Marnin,

I hear it about the whole family thing, my brother and is psycho hose beast girlfriend have caused untold trouble within the family and now talk to none of us, don't see my kids and are not going to my other brothers wedding in June, my 2 brothers were inseparable until Miss Piggy and her fucking cankles came on the scene. They both now hole up in their house and neither have any friends and neither talk to anyone in their family, so they only have each other. I hate her for how she changed my brother from a funny, outgoing, lovely bloke into a spineless shell of a person. Anyway, nowt I can do about it...could be worse, the fuckers could be living with me.......

Afternoon!

Sorry to hear about your daughter's father in law, whizzy.

Hope your sister in law is doing well, foxy.

And well done on your knitting successes, molly.....I know what you mean about not being able to stick at anything.

Thanks for introducing me to a new word (cankles), oney. I learn so much by coming here!

I'm really struggling with the drink at the mo. I went for my usual walk up the lane in the early hours of this morning and had a good old think and came to a new understanding of my relationship with alcohol that I hope will help me to turn my back on it, but today I am still filled with cravings.

My walk up the lane was very strange. There were lots of people and cars going up and down what is normally a very quiet single-track country lane and this was around 2:30am. At first I thought I must have got confused about the time and then later on I wondered if I was hallucinating because it was so strange to see so many people at that hour. I still don't know what was going on!

And in other news, I've lost a couple more pounds and hit my target weight of 9 stone 7 lbs so now I can allow myself to indulge every once in a little while! It took me about 5 months to achieve that!

Edit: Hello molly!

Yep, I am still seeing my alcohol worker, molly, but it's changed a bit. I now see him privately on Monday evenings cos the organisation he worked for lost the drug and alcohol contract due to local government cutbacks. The expense is one I can ill afford, but the flip side of the coin is that we can now have a broader more wide-ranging conversation instead of being restricted to just talking about alcohol.

How's your weekend been? Is it a bank holiday over there?

Yeah - Bank Holiday here alright PTL!! Finding life awful busy - not awful in an awful way you understand so tomorrow is allocated to pure chilling - nought - nada!! What about yourself? Is your sleep normalising at all?

Yes mollers, I agree. The bloke I see reckons the alcohol is a symptom of the problem rather than the problem itself.

Glad you've got the day off tomorrow. I'm sure it's a well-earned rest. I need to learn to value and use all the free time I get more than I do instead of wasting it with drink. My sleep is actually normalising a bit in that I usually manage to get to sleep before daylight.

What's happening with your husband's shop these days? I seem to remember that at one point last year you didn't think it would survive much beyond (last) Christmas?

Bacinabit....I have to hop in the bath

Evening all well the sun didn't last too long here its dull again and cool. Went to se my sis in law in Vincents in the afternoon. She's bit down as she's been in and out of hospital for over 3 months and missing here own home and going out etc Poor girl fel so sorry for her as she may be in a few weeks longer. She has good and bad days i guess we all would if we had cancer and were in hospital for weeks with various treatments being. I have heard in AA and from other people that giving al is only half the battle. Why do we pick up the drink in th first place and how to fill the void. Its tough i felt like a drink last night but it passed i knew what would happen if i went out and bought wine. As Molly said it gets harder every time you slip. Need to get out for a walk but feeling a bit tired see how i feel later. Really need more exercise. Well done on your weight loss reccie. I wear nearly 9 st but should be closer to 8 and i'm only 5ft and look chubby being short:blush:
