Try not to get too fed up....it will all be over next week!;)

As for having a bad day.....I've had a fair few of those lately.....though, oddly enough I don't seem to be getting as wound up as usual or for as long....this can mean two things............either I am starting to become all zen like:cool: ....or the more likely option...I have somewhat snapped and and my mind is off somewhere else.....now that is quite possible:D

Seriously, hope you start to feel better soon X

Read yesterday the average adult will have 137 units Christmas week, going to see if I can spot who has had mine

Must admit, I was a tad shocked at that statistic...how in the hell can anyone drink that and still live???? And they said that obviously some would have more, others less....I think if I drink one bottle of vodka or whatever in a week or more I'm well overdoing it....which I am if we are talking the 'proper' level of units for a week...

I sometimes think I make more of my drinking than I should....plenty of people spill far more than I drink.....but then I think again.....if you think you have a problem with it.....you are right...

What's that in units? About 17/18? I know 70cl of Southern Comfort is 25 units....:o

Well, I for one am glad, as I am sure are you and your family, that you are working at not drinking.....good on you....and I do hope you continue to manage this;) I think you are doing well;)

This is what I meant though about sometimes feeling like I make too much of 'my problem'....When I do drink it will be the one bottle of SC or vodka in the week...I usually drink pretty much half or there abouts in one go.........feel like crap for 3 days...and then finish off the other half....and feel like crap for the rest of the week...when I do leave drinking...the 'desire' for it seems to come back and bite me on the bum pretty much a week to the day from the last binge...kind of like my body has said..right I'm clean now...you want another drink!

Thanks Chris, I've had to swallow my pride today and stupidly thats worse than anything else, I thought I was above that, however, Mr Minstral and Mr Jaffa cake is dealing with that problem and now I only mildly feel like strangling someone.

137 units............ I remember someone coming on here ages ago and I think her OH was drinking 50 ish units on a night, but that is severely severe.

137 units.............. thats about 68 pints of 4% beer isn't it?
So average of around 10 pints per day? I think maybe Al your figures must surely be wrong?

Ooh that's hard to do sometimes....for me it depends if I was in a good mood before...if I was...then it generally doesn't bother me too much...but if Iwas in a crappy mood to start with...OMG! It's the end of the world.......I hate everything/body..and generally want to kill someone/everyone??..sadly...you can't go around doing that! and so it turns on yourself:o I'm trying to stop that...:rolleyes:

I take it you are on about chocolate here.........and these are not references for something else??? I find it works as well! Hey, the police are giving it out now..is it Brighton or Bristol or somewhere...supposed to stop all the scraps!
