I'm only going to say this one more time and then I'm done with you. Get yourself to the doctor or the hospital, and seek some help. I know you're still drinking. You'll deny it but you're lying. You're still drinking. You will die if you don't stop. There are people on here who care very much about your wellbeing, but none of us can help you. Stop playing the martyr and get to the doctor. Or get that friend of yours to take you. If she's a good friend she'll drag you there kicking and screaming if necessary. If you don't do this, if you don't start to help yourself, I'm not going to interact with you anymore and none of your posts will get through.
I don't want to keep hearing about how ill you are, because it's torture when we all know you won't do fuck all about yourself. All you do is wallow in self pity, tell us all how bad things are for you and then do sweet fuck all to try to help yourself. You have had a very raw deal with your family but please, please, seek some help before it's all too late.
He needs help, and if he goes to the places that were suggested months ago, he could get it.
Agreed. The swift kick was to hasten his pace towards the places that will help him.
While the swift kick to the ass can sometimes be all that's needed for someone just slightly off course, Phil is way past that..
He needs a swift kick in an intervention type manner.
I just don't think that's how mental health works anymore. People aren't yanked off the streets. Treatment is reserved for those that seek it, not those trying to avoid it..
People that try to help, and when that help is not acted upon, can get disgruntled and angry. Sometimes the person in need just needs a kindly voice to sympathise with. And sometimes the root of the problem is much deeper.
We're glad to hear this because what you don't know is that most of his messages to us do not hit this board. The Whine isn't the place for it but we do get concerned when when all we hear is the worst. We've all tried to help each in our own ways and if I come across as impatient with him it's because I care. Most of us on here do.

Hopefully there will always be an avenue for you to express yourself and to receive a sympathetic ear no matter what happens. Life has to be lived as a journey rather than a destination.
JD I haven't always agreed with your views but I really wish you all the best getting yourself well and in a good place. One day at a time, mate. One hour at a time on the bad days. Remember the only person responsible for how you feel and how you react is you. Hang in there buddy.
