It's being such a horrible weekend for me! I am getting really upset. It's been raining here and the ceiling has been leaking in the bedroom, and it just all caved in, and some fell on my bed. I have a nasty landlord, who only got mad cuz I called him on the weekend. I feel angry, afraid, sad, tired, frustrated; but I'm trying not to go on a wet or a dry drunk. I'm trying to handle it sober.
I need to talk. *takes a few deep breaths* *cycles through the Steps* *tries to remember the slogans*

Hey Amanda, Living life on lifes terms, leaking ceilings, nasty landlords...I'm sorry you had a bad weekend.I have faith that you can get through this and stay sober. Keep venting, we're here, and we'll listen. Keep after that landlord until it's fixed.

Hey Amanda
I've been a landlord for years and drunk or sober never treated anyboby like that,or let something go to that point.
Start looking for a new place.--just a suggestion--If he's that bad who needs it. I worked in the rain the other day trying to get a oil tank/furnace problem fixed for a new tenant. Not even one of my long term ones. I know your venting, but sounds like u have an Ahole for a landlord. Stay sober and think! I have a bunch of my own stuff broke down, but still took care of my tenant. Good luck This will pass!!--Turn him in for code violations--suggestion only. Be ready if u do.

Thought for today:
When the shit keeps hitting the fan and is dispersed all over the room? TURN THE FAN OFF. :)
