hi happy place; hows tricks?

Morning, please bear with me MWO's moving at treacle speed for me.
There ya are, Starty.
I've got my last day and defining moment in the Our Story bit. I'll rake them out if you like.

Yes please Jax. I want to read all this stuff again x

[starty]

I think the disappointment and fear would come back for Mr JC and the kids.......that would cripple me.

I'm thinking at the moment, Starty.............just keep it simple.
You used to swear by the L-Glut..........get guzzling.
Eat little and often
Plenty fluids of the non-alcoholic variety.
Rest when you can and do it often as often as you can.
Then routine..........I'm sure we had our routines when we drinking............then replace that with a new routine...........mine back in the day was clicking the kettle on.

These next few weeks are all about plodding............plodding through the daily grind.......and you know it will get better......I promise

Yes I did swear by it. And the all one. I am going to load up because I have both. I also used to take Kudzu too. Might look that up and get some.

Plodding at the moment seems very appealing, just get through the days and treat myself to rest and reading.

L glut worked for me, was probs a placebo, but feck it , it made me feel better

Yes they all are.

I was thinking of saying nowt and glossing over this period. But I would have only been kidding myself and that is much more dangerous because I would have probably believed it in the end which is not good. I need to be brutally honest and also if it helps someone else then that is a great thing.

Self-deprecating humour I love it; I study self-deprecating humour I'm writing a thesis on it at the moment on a little experiment im doing at university with participants who take the mick out of themselves

Plodding sounds like a good plan Starty. The old one day at a time.

I think there is a lot of documented research that shows it is not a placebo pinks. I will dig out some posts that I read way back when I first started taking it

There was a lot of stuff in Holistics? I went through it all with a fine tooth comb too

Nah speak up, weve all been there, remember when i used to kid my self i could moderate i was like yeah i'm just gonna drink on a Saturday for a couple of hours get wrecked and leave it for a week or so; then Jacks said "seems more like binge drinking to me" and i needed to hear that cause my sick mind had excused binge drinking for moderation, our minds convince us of all kinds, best to share and get others views
