    Army Thread 23nd Sept 2010

    Good morning troops,

    Bit early but the sleep fairy has totally flown the coup for me..
    who's she sleeping with now the little harlet..??

    I wasn't gonna start counting again after my"slip" or whatever it's to be called, I was soo angry, dissapointed, ashamed, miserable, even felt dirty, it was like losing my virginity after taking such great care and pride of my celibacy...

    I have now forgiven myself, even feel so much stronger and confident I won't drink again, I have upped my bac dosaged, I find that since taking more in the morning I have reached that magical "off button"
    Before I was doing it in reverse, less in the morn and more as the day wore on.
    It was only one glass of brandy and was very extreem circumstances, although there is no excuse, but I understand why I had it, and know now what I will do if I am ever in a situation like that again..
    Reachout for help... !
    and don't keep my mouth shut and try to cope alone, I was in severe pain and the demon enticed me that nothing else mattered anymore, I just wanted the pain to stop..
    It didn't..and I damged something so precious to me, my sobriety...
    But that was 2 months ago today..I'm not sure wether to go back to counting or not as at the moment my thinking is not to put a big thing about not drinking AL, so as to make attention to it in my nut..
    rather I just don't think about it at all as if it doesn't exist..I happily order coke, fizzy water, make smoothies, basically ignore it completly..
    maybe right, maybe wrong, but it's working just now and I feel calm and confident about not having it in my life...
    just gotta keep it that way...

    sorry it's a long intro..but there's shite on tv....:H:H:H

          We have another of our "famous" strikes going on today in France. Schools, public transportation etc. Not too happy because I depend on the train to get to work! There will be some trains but I'll have to leave 2 hours earlier to make sure I get to work on time. And the trains will be full to bursting:upset:.

            Morning guys, Jan great stuff, you didnt dwell on it or allow yourself a second and subsequent drink. Here you are two months later stronger than ever. Well done hon.
            Chilli have a safe trip and do try and check in at some stage.
            Expat, I think we should have a little less of a laid back attitude in Ire at times. For instance the bankers who nearly bankrupt the country and in some cases, a certain person in Allied Ir Bank who clearly was fraudulent in his dealings, yet he will never serve a moment behind bars unlike any other common thief.
            Ramble over, I best get a shift on.
            Ethanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?

              Good morning guys
              Jan, your attitude is absolutely top notch. You made a mistake, dealt with it AND learned from it. That is priceless. Good on ya gal!

              Safe travels Chilli, I would love to have met up with you but at the moment, my life isnt my own Im afraid...

              Yesterday was the worst day i have ever had with mum, coughing up blood, choking and being desperatately ill. The doc came and says she has a chest infection and put her on antibiotics. She was calmer in the evening.
              The doc was a complete wanker no bedside manner, didnt even know that she had terminal cancer and then I explained to him he was even more of a tosser. He said "Oh its your birthday soon isnt it? Most people dont make it to your age. Haha" WTF was the guy on? I am tempted to complain but not until all this is over. I dont want to rock the boat for mum in any way at the mo.
              Thank God, her own doctor is absolutely wonderful as are the nurses. This tosser was just cos it was an emergency......
              Sorry to vent. Sometimes I feel I shouldnt cos u all have so many troubles of your own, and I hate to start the morning off on a bad note.
              The district nurse is coming today and I am hoping she will be more comfy.....
              This is an absolute nightmare
              Sorry guys

                  Thanks Tiggeroo.
                  I know that deep down, but you know what its like, you dont want to bring people down?
                  But I know that you are all here to hold my hand through all this..
                  Its her birthday on Monday, she was going to come here and we were going to do a family lunch but she is too weak to do that now. I am wondering if by Monday she will be too weak to even have a meal round at hers......
                  Oh I dont expect her to cook it

                    Good morning everyone.

                    KTAB best of luck with the job today.

                    Jan - how did the test go yesterday? Read back over the posts but didn't see any mention of it.

                    Starts - I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that doctor. Yes, you should report him when the time is right. I have not had the best experience with doctors and did report one some years ago. He told my son to go home and put ice on a badly sprained ankle and that it would be okay in a few days. He was in excruciating pain the next day and ended up in surgery with general anesthetic to put the bone back in place and then spent 6 weeks in a cast and a month of physiotherapy after. The doctor hadn't even bother to look at the x-ray. Just sent him home!!. I can never understand apathy or disinterest in a doctor. Supposedly they became doctors to help people. When they do less than that, they need to be reminded of why they're in the profession they're in. Report him. Your Mom and anyone else going through what she is at this time deserves understanding, compassion and care to help her deal with this and be as comfortable as possible. Anything less is unacceptable. Sorry to rant but it gets me when people are off hand in such a situation. Lucky that her own doctor and nurses are good. Hope they can make her more comfortable. That should be the main focus right now. Wishing you strength to deal with all of this.
                    For every 60 seconds that you are angry, you lose a minute of happiness.

                      Thanks SG, Yes I will report him
                      I saw him once when I was very depressed and sobbing in his office. He asked me two questions. Can you do your housework? Are you still going to work? Well you are not depressed then....
                      This was over two years ago just before I started looking for help with my drinking.....
                      The bloke is a total b*stard.

                        OMG. I can't believe that!! You were depressed and crying and that was his reaction? The guy needs to have his fecking license taken away!! Seriously. A doctor who is so totally uncaring should have nothing to do with patients at all. The only contact he should have with the medical world would be to work in a lab where he would feel at home amongst cold glass petrie dishes and other lifeless objects. I HATE people like that.

                        Have to go walk my dog. Will catch up with you later. Hope your day turns out to be at least somewhat pleasant altho' I know the chances of that are slim. Really sorry you have to go through this. I'd be a wreck.
