Good morning Army, well its 3.47am so I suppose technically its still night. Been awake for nearly an hour now after about only three hours sleep. Money worries and waiting for the next phone call in the morning from the bank looking for money I cant possibly pay has me wide awake and the brain spinning. On the plus side the thought of taking a drink this weekend or anytime soon couldnt be further from my mind. That is usually the way it starts in recent times. The stress and worry and the realisation that the temporary escape is there, and so it builds, the feeling that the first drink will be taken soon.
Anyhow think I will make a cup of tea and have a read around the boards, maybe pop into chat, havent been there in a while. Sorry to be such a miserable old sod but it helps to write it down.

Hi Zenny, na I wont bother now, might take the dogs to the beach in the next hour. I can grab a nap this afternoon if I need one. Yeh my brain just goes into over drive and I know I may as well get up. Not sure what I am going to do about this. Oh but I am fine thanks.

I will ring them first thing in the morning before they ring me but not sure it will make any difference, they still want their pound of flesh. Hard to give them what I dont have though.

Good morning Army, Not quite 7am here but I have a busy day ahead-so I need to get moving. KTAB_so sorry to hear about your sleepless night. I have had those too and it's true that it can be impossible to just stay in bed staring at the ceiling (with all the thoughts spinning in our heads). Better to get up for a bit and have a cup of tea or warm milk and honey. Writing stuff out helps too. I've found myself crying at the kitchen table at 4am-it can be a very scary and lonely feeling. Sometimes prayers help-or meditation. There is a good book by Dr. Claire Weeks (Australian, I think) called Self Help for your Nerves. It is a bit old fashioned but I find it very comforting-and calming. My GP in Dublin reccomended it when I had a nervous breakdown a few years ago. Warm wishes to all the army today. Lets all stay close this weekend. These are tuff times, lads.
