Please advise
My memory is pretty shot, but I'm forgetful and a ditzy cow at the best of times so it's difficult to know how much is down to abuse and how much is just me (long before I started drinking, apparen...

Hi there Dennis-could not agree with you more-ever where I go in this city there is drink- But then again I am finding lately that more and more people ( a significant majority) are turning their backs on drink and the Irish 'pub culture' (culture...
Hey Dale,
Congratulations on the phenomenal number of days. Know what it's like struggling financially. Probably just having a quiet Christmas, me and my little girl, in Glasgow this year. Fortunately at 4 she still seems happy with simple things...
When I first got sober, a friend told my parents that they should drink like they normally would and that it was my issue to deal with. She said I had to "learn to live sober in a world awash in alcohol." Gloria was right. I now live in Dublin whi...
That balance is so difficult to find isn't it, between not wanting or letting addiction and recovery to consume your every thought and action, but thinking about it enough to deal with everything it throws at you? Folk on here who've been sober fo...
So glad for you Dana that you dealt with things the way you did. I know what a huge thing it is going to the doc when you're feeling that way. That moment when you sit down and they sit back in their chair and ask, "so, how are things with you?" w...

sad but good
Bit of a down day today. My relationship of two years has ended finally. Sad cause he is a lovely man in so many ways, but after my drinking again a couple of weeks back, I came to realise that I was using him as my main excuse to relapse and drink, cause I knew he was waiting for it and I knew he would be the last person to judge or even comment.
Final of many straws was a night where he was meant to come round at about 7 and eventually appeared many hours later from the pub, saying that he ju… Continue

- Hi fran just picked up your comments now- I am good and I find it really wierd since I put my photo up-just makes the whole thing feel more real. Don't be to hung about your boss- I used to be afraid of people 'above' me, but came to believe that they are only skin and bone just like you and me. WE in fact are now in a far stronger position because of the huge learning curve that we have been forced to go through- That which does not destroy me shall make me stronger!

- Thanks for your comments Fran. Anything that you can put in your bag that helps is great, IMO.
I hope you like Tate's book. It can be a little dry and formulaic but I found the general concept to work well for me.
DDMNW,
Bart

adorabelle said… - Hey lovely, Thank You so much for your comment on my pic :o) I wanted a new photo as I've lost 3 stone in weight since giving up the booze!!! Also been eating healthily & going to the gym so that's helped with getting rid of all that excess 'Booze Weight'
I love being in my pj's :) Nothing nicer than reading all the paper's online with a nice cup of tea whilst being in bed! I'm 150 days sober on Thursday, can't quite believe it to be honest. How are you doing? Have you struggled badly at all, I know I've had some shakey moment's these past few months. Life is so much better without all the shite drinking brings with it though, it's quiet & calm & I never have to worry the morning after the night before worrying what I may have said & done.
Take Care Fran, Hayley xxx
