No, sorry - I'm a grateful member of Al-anon. I lived with a drinker for a long time.

Do you stay with the group even though no longer with a drinker? I can understand it from my side:o

Feelie is in a fairly unfortunate position with her OH and her family. We've travelled down this route a few times before. She's making good progress, but does need something else, but doesn't feel able to take options yet.

That about right feelie?

summat like that

Yes - we say it's a programme for living. My head soon goes back to it's old "stinking thinking" if I don't get to my meetings. Also, it took me a long time to get where I am so it's going to take me a long time to recover.

Plus I want to give something back

Morning all
Just wanted to let you know I got through last night (only just) so roll on day 16.
I know some of you worry about me (you'll go all guy like and pretend you don't now ) so I just wanted to say goodbye for a little while I may rejoin you when I'm over this bad patch, but right now, I'm feeling like I can't be here, I can't be relying on you guys to keep me sober/alive. I've gotta learn how to get by alone
Thank you to all of you, especially Beer, Al Mac, AC, Jayne, Chris, Lewt and AC.

Hi fg I rely on all your stories to help keep me sober. When i read how tough it is for you all as well, i know i am not the only one. To be alone is not nice and alcoholics it seems always feel alone:) I know i do even tho i am not. Take care and if you need to talk its an open offer.:)

this 'alone' feeling...

its part of the progressing illness.....

'it' wants to get you alone so you will self destruct...... make you feel all alone and worthless... till its got you in its clutches and sends you back to hell....

ive been living with a dark cloud following me this last few weeks....

feels like im going to fall into a big black hole...

i no why i feel this way.... im not facing my fears and going back to old habits........

ive not contacted people.... ive just vegged out and wasted another week...
sitting around wollowing in self pitty and dispare....

but i no wot to do... to gt me out of this miserable state.......

i never new happininess was a choice !!!

you can either wake up a right miserable sod or choose to be happy !!!!
the bloody world could be on fire but its up to you, your attitude to be
joyful or not........

im going to start to do a gratitude list before i go to sleep at night.......
and then it will be there when i awake.... start the day on a positive note xxx

hope everyone is ok xxxxx
