No I won't do your housework for you, but I will create a lot of it.
I'll stay so long, that we'll have to end up having one of those uncomfortable little convos about when I'm moving on.
Then when you finally get rid of me, we'll never speak again, just in case I put it on you to come again.
Right-O ?

Saph, yep, i'm in a bit of a similar line of work to you. Community mental health outreach. I work with about 6 folk's of all ages/backgrounds and issues, but many more folk on the periphery. Very interesting, challenging, lifechanging, and keeps me on me feckin toes. Some of the folk's i see have drug and al issues, which is where i get particularly passionate. It's a voluntary service, and goal's based, so we alway's have something to shoot for. The work is out where the people are, in their homes, and out and about.

Noight.

yeah G. I get ya. It seems that folks like you and I are on the front line for a reason.And the reason is empathy. It is life experience that brings us closer to understanding the dilemma and pain of people that we are dealing with. I for one feel an enormous amount of priviledge when asked to assist with the life crisises of fellow human beings. I feel privilidged to have been able to asisst in a seemingly small way to this persons life and happiness. This is my reward for being human

Sapph - there are a lot of good quotes about drinking in the first pages of the quote thread that Chill started. Maybe some of them could help you if you read through them. One of mine is that it is easier to get through the "witching hour" than it is to get through a day with a hangover. Another is that there is no going back in life - you can only go nowhere or forward.
Taking that first drink after so much AF time will solve absolutely nothing. It may drown your emotions and the way you're feeling about what happened at work for tonight, but tomorrow they will still be there. And you will feel like shite and feel that you have taken a step - or a leap - backwards. Just think about all your AF time and try to do something to get your mind off having a drink. Concentrate on the positive things of being AF. Do something, anything to keep yourself occupied - both mind and body, if possible. Deep down you know you can get through this. Maybe you need to talk to a fellow worker about what happened at work - maybe it would help you to find out what it is about those things that are bothering you, that are making you feel unsettled. Whatever it takes, just stay away from that fecking bottle...
Sending you strength.
Stirly :huggy

Saph thats the dumbest reason i ever heard! How will drinking help you deal with things at work? Seriously, you know it will only make them 10 times worth and you will feel like shite for giving in. DONT DO IT!! All it causes is more misery, there is nothing in the world that is improved by alcohol.

Stirly thank you for this reminder, this is a great quote and we could do with quoting it a bit more round here.

Saph if nothing else use this motto for today :l

Hey - what happened to the above plan - the part about the Maeve Binchy book under the tree. Go for that and forget AL. Make yourself a nice glass of iced tea or a smoothie or something and chill out with Lucy and the book. Maeve is one of my favourite authors. I've read several of her books. Which one have you got?
