Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Can't see the attachment, Satz.

We had Jenny and her new man drop by the cottage for a bit of late lunch...........quick I know but got me thinking to when I met Mr JC just three months after the end of a hideous relationship.........and we're still here nigh on 35/36 years so I'm saying nothing.

The cottage's conservatory is big enough for a table and settee.........so we sat in there. I went to get some butter came back tripping over the teeny weeny step into it and managed the most spectacular fall with a half spin so I land on my front and at his feet still with the butter clutched in my hand and good grief the left hand side of my body hurts like fuck. I have now earned the nickname of the spectacular flying mammy.

Get back to the docs, Starteroo, please.

Molls, time to show your face. You're missed.

Arsey, pet. Time to have another go at taking stock of why you're drinking, what good it does you, etc, etc Yep life not drinking is different but its a very enjoyable kind of different and tbh life extending.

Massive congratulations Mary, you are an inspiration. Deliberately did not count on this quit as I was sick of having day 1’s but seeing this is making me reconsider. Wave to everyone else, just in from work so need food 🥘

Just to say a quite belated Woot Woot to you Mary - 1000 days is no mean feat. :balloons::congrats:

Back at school. Day 2 done. And back to feeling naturally tired at 9pm as opposed to any other way of being tired!

JC - thanks for your thoughts. Hmmm... wondering if i really, really want to make this work, bigger changes are needed in the sober world. Not big as in "change job/house/divorce the cat" but change within.

Somethings to meditate on...

Off to read in my pit. Hope yis have had a mellow monday.

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Ah thanks y'all...
I am delighted. Your right [MENTION=15758]rustop59[/MENTION] about counting, but you are so far away for day 1 now, your safe to start celebrating the round ones! Plus, you get pretty good cake from JC, even when shes on hollidays
Molly, it is my 1000 birthday... come back here :rant:
[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION], glad you thought I could do it! 1003 days ago, I felt very lost and lonely, if Im honest. I have a close family, but no one would really get this. Im not the only one in my family to come out the other side, but it was a big learning curve for my clan at the time. As I wasnt at the point of morning drinking, 'just cut back' would have been the advice all around. I was ashamed and embarrassed too. Anyway, I digress...
My point is, I had lost all confidence in myself, until I mustered the nerve to post. And OMG (as my kids say).. the response and support was just amazing. I couldn't not do it! (yiz actually all bullied me into it :biglaugh
Can't thank everyone enough xxx

Countdown is on now missus! [MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION]

Congratulations Mary! Wonderful achievement and you have done it with such grace.

Yep that feeling of being lost and alone is real and it is very debilitating but once the brain settles it passes. We all have to remember that. Everything passes with time even when it feels like we are standing still.

I have ordered some 5HTP to see if it helps my depression and sleep. Never used it before as I have always been on anti depressants and you cant take both. Hoping it helps

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Just a very quick one.
Whatever it takes, Starty, pet.
