Look does anyone mind if I have a small early morning download?

I asked some friends over this last weekend just gone and the first thing they/she said was 'Well are you going to drink?'
When I re-iterated for the 15,000th time that I don't like drinking anymore they decided not to come.
Now is it me, or is that bloody rude?
Sorry but it's been bothering the shit out of me for days. If I'm not prepared to drink and act like the village fucking idiot, they don't want to come over any more? Is that it?
And it's not as if this is breaking news or anything. I've been sober for a long time now.

Anyway thanks for being here Undies. Sometimes I just get the bothers about things....

Happy Hump Day!

I'm worried about Mr G too. Don't know what to do though.....

Bridge - tell them to get fucked!!! Sorry, but that is just bloody awful. I lost quite a few 'friends' when I stopped drinking. Best thing that ever happened. I still get one dear old bloke friend who bangs on about not being able to share a nice bottle of red at sunset with me. WTF, I enjoy a sunset MORE without a bottle or 22 of red. Some people just don't get it. If I care enough about someone, I want to spend time with them no matter what. No conditions, no strings, no pressure. That's what having a functional, reciprocal relationship is about. Respect, regard and being real. Man, I'm a bit mad on your behalf. Want I should sort the fuckers out????

Sorry for the rude words those of us who just don't go there.....

Tawny - your sparky will tell tales about his visit to your house for the next 20 years. It may even be a story that gets passed down for another 120. You're a bloody good chick you are!!!

That's all for now. Meeting with the big boys so I've deliberately worn my pink fur jacket. Yes, you heard me, my p.i.n.k fur (fake of cause 'cos I don't think there are any real pink furry critters) jacket. And, pink lips to match. Take that you bunch of moth ball smelling, posh speaking intellects!!!

Wow, I think I'm in a mood today......

Love yas v.much XXXX

Yes please.
I'll PM you their address.:H
You are so right Noice One. I knew I'd have to give up more than just plonk, so they better just go I think.
The last time I drank I just hated it so much. I could not wait to be sober and normal again. So it's not going to change. I've got lots of lovely new friends who could give a rat's arse if I drink or not.
Just makes me sad.

I think we all want to be liked for who we are Bridge. Not what (shit) we do...time to let go and give your new friends your time and energy...

Morning Gang,

Bridge - I've posted this before but often find myself re-reading it in order to make sense of my relationships:

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

I love this Tawny. Base my friendships on it now in all honesty.

And I find myself being more measured in finding those friendships than I was say, even six months ago. You can still be a pre-school kid, who IS everyones friend and wants EVERYONE to be their friend. But you've got to grow up.

Hmmm. Perhaps we owe it to ourselves to only surround ourselves with folk that are good for us? Maybe even be a bit cut-throat about it. I must admit I've really struggled with that.

Morning all

A quote that I've taken to heart in recent times:

"Don't mourn for the people in your past. There's a reason they haven't made it into your future."

And on that succinct note of wisdom I'm off to work. Have a lovely day everyone. :h

Have to add to this...eldest locust has a list...on it are his friendships based on different criteria...personal and professional...if people don't get a certain amount of check points they're off...ruthless...he's 18 ffs...

What happened to the days of "I like red smarties, you like red smarties we MUST be best friends?"
