The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[Thumpalumpacus]

Just woke up, clicked on the thread, woot, what a relief! Ofc that doesn't make your problems vanish Stim, but you made it through one more of these days, and that can't be a bad thing.

Gotta go now, more later.

Recovery -- from addiction or any other sort of pain -- is day-by-day and often moment-by-moment.

That's no lie.

Well, I'm standing in Michelle's at the moment, from where I was kicked out this afternoon. One minute I'm in my flat fast asleep on vodka, suddenly there's the crashing of my front door getting smashed in and police flashlights in my eyes. Long story short, I had a huge ass chat with the three officers attending and they were very understanding. They phoned Michelle to tell her I'm okay and find out if she could be with me or me go there. Upshot is I'm okay, as in physically. Emotionally I'm still just numb. I want to apologise to everyone for all the drama I caused and thank you all for going to so much trouble for stupid old me.

This is the best news I've had since the last time the All Blacks won.

I'm so relieved to wake up to good news. We love you Steve and we couldn't let you do it! I'm glad you understand that we had no choice. I'm so sorry you felt that suicidal

Thanks so so much to Jenny for getting the address, Losty for waking Hammy and to Hammy for relaying to the police while I was asleep. I felt bad going to sleep at all

Thank you to everyone, you are all terrific and you all pulled together to save our wonderful friend.

This shows just how important Steve is to everyone here

So fucking relieved!

[Darwinian]

Phew, that's a serious relief! I suppose we should have a whip-round now to get Steve a new front door. 

[Iroscato]

Please don't do that again, Steve. Please.

I'm glad you're still with us.

dawww... On behalf of everyone here, sorry for waking you!

Next time, maybe answer the phone, young man!
And don't buy vodka, dude... why do you keep doing that to yourself?!
Go for diet coke - same flavor, only 1 calorie (they just couldn't get the last bugger out!)

Glad you're doing ok, man.
You scared the crap out of us all. Take care.

[Alex K]

Please don't do that again, Steve. Please.

I know what Iro means, but - If you ever feel like that again, please, please, don't hesitate and scare us again, don't keep it to yourself - tell us, or someone!

[Iroscato]

Yeah, what I meant was - I hope you never get that low again. But if you do, for fuck's sake tell us!

[Losty]

I've tried to pm Stimbo, I'm certain that he's just sleeping but if anyone else hears from him first, please tell him to contact his dad.
