Reginald... I think we all need to look at the big piccie here.....how much LESS have you drunk since you got here, than if you had continued along the old tragectory ?????

I don't mean to trivialise anything at all. And I don't know about you, but in the bad old days here in Jonesville, one bottle of wine was a very quiet night indeed...

Straight back up on the horse lovey.

Bridge,

I'm with you on this one. Was there such a thing as one bottle of wine?

I don't think I've mentioned my drinking patterns on this thread before, although I have on other threads.

Prior to 26th Jan, I was drinking 1 - 2 bottles of white a night. I reckon about 11 bottles per week. (That's a hell of a lot of units.) Then cut down to 2 bottles per week until about a month ago, when I started Topamax. My aim is to moderate, so I still have a wine if we go out BUT never a bottle in one evening and never more than twice a week.

The idea is not to crave in between those nights but if that's not going to happen I'll have to quit completely.

Yeah Reggie, Bridge is right.
One bottle of godd Aussie red was never enough for me, then there was Mr Coopers bright red sparkling ale. Save myself about $150 a week now.... which is how we are going to Africa later this year.

Hey everyone,
Rags - you're in Sydney too? I dont have a car anymore, but I got a fine for parking in the wrong direction once - I never knew that to be a rule! i drove all the way home without noticing the parking ticket in my windscreen wiper! :H
Been busy packing - only one week til I move house!

Wonder if I could take it to court onna grounds of Tigger ???But I've already gone to the post office and paid it. In another era that would've seriously cut into my drink money.

Rags, I would delete the pics if I was you. You are identifying yourself by your rego. Guests log in here too, so it's not just the people you trust you are showing this to.

In other news, haven't been around because of a mysterious computer glitch. It's touch and go whether I have visual when I turn the thing on. I have no idea how to fix it either. I have exhausted all known remedies.

I must say, it's starting to get cold. I had to wear a long sleeve shirt last night and it's feeling a bit that way today as well. Bugger!

Going to read back now to catch up.

No but there are some people here for genuine help and some people here to seek attention. Even after a relatively short time here, I can see patterns and I can see certain people posting more outrageous things each time. Possibly so they can get a "there, there, we love you" pat on the head.

Spam you need to remember that we are all alcoholics on this site and at one stage or another, we all needed that pat on the head, whether you think it's deserved or not. Your original comment certainly grated on me. This comment isn't much better IMHO. I know you have anger issues, so maybe use those issues elsewhere. I don't mean to be offensive to you, but you can seriously hurt people by posting insensitive remarks.

Reggie, mate, losing the plot is something I can really relate to. Why? I don't know, but I do know the more AF time you can get in one session makes it easier each time you do lose the plot to come back to being AF. I've done a few sessions, but 80 days the first long stretch and then 104 days the next long stretch. The last time I told myself it would be forever, but it wasn't unfortunately. However, I know now how good it is being AF and each time I drink reminds me how bad it really is. I'm still trying to get back to AF after my last loss of the plot. It takes me ages to make the decision, even tho I really want to. It's stupid. I guess if we understood it, we wouldn't drink. I've made an appointment with a psychologist to try and work it out.

It's like some folk can't eat dairy, or peanut's for the rest of their natural......so, with booze, we've just got to adjust, then soon enough, one day, if we hang in there and give the old, diehard habit's time to change/dissapear, with some pro-active prodding, away we go, back into life. I know it's difficult, but you have done it, and the worst drunk can do it. Keep at it, your achievement's have been huge, and don't forget this. This will make you stronger, wiser, and more cunning. You may have just tipped the balance in your favour.

Wise words as always, from you Sir G.

Hi Rags.. cool, Illawarra is close by.. I am moving just 4 streets up the road! (the owners want to move back into my current place) I am in the North of Sydney.. I wish this move would be my last.. but there is so much going on with my life, and nothing is written in concrete as to what is going to happen, so I doubt unfortunately that this will be my last move!
