Mick...don't know what version of windows you're using, but try this. Open up a command prompt window - the exact steps depend on the version of windows - something like Start>Run and type CMD and then hit the Enter key. A black window will appear with a flashing cursor. Then type IPCONFIG/FLUSHDNS (no spaces) and hit the Enter key again. Then see if you can access MWO.

Was just thinkin about you achully when I wrote that I'm looking forward to Sat. night - sorta surprised myself tbh. I think what it is is that my expectations are different now. At the beginning when I started getting sober a few years back, I used to go to stuff like that and want to enjoy it in the same way and to the same extent as I did - just not drinking. It's just 'different' now - my expectations are different - I'm more comfortable in my own skin, I don't feel I have to 'amuse' everyone. I was always the one with the clever retorts, the 'funniest' stories - making people laugh --- and I'm truly not talking about bein the drunken clown --- Just that I was very outgoing with a few jars on me.
Now I'm happy to sit and listen, and let others take the lead. Even at home it's like that now. Joe used to be the one who 'sat back' while I took centre stage - now he contributes more and I'm comfortable - even with quiet or silent moments - I don't have to fill every second with 'noise' ---- does that make any sense I wonder??

Ah Mollers that is truly lovely :l
You don't miss being the soul of the party ? Maybe you were just covering up timidness with the ol jar. I often think that was me too - now I can relax !!

Self praise no praise but I don't care

BTW
Had a family 'do' in a pub last night. Drinks & a meal - 15 of us.
I did the arranging so :
Made it 5 pm start so we were done & dusted by 10. I enjoyed it thoroughly. As you said Molls - once there is food I can cope.
Drove home the drunken Mr S and was up for Jim John at sparra fart this morning.
I am very proud of myself folks !

Aye Molls it makes sense. I think though I'm still trying to get to grips with who I am sober - like sober all the time, which i think is different from being sober during the day anticipating a drink, sorry DRINKS, in the evening.

It partly depends on who I am with. Some folks I feel more inhibited by, or a voice in my heid starts comparing me with them (I do this a lot and it is something I really need to work hard at stopping), and some folks I feel very comfortable to be with and so find it easier to relax and amuse or jest with them.

It's slow progress with me... i'm just learning.... wondering who the sober me is going to turn out to be...
