Hi Starts,

I live and work in a 'peaceful' wee city in north of Ireland. You know the one where there's never any trouble! I wish!

How's you doing?

You will feel more at ease as time goes SP. It becomes a habit just like drinking did.

I am grand thanks. Feeling lots of appreciation for various things in my life and looking forward to stuff. And for the first time in ages, feeling more in control of myself and my emotions.

Well it was / is a work in progress, I have had a blip in my sobriety with codeine, but not had a drink.
It took a few months before my confidence to go out etc started to evolve. Since quitting drink I have done so much that I would never have done before. Travel, study, got new jobs and made new friends. Oh and I also quit smoking, all tough, but all very very worthwhile.

Morning all on this SUBDAY !!! (titter)
Yes Mick still in the leaba. Not budging 'till 11am
JUst had me two boiled eggs. Mr S managed to get them soft boiled :shocked:
(on-going saga for those who think I'm a spoiled cow)
Not sure but thinking there has been a 'shift' since the issue on holidays. Mr S seems more accepting my opinions & requests - happy days - easily pleased me

Now Mr Tips - would I slag you for your spelling - would I ?
That would be beneath me - sort of SUB me:H:H

Yep still loving it satz and regret I never had the courage to stop sooner.



Can you still remember the bad days ?

Yes and I make it my business to to never forget,but not to live in the past,its one of my tools in keeping alcohol free.


Are you ever tempted ?

Nope.

What is it that kept you going ?

My determination to better my life as I knew I was going down hill very fast and also knew I was much better than the way I waas and deserved more.


Did you say I AM NEVER DRINKING AGAIN one day ?

https://www.mywayout.org/community/f8...ife-35721.html If you read this satz it explains some of it.


or did you arse around like me for a year or two ?

I tried for years to stop and even on many occasisons thought I was controlling the alcohol when in fact it was controlling me,I also stopped every year for a few weeks in the belief that I was still in control,what a joke.


Sorry for this heavy stuff :egad:

No problem :l
