state of the world

Em.

So glad you brought up the 800 lb gorilla in the room. We are living in times so appalling as to be overwhelming to any decently sensitive human being, yet we are supposed to ignore what is going on and just live as if it is all hunky dory.

Where is the outrage???? I am outraged every day over Iraq and just about everything that is going on right now. I could take up reams, but don't get me started! The death of innocents. the foolish, idiotic sacrifice of our wonderful young people. Oh, god.

This is REAL. Yet we are supposed to live as though it isn't.

Yeah, I am with you. I am a professional but I don't think one has to be to be struggling with this. I do hope that there are all kinds of people out there who finally see what has been done to the human race!!!!

All the best and thanks.

Ivy

I think that one of the things that gets to me about my drinking is that without it I would be a much nicer person, I'd have more time for my kids and others including myself.
Just think what the world could be like if we didn't spend our time and money blocking it out with booze or other drugs!
Just a thought

Hi

I'm strating today. 1st Oct - if you still need a partner I could do with one.

I'm 38 year old, IT and Project Management Specialist from UK with hubby and 2 kids and a drink problem.

After three bottles of wine last night:upset: I am determined to give this up.

luv

Hi,
good luck!!! So good for you to have set a date. Personally I am nowhere near that point, but I wish you all the best! And hope you can find a buddy to go through this with you.
Kindest Regards, C

Hey Cheeks, Overit, Bak...check out the monthly abstinence board and you'll find a whole slew of partners... Everyone on there is attempting abs! Some folks have a few days, some have weeks, others are into the months and one of us just celebrated an entire year of abs! We'd love to see you there so check it out!

Well done!

Hi Beth, I know you from chat...this is a great post, great to hear a little bit about your story. So many women are hiding our drinking behaviour, we are lucky this is a safe place to come. I'm struggling all the time, but i feel a turning point has come since I found this site and made friends here. Are you doing Abs? How's it going for you? Ann
