I am day three AF and dont really mind it at all. In fact I love it and will do my best to stay on track. I am not great at getting around the site but read a story yesterday about the swimming pool that i really identified with so thanks for that. I was a champion swimmer in my day so remember the struggle to get up and down the pool. I will remember that today....
I also read a quote where the doctor told the guy that the answer to his drink problem was to give it up. I remember years ago, my mother who is now deceased saying that when she heard of a friend of my brother's who had a drink problem. There is a solution she said, he can give it up. I thought at the time she was talking rubbish but now I see that she was right. Its funny how how mothers change as we get older. Or i suppose the truth is that we do. Oscar Wilde said that when he left home at 17 he could not understand how little his parents knew about anything but that when he came back at 22 he was amazed at how much they had learned. I think this is true for me. My mother was an amazing woman and i was lucky enought to realise that about 12 years ago when my marriage ended. She had a innate sense of reality and while she did not show the traditional lovey stuff much of the time she did a great job with us all. I know people have difficulties with their parents but I just want to say that I got over those difficulties with the help of a great counsellor and had a wonderful time with her until she died - as she lived - on her holidays at 82. Another story but will tell it you as it is inspiring.
She is watching me now and I think she actually told me at the weekend to get this sorted out . I better obey her or god knows what could happen.
I have found the past couple of days wonderful with all the support and am now ready for what adventures and laughs this day will bring. I am sure I will get the heeby jeebies when my cousin calls to meet him for a drink, but that is for later.
Hope all is well with everyone.
