Have a bunny instead then :EasterBun

Hasn't ds sussed all your hiding places yet

mich, that choccie bunnie was lovely, i ate it faster than the smiley can!

don't really "hide " the eggs as such anymore mich, just leave them in obvious places, like under his clothes, so he'll find them about tea time when he decides to get dressed, and in the kitchen, he'll venture in there when he gets hungry enough;) ....etc.

took the dog over the racecourse last night, loads of caravaners on there for the easter break.

likely to be kicked off here soon, now ds is up, so if i suddenly disappear, you'll know why.

You'll have to kick him off back

Is it teatime already :rotfl:

gentlepurr

yep, pc is like a permanent party game, musical chairs. he does get kicked off, but then oh and i have a bun fight to get on! toying with the idea of a laptop, but gotta be the right price/spec, and gotta work out if i can afford it, not something you treat yourself to every day, esp when you've just taken a fat mortgage on!

ds now found all eggs, prepare mop and sick bucket..........................

Hi mich

Feeling very down today, all that free beer just staring at me from the kichen.

Its not the inlaws fault for giving me it, they haven't been told about my drinking problem, how can I tell them? How can I tell them they're daughter is living with someone like me?
I don't know what they would do, would they take her away and my little girl too? Its a horrible day and I can't see a way out atm.

This thread hasn't helped you Beer....you are still drinking. You don't know what AA meetings do for the average guy on the street, because you have never been. (and personally I am above average .
I don't think you would die before going to an AA meeting, I think from reading your posts you have too much self preservation for that.

And i re-itterate, that it isn't helping you Beer, it's just making you feel better about being an alcoholic. Please do think hard about getting help, professional help doesn't mean an AA meeting, it can mean one on one cognitive and behavioural therapy.

I would never have had professional help, never, I never will and I never have.

I could not ever go to a AA meeting, its not something I ever would be able to do. I would die before I ever did that.
This thread did for me, what most AA meetings did for the average bloke on the street.
That is wake me up, I was already down and out, ready to face my maker, ready to die.

I'm still ready to die, still close to the edge, still can't see a real reason to carry on. This thread has given me hope, why if it should give me hope, should anyone try to stop it.

Its not perfect, nothing is, but it helps me and others. What more need I say.

lidlest, you were lucky, to some extent. you wanted to stop, and you found your way of stopping.

I am sorry but I have to comment on this, I wasn't lucky, I lost everything. It was damn hard work to face up to that, to finally have nothing and to want to change my life. It was hard and still is hard to go to meetings and say 'I am an alcoholic, i am weak' (ok you dont have to say the weak part). Luck didn't play a part in that at all, I woke up through sheer hard work and determination and help from people qualified to help me.

And I apologise if I am coming across short at all, I am kicking my final addiction...ciggys and I am finding it urm interesting.
