I was only messing mate, bad attempt at trying to bring a little levity, what you said made complete senseYou're right...I've deleted it.
It's right, though, mate. People tend to think: "well I'm nowhere near as bad as he got, so I'll carry on and worry about it when i get near that stage". Most people that get anywhere near that stage, don't recover.I was only messing mate, bad attempt at trying to bring a little levity, what you said made complete sense
No one meant any harm or malice. Sometimes a little joke is a good thing. Sometimes we write things down we are feeling, it just comes out.I was only messing mate, bad attempt at trying to bring a little levity, what you said made complete sense
haha...cheers! I'll drink to that!No one meant any harm or malice. Sometimes a little joke is a good thing. Sometimes we write things down we are feeling, it just comes out.
No one will judge if it's from the heart, i'm sure.
When I made the post about changing the thread title yesterday, I put cheers at the end, without thinking. I soon went back in and edited it once I realised! Probably not needed, but did it anyway.
Mark do you think your outlook on it all is part of your way of dealing with it? A defence mechanism if you will? You've been through a lot but you seem to have a dry humour about it.haha...cheers! I'll drink to that!
Yeah...it's my way of coping. I'm a bit too open as well..haha.Mark do you think your outlook on it all is part of your way of dealing with it? A defence mechanism if you will? You've been through a lot but you seem to have a dry humour about it.
Not in anyway suggesting that's a bad thing, in fact I think the opposite.
Just interested in your take.
Brilliant mate, thanks.Yeah...it's my way of coping. I'm a bit too open as well..haha.
I DO feel like I owe the world one, though. I've applied to do some voluntary work helping other alcoholics...hopefully i can get to do that soon. Scares me bit...but fuck it...if i can help one person with my experience...
Chee...thanks, bud!Brilliant mate, thanks.
I've met a few recovering addicts who have the same attitude, that's why I asked. It's strange how much we all have in common, and how easy it is to pick up on.
Addiction, denial, hiding it, pushing friends + family away, self pity, realisation, action, relapse, recovery.
All things we share in some form. Our common goal is getting to the recovery stage and sticking with it. If a little dark humour helps i'm all for it.
Thanks for your honesty it's appreciated. I'm willing to bet you've already helped people on here.
Good luck with it all mate
