Hope you have a lovely day - all good and content here:l Re. your mums hearing aid --- I loved the little bit in Captain Corelli's Mandolin when the old lad got a pea put back in his ear by the doc. cos he'd had so much peace when it was in and he couldn't hear his wife:H

I forgot about that! LOL! Would certainly come in handy when DH drones on about politics and guitar-making. DH has a problem with speaking his every thought, and in excruciating DETAIL. Sometimes I cross my eyes, and drool out of the side of my mouth to let him know I'm bored beyond tears! It never stops him.:H

Oh, God, he just got up--- he couldn't sleep b/c he's obsessing about this guitar thingy/jig he's trying to figure out as he's in the process of building another guitar. (Please go back to bed, or bring me a piece of expensive jewelry wrapped in a lovely box!) Nah, won't happen; spending too much $$ on guitar tops, sides and backs....you don't want to know......

G, hope you are okay. Thanks for posting to my thread, appreciate your support. I managed to get through today but it was awful, it makes me wonder why I treat myself like that. Hope you are okay, and thanks again. And Hi Juja, Freefly and molly:l

Hi Halo,

Good to see you.

I'm good thanks, and looking forward to my day. For me, alcohol abuse was also self abuse. Couldn't put my finger on exactly why, and no past issues i can identify really. Probably just my alky 'wiring' that likes to numb the senses. This is a serious waste of my time and potential, and a crime really. A crime as in, i think there's a lot of truth in the saying that if a person has a talent for something, or something to offer the world, the universe, they must find it and share. And we all have something special to share i believe.

What's your strategy/plan from here?

I agree with you, it's all such a waste. I am phoning the Doctor tomorrow, finally going to admit to someone that I have a problem. The shakes aren't as bad, so hopefully will make it to work put my game face on and face up to the consequences.

I am also going to go for counselling. I really want my life back, today was horrible. Thanks again

Contrary to the prevailing mantra, not all of us have a talent to share. Some human beings are plain, old mediocre. I'm serious, and having a talent is over-hyped, e.g., moi. Believe me, I know.

Hi y'all,

Hey Spud you malaka you! How are you?

Juja, you party pooper. I truly believe you have something very special about you to share, and i bet you have over the years.

Hey Satz. Welcome and good to see you. I just answered the p.m. you sent me, but it appears you may be offline. Often a doctor is a good first stop to talk about what you want to do, and how you are going to tackle it together. Can you do this? Keep in touch, okay?

Marvellous day at the beach today you freezing northeners. hehe. Nice run and swim. Not sure what i'm doing for NYE. My cars stuffed, so i'm hesitant to go somewhere where i can't exit exactly when i want to. Taxi's will be impossible, and i don't expect folk to drop everything and leave a party when i do. May have a quiet, reflective one, and that's okay. What's everyone up to on the night?

Thanks for your beautiful post. Don't worry. I'm okay, and all cool here. No relapse or slip, just a concious crack at moderating the last few months. And i had unfinished business with booze that i had to resolve and re- explore. And glad i went there. Nice buzz for an hour or 2, but what then? I don't want 2/3 drinks, i want to keep drinking when i get home. 1 or 2 drinks is crap, give me the bottle! This is the equation i have weighed up. So, i have a choice. No choice re my addiction, but a choice in how i tackle it. For me, after 2.5 yrs of sobriety of late, i've chosen the alcohol free path, and i thought it might be of benefit to share my recent experiences here.

How are you going?

All contributions welcome.

Thanks G for the private advice. I will go public here now to get any advice on offer. Can you share your plan with me Gary - I will follow to the letter as you seem to have it nailed :thanks:
