Ang glad you hung up!!! PROUD of you
Hey Angie! I'm so glad you posted & I'm truly proud of you (but then I always am.) As you know, you're in good (or bad) company as Dig & I are also going through it right now & I'd like to thank you for being there for me, too. You're so right about us being accountable to as many people as possible. I agree w/ you & Kyle that you need out of the relationship but I gotta' say that even when you get away from that stressor & are on your own, you're still left w/ yourself (the ultimate test!) In fact, I've been finding it more difficult on my own in some ways than before I broke up w/ my SO. In a way, b/c of his bad behavior, I had to play the 'straight' man. Now, it's all down to me but I'll find my way through this as I know you & Dig will. The important thing is to fight the urge to isolate when things get bad. Reach out, Reach out -- Guard Up, Guard Up!
Congrats on keeping your guard up. Sorry that you had to go through that. Shady!!
Yes we will..It is also a learning Process too!!! lol
Amen Vic! We will get through this. We have to.
Well Girl we both were talking about this yesterday.. I told you & kyle I was having a hard time going into some of the posting..I was hit the hardest ever in my 1 year and 2 weeks. I have been on this Merry-Go-Round most of my life. This addiction will never be over for me until I am 6 feet under and on may way to heaven. It takes work everyday to keep that Guard Up!! ( I just love that saying) But for me I have to wear the Armour at all times with a sword..Every time I turn around it seems like some one somewhere has scrips or a beer or something not natural in there hand or mouth. I know some really need there pain pills, and they can do them right..My hats off to them. I am dealing with three in my family dieing with cancer..Now we just got a call that my Hubs dad has 1 month because of brain cancer. I can handle this day by day. They all lived a good life. This is not my Triggers right now..There are a few more personal issues that are driving me crazy, but it is turning out for the best..I am really seeing some bad things right now, that I am staying away from, but it really does show me that I do not want to be like that anymore..I am done with the games, the money that gets spent..ALL The BS. I can not help any of my Friends or Family right now..I can only help myself and if this is being selfish then so be it..I want to Live...The best thing I have ever heard on here or anywhere in my life so far about this, is what IBKleen said in ABNs post..
I MIGHT HAVE ONE MORE RUN IN ME.. BUT I DO NOT HAVE ONE MORE RECOVERY!!!
Talk about a wake up call..That did it..THANK YOU IBKLEEN!!
Thanks Ang for this post too..I was going to do one, but just could not do it at this moment..You said it all..lol
We must keep marching on and keep our head high and never ever think we have this Beat..HA!!! That is when the beast will reach up and bite you right in the ash.
Bless Us ALL..WE ALL ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!!!!
Yay! A good old fashioned kidnapping! Sounds like fun! ;)
So proud of you sweetie! That guy is a complete punk! Ugh... i do not like stupid people. You know you are a rock star in my book! You are worth so so much more!! I know you can and will get out of this. If you need any help we will all hop in a big white van and go steal you lol wouldnt that be fun?? I am so proud of you and thanks for this post we all need to remember to keep our guard up!
Do you have anywhere you can go to get away from them partying? That's a huge trigger, especially if you are already down and craving.
great job, iv been craving...coke mostly...today was bad i fear the holidays...and i fear moms bday...4 dealers are parting next door i want coke....ugh
Great job honey bunny! Way to stay strong!!!
Great job on turning those down !! hang in there and stick to your plan ;)))
Haha! Yeah, Kyle I can be a bit of a brawler when necessary! ;0 Thanks guys!
OK, so that explains it! Sorry you are in that situation! Remember to put yourself and staying clean, first! Above anything and anyone else. I truly hope that things work out with the BF situation soon! You deserve some happiness! Take care and fight hard.
Lol...Wow, you sound like someone not to be messed with. I'm glad to hear that you are so aware and aren't taking any of the BS. Good for you.
So, I'd expect nothing but great things from you in the future. Good post.

GOOD JOB SPONGEBOB! I am super duper proud of you querida!
My BF is a jerk. This is just one in a string of many screwed up, thoughtless things he has done lately. I know this and because of everything I am working on getting out of this relationship. Unfortunately I have no means to just up and leave, but will very soon. I know it's very messed up and I am not justifying his behavior at all. There is no way to justify that and he knows exactly what he is doing. He's just a selfish a$$ and doesn't care. Man, now you got me started!! ;)
Sonrissa said it, and you know it. Why in the hell would your BF even associate with someone who not only has pills, but is an a s s about it and tempts you? Think about it...What a horrible thing to do to and addict who fights everyday to stay clean. If something similar happened to me, I would NOT tolerate anyone who's supposed to be close to me allowing a friend to act as your BF's friend did. Do not gloss this over; do not just put it aside because he's your BF's this or that. I will happen again. This is a whole lot more serious than you may realize. Your BF is disrespecting you, putting his friend before you, and because of that he's allowing this to happen again.

great post Ang! you did great with the phone call! what a jerk! you are a strong woman...take pride in that! and yep...gotta keep our guard up all the time.
Well, if your BF really cares about you, and you staying sober....... Just sayin. Perhaps he could talk to and see him when you are not around! It's a sticky situation and I don't envy you! Stay strong! You're doing great!
I would love to delete this guy from my life. Unfortunately it's my BF's friend and he refuses to stop talking to this guy. I just need to delete my BF once and for all and problem solved!! ;)
Great reminder ariley! It's so important to be aware that these types of situations happen unexpectantly, and we must be prepared. I can't stand people like that! Someone who knows you have quit yet still calls with an offer. How about deleting him from your phone, and your life? Take care, and I'm so glad you made it through that!
