I hope it goes okay - and I'm not speaking against Al-Anon - not at all - obviously I've never been to one - but my one worry would be that most of them are going to be every bit as damaged by alcoholics as the alcoholics themselves - and are far from experts - I get it going to one of their meetings for support - but advice could be very skewed.... maybe I'm really really wrong saying that. and as I say it's from a position of complete ignorance:hug::hug:

I do know a lass who's father prefers actual AA meetings to Al-Anon................he calls them a bunch of whingers.............it'll be a case like AA take what you need and leave the rest.

Happy birthday Whizzy - hope you'd a lovely posh meal -
yes Jackie - you're right - I s'pose my reticence about Al-Anon is somewhat routed in Aftercare - it often took the partners the 2 years to 'get in the programme' as much as the addicts themselves, so I just imagine that a bunch of untreated people letting rip... I dunno - could be unsettling - that's all I meant really

Ahh Molls, I knew what you meant. I'll bet there's a bit of my addict is more addicted and worse than your addict.

LURVE pork belly -- think it's my favouritest food at the moment... and as for printers..... I have about 5 - all in a printer mountain... NONE of them work -- and everytime I see printers for sale and suggest buying one - the family raise up as one --- 'STEP AWAY FROM THE PRINTERS MUM!!' -- yeah I ain't great with them!!! Glad you had a nice time

Oh it's a minefield that alright Jacks - anyway - must away towards the bed - yawning like a good thing xx

Nighty night ,pet. Don't dream of printers.............there's a correlation of how urgent the printing job is to how soon you need it.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Hi troops
Well back on day 1 again after proving my shrink right and also what I knew all along but kept telling myself was BS... I tried to moderate to appease Mrs T but it was never gonna work was it! I've had to make another major change to help my sobriety and have moved out and I'm staying with a (tee total) friend. Being day 1 and in a new town, I can't arrange any support meds until tomorrow so we've just made plans for a nice walk with my friend's dog then an AF lunch and we'll see where we get from there.

Will have to go home at some point in next few days to collect some things and my Dog but that can wait... job search now in full swing as I've moved about 60 miles to a large place...God knows how I'm gonna get through today... 1 hour at a time fornow...missed you all! Tony
