    I've got the Devil in me today.

    I also find that if you can do something for someone else, no matter how small it works wonders. Last year when I was wallowing in self pity, and I mean wallowing! I noticed an ad in the paper looking for volunteers to help with a project, I signed up and immediately all my self pity disappeared..
    That's good advice Chill, I have in fact been volunteering for three years with a young person with severe learning difficulties, it's not so much volunteering now as spending time with a friend. We are meeting on Saturday.

    All of your posts really took me out of a bad place this morning so thanks. I drive a digger for work (not for much longer) so I am usually posting from my mobile. This in itself, rather perversely compounds my frustration.

      yup, getting what you need shouldn't be such hard work, right?! haha!

      ugh, but don't get involved at this point as you mentioned you need time reinvent yourself.
      the most true love does develop over time, but we still have to make it through those empty times with a little bit of spice, n'est pas?

      Good luck in your adventures!!
      Forgive me if it sounded trite. I value what you have said regarding intimacy and relationships. I have never met so many like minded thinkers. I guess I can be in no doubts about my alcoholism

      I think a positive attempt at celibacy for a while is in order, at least until I can manage my emotional state well enough to sleep with someone. Drink has often been a crutch (no pun intended) in that department.

        BTW 1967,

        Clearly your ex did not deserve you. From what you've said that much is obvious to anyone!

            LOL Johnny, and you will. (get laid)

            Sobriety is the key, and you are on that road. Stay on it for all you are worth, and that is a lot, in fact, you are priceless. It will get easier as it becomes your lifestyle, and your being adapts, then, magic, magic, magic as the universe unfold's before you!

            Before i babble on again, i just wanted to highlight some of the advantages of being a single person sober, which is my current situation. (still single, sure, :H, but lot's of women showing interest) Hair is shiny, skin is much clearer, and the redness and pufiness has gone, my abs are showing now, cause i'm no longer bloated and i exercise regularly, i walk tall and proud with confidence, and my posture is upright and relaxed, i have a 'vital' look about myself, which still surprises me if i catch a glance at myself in a mirror out and about somewhere, my demeanour is relaxed, positive, and 'can do' with a quiet energy bubbling underneath. I get a lot more looks from women now than i ever used to, and it's great.

            So go for it bro'!

                  Bring it on! You struck a chord earlier when you talked about selling yourself short. I ain't having that no more. I'm gonna be dead too long. Leaving others behind is hard tough, and I know that will happen. I want to take them with me, especially my little bro! but it's not their path, you know?

                    Yep, some of our loved one's must travel their own path, and we must do what we've gotta do, but we can still be around for them, albeit a bit further away. we must be ruthless with our sobriety, which sometimes means not hanging around with certain friends for awhile till we're stronger. That's what i had to do.....hibernate socially to a huge degree till i was strong enough to socialise without the grog. Now, i can go out with my drinking mates and enjoy their company (till they start slurring, then i leave. alway's have an early exit plan!).

                      Good advice bro. I'm on it. Off to noddy land now, night night. Enjoy your day everyone getting up, sleep well every one turning in, and thank you all again. This ships sailing for good times!
