  • I am trying to convince myself I am feeling ok at the moment, but I am REALLY craving a drink like billio.

    Feeling irritable and fed up and I WANT A DRINK!!! :eek: :eek:

    We have no drink in the house (good job) and I will not go out of the door tonight, so I will just have to feel like poo until it passes. Feeling like this came on in about 5 minutes. Hope it goes again as quickly.

    The bells, the bells........ all I need now is Esmerelda :rotfl: :rotfl:

    GRRRR. Not 'appy.

    Nothign worng with Arsenal mate. May i ask who you support? (I'm thinking Spurs)

    Wash your mouth out :D

    I live in Kent so it can only be Man Utd :T :D . Since 1973 I may add. No glory supporter here ;).

    My first ever live game was Arsenal/ Utd. We lost 3 - 1 :rolleyes: About 1976 I think. Miss the old Clock end. Dont go much now due to cost and family commitments.

    Good luck for the game tonight

    Hang on in there, Caz.

    Ok, as encouragement goes, that's pretty pathetic! :( I'm sorry, trying to think of other good things to say that don't sound patronising or pathetic.

    I'll go & hunt for an Esmerelda instead...

  • YM - I thought only people in Surrey or the far east supported man utd?! I'll give it 6 months until your a die hard Man City fan:rotfl:. Cheers pal, i'm sure we'll get a decent result tonight :j

    Cazza - Just try and remind yourself of the reasons you are trying not to drink. Failing that i find that eating something normally negates my cravings.

    Good luck all on staying AF tonight.

  • thanks everyone,

    My OH has just come in and has bought some more full fat coke, so I'm scoffing a couple of glasses of that.

    Hope it works!

    Hugs

  • Hi all. Just a quick one from me inspired by Tangochick's amazing posts. I spent yesterday afternoon at the funeral of a good friend who died suddenly of alcoholic liver disease last week at 51. Have the mother of all hangovers today (I know, I know, but it was inevitable) and am seriously reconsidering whether I am a cutter-downer or a cutter-outer. Might rejoin the challenge for September although you'd have thought seeing the pain of his family and friends yesterday should be motivating enough.

    Day 1 today.

    Went to doctors today to tell him about my itchy skin. He sent me for a blood test to test thyroid, liver and kidneys. Ive convinced myself that its my liver. Am upset and want a drink now.:rolleyes:

    I'll get the result on Friday, so we'll see.
