Out of curiosity, is it possible/safe to drive when you're detoxing?

As far as I know absolutely not. Brain will be on planet Zoned Out for the first couple of days and it would have thought it would be classed as a DUI. I'll ask my resident lawyer but he's up at his Ma and Pa's.

right, this is me officially picking myself up, dusting myself off and saying today is a goodamn new day. Taken a nice long walk in the sun, treated myself to some mango, chocolate for this evening and a red bull (because I'm allowed one vice right? xD) So the next few days are gonna suck, but I have my surprisingly helpful homework assignments, my plan and a whole load of support to get through this.

Molly and Reccy talking about this disease being progressive is something I have to confess I've learnt lately to my expense, more than doubled the amount I drink since the start of the year, and I didn't exactly start on a healthy level, the last month or so especially... I'm gonna end up in a pretty awful place sooner rather than later if I don't stop today.

got myself a pretty little quote in my head that ya'll have reminded me of, courtesy of one of my homework assignments from this week:

'take the time to pull the weeds, choking flowers in your life'.

well I think its time I took a little of that advice.

re detox and driving, if it involves the kinda meds I heard ya'll talking about, I've seen my mum on similar and I would definitely say driving would be a very poor plan

It's amazing what a bit of sunshine and a big think can do.

Right I'd better get back to me pots.

Ahh crapola Mollers... But I have to say, when I was his age I was smoking and snorting anything that didn't move out of my way. Peer pressure you know... the rest of them are up to it and you get egged on to fitting in. I reckon that may be what's going on and that he will grow out of it. I'm not a parent as yer kaknowz... but I would stick me two pee worth in his ear if I were you... I'd be scared that by not doing so he would think it's OK to meander off down that road. That's just me though.

Inchy... What the others said... Rome wasn't built in a day so back on the horse with you! (Sorry your mum's not doing so good. She's lucky to have you...)

*waves* Hiya to the rest of the troops!

I'm having a day of rest, it being the Sabbath and all (Jackie!). I reckon I totally overdid it in the yard the last month as my right hand has gone numb. I did lift a lot of weight so I'm not panicking... YET!!!

I'm orf to the shops in a few and then I am slobbing on the couch, apart from cooking din-dins on my new bast friend, the barbie... )

thanks Zen

just hanging out at home, listening to one of my brothers drug dealer friends talk about getting beat up in the park a minute ago over owing some other drug guy money. turned up with marks all over him, and of all things my mother hears what happened and gives the boy a drop of whiskey to calm him down. Love my mum to death but her parenting style is unorthodox to say the least xD got 2 drug dealers in the house plus 4 customers... oh for a restful sunday (JC :P) afternoon

Hiya It's got to be a tricky balancing act zenny....yes, I agree Joey should be made aware that the substance abuse etc is not acceptable but on the other hand mollers doesn't want to frighten him off from returning home if he thinks he's going to be given a hard time. Spoken as another non-parent!

I got out of the shopping and I'm officially ON THE COUCH! It's a gorgeous day out there... I'll keep an eye on it through the windaes!

Reccy... they're lucky to have our non-parent trained opinions wouldn't ya say?!!! We'd be deadly if we had sprogs...

Inchy... Never a dull moment in your house by the sounds of things.

And considering what's goin on in the background we had a truly lovely afternoon - lunch was lovely and then we all just sat out in the back garden and it was really lovely - nice to have all my boys together too - doesn't happen that regularly - usually one of them missing. Joey really does seem in great form, but he said his friend is having lunch with his own family today and Joey's gonna stay here tonight --- I'm guessing the big 'intervention' may be happening today and Joey's steering well clear -
tbh I reckon peeps without children prolly talk a lot more sense really - it's all too subjective when you ARE the mam or dad - and you just feckin care too much - would also explain why mostly the nannies etc. employed by wealthy people back in the day were usually sprog free - much more sensible!!

That's pretty much IT in a nutshell Reccie - a fine line indeed!!!

How are you all this evening?

You know, you are dead right. When I was typing that response to you earlier I was thinking "easy for me to say when I don't have the tugs at the heart strings"...

You'll do the right thing, I know that. You have a great sense of who your kids are and you'll act accordingly... :l
