Happy burns night Army.. our Scottish friends did a very traditional dinner last year - I was so uneasy going, 6 months dry, but lots of drama so it distracted me!
I loved the haggis Jacks!

Sorry Satz, wont mention the *iX^% word so, thought you were 35 too, a sort of irish twin to you kids :biglaugh:

Good morning and for those in down under land Happy Australia Day.

Honestly Mers, I've had a Burn's Night do for the plain and simple reason of a 'legitimate' reason for getting hammered in the middle of the week.

Off to work at my old building *same service) and working with a woman that's a good laugh.

Morning Army
Nothing much to report
Tabbs you are doing great - proud of you.
I wish young Satz would get that 'lightbulb' moment.
You did t seem to be a bad drunk Tabbs - just like me getting quietly pissed every night.
Young Satz is a binge drinker consumes huge amounts and gets senselessly drunk and does stupid things.

EDIT: before I get burnt at the stake : when I say 'bad' I mean sloppy and dangerous drunk.
Of course all drunk is 'bad'

[abcowboy]

It's hard to say satz and molly, when is bad, bad enough...it's like saying when is rock bottom the rock bottom, can things really get worse?

Hi Army peeps,I went from being a rowdy,trouble making,in jail once drunk- to a couch,crying,listening to music drunk and even though I kinda kept to myself and didn't cause any ruckus the crap that was going on in my head was actually worse for me than my crazy acting days if that makes any sense at all,I think young Satz is still just that...young,its harder for them in a way to get over this cuz they have friends that party,still trying to find themselves, all that crap we all had to go through, I feel for you Satz cuz it is so hard to watch these kids make dumb choices,especially when they grew up seeing how we went through hell

Evening,
Had a lovely morning at the old place. She took me back to basics and re-learnt everything in a calmer way. I was doing it right in the first place but I wasn't hurried. Learning new stuff as well. Its a lot busier than it used to be but not as manic as my normal place.

[JackieClaire]

tho I wonder in the long run would it be easier for the 'bad' drunks to quit - the rest of us who just sat on the couch and 'fell asleep' regularly well it's easy to say and think 'I wasn't that bad' -- maybe when you have left a bit of a trail of destruction it is easier in the long run? just wondering really...

Crikey, Molls............that's a hard one.........playing devil's advocate here..........perhaps when a body is a 'bad' drunk it may be harder because you can see no point in giving up........a sort of...........made your bed and lie in it.......... situation.

Those of us who were passed out on the couch bodies were thinking as we weren't causing any harm to our families ( or we thought we weren't)..........it takes longer for the message to get through.
