It was My Fault Journalspace went down :( part one:The early years
Author: Maurice A. FitzGeraldYup.
see I started a journal at journalspace like 3 or so years ago and since that time I made more then 4500 posts.
That blog was the start of my life.
Here are some characteristic posts of mine from July 2005
No hospital!
posted 07/29/05 Psych stuff
I drank last night.
Not much.
I beat the odds
no hospital, no homelessness, no scenes
perhaps it would be better in the hospital
Did I mention
I am an alcoholic?
Just A Book A pencil and paper.
posted 07/31/05 Personal poetry
I imagine prison as forced exposure to other men.
I assume I would ask for solitary confinement
Just A Book A pencil and paper.
How many more years could I stand It.
One would need to be sure the
books were good.
Am I going to drink today.

Am I going to drink today.
I would like to feel some feelings
I would like to be happy
I don’t resent anything
I don’t think anyone is out to get me
I’m not bitter.
I don’t want to run
where are you going man?
what the fuck!
To me Journal space was the only place I could say whatever I wanted. I hadn’t started the journal to meet anyone so I really said whatever I wanted. I have always been an incredibly retiring person but I also feel the need to communicate. I don’t know how I could gotten sober without journalspace.

JS helped me also, many times. The comfort and support of friends is really something. I know it will never be the same but maybe they can get close.
