I've never had black pudding...

I took the easy way out and ordered pizzas, seeing that Mrs. T is at book club tonight.

And what's even worse is that early indications show it's working.

All part of "austerity", I assume?

Pause for thought here. Thought "only a couple more pages since I went to sleep" but lots of stuff...

Mollers... I hear you on the sleep and also on a few other things. I agree... it's not just about the boozing, there are compounding factors for some of us. Not all, mind, I think for some the AL is the culprit and the main issue... but for some (thou, moi and the bear for example) we have/had/whatever other things in the mix. So it's not quite as simple as quitting drinking... that is only a part of it. What you did... going to the facility... that was the best thing that ever happened to you in my opinion... and being afforded the time and the expertise at hand to work on yourself is what turned things around for you. IMHO of course... xxx

In all honesty, I think all of us have other issues apart from AL abuse. Nothing is ever that fucking simple is it? And... looking round the folk on the thread... all the ones I know well on here will probably agree... there's more to it that that.

It's actually all very complicated. Most doctors will tell you that the medical profession hasn't the foggiest about brains! Really... (

Anyhoo....... off to read back more and lighten the feck up! ) Oh... my phone is fully functional. Someone text me! I have photos for everyone on it... Facebook pulled them in... rather fancy and can't wait to see a face put to text now... lol I'm a child. I know.

I know I can do this but staying stopped beyond about the 3 month mark has proven elusive on several occasions. Its like I am tired of trying or more likely just too lazy. AL robs me of my zest for life and of my energy but then thats always been a vicious circle. Plan on taking the dogs out now then if I can I will go for a swim. Too early to have hear about the job, I hope, as closing date for applications is friday.
I absolutely agree with that. It's the knowledge that your mental health is only limping along while you;re drinking that does my noggin in. It's not about the dysfunctional liver etc... it's walking around half dead... Big hugs bro... :l

*****wavings**** to Mick. Luvverly to see you here. Don't be a sttanger.

Sad news from work. The 3 full time IBA workers have been let go. Luckily ones got her old job to go back but the other 2 are now on the dole.

Government pours squillions of pounds into a new initiative and then shits all over it.

What the heck sense does that make then? What a crock. I hate HATE HATE politics or anything to do with government... I'm beyond repair... I have become a griper. That sucks JC. You're all right though?

LOL...

Yes, I suppose that would be me. Drowning the sad. I started thinking about it when I realize I'm not physically dependent... you know... no W/Ds. I realized I'm emotionally dependent. Neither is any better than the other... you're feckin screwed either way... but it's interesting to ponder upon on occasion!!! :H :new:

Ah............ there you are.

I must look quite a bit older by now, and she's grown a lot. I've never changed my profile picture since joining FB a little over three years ago.
