    im off to share at an NA meeting tonight, speak for about half hour, should be ok i think i know most people in the fellowship over that wasy, the last time i was at that meering was the day after i come out of tratment.

    wish me luck..... i get scared when there's real old timers there it makes me feel their judging my prgram or summit.

    then i also get scared when its time for people to feedback to me....

    they are no better & no worse but the same as you...

    they are one hit from being a user

    they are one drink away from being a drunk..........

    Best of luck lewt. I always feel that my story isn`t "good enough" and I can`t make people laugh like some of the others do etc etc. It`s not just at the meets - it`s at everything else too. The drinking used to mask these feelings until it stopped working.

    Suffolk i think you have summed up succinctly most drinkers reason for needing a drink, and also wanting to stop. Thankyou.

    I have had a very challenging week so far. Thanks for your support.

    On the positive side, I have had lots of opportunities to work my programme.

    Having said that, I'm now going to stick my head under the duvet.

    Night all
    That's life, it's just the way it is :)

    Yeah, well, I'd never have said that :D


    Morning everyone, I had a terrible night, but still going. I'm so fed up this morning, everything seems to be going wrong........ OK not everything, it just feels like that. But some things.
    Everytime I think to myself, why can't life be simpler, I think of this. How many moves can you make in chess, millions probably, imagine each degree of your life is a chess board, how many moves does that make? Enough to give everyone and everything a life of their own and still give space for strange things to happen.
    Its got to be exciting hasn't it?
