Hi di hi campers.
Think I may have a touch of man flu or similar.
Got relatives over from Mexico come to say goodbye to my mum. Its very sad, I am going over there tomorrow, its my birthday and I know its going to be the last one with my mum.
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with sadness and wonder how I am going to cope.

Hey Starts!
Colds and flu always strike when your at a low eb dont they, take extra good care of yourself and up your doses of supplements.

I dont know what to say about your Mum, its just too sad :l
All you can do on your birthday tomorrow is savour every moment with her. I guess the only consolation is that you DO know how special it is when so often we loose people suddenly not knowing it was our last one together.

So your a fellow Virgo! Are you a complete neat freak like me?

Looks nice and sunny here today but you would probably get a nipplerectomy if you went outside.

My brother-in-law would always say of cold weather that it was "nipply out."

Hiya Coco, its Nipply here too

Do you have to do anything for him Chilli?

Starts Id love to help him, he has a serious drink problem. He has a very volitile relationship with his girlfriend and she is physically abusive to him so I can only imagine whats been going on at the weekend as he was out bingeing alone which means they have prob had a huge fight. Prob is she wont let us have anything other than minimal contact so its hard for me to get involved. He and I have other financial crap going on too which wont be helping his frame of mind.

Greenie I just want him to come home so I can make it all better :upset: but that aint ever going to happen. Its so hard to see him go through this especially now Im sober as I see much clearer his pain in wanting to block it all out....

Its not easy Starts but forgetting the "us" that will never be, Id just love him to quit drinking! Now I know how mentally draining it was and the freedom there is without it, I can see how it would completely change his life... I just want him to be happy

I know that feeling chilli, now that we have discovered a level of happiness without drinking we want EVERYONE to feel the same. It just aint gonna happen until they are ready tho.
