    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

    Hi Patrice.

    Here, lemon lime and bitters contains a small percentage of alcohol. Not sure if you knew that, or if that would worry you. Wishing you a great night.

    Take care y'all.
    Remember that old series/sitcom CHEERS from the States? The main character, Sam Malone was an ex baseball player and Alcoholic who owned that bar where the series took place...I always wondered about that choice of venue...

    Just made me think of it Mr G. When you mentioned your own Workplace setting. It didn't seem to bother him either..

    Have a wonderful, sunny and exciting day everyone,

      Hi Kradle,

      Yep, i remember that show. I didn't know main character (was he the tall guy, actor Ted Danson, i think?) an alcoholic. So you mean he had given up the booze, but then opened a bar? Does sound a strange choice, but I can understand that a little, as for me, once i have it in my mind that i don't want to drink anymore, and i have truly decided, there is no more stress, or mental battle. So it doesn't worry me at all, working around booze and drinkers. In fact, i really like clubs and bars, except when folk start slurring their speech and getting drunk, which is often towards the end of my gig and not so bad, so i chat for a bit, look for a respectful smooth and speedy way out of the convo lol, then leave.

      How are you going there?

        Hi All,
        Sunday here, hangover free
        G - here there is no alcohol in soda, lemon and lime. Were you thinking of that Bundaberg pre mixed stuff?

        I didn't end up going out last night. I knew 100% that I wouldn't drink Al if I stayed at home... Going out to a party at this stage, I wasn't 100/% sure I wouldn't drink... So... I wanted to not to not drink more than I wanted to go out. Choice made

        Have a great day everyone
        Patrice

            Great stuff Patrice. Plenty of time for parties later when we're on firmer ground. :goodjob:

                  Thanks Lass!

                  Yes, it is the morning of the 9th here, and gig later today. I'm not expecting anything romantically really, but anything can happen when we put one foot in front of the other, and step out the door.

                  Have a beaut day sunday. Take care of yourself.

                          Hi y'all,

                          An enjoyable gig had, but no sign of Spinach woman! Probably a good thing as there wasn't any broccolli on today's menu. However, all is not lost. I have a friday and saturday night gig next weekend, so she may attend one of those.

                          Hope everyone's weekend is going great.

                          L8tr, Yo!

                            G,

                            Without reading back too far, I glean there is an interesting woman who has attended one or more of your gigs?

                            Fingers crossed that you connect and find a good friend/relationship!!!

                            Hi to all on this thread. First visit here but, I too, am an older drunk. (In many more ways than G...)

                              Hiya Cindi!

                              Well, i don't think you are a drunk. I think you are an exceptional, caring, and heroic person, who is taking her precious life back. I look on at your battles and achievements in amazement, and with great admiration. Great to see you.

                                Dear G - signed on for some good news, but sorry "she" was not there! We will wait for next weekend...
                                I really need my anonymous friends - so beware, I have to let go here - and sorry in anticipation.
                                Those who have got to know me are aware that I am going thru a divorce, mainly due to HUGE financial difficulties (looking at being homeless and tax reprecussions).
                                I have been working very hard at sorting life out and was staring to make great inroads - that was until this weekend, sadly same weekend as my oldest had a birthday.
                                I thought our divorce was almost final (I need this to be able to move forward) but some paper work was not turned in and now we are looking at Jan 2013. Not huge, but I do want to put that part of my life in perspective and move forward.
                                As my husband was self employed, I bought our home - so it is all in my name, for almost 2 years we have been trying to short sell to have it done - during this time, I left as I could not bear to be there - so "he" has been living free - after many go arounds it looks as if we have approval on the short sell, but the realtor went in and said it looks horrible inside and she will be amazed if the appraisal and inspections go thru.
                                So it looks as if I am being screwed over and over again.....sorry for the pity party, but I really need something to start to go right - I am not a bad person, just made some really bad choices - I do hope the girls will not be negatively impacted by my decisions.
                                And really sadly as it is something I can control, the wine won this weekend - and suprise, suprise IT DID NOT HELP!!!!!! how many times do I have to learn this lesson??????
                                Sad, fed up, lonely and really let down - in Nor CA
                                Tomorrow will be day 1 again, but i am still on track to have a better Sept than Aug, so will still win.....yeah???
