Army..Christmas is coming....

[JackieClaire]

Not quite the same category I know, but addiction is addiction, or is that naive?

Nothing naive in that,love. Its an opinion shared by many including me.

I'm going to crawl in the direction of the settee my likkle legs are tired. This new place I'm working at is a bugger to get to.......its all up hill.

Looks like Dinternet is down.. So good night JC on the couch and anyone else that pops in. And Molly, enjoy the lovely quite pavilions tomorrow, I'll send you my list!

Night x

[satz123]

All gone to bed ?
Mary I recognize that panic of events coming up over the next 3 weeks and how you'll cope.
Just be selfish and choose the battles you are prepared to fight - the rest tell them all to 'eff off.
Even after all this time sober New Year's Eve is a challenge.
Mr S always wants to 'do' something - FFS...... but he won't book anywhere.
- and then the night arrives - this will no doubt involve sitting in a noisy pub looking at one another. He'll have pints and get all jolly & and get into all the SHIT that goes with that night :very_drunk:
I've told him he's on his own - if there's no food - I ain't going

Morning guys Yes I agree that addiction is addiction. That obsession of thinking our happiness is in a substance. The cravings that increase with circumstance e.g Christmas. In my case cos I have been feeling ill for a while it is that notion that if I take something (booze or pills) I will feel better. Yesterday was tough, Mr S had a glass of wine on the go when I got home from a stressful day. I sat and smelled it and for a moment imagined myself taking a big glug when he wasn't looking. Then my thoughts ran to "who are you kidding if you think one glug will soothe you" Then the rest of the horror story was able to play through my mind of where it would end. It didn't make me feel any better but at least it stopped me taking that first mouthful.

Morning Molls. Did you sort out the hairdresser?

[starty]

Wow!!! Bet you look amazing!!

[starty]

Pretty much the same. Walking the dogs is giant feat of endurance at the mo

[starty]

Haven't got the test results yet. Hopefully tomorrow. But there is no pain so I don't reckon it is. Prolly just a nasty bug.

[starty]

And I must away to the workhouse. See you later xx

[GlitzyB]

Morning army oh your hair sounds lovely Molly. Starty is hubby supportive and does he know of your pill addiction as well as booze? Just had coffee and having wholemeal toast with banana.

[starty]

Just quickly before I go. I am soooooo grateful not to be watching in my mirror to see if a police car is following me and worrying about being stopped.

[starty]

Hi Glitzy, yes, he is supportive but he doesn't know about the pills. Your brekkie is very healthy

[JackieClaire]

Good morning coughers, breakfasters, dayoffers and all those yet to drop by.

Had to sleep on the settee most of the night as poor Bess had a bit of tummy problems. She's fine now. Not made any easier by the fact every time I did drop off I got cramp in one leg or t'other.

But the hairdresser is coming and I'm not a work .........so a bit of snoozing can be done.

[IamMary]

Nice words Molly - although my head is too frantic at the moment to appreciate it! Bloody work -off friday, back in monday, then THATS IT, horray!

Satz, hate going out on new years, thankfully MrM the same, but like Mr Starts, MrM might have a glass or 2 of a night. Last night I noticed a bottle of baileys in the fridge, FFS!!! I know its Christmas, and I may as well get used it, but I think I'll hold on to that YOUARENOTGOINGTOBRINGMEDOWN shield for a while more.

Just quickly before I go. I am soooooo grateful not to be watching in my mirror to see if a police car is following me and worrying about being stopped.

Great feeling Starty! I used to go back roads on the mornings I was a bit shaky. What a horrible way to live.:flowerspin:

Morning Jacks and Glitzy.. full report on the beautifulness on your head please..

[starty]

Grrrr, its amazing the amount of folk that tell me to have a hot toddy for my cough
