PTL you got it out first.

Thanks JC, needed to be done, a line has been drawn in the sand, a straight one. No more lies, especially to myself.

Good job Tabbs - try not to beat yourself up though over the incident last week - because you will just feel worse and the aim here is to feel better and move forward.
Treating incidents in isolation we can quickly forget - till the next time. Just add it to everything else and move on.
I would treat last week as the last straw and something that was inevitable.

We are always here and if I can do this -so can you :hug:

[satz123]

Nearly afraid to ask ---- mainly cos I used to slink away when anyone asked me ------ do you have a PLAN????? (besides not drinkin of course :hugesmile

My EYES - too many smileys
:hugesmile:

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Thanks Benji.

A plan ladies? Yeah I have a plan the same one that kept me sober for 100 days before complacency and rose tinted specs crept in and convinced me that it would be ok to pick up that first drink.
This is no just a reaction to a bad night, it has been coming for months now, probably the reason I came back to the fold. Anyways I must away to work for a few hours, thanks again all.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Previous post: 'no just a reaction' haha I am starting to sound Scottish before the game....

[JackieClaire]

I've got to go...........going into the office with Mr JC to do some tidying.

Before I go, Tabbers..............remember you're a good, kind and gentle man.............we have been where you are today. Take some pride in opening up to us and gather strength from the knowledge that a sober life can be happy and calm.

Afternoon army and enjoy the match anyone who is going or watching. Well done Tabbers for reaching out we've all been there. Myself too many times but i'm sober today and that's what counts. Well a very bad start to my day ny 3yr old male cat Prince took bad early this morning and I got down to the vet in town for 8 o clock opening. He couldn't stand as his back legs were limp and he has panting and crying aful to watch,. Anyway the vet said he suffered a bad stroke and had been with a heart defect which nothing could be done about or could not gartantee a full recovery so I had to have hime put to sleep. I'm sad and grieving today but it will pass and he's at peace. Thank god I started antibuse so I won't drink over it and it won't bring him back. Not up to internet much today so i'll be back at some stage later or tomorrow if i'm up to it. I put something up on fb which some of you may see.

[roxane]

oh foxy im so sorry to hear that. what a horrible shock. someone i knew years ago said he wouldnt have animals as losing them is so painful. hes right, it is. but the joy comfort and love they give outweighs it. so hard to deal with though, hugs to you.

[roxane]

hope the other cats are ok as well. you can never tell, they either dont show theyve noticed or get unsettled.

meanwhile, ive been up a ladder footed by a tiny 72 yo woman. what could possibly go wrong? those three piece ladders can go quite high cant they.

[JackieClaire]

Ahh, Foxxy, love, my heart goes out to you. :hug: I'm glad you were beside him at the end.

[JackieClaire]

X-post Roxxy,
As long as you don't fall on her........things should be OK.

[roxane]

she wouldnt have been much of a cushion.

i read tabbers posts, i dont know him but see that he posts occasionally. hope youre doing ok tabs.

[JackieClaire]

Well she'd be something to break the fall.

[JackieClaire]

She came with the ladders.

[roxane]

where did you GET her?

She came with the ladders.

:happy2:

:welldone: I'd visions of Roxy out hustling some old lady in off the road
