Not forgetting how serious it is - that's winning.
Thanks for the kind words sweet pea. Luckily my wife has decided not to drink as well. She is not a very big girl either only 5ft 4 1/2 (always stresses the 1/2)...she used to drink about a bottle of wine a night, but she's French and they seem to be able to handle it. Her brother is the same.
Starting out in our life together was a big change for me for all the reasons I have posted above. There were other things too, like the indiginities I was forced endure.
One day she asked me to go to the shop and buy some soap. 'Huh? Oh OK. 'And some toilet paper.'
'What!...you want me to be seen in public buying Arsepaper? I won't do it! Blokes don't do that sort of thing where I come from.' Fortunately we came to an agreement on that one, and it remains on my list of things I won't do.
I'd enjoy having a yarn to you sweet pea. Couldn't really have a drink though could we? Maybe a light beer might work. I'd also like to meet your dog. My poor old bloke passed over a few years ago...he was 19 1/2, I thought he'd make 20. He was a tough little bloke, half Staffy and half Corgi, and he could fight. I used to walk him twice a day which was good for both of us.
Sorry to hear that your brother has a weight problem. It's easy to get into the habit of overeating. When I stopped doing physical work I started to get a bit flabby and weighed 210lbs (96kg) tried the Gym, exercise, walking and cycling, all to no avail, but I was fit. What worked in the end was cutting down my food intake. I stopped eating anything with sugar in it (that I could recognise) and cut sugar out of my tea and coffee. It took a year or two but now I'm whippet-thin at 166lbs (76kg) never been that light since I was a schoolkid. Feel great but not as strong as I was.
BTW, I'm on day six now and it's been easy. I have to say that being here has helped a lot, especially reading the experiences of others...scared me at times.
Anyhow, I'm sure you'll be fine. Sweet Pea is a lovely name.
