Good mornin arsey, foxy and all to come

First off...many congratulations to mrs a and daughter. Very pleased for you both.

And great to hear you'll be seeing jamie tomorrow molly.

Sorry you're down in the dumps questie. I agree with what the others suggested...a course of ADs and counselling. I know we're all different and have different problems, but it worked for me at least.

Didn't help much with the drinking, unfortunately. Batteredandbruised.com here. I went off on one yesterday and then got overenthusiastic in the kitchen with a chefs knife and damned near sliced my thumb off. Blood everywhere. Luckily it was a tomato sauce I was making, so the colours kind of went together. And then later on I tripped over the bin in the kitchen and banged my head on the floor! :upset: And something else must have happened as well cos I've got a big lump below my left knee and it's rather sore. No one to blame but myself so I'm not looking for or expecting any sympathy, just reporting the latest goings on in pandaland.

Oh...and I'm really sorry to hear about hamish too. Sue the bugger zenny (the breeder, not hamish :new.

Perishing cold today.

Anyway...have a good Tuesday everyone.

Morning Reccie oh dear hun be careful in the house when drinking. I know i have been there with tripping and accidents and as we live alone its more risky. I fell and hurt my back a few years while drunk alone in the house and i had to call an ambulance to get me to hospital for x-ray. Lucky no damage only bruising and soreness. It was embarrassing having to ring family to get home. I'm on to day 9 af so far tho i'm not really counting days as such just trying odat. I haven't gotten back to AA yet just busy catching up house chores and laundry but i do intend to get to meetings specially this month but any time is tough for alcos:H. Anyway take care and have a good day get plenty of rest.

Yep, we are a bit more vulnerable when we live alone, although there are some advantages too. Nine days is brilliant foxy...keep up the good work. :goodjob:

Good morning Runners, Foxyloxy, Reccybear, Pinkles, Tipperooooo, Pinguuuuu, Mollymooo and I'm sure I've missed someone.

Got the early shift this morning so off out in a moment..........I am needed and for a needy person like me being needed makes me feel well quite chuffed.

Crikey the things I've done drunk and sober has convinced me over the years I've got someone or something looking out for me. Be careful Reccy, hun. Get back to the tapering and get off the grog. You know I fret.

Good morning JC,RC,Foxy,Wreckie,Pinky,Tips,Pingu,and Molly.
Mr A recovered from his op. Off to see daughter and baby with some nice food in tow.
Reccie take care. I think I had a guardian angel looking out for me over all my drinking years. I am sure many people have not had the good fortune to stay safe.
Molly so true what you say about what goes on behind closed doors. Everyone thinks we are the ideal family.I think now we may be getting to be the family everyone always thought we were!
Hope RC and Questie are doing OK?
Thank you all for the congratulations on my lovely (enormous) grandaughter. She was nearly born in the lift going up to the delivery room and it was all over in 6 minutes. PHEW

Mebbe yesterday will focus your mind a wee bit - not wishing any of it on you of course - you know that - but sometimes we just need a 'wake-up' call?? I remember a few years ago being on the kids roller blades flying round the garden and fell backwards and literally knocked myself out on a window-sill. At the time I was delighted the kids weren't there to see me - they'd already gone inside for something, but in hindsight - I literally could have smashed my skull open - scary stuff really
Hi to everyone else. How's Arsey today? and hope Questers is feeling a bit brighter? It's a gloomy time of the year when things aren't going well. The rest of the world seems to be ho ho ho'ing all over the gaff and happy and shite, and the days are short and dark - and d'ya'know, even at the best of times that can be depressing. But I do think that looking at 'others' playing happy families can just be so difficult. Don't forget (me included in this) that NO ONE knows what goes on behind closed doors, so don't presume the rest of the world is happy and leaving us behind - it truly isn't like that:l

Morning molls That sounded like a really nasty accident that you had on the roller skates...same goes for foxy's accident. As for myself, I will just have to try and be a little more careful.

Regarding Christmas, I try not to get too over-excited about it because if you're having a bad time then the fact that it's Christmas can make things seem worse than they are. But I totally agree with you about how no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. For me, Christmas is mainly about good food cooked by my mum.

Will you be at work today?

Hello to everyone else
