Damn.

You know, the Kennedy's, I despise them.

But I still feel empathy for anyone who is so desolate, so hopeless, that they think death is preferable to working through the temporary problem, whatever it is, that I face.

When I first was trying to get clean, I'd stumble. And on a relapse, when I was feeling awful, I'd want to kill myself. I called my sponsor one of those times. He said, "Well, don't do that!!!"

I asked, "Why not?"

"Because you'd be killing the wrong guy," he responded.

Stayed my hand.

"Because you'd be killing the wrong guy," he responded.

Meaning, who'd have been the right guy?

Suicide is the permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Now, there's Rx Naltrexone®, Suboxone® and Campral® to help with the process; been there, done that, too, my FRiend.

Thanks for sticking around, Laz. Your decision took more courage than the easily carried out alternative. Additionally, your thoughts and wonderful humor would not have been enjoyed by the Freepers you have impacted over the years. Your sponsor was spot on!

Stayed my hand.

I'm very glad you share with us. You are amazing Laz.
