Morning Army

Well just off on my trip - Mick I SO remember those platform tickets - they used to cost 1d (that's an old penny, for the benefit of the young ones here!) and if you were quick, sly, and dodgy you could certainly get a train ride without paying any more - not taking that risk today...

I might not have any internet for the next couple of days but will check in if I can... Have a great weekend!

best of luck...just remember mate that one drink just aint worth it!!!!!

Thanks for the welcome Guys

Well after having been sober since May 10th 2010, I decided out of the blue about a year and a half ago, maybe a little more, that I was going to just have one drink the odd time. Have no idea why I decided that or where it came from. So I did that, had 2 drinks and no more. I tried having 3 a couple times but always felt so shitty afterwards and my tolerance levels were so low. So it stayed at 2 drinks Fri/ Sat and Sunday for about a year. Then it became 2 drinks Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun which in Turn became a nightly thing.

Even though I was not getting drunk nor merry, I didn't like it, it bothered me. I began to feel a bit ashamed of it and when I found myself lying to family about how many nights I drank, I knew I was back.

I know people think that 2 drinks is not much and I know I did not go back to what I drank the last time but the point here is that I just could not, my body would not let me and I still have such a fear of being drunk and having a hangover that I religiously had my 2 drinks without it ever entering my head to have any more than that.

So picked a day and like the last time just stopped, I feel good, happy with my decision and a bit relieved to be totally honest. For me it has nothing to do with the volume I was drinking and everything to do with the habit and reliance and using booze as a reward system for myself.

So here I am at Day 13 and loving it x

Hi again all.

All good here Mickaloo, just going out for a stroll and maybe a run tomorrow.

Tony have a great trip and take care. I fell like a stone on my last one

Satzy do you really HAVE to go to all the funerals? We had a spate a few years ago, I just said no. Unless someone has meant alot to me I do not really see that it is necessary?

[starty]

Great to see you back on the straight and narrow Oney. I have never met anyone that does really well on any amount of booze and the amount of peeps with depression is unreal yet they do not see the connection of what they are swallowing each night (now stop that durty thinkingpeeps)

I have been gone so log I cannot even remember how to post with a quote ha ha. I agree with you on that, even 2 drinks does affect you negatively and that coupled with the shame of having been AF for so long and then back to nightly drinking albeit small does not make for a happy Oney.

[satz123]

Funeraled out. I go Starts 'cos Mr S makes me feel guilty if I don't. Makes me feel mean spirited that I wouldn't take time to pay respects.
It's the religious stuff I resent

795 e fraudulently charged to my Visa Card - bastards.
Apparently I ordered furniture from US :haha: I wish !!

Welcome back Oney - I guess you've proved @ 2 drinks a night that moderation in some cases IS possible?

[one2many2]

Hate funerals, also to do with the religious stuff, they don't like witches like me

Oh No Satz, will you get it back???

It was possible for me not to go beyond 2 because of the fear of being ill BUT it caught me hook, line and sinker straight back into a nightly drinking habit which is not healthy or normal or where I want to be.

[JackieClaire]

I suppose true moderation is being comfortable with 2 glasses and not scared of where it might lead (just thinking out loud) .

I had my card cloned a while back. Whoever had it topped up their phone, paid for Sky subscription and bought two coats at a specialist shop for larger ladies. The card company rang me as they were unusual transactions ..........obviously not me because it wasn't full of Off Licences. Crikey I can smile now but I the time I was really unhappy and disturbed.

[starty]

Rich had 5000 taken out of his account not so long ago. He was in Spain working and had NO access to any funds as they froze his account. They were great tho, put it back within 12 hours. Very scary

[JackieClaire]

They'd be hard pushed to get 5000 pence out of mine.

I'm sure I read somewhere but most cloned/stolen cards are used within the first hour and then dumped.

[starty]

Oh he didnt have 5k in there, but the stupid bank didnt stop until they got to that amount. 11 transactions in the space of 30 mins and then they thgouth they should do summat

[JackieClaire]

Geez, you'd have thought there were alarm bells going off all over.

Can I ask you a favour. Will you remind me to ring the vet on Monday. Need to get some proper calming pills for Bess. There's fecking fireworks going off already.

Evening...
Not sure what I believe in after death (as per earlier chat - not having a random deep thought here :happy2. Nice to believe that there is an afterlife.

Had the credit card Freud squad contact me too, same as Jacks, unusual transactions. They were on the ball and money refunded immediately.

Oney, I spend years having periods of 'moderating' - 2 drinks on weekdays or whatever the rule was that week and then lash out over the weekend. Made me able to function if I hadn't an excuse to break the rules but the obsession with this meticulous planning would have me driven bonkers - measuring or storing up the 2 drinks until later so I could drink them quickly or having a sneaky one while pouring, which didn't count or a short before, cos they were small.. Or whatever. My head doesn't know itself these days.

Is it possible to get mild food poisoning? Dicky tummy since last night (work lunch on Friday, had chicken) but not enough to to vomit, I was shivery last night.
