FB is not healthy [MENTION=22456]starty[/MENTION], you are enough :hug: more than enough, your brilliant. Even the addict years are not wasted, they've molded you into the interesting person you are now.
Never got the whole fb thing, the likes and OMg Im so proud of you.. yawn.

SweatPea - now I have to read back and see what terrible offence thing you said, sailed over my head!!

RC - hows the other forum going? early days I suppose, well done you.

Satz, you have a strange likeness to my boy :haha:

That Adrian Chiles prog looks interesting. I worked out that before 2008 I was drinking around 100 units per week. I was horrified and so scared when I worked it out. Thankfully never got back to those levels since but even at less, the mental health impact was substantial.

Awwh thank you Mary. That is a lovely of you to say that. I guess we all need validation and sometimes stupidly we look for it in the places that really do not provide it and also take the easiest route. It is that instant gratification thing. Bit like drinking I suppose. So easy to open FB first thing in the morning and spend too long scrolling through so much shite. Time wasting and not really supportive to the ole mental health.

So, in work we have recently got a new boss, now I essentially have 2 boss'. This guy is quite new, has the gift of the gab but sometimes I think he is like a rabbit in the headlights and is slowly realising what he has taken on. Old boss has gone on holiday for just over 2 weeks and new boss has decided to extend his weekend break for the coming weekend so we will have no bosses in. To me that does not sound like someone who is trying to make a good impression. Wonder how long this one will last .....

Just you take care...........you were away from work an awful long time with your wrist so it'll take a while to get back into the swing.

Re: August Army Manoevres

Christ. I just came in for a landing. I wish I worked in a nice private office where I could check in during the day but it's like a girl's dormitory in a private schoolwhere I work. And they all want to steal and read your diary...
Reading back..

Re: August Army Manoevres

Good afternoon/early evening. Had a good day and have been out for a long walk with MrA and had a lovely lunch in the middle of the afternoon.
Lots of drinking thoughts so keeping myself busy and relaxed at the same time.

Re: August Army Manoevres

Evening troops.

Bad mood.
Pussycat pissed on the carpet.
Again.

:rant:

Admittedly she'd been good the last wee while, but got home to a wiff of pungent pussy piss... The carpet was already wrecked so can't do much about it other than clean, de-odour and cover the offending area with foil (my living room is rimmed with foil - no joke... you'd think i was a heroin addict with the amount of foil and dirty (coffee stained) spoons in my bat cave... :haha:

Just about to head out.
[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION] - other forum is good - certainly good to hear peeps speaking so much of what goes through my own head. But it's hard to follow - we all understand that here: hard to give up AL, maintain abstinence, the monkey brain, the temptations, the fucked up things our minds think to tempt us to a tipple etc. The only thing i'm a little confuddled/bemused by is the fact that here at the army thread there aint many MEN... and this ED forum certainly has male members - but none of them have posted in the last 2-3 months from what I can see (if ever)... so feel like i'm in there with the lassies too... Don't really know what to make of it. It could make me run for the hills, but the sensible part of me says, nah, stay.

Right aff not. Laters -

That's probably true on forums of all sorts, [MENTION=18049]RunningCourage[/MENTION]. I think women and girls are conditioned to talk and express their feelings and unfortunately for boys and men, they're encouraged not to. I'm very impressed by the few men on this site and wonder what about their upbringing enabled them to open up. Even when anonymous, it is hard for most people to be so vulnerable and harder for men than women. I'd be interested in what people think about the differences and whether they are cultural or innate.
