Most of the time I'm happy with my life. It's weird though how important it is for me to be perceived as "successful" - and I feel that for society that's marriage and kids.
Think that's part of my drive to drink. Like the real me - pretty shy, quiet - isn't good enough. Need to drink to be confident/bubbly/put on an act and make out like you're living the perfect life.
Hmmmmm - I need therapy!

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh, I'm struggling tonight. Existential life crisis (keeping on the French theme you see) .

Met someone I used to know, but hadn't seen in years. She's married and pregnant and I'm, well, doing the same old same old.

Finding it all quite depressing - live alone, no partner, no chance of kids as far as I can see, time running out. Any fertility that's likely to last over 40 probably been killed by all the booze I've drunk.

Hmmmm....self-pitying huh?

Could really go a litre of red. But won't - determined not to go out.

Thanks for listening.

Sounds a little similar to my life too GG - so you're not alone in this situation my dear

Failed this evening so 2/3 for me YM & 7 units out of my 125 have slipped down the hatch

Hopefully will be able to hammer the computer into submission by tommorrow :mad:

Must stop tinkering with it

Hello,

I have DD in bed so trapped in house meaning that AF for tonight, that is number three

Until DD starts school full time (she is going to reception class) I am picking her from play group at three which means that I need to drag her with me to my afternoon dog walking job (I do have respectable office job in the mornings :rolleyes:). Today when I was dragging this squeaking thing up the hill and she almost dislocated my thumb with her pulling I was dreaming of a half a litre of sherry. Luckily the rest of the walk went better and I managed to come home and stay here instead of grapping my purse and heading to C00p. She had wet her pants today at play group and just before putting her into the bath had pooped herself as well. Thank goodness house is AF as this is the moment I would savour that first BIG glass. As DD's dad is harrasing me with unrealistic demands of where and how and when he wants to see her and have only paid £250 maintenance over last two years despite living in over £1m property (when I am behind with my rent) and when I left him he had over £50k savings when I was over £30k in debt. :mad: And I have two messages from yesterday in my answerphone which must be from creditors and I have promised myself that I don't need to deal with it until tomorrow afternoon. Which is bad as it gives me plenty of time to nip to the shop. Only BF coming tomorrow (not sure yet) might stop me falling off tomorrow. Sighs...
