ARMY WEEK,,,,,,,,,26th October 2015

[starty]

I think it was a whole bunch of things. Complacency being one, boredom being another, working with a big drinking crowd, stressful job, and the old chestnut looking for a buzz

[starty]

Dunno, but I work with a young crowd and I used not to drink with them. But now they see me as the one always up for it. I will just have to come clean and say I am the wagon with one hangover too many. I am hoping that no one smelt the booze on my breath at work in the morning.

[starty]

They will be fine. They liked me before, and I am sure it is because no one likes to be the only pisshead and there is safety in numbers that they encouraged me

[starty]

Yes Molls you are so right. Thanks so much for the early morning pep talk xxxxx

Looks like I missed the early birds catching the worm.

WFH today :yay:
It's actually dangerous here.
I keep going on to House of Fraser and seeing bargains I really NEED - ::eek-new:

Mary young Satz is going well. Nearing end 2 weeks sober.
We have appointment for Monday for him.
This is my humble opinion but I think younger people need more help coping with AF situations and he needs confirmation from someone that he nas to STOP completely.
He needs coping skills - 'cos while it's ok for me to sit and veg till I feel safe - younger folk are out & about still socializing.

Morning all just finishing my coffee then a load of washing to in the machine and dish washer. I see some of you are ahead of me lol. Lots of stuff to be done housework wise but it will be done over the weekend bit by bit. Mary i'm feeling ok now I did have drink thoughts and cravings for few glasses of wine but I know where it leads so I talk myself out of it or ride it out but i'm more or less ok once it gets later in to the evening. Like Roxy my witching hour seems to be afternoons/early evenings. Off to the Waterside shopping mall in Arkla co. Wickla to some shopping this morning. Its a lovely shopping mall with Aldi Dealz Dunnes and a nice coffee shop. Its only 40 mins in good traffic down the n11 so its just a change of scenery and a day out lol. I got my flu jab last week and asi have a medical card I get it free. Not sure why but my gp said I need it every year. The only side effect I get is that i'm bit shakey for a couple of hours after but that's it. Off to make porridge and then get ready to head out. Starty the sweats and nausha usually end I find bout 3 to 5 days. Have a terrific Thursday till later. xx

Morning lovelies,
Think I'm in hibernation mode and I'm quite enjoying it.

[JackieClaire]

Well I have to get up for comfort breaks, cheese and onion toasties, chocolate so if I'm honest its really just lying in bed too long.

[IamMary]

2 weeks is a great start Satz.
Poor thing, it is very tough. Hes friends sound like a decent bunch though, they were the ones that called it in, wasn't it?
A friends boyfriend took the same path when we were in our early 20s. They married now and live happily every after, but at the time we were soo clueless. After rehab he still went to all our party's, but always seemed very sure of himself, of who he was - while the rest of us ran around like headless chickens for another decade.

Enjoy the shopping Glitzy.. Witching hour was catching me out too recently, but the joyous mornings are so so so so lovely!

Shhh. better not wake JC up!!
