Army Thread Thursday 23rd May

Tips: situation sounds awful, as reccy said, look after yourself whilst all thats going on.

Arsey: I'll take you up on that breakfast and seeing Tom Waits? you lucky git xD I've seen alot of great live music but a legend like that would be incredible.

Molly: gonna second your post re tensions in the army yesterday - hoping for some calm in the family today. The book you're reading sounds cool, I have a bit of a thing for reading books on addicts, mostly musicians it must be said - Scar Tissue, Anthony Kiedis' autobiography remains a favorite.

Reccy: Always makes me smile when I hear how well you're doing, I'm glad you managed a little sleep, and your walks sound like they would be rather a peaceful affair at that time of the morning.

Mario: sucks about the tablet, I would be livid if I paid for repairs and that happened.

Sweetpea: sending continuing strength to you.

Anon: Morning, congrats again on beating the youngsters yesterday

JC: least you and Mr.JC make one good one xD sorry to hear about the fall.

Pingu: if you're about, morning.

EW: If you check in, sending you the best.

and in Inchy corner: thanks for the support guys, in a bit of an awkward place now - other half is taking me to drop in, but has also informed me if I don't get my act together in a meaningful, long term fashion he is going to leave me. Really shocked and a little lost - only relationship that's been in my life longer than al... dunno how to feel really.

wishing all well

-Inchy

Oh Inchy, was having a lurk last and saw you're going to have a bash at the drop in centre. Delighted for you and very proud. I'll bet you'll be very surprised by the age range you find there. And remember you don't have to do anything you don't want to.

Morning Foxy.

Oooh I wonder if Satz has bought us presents.

thanks everyone

Molly: I don't know how to feel about it - I am terrified of losing him, my first reaction was to panic and promise the earth. I'm not stupid, I know what I do hurts him but I never thought I could do something bad enough that he would leave. The stupid thing is a part of me still wants to somehow convince him he was wrong to threaten that, how dare he tell me what I can't do? I'm angry at myself for that. I really want this, I guess it's just made me more afraid to fail, I don't know what he considers failure - what if I slip and thats the last straw? I never realised how serious this all was until I read that, he said to me 'we're not playing games anymore' - I've never known him like that. I don't know, sorry I'm rambling - freaking out haha

Aww Inchy doesn't matter whether we're 20 or 200 hundred years old. Think we all want to be right.

Tell him that. Ask him what he considers failure and see if you can't come to an agreement on his terms for staying vs leaving.

Mornin again MrsA, Jackie, Foxy, Molls, Waggy n Inchy :wavin:

Jackie- having a fall is scary you poor ting:l Best ya get an xray. Wish I was closer, would love to have a dog to take for a walk.

Inchy- I can understand you being angry and terrified at being told what not to do and the threat, guess I would be the same and think if I were threatened I would react the same way. But it's obvious he loves and cares for you and wants to stop seeing you harm yourself. Does Inchy love and care about herself enough to stop? That's the question I had to ask of myself after years of thinking of myself as worthless and not caring where my drinking would end. Im nowhere near the stage of loving and accepting myself but its a work in progress only made possible by quitting the booze.
Just wanna send you strength and love n hugs :l:l

Righto folks, Iz fed, watered n washed, gonna head down and see my Aunt for the day, hope ye all have a good one and hopefully see ya's later xxx

molly thank you for sharing that with me, I really related to thinking if people would just keep out of it it would be fine for me to drink all the damn time if I wanted to (which alot of the time I do/did). what you say about ODAT really means alot to me to, I hope you're right (you usually are on these things xD) - I am going to go out of my way to prove to him, and to myself that I am capable of doing this, or that I'm trying.

Surprisingly we actually have talks like that all the time, usually on skype it has to be said, not one to acquit myself well verbally but trying my best. talking to him now actually, he apologises for the threat but not entirely sure what to make of that.

JC: I'm as scared of being right on this one as I am of being wrong. Damn complicated situation haha

Siren: discussing with him now but not entirely sure the state of play still

xpost: sweetpea, I think you kinda hit the nail on the head there. I know for a fact I hold myself to impossible standards, can't begin to like myself unles I meet them despite the fact I would never expect anybody else to do that. I guess the only answer I see is to do it for him until I'm strong enough to do it for me. thanks

By the way, I just wanted to say that I am horrified by the attack in London and I hope it ends with this incident, though I'm not too hopeful. Prayers that it does, though.
