'stay off your post', but unfortunately, I'm a glutton for punishment and feel the need to reach out to others.
I applaud your willingness to gain sobriety.
