HI everybody ! I woke up about an hour ago from a rather long nap !! I will not have another drink so when I sleep tonight it will be as if there is no AL in my body - which will be good practice for Monday!! And I have decided not to get any Guinness for tomorrow either - my usual tipple - I will have some Kahlua and milk instead - will not have as much as I would have had the Guinness. In fact, after my long nap and wasted half day today I half thought about starting my AB tomorrow, but will think about it.
Hi stuck - good to see you. No, no pubs near us - closest one is a few miles away and I would not go in it anyway !! Not like UK pubs at all!!!! I have always done my drinking at home. Laughed at you and living near one - AND your vision of the boat with the bikin clad housewives - LOL !! Between you and Space, I had a real vision in my head !! :H:H And no apologies needed - ha ha ha !
Oh Teezah - I remember people rubbing whiskey on babies gums !! Or putting some on their dummies !! No wonder most people over there drink!
Space thank you for your comment about me and my weight - no, I am not worried about it, you are right - and yes, I am most definitely going to get some more muscle !! LOL. And as for being a bad friend to Play and me - don't be silly - you have been through a really hard time and I am just happy you are back with us. THAT means more to me than anything. So as for anything you can do for me - it is just to keep posting !!!
I would not worry right now about the weight either - as you said, don't have one more worry - things are beginning to sort themselves out for you. I agree with Teezah - about trying to sort it out - about having more energy years ago and feeling diferently - but that was when you were drinking wasn't it? And you conveniently forget the hungover mornings and the wasted evenings when you didn't do anything as you were drinking. I do think it is a good idea to write things out - sometimes it helps us work stuff out so as teezah said - keep typing. Play is good at sorting stuff like that out - maybe she can come up with something. I am curious to see how I feel when I am AF as when I went AF for 8 months, I felt quite flat most of that time !! And once I started drinking again it was as if my - as you put it - zest for life - came back. SO - I will also have to do some searching of my own. The drinking just takes up too much of my time - even though I don't get drunk or have hangovers, it does take up my time and my energy! Like today - I had my drinks then a sandwich and promptly fell asleep. wasted two hours !! Between the drinking and the nap, I have wasted about 4 or so hours of today. I feel fine now and am drinking water and won't drink any more and feel as if I haven't even had a drink!
Oh Space - I can't remember when now that someone mentioned that we were not talking about Topa or even who it was - it matters not - it irked me 'cos I felt that we are here if someone does need help! And I love this thread..... and teezah found us and Meggie found us - so people will ask if they need something and then they join our happy family !!!:H
Play - you are right - I don't live near much of anything !! Lots of churches, schools and a couple of parks. Yes, lots of folk have come and gone on this thead haven't they? It is interesting to read back and see them.....
HI Houtx - Bye Houtx - LOL !!! I have never met anyone who loses their posts like you do !!!! You really need to learn to cut and paste seeing as always lose your posts !!
Play - I agree with stuff coming up when one is off the AL. also we will have to fill our time - right now I feel stone cold sober. Usually I would get another Guinness and then probably carry on on the computer or watch something silly on TV - but after I finish this I was thinking "what shall I do?" And because I AM sober, it is so different. it is 6.20 in the evening - I don't want to watch TV - it is too early to go to bed. I think I shall do some of our studying. which I wouldn't do if I had had a drink. I am obviously going to have to plan ahead so I have things to fill my time. Strange how I never had to think of something to do when i was drinking. Hhmmmm - really an odd thought.
Teezah - I am glad that the Modalert is helping you with the tired feeling from the topa - eventually that will go away, or I found it did as your body gets used to it. I never did try anything as it always used to go away fairly fast for me. if you don't sleep well tonight, maybe you could take the Modalert at a different time or break it in 3/4 or something? I am going to check it out but doubt that I will take it as I am really lucky in having lots of energy. But it does sound good for counteracting that SE of Topa.
Why did you come off your AD's last August? I had a real mess up with mine last year - too long and boring to go into again (for the others here that know) but they have never worked the same since. Had you been on them long?
I am so happy that you are here with us by the way!!
Anyway - Diz - we need to hear from you sometime... where are you please? and ally - hope everything is going well, I know that your dad is visiting but a quick pop in to say hi and let us know you are okay would be great!
I need to get going before you are all asleep reading this ! love and hugs to you,
Sun XXX
