Apologies if im outa order here Inchy but is there anyway you'd be able to get a wee place for yerself, or with the wife? It just seems that your family cause so many difficulties for you and that is not on in any circumstance but moreso when ye are striving to give the booze the boot. You would benefit from a calm, peaceful and supportive environment imhho xx

Just hate to think of ye dealing with all that crap on top of the usual crap that comes from quitting

Jeez Inchy- they sure do sound a nightmare, sorry to say:l

Re the quit/quitting- for me it took countless failed attempts before this one ya know, each time learning a little bit more about myself until it came to the stage where I was like 'I cant do this anymore to myself' 'I deserve better', still not outa the woods by a longshot but it's a journey that im kinda enjoying, you will get there wee one, YOU DEFO WILL xx

Don't give up trying and do try stick around here:l

Must really off to the leaba or the poor ol folk are gonna have a very grumpy n tired nurse tomorrow!!! Nighters and sweetdreams Inchy xx

Just celebratory.

when i die let there be a funeral
in some grand cathedral
with choral sounds resounding off stone walls

and let there be people there
kids and clowns, drunks and delinquents,
priests and old wise women

and let them speak and laugh and cry
oral expression entwining with choral song
to fill the capacious cathedral

and let there be dogs and cats
bikers and skateboarders,
pipe smokers and whisky imbibers

noises and voices i shared when i wasn't cooped in a coffin

let eulogies be spoke and
music played to raise the sense of wonder that is
to be and not to be

and people will be given paints and brushes
to draw upon the walls
words, pictures, symbols.

let this be a mess - a work of art in progress
a day and night to express
the passing of one life

before being drawn together
as one body. silence falls.
breath. the body breaths.

and the priest in full vestment
will proclaim the god damn mystery
that is life and death

and lead in song and prayer
and an open acknowledgement that the only person in this cathedral that knows more than anyone else about the god damn mystery that is life and death -
is me.
