But wish me luck - the boredom threshold will be low and the pressure will be high !:upset:

Back in the day did you used to enjoy it when it was huge drink fest or was it just another chore.

I know we always had a big hoorah with me brother once a year and I came to dread it. I was still drinking but absolutely hated the aftermath.

Speaking of putting a kybosh on crimbo... well no, not a kybosh... but told my folks this morning i didn't want to be drinking over christmas. That i wanted to stop for a while. They knew about the 7 weeks AF...

Mum says to me she'd said to dad that she thought I drank too much. Says she's proud of what I'm doing. SO, that was fairly straight forward.

I THINK - mentioned this over on Stella Chook - my dad just wanted to ignore it. Perhaps he knew, perhaps he didn;t think it was THAT bad, perhaps he liked the joviality, the joie de vivre that came with drink - - and me especially. Perhaps he just didn't want to face it. That sounds harsh... but as I said to me mum, not facing it, ignoring, pushing it under the carpet because "it's not so bad" is only fodder to that part of my brain that says "it's OK to drink... carry on regardless..." But...

We would all have had to face up to it if I ever got caught for drinking over the drink drive limit. Or worse. Took that chance far too often.

Oh... and the job I applied for? Not even an interview. Barstards :H

As you were troops...
