Hi All,

Isn`t it crazy what we neglect whilst drinking, I drank for 17 years and
knew I looked bad and my eyes gave me away the most, I could see yellow
in them and the worse I drank I the worse they got and I suffered with headaches
too but do you think I would go to the opticians NO I was too ashamed as what
they might see or say so put it off for all that time.
Anyway I have stopped and stayed stopped for 8 months and hey presto my eyes
are clear and I had my first test this week and guess what I need reading glasses and am waiting so will be hopefully be headache free, can you imagine in any other
circumstances other than by drinking AL that we would ever put anything so
serious off I think not, it sure has an awful hold doesn`t it
Have you put things off due to drinking ?

My chores.
Spending time with pets.
My health.
My faith.
My money.
My free time.

These are a few of the things that I neglected by drinking which I don't do anymore.

Georgie, I dabble in a lot of things, but primarily I paint. Also crochet, sew, write, play piano and mandolin, stained glass, and crafts with my grands.

Ruby, that's great! I also paint and dabble in just about everything, I wrote a children's book which I have not been able to get published yet ( tough market). I also write poetry. I would love to learn stained glass. I am going on an art retreat in Oct. For three days of classes, I can't wait.

Where is the retreat? My house and cabin are both in areas of high concentrations of artists.

Thinking about it I also neglected my hobbies, a book would take me
months to read as I would read it at night and totally forget the next day,
I watched films I couldn`t remember at all, I was only interested in AL
and getting as drunk asap which meant eating on an empty stomach and
lost 8 stone and yes I was a heffer to start with lol and I neglected my
beauty regime and now wonder why my face needs a blinking good iron !!
Ah the joys of pouring something like that in your mouth when effectively
it is like knocking your head everynight with a sledgehammer and enjoying
the fact, you couldn`t make it up could you :H
I`m sure I can think of some more !
love Flo x
