Smed, Sorry to hear the news. Going to be some tough times but a lot of people beat the Big C. Hang in there and vent all you want.

My Mom has Allzheimers so I get to slowly watch her lose her mind and forget who we are. Not a pleasant situation. Watching your Mom battling Leukiema ain't going to be any fun either. It is what it is.

Just get back on that wagon. Falling off is a helluva lot better than staying off the wagon. Mistakes happen. Learn from it and move on.

CaliforniaChief · 09-03-2011, 06:29 AM

Smed, yesterday is yesterday. Today is a new day! Just make good choices today and you'll be right where you need to be.

My prayers and thoughts are with you (and you too MadMax) for a full recovery for you and for your mom.

You can do this...

griZZly64 · 09-03-2011, 06:31 AM

if anything i was trying to make him feel better by making it not seem like that big of a deal.. cuz its not.

Dude, Honestly I didn't know what you were getting at in the PM - No apology necessary. I don't know what to say, that's awful. Drinking can be really really bad for MANY people, myself included.

You can PM me anytime & sure we can meet up sometime, Brent.

Three things:
1 - Sorry to hear of the medical issue for both you and your mother, but cancer is not always a death sentence. Obviously it isn't a good thing, but it can be beat. Good luck and may God be with you during your fight.
2 - Falling off the wagon is nothing more than a pothole in the road of life. Get past it and continue with your journey. None of us are perfect.
3 - If you can't vent on CP, where can you do it? Draftubator, true fan, Cassel ballwasher, or just plain ass, in the end we're just one big only slightly dysfunctional family and when the defecation hits that proverbial oscillating device someone will generally have your back.

Rasputin · 09-03-2011, 07:43 AM

Hang in the Smed, am praying & rooting for ya to beat the C word. One day at a time and if need be one moment at time.

I've been on the waggon since my Dad died in October of 2009. Never easy and seems like a constant battle. Every day is a new day and all we can do is make the best of it as it comes.

I am greatful I can call you friend Smed & look forward to playing some more TH ~ now that's where you can vent after I take mo of you moneys.

This.

Plus, if still possible, I'd delete the thread.

We've all been in some similar place (addiction, personal illness, loss of a loved one, got canned) and just didn't know when to push the keyboard away.

Smed if you were strong enough to kick the bottle for two years you can sidestep this bump in the road and keep on cruising. Thoughts your way buddy.

Marcellus · 09-03-2011, 08:34 AM

Already said a prayer for you but you have to help yourself as well.

Hang in there.

teedubya · 09-03-2011, 10:36 AM

Hang in there smed... sending love and good vibes your way, man. You can get through this... positive energy is what you need, my friend.

Dr. Johnny Fever · 09-03-2011, 10:44 AM

Best to you smed... there's some good advice is here.

Delano · 09-03-2011, 10:42 AM

In the face of those life-altering events, you could have done worse. Fight that ****ing cancer and take your other issues one day at a time. If you have the will power and ambition to fight addiction, you've got what it takes to battle cancer.

We're here for you.

Everyone saying it's okay is full of shit. It's not okay. If you've been on the ****ing wagon for 2 years, you'd better get right back on it. You've got problems in your life, but they're only going to be exacerbated if you can't control your drinking.

Cut the bullshit. Get yourself to a meeting. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop drinking.

I don't know you, but I'm sure you've got people in your life who care about you, and you owe it to all of them as well as yourself to get yourself right.

I took me a while to figure out, but it hurts the people that care for you more. To me booze never does anything but make my problems worse. Good luck.
