Cap, my story isn't so unusual....

Yes, sports and athletics have always played a huge part of my life, but sometimes to a fault.

I grew up in a family with a father whose was verbally abusive, so I learned at a young age to internalize my feelings. I always used sports as a way to escape, a way not to have to be at home. I guess as I grew older those things just magnified themselves.

I can honestly say that it was rare that I ever had a drink just because I liked the taste of it. The tipping point for me was the breakup of my first marriage ten years ago. For some reason, I decided to pour some vodka into a diet coke (always been a beer drinker) and BLAM!!! I had found the magical elixar that I needed to make all the pain go away.

I was too stubborn to admit that I was hurting inside, and too proud to admit that I had turned to drinking as an outlet. What a vicious circle...... I honestly think that I used being an athlete as an excuse IN MY BRAIN to justify my not being an alcoholic. If I can go out and compete in races, win cycling events, etc. there is NO WAY that I can have a problem with alcohol.

So, that's why being honest with not only those around me but myself as well was so important. I had lied, internalized and justified for so long that until I underwent a psychic change there was no way that I could stop the destructive path that I was on.

I f I could have a tiny bit of their dedication I might have got a better result than a poxi 46%.!! Pisssed off with myself , course costs me a f*****g fortune ,just for me to scrape a pass, dont know why I bother .I was a thick in school and im a thick now so im off to compete in a little game of my own.....HOW PISSED CAN i GET TONIGHT! Sorry ,feeling sorry for myself.

I Like the Olympics, and my husband almost went there as a youngster so he is understandably interested in them too, especially running. I wish politics didn't enter into it, the time we boycotted the Olympics those poor athletes might have lost their chance for medals. If you don't like Olympics, fine, but do appreciate the hard work and dedication these people have all over the world. I admire their passion!

Thanks Cap, your great! Im just dissapointed with myself. We are in alot of credit card debt and the 220 euro a month to do the degree is a strain but I will have to put a little more into it. I really want to work with troubled teens, families who need serious help ,that sort of thing .I know I would be good at it. Im not competitive at all and the business world would and does not suit me at all, I coulnt sell anything to anyone that doesnt want or need it. I know I have alot to offer a charity based organisation and I need a half decent degree to get into it. I will just have to work harder ,I find the assignments easy enough and get good grades in them ,all in and around 70% but the exams....I hate studying ,Id rather watch the olympics! Thanks for been interested , I want to have got a grip on myself before the big man gets home! Hes very good ,left school at 15 ,doesnt have any interest in 3rd level, thinks academics are all ponses but lets me get on with whatever I want quietly! He NEVER complains about the fact it will cost us 10,000 euro for me to qualify!
