A very minor embuggerance tbh.

I'm not much of a one for sharing, and I've been a bit quiet lately, but I'm gonna say one thing. My life was absolutely shot to pieces when I shipped myself off to rehab. I had no joy, no interest, no feckin ANYTHING. I didn't want to die (strangely enough) but I just didn't give a shit one way or the other. The way I was feeling and NOT coping with life was due to the effects of too much alcohol over a long period of time. Simple as.

Remove the alcohol... number one. Give the brain some time to repair... number two. Engage in rational thinking and finding out what made you do it in the first place... number three. I'm at three. Number Four... get the feck on with yer life as a new better you.

There's still all the hassles and shit, but they are minimized now... they are manageable.

Anyway, thought I would share. Hope it helps someone...

I'm glad it's minor... I spent a lot of time with no heat when I lived in Aberdeen and Inverness it wasn't nice in the cold months.

Jackie... I couldn't see the woods for the trees. And I was tits up with the grog. And it's tough to take it all on board and do the right thing. And be honest. But honesty is key, with oneself and everyone else.

Oh, and good morning!

I'm smiling... and it feels good to smile... I haven't had a good old no reason to smile for a long time now. And I'm not scared of myself or alcohol. I used to live in fear. Och... there I go now... waxing lyrical.

"That" place is truly awful Jacks. You've talked to me plenty times when I was in a dark horrible place, so you know how bad it was. I'm so extremely grateful to be free of that shit.

Here here Zens. There are still hassles and shit cos that is life, right? But we dinnae need to deal with it through lens of the bottom of a bottle of whatever.

Just VERY quickly popping in cos I got back from docs with me blood test results and he said on the whole fine - not anaemic, no weird blood disorder or anything...BUT one of me liver numbers was up... So came clean about me drinking - just said gave up 3 month ago after 12+years downing 70+units a week and he was like..."Ah!" so reckons it is most likely the liver still cleaning itself. And as for me downness the last few weeks, he reckons that's more to do with me having to find new coping mechanisms to deal with stress and the hassles of life - which previously I would dealt with by drowning it all in a bottle of the local offies ?5 bottle of vin rouge. True... there's other stuff too (self-esteem stuff), but none of it was being dealt with when I was drinking.

Hmmm.... getting them blood results was a bit of an eye-opener... like a "who'd you think yer kiddin, eh arsey?! .... perfectly healthy?! ... aye right" I was doing physical damage to meself. Makes me a bit more resolute to continue on this path methinks

I'M LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gotta run....

Last day here for my daughter and family as they are off to Oman at 5am tomorrow.

Very mixed feelings as my house is chaotic and another Grandson has Norovirus and I am worried everyone is about to get it:upset:
