Having to double click everything

without comments

It might just eb me..But is anyone else having to click onn things again. Like I will click to post reply. And it runs down at the bottom a countdown of items remaining then wont post and I will have to click it again. And when I want to click on the top limks to certain forums..I have to click again. Sometimes I have to click to another page here to get into User CP or Chat..If I am just in a certain area of the forums it wont do naything. But if I click say Newcomers and change the screeen...the I can go into Those other links. Like User CP ..chat..blog..Anything in that toolbar does that.

It doesnt do it on any other site except this one.
Was juts wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this same thing.

But my computer hasnt been actin right here since the power went out in that ice storm a couple weeks ago. I had Verizon here already and they put a router on my hookup or whatever.

Just wondering.

Can I please ask for some countdown support?

without comments

Hi guys, I know I am only new here (today), but I am starting to stuggle, and have no support, well I do, I have my wonderfull husband and my oldest daughter who is 19, but I can beat them with all sorts of excuses and good intentions, I never lie, but they fall for any reason I give then about being in controll or that it is better for me to have another drink.

I am cutting down on my intake because I don't want to detox in a center again because it is so far from my husband and children and if I go back they will keep me there for 3-4 months and we can't afford for my family to travel & visit me, my children are my life, and I quit rehab last time because I couldn't see them, and I ended up severely depressed.

Also they put me on drugs to stop seizures, which are some of the same I had a 12 year addiction to (I have been clean from them for 12 years now) and I like thm too much, they scare the bejebers out of me, so I need to do it this way.

I used to drink 3ltres of wine per day 14% and had to detox in a center because of seizures, now I am down to 10 cans per day of beers at 4%, I need to knock off 2 cans per day now, to get to a point where I can safely detox at home, but now I am struggling.

I am scared, and the more scared I get, the more I want a drink, it sux big time and I feel like I am close to losing it and going backward.

I guess I am asking for some tips/tricks/hints on keeping on reducing my intake so I can stop in a few days time.

Any help would be so appreciated, thankyou guys.

Watching Death Happen..

without comments

I've been lurking on this forum for 2 years and am grateful for you all... this forum has helped me immensely. I thank you all. Today, after 13 months of sobriety, I'm seeing the first signs of relapse in my fiance.. but i'm 2 years along in my personal program and I have released him to his HPÂ…

...Have you ever been told a loved one is dying of terminal cancer? It feels the same way to me right now, at this moment. And rather than focus on the "cancer", I've just resigned myself to "enjoying the time I have left with him". The countdown has begun, but he is unaware of it.

I've decided that by the time "it" happens (and I leave him stranded at Salvation Army), I will remember him as the wonderful man he was, before the terminality occurs. I am sad, but am trying to Take Joy in our last Good Moments Together before The End.. just like when a loved one dies of cancer... Thank you for listening...

trying to stop myself from having a glass of wine

without comments

On day 12 today alcohol free. The headaches have gone, and I feel good. I did a tough gym class at 6am this morning and I am tired now, and I would love a glass of wine tonight as it is Friday night. If I do, my countdown will go back to day one and I will regret it tommorrow for sure, because if I have one glass, I know I will have two.

I hate the fact that I am stressing over this, and that in turn, tells me I have a problem. Why can't I have a glass of wine without the guilt and remorse and the disapointment in myself? I wish I could be like everyone else. Went to the hairdressers today, chatting with her about alcohol. She said she has a glass of wine sev times a week. Thats it, she doesn't crave it or stress if she doesn't have one. Unlike me.

I am going to have a coke zero and an early night. This is what I am aiming for, but it is oh so difficult.
