What made you feel that way Mollers?

I was (am) more the sort that feels like I just don't fit in anywhere too. But it's getting better. I really have to work at meeting new people. Going to walk pug dog but I'll be back. This subject is very interesting and probably why a lot of us fell into the bottle.

Always loved Christmas but finding it hard to get enthused this year, seems of little importance in the bigger scale of things I suppose. Maybe the fact that my son has moved out and I have so little money is making a difference unbeknown to me

Yep thats me too. I was never a good mixer and I lack social skills. Suppose I always felt I wasn't quite as good as everyone else. Hidding in a bottle seemed to be a great solution because I couldn't care less then.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that piglet makes it to his next destination. I don't understand exactly WHAT happened (find it hard to believe the terrorist story-but whatever) But the reason I wanted to restart the MWO world tour was because Tigger's Journey really helped me in my recovery. I've always enjoyed travelling and seeing all the incredible places of our fellow MWOers beating the alcohol beast and showing us all the incredible and beautiful things out there AF!....it's just so inspiring. Plus it makes us get out there and see our town in a new light.I think we all have something to share whether we live in a small town, the country, big city...whatever.

Just jimming in Expatty and adding that I was so grateful for my Piglet visit. Helped me turn a corner this year. Well really this last few months. And I still see things now that make me think I wish I could show them with Piglet in them...

Hiya Reggie.

Molly, blabbermouth on a keyboard can still at times turn into a figgiting, staring at his shoes, mumbling fool on occasion when out of his comfort zone in a group, especially with people I don't know. But I am better than I used to be.

I used to LOVE travelling patty, until the anxiety took over in a big way in my twenties. I agree with you, it's very inspiring to see the places tigger and piglet have been to and it makes me want to get out there too!

I remember saying almost exactly the same thing to my alcohol worker starty. I said to him that "I don't fit into society". I totally recognise what you mean.

Best of luck there, tabbers. A job would be a brilliant Christmas present, wouldn't it?

mollyka;1220199 wrote: It is hard to embrace christmas when money is a challenge, everything IS very commercialised - and that isn't just a cliche. But the simple things now can make me happy -- watching my holly in the garden and hoping the sweet little birdies (little bastards) don't eat all the berries before christmas. We have scaled back soooo much this year money wise, but it's like it puts more fun into it --- more of a challenge I reckon.

I really dislike the commercialisation of Christmas, molly. I fully appreciate that times are hard for a lot of us, but I don't think it's necessary to spend a lot of money to have a good time over the festive period. As they say, some of the best things in life are free.
