The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread! Part 3

40somethingmum

:think:Hi everyone

just watched the repeat of " Britain's got Talent " cos there was nothing else on . I have been blupping for the past hour . First there was the Grandfather and Grandaughter singing " A whole new world " ... I was a "grandad's girl " so get a bit teary when it comes to grandfathers. Then there was the adorable 10 yr girl sing Alica Keyes followed by the amazing dancing 11 yr old boy. I am now in bits.


Response from my family :

DH:rotfl:

CLASS :T

This morning at 4:50
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another

I love those lines..............

Its a shame they didn't get the fame they deserved, brilliant song writing and a brilliant band. HAPPY DAYS MY FRIEND AND THEN SOME :T xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh and well done on sticking to the Lime and fizzy water :T You wouldn't want to be:

Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's something missing
I'd beg for some forgiveness
But begging's not my business
And she won't write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption
I'm really up the junction

So give Mrs Bhb a big hug and let her know just what a special lady she is

Budgie promises now no more Squeeze ................

Brillant Budgie,

DH a squeeze fan .This is by far my favourite.

Welcome Glitz and Shirley- in safe hands here- we have a waggon train and we never let anyone fall off and not get back on again, even if they are a little worst for wear. No judgement, no guilt, just a bunch of nice people trying to support each other to get to where they want to be with regards to alcohol consumption- as you can see trying to distract yourself from the alcohol bells can involve some quite bizarre hobbies and extreme measures, and lots of dancing around the living room (this IS therapy- many people think they can't dance unless they are drunk, and it gives them a huge boost when they can- albeit in the privacy of their own home.

You ask why do we drink? Well I don't know the answer to that- for some of us its a release from the pressures of everyday life, for some of us there seems to be a genetic vulnerability, some of us just like it and there isn't a deep or meaningful reason, some people are trying to deal with work related stress or a traumatic event, some people are bored or lonely. I suppose there are as many reasons to drink as there are drinkers and we'll never get to the bottom of it- but we can manage it, it takes guts and courage and willpower but we can.

BHB- squeeze eh?- when I lived in Bridgwater some years ago the saxophone player owned my local, a pub called the Duke of Wellington, and up the road near Burnham, the Blues Bar was owned by a member of the Stranglers- anyone else met any famous people or have any connections?

I often think of the chaos us lot would cause if we were all still full on drinkers and went for a night out- christ, can you imagine the carnage??!!!

My DH used to play darts with David Coverdales mum( Deep Purple, Whitesnake) . I was at school with the late Billy Mckenzie's sister ( The Associates). . I also swapped a badge with the drummer of " the Boomtown rats" when I was 15. He gave me a silver rat badge - god only knows what badge I gave him. Perhaps he still treasures it :rotfl::rotfl:. He said I was gorgeous . Wouldn't say so now:o:o
