Hi JC, up and away without the coffee this morning. Went on big long hike and just back. Very quiet in the barracks today. Wonder if they all gone shopping!

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

Evening,
No shopping [MENTION=15758]rustop59[/MENTION]! Will try to do a bit online this week. youngest is looking for an 'out of stock' sylvanians restaurants.. shes adamant Santa can make it. Feckidy feck feck.

I'm not sure what to think about people that say things like I'm giving up for ???? days or months.....why don't they try controlling their drinking that would open their eyes.....it annoys the feck out of me the charity no drinking months treating the beggars that do stop for that month as heroes.....grrrrrrrr.........sure its raising money for charity, but why don't they get off there arses and help at a food bank, or a charity shop, animal sanctuary for a month.
.

Oh it annoys me too JC, even the non charity ones. Probably because they go on and on about how great they are NOT drinking and a bit because they can go on and off it, something I couldn't do.
But it only mild passing thought, same way as Im envious as someone 2 inches taller or someone who can hold a note!

Night Army X

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

Evening folks, late check in and haven't been here much this week. Just having one of those periods the past couple of weeks when it is one thing after another of hassles, stuff life throws at us. Time was when my default setting of quickly hiding in a bottle would have been the first course of action. It amazes me these days how clearly I can see what a stupid idea that was, did I never really stop to think or was it more a case of couldn't/didn't want to play it forward? Probably the latter if truth be told. Anyway that was the past, thank dog not the present.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

Morning,
Better as in proper better or getting around a bit, Molls. The more I hear about Morocco the more I have to/need to go. Yet to hear a bad word about it. Told the guy in the O2 shop about a friend being there (meaning you,Molls) and he waxed lyrical for 10 minutes.

Mr JC's got a stinker of a cold but soldiered into work with a bag of satsumas and a tin of soup.

Up 'til yon time last night or early this morning.........looking for at charity funding. We need about 25K to stay open for another year come April. Word is getting out and bookings are up.......it would be a damned shame to have to close.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

Hiyiz all

Sorry been AWOL...... Like you Tabbers it's been one hassle after another. Been proper in bed sick- hate being really sick. Went back to work end of week and ended up dealing with a mentally unstable relative who left me terrified and questioning whether I can do this job anymore- it's just too much sometimes not being able to tell someone to wise up, catch a grip and F off. Instead we have to smile, apologise and apologise some more!!!! Fed up with that shit!
Have also had a very sore mouth which I thought was down to my dodgy jaw joint- but no let up in pain so got emergency dental appointment for Wednesday morn when off work again. Have myself worried sick that it is something serious

Sorry to be missing then turn up here just to moan x Miserable git I am at mo.

Hope you are all keeping good and well x

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

Evening all, I hear you Sweetpea but ya know what, I find this whole not drinking lark much easier when I check in regularly, even when I have little of note to say (oi I heard that!)
Maybe it's my personal accountability plus the support and understanding should I need to talk as it were.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

hey youse..
definitely checking in keeps me grounded Tabbers. Its my nightly ritual, to be reminded that it was one of my better decisions to take the plunge. Mostly I dont need reminders, but sometimes I do, and its nearly crimbo, booze is fecking everywhere so Im not taking any chances!

Poor you [MENTION=18312]sweetpea29[/MENTION] When the chips are down, everything is harder. This will pass and you will be back in control before you know it. The dentist too.. thats totally shite, feeling your pain though, had a load of problems with a tooth this year.
I think you should buy yourself a pressie. Any ideas?

[JackieClaire]

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

[MENTION=18312]sweetpea29[/MENTION]...........I feel your pain. I'm at the dentist again in the morning.........just a teeny tiny filling and a checkup........but always think he's going to find something else. I'd give you the same advice I gave to Mers and suggest you take a few days off but I'll bet you'd feel guilty as hell.

Might sound daft but try resting a tyrozet on your tooth. It has antiseptic and anaesthetic qualities.

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION]......ooh a spoil yourself gift's a good idea............highly reccommend boots. I'm spoiling myself this Fever Tree Ginger beer.

[MENTION=21798]Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)[/MENTION]............we always listen

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

Morning all and hugs to everyone going through life’s ups and downs. I too like to check in here every day, keeps me grounded. Forgot to set alarm last night so doggies not getting their hour walk before I go to work. Ah well maybe I needed that extra hours sleep. At least I woke in time for work. That’s my little treat to myself :heartbeat:

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

Morning lovelies,
Up early for the dentist or should I say up early so I can get a lift to the dentist. Will have a wander round the high street and perhaps have a coffee.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-November 2017

Morning, Army Friends Across the Pond!

Thank you all for your support re: my client being abusive towards me and then physically confronting his employee. An update: I just learned that this employee, a gentleman in his 60s...suffered a massive heart attack two days later. I think my client's ass is grass. Good. I think he makes about $500,000 USD per year.

Helloooo to everyone and Happy Sober Tuesday!

Bless your heart, missus :hug: You know where I am.

Waves to Rustop and Rusty.

Just back from the dentist........don't need a filling on the tooth. its just a wee chip that he sanded down .....wish I knew what the actual word is but tbh wasn't listening. Had some x-rays done and he needs another poke about in one of my front toofers .......could be good news , could be bad.........we'll see......next appointment next Tuesday.
