ok so after i posted the song lyrics above, i got a concerned PM from a member
of coarse i was flattered, then i felt bad for making him worry.
so after i read his heart felt PM and responded, i got to thinking and this forum has done tons for my self esteem in the past years, so i think it's time to let you guys in
it's time for me to air some of the demons i've been hiding from you guys, i've always felt my life is open book. so instead of re-writing a post i'll just copy and paste my resonce PM ... here it is
i know this is SPBT and all but this is no joke
"first off thats a song by mike ness (a damn good one too)
i'm not offended at all, i've hinted around it on the boards before
but never actually said ;
years ago ,i was an addict , pretty bad
i was up to about $80-$100 a day , living in my car, ...a real bottom feeder ya know . then i met michelle , someone who didn't use ,she wasn't like "the one who cleaned me up" but met her when i was already sick of of being a junkie. she was the original motivation. witch of coarse failed then she got knocked up
then i actually started "thinking" for the first time in years, .got straight (in patient, and out patient) that was 5 years ago .......................................................................
now that you have the official history lesson ..........
about 3 weeks ago, at the bar, i ran into an "old friend" . . (my first thought is #$%* ) anyway ' after the first ice breaking minutes the obvious came up , he says he's clean ......... turns out he lied . ..i had a weak moment . but i push through it.
he called me a few days later , but i'm still serious about being clean . then he calls a few days after that (waiting for me to crack, pure junkie move ) . i say to him "come on bro, do i really have to change my number?" " ok ok ok i guess your serious."
so thats my story....
SPBT is always where i've gotten stuff like that off my chest and it goes under the radar of most, except the select few that "get it" Wink (admittedly my earlier post was pretty obvious)
i appreciate the thought thats awesome
hmmmm maybe i should copy and paste this in the SPBT , others may have been thinking the same thing you were
i forgot to mention that i did go to meeting , (lost touch with my sponsor awhile ago)
i told my little story ,with alot more details of coarse (sorry i type too slow, and don't have the patience)
i has gonna go to another, but i don't know ..... it's been weeks , and i feel ok ..
