Morning folks, luckily I get on well with my family, although they irritate me at times I reckon I have irritated them far more over the years.

Not great tbh Starty, days on days off but not sticking for very long. Blaming the usual money stress and the time of the year. But as we know there is always some excuse. Planning on a sober Christmas though.

The fact you could wear knickers under that tight frock at all Starty I think is amazing There was a woman at the petrol station the other day with her skirt stuck in her THONG --- oh god -- I couldn't tell her

OMG!! Poor woman! You would have thought she could feel a draught or something

I had to select said knickers carefully to avoid VPL

Now I have to be honest here, I am presently haunting the Army thread to avoid the scrubbing and the christmas card writing:upset:

I am not doing cards this year.
I didnt do them last year and tbh it was liberating.

Thank you ladies. I am fine, I really hate sounding like a broken record. I wonder how many times I have come here time and time again and said I was not keeping AF. But there is no point whatsoever in my posting if I don't tell the truth. It may appear to some that I couldn't be arsed to make the effort and some days that is the case but the vast majority of the time I wake up totally committed to the choice I made a long time ago to stop the madness.

Wouldn't imagine many blokes with a female partner write chrimbo cards Molly. It's an unwritten rule that it's not our job, bit like my out chopping logs in the cold, wouldn't dream of DW doing that.

Well said Molly. I still isolate and its the worst thing I could do
Tabbers listen to the woman
I hate giving advice cos I have been sober a while and I am afraid of coming across like a know it all or sanctimonious as someone once called me. But I do get it. Totally xx

It's really then we need here - the rest of the time it's just a bit of fun, and the fun is really important too. But really Tabs - we are alkies, and whether we are sober 4 days 4 years 40 years, we are all at risk --- and jesus we all understand. Don't isolate - please - and when I was 'in the madness' you were the first to tell me that:l:l

Yeh that's me alright dish out the advice but ignore it myself. But you are right and in the past 95% of the time when I don't post for a few days it's because I am drinking again and I withdraw further and further into my shell. I am getting better at not doing that though, hence my direct answer to 'how am I' this morning.

I think you are so wide of the mark here Starty.
It is exactly people who have decent sober time that should be offering the advice. I know when I came here I wanted to hear from the peope who have been there, worn the tshirt, thrown up down the font of it and come out the other side. I wanted to hear firstly that it is possible and secondly that they would offer advice and support to me on an ongoing basis till I got on my feet. I would imagine that every single person who joins this site feels the same.

PS Your advice has always been very welcomed personally and not sure what idiot called you santimonious but that's so daft I wouldn't give it a second thought.
