    Sorry girls- the stew needed a few more spuds added to make it less a soup more a stew!!

    I wonder are you too hard on yourself? And yeah -- s'pose to a certain extent we could all do with a kick up the arse for one reason or another --- but mebbe with you --- I wonder is it similar to Benjy with the job --- so many hours in the week and such stress on a young one like you --- AND in relatively early sobriety --- it doesn't leave a lot of time for you to 'explore' what it is you want to do with the rest of your life..... and yet you need to earn the dosh..... it's hard you know --- it's not like you're just sitting at home whinging into a bar of chocolate 24/7 -- s'pose it's about finding a balance and not expecting too much --- appreciating the little things (that made a huge difference to me --- for so long - the 'buzz' was mighty and little things were just too...... little - to be taken into account) -- AND we're heading into Spring/Summer --- lifts the heart almost naturally --- we've had a long cold miserable old winter....... try not to think that you're not doing well --- you're doing brilliantly --- and the self confidence and self-satisfaction will come in time.....
    I think you are very hard on yourself --- SO I DO:H
    :H You're not the first has said that to me!! Ah well I am grateful tonight for small things, like a warm house, stew in the pot- not soup!! Good family and friends and that includes ye lot here xx Sometimes my mind gets trapped into a cycle of kicking me when am down- and I feckin let it Does that make sense?!

    What time's yer AA Molls?

      AA's at 8.30 -- I need to contribute a bit more there --- I've been turning up and going home again without much else lately -- dunno what that's all about --- back in the day when 'I knew everything' --- I'd say I don't need AA -- however, nowadays when I accept that I know shag all --- I prolly do need it --- just not sure what it is I need tho --- now does any of THAT make sense:H
      Best away and get the kettle on for himself
      Please be 100% sure that not only were my first remarks not aimed at you -- they were DEFINITELY aimed at me and fellow oldies here --- be kind to yourself --- LIKE yourself --- unless you do -- you will consider there's nothing to like:l:l
      Thanks Molls:l Don't agree that you know shag all tho

          And yes, I do believe it's harder when you're younger --- we've done the dancing on tables --- (speaking for myself) done the daft stuff --- and now it's time to move on...... deffo not aimed at you --- AT ALL!!!!!!Like I said before I'm grateful for the innings I had - some could keep it there - but I went a step further and couldn't keep going as I was :no:
          Felt the same about the fags when I gave them up - don't be greedy - after 30 you've had enough :H!!
