evening Benjy --- bit out of it here this evening --- I had implants done on my teeth today Mary -- and he gave me a tranquilizing sort of injection which he didn't do before --- as well as all the freezing ---- just feel groggy

you ok now Molls ?

[Rusty]

Molly-not trying to sound like your mum here...but you might want to take Advil or something before you go to bed so you don't wake up with a throbbing mouth in the middle of the night. That has got to be painful and I hate that groggy feeling. You poor thing.:hug:

[Rusty]

yeah --- deffo groggy tho --- nearly that drunk feeling when you just 'know' you've had one too many --- how the FECK would we suffer going back to feeling like that ---- not for NOTHIN.....

You've got that right, Molly. No way...never want to wake up not remembering what I did in the afternoon/evening...or waking up to a totally trashed kitchen. How the hell did it get like that? Um, I don't remember eating that salad, and I COOKED something on the stove????????? It's no wonder I did not set myself on fire, I tell you.

[Rusty]

Ok, good, Molly, you have some pain meds. Codeine DOES work.

Hey Mary! Big welcomes here from another M.... -Cailin from Ireland!don't worry bout spending too long here - we've all done it and it balances out - we DO need support in the early days tho! Tell us a bit bout yerself if u feel comfortable - how the grog affected yer life etc

Thanks MollyKa - big post alert!
Nothing new in my story, Good childhood, little exposure to Al..but it was love at first sight, way back at the teenage disco!
Even then I knew my relationship with AL was different than friends. I managed to keep ''under control'' for years, although Id always have a bottle stashed in the wardrobe, where ever I was living, even before I met my husband.
I didn't have to hide too much, its easy to be drinker in Ireland.
I was (past!) a daily drinker, white wine, lidl have probably noticed a drop in sales over the past 10 days.
I could go for a week without a hangover, by calculating time, water, volume, sleep (it would make an excellent leaving cert maths question!). Exhausting. But, it allowed me to believe I was grand - sure everyone's the same.
Then I would ''be good'' for a few days, then make up for my loss on a Friday. I pretended that i didnt miss it during pregnancies, but it was torture.
Anyway, I have had numerous half arsed attempts and 2 serious attempts, both hitting 30 days. The 1st a few years ago, the second in May.
Im not letting go now, Im going to beat this bastard (excuse my french).
Sorry, I dont normally yap so much! Thanks for letting me join in!

That checking the trash to see what I'd made and maybe eaten was so humiliating. It didn't even cross my mind that I wasn't the only one who ever did that.

[NoSugar]

Hi, Mary! You've found a great home-base. I'd be here more but they've got the clocks wrong :wink:.

[IamMary]

Good woman Mary - you made it over :applause:
As Molls says : I LIVED on here in the early days. On my phone too.....
It paid off 'cos I'am AF 2 years :egad:- this is from a wan that was a seasoned wine drinker and couldn't go one day without the wine ritual.

Thanks Satz, I feel at home already! I didnt realise the army was the same time zone.
Your all so far on, wish I found this place years ago. Everyone has come through the same battle.
Thanks again.
