I just get aimless, and regret my existence, looking back say the next day. I can't do this anymore.

I don't really have any advice for you, but I will keep you in my thoughts.

Answer my question, please.

Have you ever gone to meetings?

It's a nasty disease. I have helped two people whom I cared for who suffered from it. Both of these guys were killing themselves, their families, and their careers. Nothing to be embarrassed about, though. In fact, one of those guys is someone every Planeteer has heard of. I would wager that 90% of the posters on this board have at least one of his records. So, I can tell you that it's a disease that can affect anyone. No respecter of income, status, or fame. It's a disease, though. Nothing more. So it's treatable.

So ... here's the deal. You need to start going to meetings. You need to do 90 meetings in 90 days. Look up AA in the yellow pages or on the net. Call the main number in your city. They will tell you where the nearest meeting is. If you can't find a meeting, tell me what city you're in and I'll find one for you. I'll find several, so you can select the one closest to you.

There is only one treatment for this, Mr. Simply Red. Only one. 1. Self-diagnosis and self-help isn't it. Get your ass to a meeting and do it today. It's a small step. Just replace doing the laundry or playing video games or watching an hour of television with a meeting. That's all there is to it. Let me know after you've gone and tell me what you thought about it.

Good luck Simply Red. Your ChiefsPlanet family is pulling for you.

Edit: Sorry for reviving the thread, SR. It was still open in my browser from last night and I didn't realize you wanted it to drop.

I'm assuming no, Mr. Fax.
SR, perhaps this isn't a bad idea. You can catch a meeting any day of the week. Just call and go. (Please don't drive if you have been drinking)

You are appreciated around here man. Even though we never see each other we are a community, or a family of sorts and we try to be there for one another.

that's EXACTLY correct, and this is why i chose to expose this problem.
