Army on Parade 18th January

[sunbird2]

Evening!
So sorry Satz...you must be going through such a worrying time:hug:

[sunbird2]

anybody still awake?

[NoSugar]

I am. And avoiding work :wink:.

[sunbird2]

Hi NS...I'm still anxiously waiting for the contract work to come along...very anxiety provoking for me!

[sunbird2]

hi Molls...leaba...? what's that?

[sunbird2]

I'm falling asleep...nearly midnight here,,,

[sunbird2]

aha! Thanks Molly!

[sunbird2]

Well its bed for me. Have a good sleep all....tomorrow will be a better day!

[IamMary]

Hi Nearly-asleep-Sunny and in the-leaba-Molly.
And pretending to work NS!

How long is the contract Sunny? Is it local?

[satz123]

Evening.
We will pick ourselves up and start again.
He's not allowed back into group - but was the last night of this phase - so I went alone and got good support.
He will meet with the facilitator tomorrow and see next steps to get back on track.
He is genuinely devastated and frightened that how easily this happened.
But on the plus side he's had a taste of sober life and can look forward to getting back there.

[NoSugar]

Not being allowed back in seems harsh. We are human, after all, and addiction is particularly difficult. I guess that is something I like about an online forum. I hope he can find a non-punitive source of support, Satz. We punish ourselves enough. I'm glad they are giving you what you need, though. xx, NS

Oh Satz that is hard to cope with. Sometimes when we have made it ourselves to see another (especially a loved one) is worse than anything.
I guess we all have to learn the hard way on this and young satz is no exception. Will he be thrown off the whole programme? I would imagine that they are making him have consequences for his actions and that is why he is banned from the group? At least he hasn't given up trying. That is the positive here

[starty]

Does Mr Satz get involved at all?

[starty]

I seem to have found a bit of pink cloud to float on just now. I really thought that this phase had eluded me this time and am DELIGHTED it hasn't. I feel totally different and positive for some reason and have energy. Imagine that. E*N*E*R*G*Y. Where the hell has that come from :haha:

[starty]

I was thinking about my antisocial streak too. I have NO enthusiasm to go to parties, small talk with folks I don't know even when I am confident about not drinking. But meeting up with folks from MWO and I am completely different. What is that all about???
