Glad you are making plans for a better sober future... Yes there are AA meetings in Rome and Paris For specific info..... Alcoholics Anonymous : How to Find A.A. Meetings Blessings to you and your daughter...

Kieth, I appreciate your perspective. I have heard this argument before. I realize I painted a not-to-pretty picture yesterday. I am at a low point in my life. I am recently unemployed and fighting with that agency to get assistance. I see myself being forced out of my home in a months time if this doesn't change. I'm stressed. I consider my self fortunate to have a happy marriage, awesome kids, dogs, the whole works. I live in a...

Thanks LS. Making a plan is a good idea. This one could be a little strange, but I will get through it. Just got to figure out how. What's nice is that I don't crave the Alcohol anymore. Just don't need any temptations right now. I'm on the right path, that I know. Just want to make sure I stay on it. Also, I would skip this one since it's so close to my sober date, but you are 100% correct that skipping it as the...

I'm probably the most unpopular poster on this website. O well....

Dunno bout france, but there's quite a few BRITANS on SR... hopefully someone will come along who knows? Count it as knowledge gained, hon. Learning from it is the only way we can reverse a mistake.

Hi Julia I think nothing changes if nothing changes - you already know you can't drink - the sooner you accept that and stop trying the sooner you'll find a much better life, I think. I know it's hard to accept but it's Step One for a reason Does your daughter know the extent of your drinking? It's up to you, but if it were me I'd want her to know before the trip. I hope you find a good sponsor. Start looking...

Maybe I haven't been around long enough to know much, but I would hate to be in tib's shoes right now... Yeah, he was wrong for cussing out someone, and maybe the club had a right to bar him... but we are about support here, right? I've f*cked up plenty of times and made an a$$ of myself plenty of times.. he may have some issues he needs to work out but I don't think we're here to judge.. Just my two cents. Carry on,...

Please be careful. If your GF is in recovery then have another recovery person monitor you. Its very dangerous to detox without professional help. I am praying for you both.

Good Luck Josh, I hate this disease. I am staring at trying to pull the plug after a taper off. I'm gonna do it, it's going to suck the first few days but I need to try.

We all have been there... please don't take Xanex, I cant tell you what to do, but I know for me that really didn't help anything... and mixing it w/ booze is extremely dangerous... get into AA (thats what I did)... or detox then AA... best of luck Clayton
