UP AND AT 'EM ARMY,,,,,19th Oct 2015

Morning.

JC - just before that post is buried.. 4am!!bonkers.. although in a way I get it. How long did it take you to get to that point, from being a normal?
That's very nosey of me, you can put me on igrore:02.47-tranquillity:

Not nosy at all............inquisitive, yes.

Problem is I can't really put a time line on it............I know my drinking escalated after my Pa died in 1999 and I was hitting it pretty hard before then.

I resigned (before I was pushed I reckon) 2003..........I used to wait for Mr JC to go out to work before I got up and there was one day I got the shock of my life when he was still downstairs..........he had some course to go on and was still there. Nearly died on the spot. And I'd been going through the 3/4am wake ups for ages so came up with this clever plan to have a couple so I could look 'normal' first thing.

Tbh if I look back I was never a 'normal' drinker..........didn't matter where we were and who we were with I always wanted one (or ten) more drink.

Thanks JC.. situation might differ, but the sneaking and desperation were the same.

Morning Roxy, Molly and Shambles too.. Its fresh out there.
Whats the plan Shambles, today is DAY ONE?? I love posting on the Roll call, its not for everyone, but I love seeing the number go up (Im a bit childish).

[JackieClaire]

I have to admit I'm a bit of a number freak. I count everything and only found out not so long ago my brother is the same.

Afternoon army. Hugs Molly new changes are always tough at first but i'm sure you and Joe will pull tru. Off to the the library later to bring back some stuff to return and 2 books to renew. its our local library late opening of 2 till 8pm. Felt a miserable yesterday and the grey day didn't help. Some days are better than others. Good for me to get out today as I stayed in all day Sunday and yesterday and did very little and drinking thoughts were creeping in.

Hey Army - Molly :hug:

I haven't read back yet. I think I need to read the stories that Pauly is talking about. Yesterday - some crazy thoughts were going on in my brain. :waaaa::waaaa: Luckily not close enough to being serious that it's an issue but enough that I am sticking close.

Happy day everyone.

Been driving to my next workshop and then my wireless internet dongle thing couldn't find a network yesterday when I got here. Got home to the B&B after a gruelling 1st day of the workshop. Internet signal back...but couln't find the Army!

[JackieClaire]

Lovely to see you Nora and Pauly.......I'm an open book............the only thing I won't tell you is my dress size.
