Your as good as you want it to be Inchains,If i remember correctly you did 3 months AF a while back so you can do it if you really want.

And by getting slaughtered drunk is not going to change that,It will only put you in a more depressive mood.

I can honestly say that major events just as bad has effected me since I stopped drinking,and honestly can say that even though the thought entered my head, when thought fully through I knew it would not be worth it and drinking would be feck all good to me in my life.

See you then Inchains but you will get through this :l life does and will go on.

and on that I do agree, now I would not break my 11 months for the world, but I had some pretty shit stuff to deal with in the first 3 months which nearly sent me spiralling but I did not want to drink because I am a hard core strong minded cow... anyway I hope things become clearer for you in time and that you come back and post soon
Much love

Hello army,

well done on getting the student problem sorted out, Mr T. Must be a huge relief.

Inchy....it's a tough time for you, obviously. Please try and check in every once in a little while so we know you're still alive.

Not been up long, cos my medication is making me sleep loads. Apparently it's 12C outside, so I really should go out and do some pruning before it gets dark...

Inchy What Mario said makes loads of sense. However, it seems to be a devastating situation but better you found out now.

Recluse what medication knocks you out like that?

Just been out for a little walk and it is 19 degrees!

Troopers, sorry to barge in like this without reading back over today's posts but I've got news that I just have to share. Mr. Stirly saw his surgeon today about the results of the biopsy from the cancer surgery. The cancer has not metastasized and he doesn't need any kind of therapy like chemo or radiation therapy. He only needs to have regular blood test done and a colonoscopy done on a regular basis as well. We are so delighted. He was sure that the cancer would have metastasized since we didn't know how long he'd had it and was very much afraid of what therapy he would have to go through. To say we are relieved would be putting it mildly. And I know that your thoughts and prayers helped us get through this and helped this wee miracle happen. Again thanks to all of you for thinking of us and sending positive thoughts and strength our way. :h to each and every one of you.

Thanks, everyone. I really can't believe that Mr. Stirly doestn't need some kind of therapy. I've never heard of someone having cancer surgery and not needing therapy afterwards. I'm totally blown away and so very, very grateful.

I'm about to give in and head back to bed as moving around makes it worse.

Zennie - hope you can get some sleep and that you'll feel better when you get up.:l

You and your fiance were together a long time and from such a young age. Of course you feel like your world has just been pulled out from under your feet. It will take you time to accept this and adjust to being on your own. If I was going through something like that, I can't say that I wouldn't drink, but I can't say that I would. Honestly? At your age, I would have gone for the bottle, too. But being much older than you and having the hindsight that you may not yet have, I know that hanging out with AL isn't going to make any of the things that are so upsetting and difficult in your life right now any less upsetting and easier to deal with. It will, however, as we all know, make things worse since AL is a depressant and will pull you down even more psychologically. It may numb your pain for a few hours but when you wake up the next day, it will still be there and you'll have a hangover to deal with on top of the other shite.

Inchy - it's true what you say about not having the sober time you need to lay a foundation for getting sober. It would be extremely difficult for anyone to go cold turkey under the circumstances. So please, try to drink as little as possible and try and get some rest. We're all here for you whenever you feel the need to talk, no matter what state you're in. Please check in and let us know that you are okay. Most of us have kids your age and older. We all care about you. Please don't stay away from MWO. Sending :huggy's your way.
