They tried to make me go to rehab and I said.......Ok then.

[Alan Sex]

Also do you have to constantly wear anti masturbation gloves?

 

Probably.

 

They can't take away all the socks and seal the ends of the pillow cases though.

[Anny Road]

Only been here a few days but feel lightheaded with positivity. It will be a long slog but I’m starting the journey.

 

Despite my willingness to stay positive and look forward without being judgmental and building resentments a few little things are trying to piss me off.

As usual with me it is other people. Talk about being ungrateful and moaning. Other people here complaining that they have to meet key workers on a Sunday. Have to be up at 9 for a get together ( I was up at 5.30 cleaning). It’s alright for staff they get 2 days off we have to do stuff every day including Sunday. The food is crap. It is to expensive even though they are paying next to nothing because they don’t work. The bed is uncomfortable. It’s too cold, it’s too warm, Why do I have to attend AA twice a week.

Some of these unfortunates have no chance. They just don’t get it. They want someone else to cure them while they watch Corrie.

 

Sorry if I am ranting on but it gets it out my system. And breathe.

[Bjornebye]

When the drinking is taking more from you than you are taking from it, it's time to reevaluate.

 

Good on you. There are far more important things in life than alcohol!

You ok babe ?

[Spy Bee]

You ok babe ?

Better now I've had a few Stellas!

Tell them it is only expected of them for the time they are there and if they don't like it why don't they leave?

[Anny Road]

There was an AA meeting in this building this afternoon and I was the only one going. I dragged a young girl and one of the other blokes with me. It was a good meeting with nice people being honest and open. Tea and choc biscuits. It’s not like they were doing anything else on a Sunday afternoon.

Won’t bother next time.

They have no willingness to put in some effort.

You would have been the only person there otherwise right or wax if open to people from outside?

 

Are you staying in a hostel of is if a building used soley for rehab, also while I am not suggesting you do if what would happen if you went the pub and bought a pub lunch but didn't drink and what would happen if you find the same and had a drink and they found out would they kick you out?

[Elite]

Focus on yourself Anny, you can't make people change. It sounds as though the facility is the best opportunity that these people will get to conquer their addictions, if that's not enough motivation then that's their problem.

I agree with Elite fuck other people you can only save yourself remember AA is voluntary and it is down to the individual if they want to go. Don't lose focus of your own problems by wasting your effort with other people who don't give a shit if they carry on drinking that's their problem not yours.

[Anny Road]

The meeting was open there were around 15 non residents at it. Nice people.

 

It’s a specific rehab center / addiction treatment facility.

Going to licensed premises is discouraged as in most cases the will power is weak. I considered it for CL matches but should be ok to stream it.

Will meet the wife and kids and go for a meal but probably pizza express or the like rather than a pub pub.

Regular breath and piss tests randomly and I gather if you fail it a meeting is held and depending upon the individual circumstances you are booted or yellow carded and asked to sign a contract.

Great work mate, you should be really proud of yourself for getting even this far. Tremendous stuff.

I do agree and my attitude has always been that way. Fuck them. I’m trying to work it a bit and be a bit more helpful and empathetic. A this stage for completely selfish reason as it will hopefully make me feel good about myself.

Cheers mate.

[Alan Sex]

As far as the other folks go, Anny, fuck ‘em. (Not literally).

 

You’re there for you - keep your focus.

 

You know you have to be ready to fix yourself, and just use the place as a tool to get to where you want to be.

 

They aren’t there.

[TheHowieLama]

Not sure you should go down that road mate- you got a lot of time to spend with these folks. If you get okay with yourself there is no need to pass judgement on others. 

[Bjornebye]

Tell meg Ryan I love her

[Remmie]

Soberpunks.co.uk was the blog I was telling you about. Worth reading regardless of trying to give up booze as it's a good entertaining read anyway

[A Red]

Good luck, you will win.

 

I reckon i'm now the hardest on the forum now, but always remember, Anny i'm not your daddy

[ROADENDSMIG]

Anny, best of luck mate. I am 20 weeks sober now, largely because of help from others, many of them I never knew before and I would class as friends now. If you need, an understanding ear, here for you mate.
