After 2 drinks I was getting a bit of the buzz and the slight loss of co-ordination - but the true nice 'blather' (not drunk -- just well the 'don't give a shit' stage) would come a couple of drinks after that...... and then I'm up to 4 drinks amn't I ----- and then I'm way over safety levels............ never really thought of it like that ---

Do you know Molls - that's how I think when I 'think' of drink these days.
Satz thinking:
Jazus I'd have one , two - then what - would just be annoying myself - 'cos I'd want more and then I have a hangover - then I'd be pissed off - then ....WHAT?? Start all over again?
Ah no - can't be arsed with that. :moon:
However I'm realistic - I am an 'ol biddy and D'arsey is a youngfella.
I've had a good innings - he still needs to get out there and socialise.
- and it's very difficult, as drinking is the norm at most social occasions in our society.
I see his side to this and wish him luck in whatever he decides. We all made decisions be they right or wrong for years and we are here thankfully to tell the tale.
This mammy is going to cut him loose , no screaming and let him make his decisions too ........ I'll always be here either way :thumbs:as youse lot have always been for me when I made dodgy decisions :l

Well Satz, while agree with it being totally D'Arsey's decision and I am an auld biddy but the rate of deaths among young people through alcohol is absolutely horrific.

Luckily some young 'uns are cottoning on now and giving it a swerve.

The guy I was talking to last week was sober over 3 years, started drinking and now 2 and a half years later he can barely walk and has what they call in AA wet brain. Not a pretty sight at only 37.

So if I come across heavy handed, I apologise.

Evening all. Inchy - congrats on 5 days! Such an odd week it has been here at work. People took their annoying pills apparently.

I have a publisher who does a magazine all about wine. He knows that I do not drink anymore, and I told him to please not send me any "gifts". Today I got a box of two large bottles of expensive wine. They are under my desk, waiting to be re-gifted as Christmas presents. I said thank you for the thoughtfulness, but I really wanted to reach through the email and punch him in the neck. I had a fleeting thought of "a nice glass of wine would be wonderful..." and then I got really angry. I do think that he drinks alot of what he writes about, so maybe he forgot my alkie confession...lol

Have a lovely night all.

Waggy

Maybe it's cos I'm closer to my drinking days than you are Jackie (jaysus, not somethin to be proud of!!!!!) I can remember that 'pull' that 'maybe I CAN do it, maybe I'm different' had over me....... I spent my days in a sort of dissatisfied state --- I wouldn't wish how my drinking days ended on my worst enemy ( rehab ffs!!!) - but I AM grateful in that I am now in NO doubt, there's NO questions running round in my head --- and that contributes to the amazing peace I feel these days......... hard fucking way to find out tho

Moi............ the bad cop. :H

I can still recognize the pull. But it's not for a couple of drinks. It's very a very rare thought but I wonder what it would be like to get smashed out of me brains.


Did you know that the crack/heroin addicts admire us for giving up the drink.
