Great posts Pauly (although lack of sleep is awful) and yes, it is embarrassing to post sometimes – about relapses or just general mucky feelings. Not everyone can open up or wants to – we are all different that way. But it seems to help a lot of folk. Its like when you have a big blow-up at home (not that I ever do –:eek-new: haha – pigs flying in droves around my head at that comment) and then you say ‘well I wish you had told me how you feel’ etc etc. Because often the blow-up is much worse than the original gripe. Same goes with relapse I think – its much worse than the stuff building up.
I don’t know if I told you guys – but last week I heard from a friend who lives overseas. She visited last year and we talked about my drinking probs and getting sober – and then she opened up about her probs with AL. So I said a few low-key things and later gave her my old copy of the Jason Vale book. I know it's simplistic and annoying but she said she read it and that since Christmas she has not had a drink – and thanked me. And I have told her I am there if she needs me.
Gidday Molly!!!!!!
Well I hope you have survived the onslaught Lav. PPQP – your visit to your Dad sounds amusing but fun.
Mick – soon you will dreaming about your upcoming holiday. Do you book through an agent or do it on-line?
Narilly – how did the evening with the neighbours go?
Hope all is well for others – Pie, SF, Det and Sam.
SL – usually you post later in the day so I hope your Sunday went OK.
I better get into my work – one of the things about working from home is keeping a routine.
Have a great week and Monday, folks !
