Whatever you want. I just like the idea of it being like an AA meeting. There are no rules or boundaries (except for the RYL ones). I hate rules, I have enough issues with control as it is!

I have something to ask though: do you ever question whether the pain you feel is real or not?

Personally? No. I know it is real.
Do you mean that you feel alcohol is exacerbating it for you?
In that, there is something there, but the alcohol intensifies it?
Not sure...

I've been sober for six months, it feels like five years, and at the moment it kind of sucks. Still the best thing I've ever done for myself though!

Hello to all
Gee - I have done, yes.
I'm currently finding it hard to avoid drinking more than I know I should because I'm scared of not being able to sleep through the night...

Hi my name is Adrian, I am a recovering addict. I haven't used in 7 months. Cutting, however, I've only got 30 days. Kind of feeling a little nervous about the potential for SI relapse, but otherwise I'm good.

If you are comfortable with your level or addiction/dependancy is it really a problem? If it affects the people around you e.g. you are stealing from them etc. then yeh, it's a problem for the people around you but if you feel comfortable and in control of your dependancy surely if can't be a problem, right?
Maybe this is me in denial, I don't know?

I'm not sure, I have days where I think with my head and days where I think with my heart, if that makes sense. Realistically I guess it depends on the damage it's doing to you? But at the moment I'm thinking as long as it's under my control and I'm keeping things consistent etc. then it's ok.

Zed, I guess I agree. I've been thinking about that a lot recently, I still don't know how I really feel about it. I want to tell someone I'm slipping again but I don't want them to try and stop me, I'm not ready to stop. Before I enjoyed it being a secret but this time it's like the words are dirty and I want to spit them out, 'I'm struggling'. Hmm, I guess for now I'll keep it a secret.
Oh and to top it off we are starting Addiction in psychology this week. Great! Thanks for your replies.
