    Depressed because you need a drink, or depressed and now you need a drink?

    I'd say go for a walk, but it's too late at night :( I could do with another 5am ramble, amazing what you see, how peaceful it is and how many people leave lights on all night :)

    I used to that every day. The offie opened at 5.45 and I`d be on my bench by the river by 6. I actually thought that all them people taking the pretty walk to work envied me. Stinking thinking eh!.

    What you started drinking at 6am? What offie will sell alcohol at 6 in the morning?

    I meant I couldn't sleep, so I used to go for 4 or 5 am walks and bike rides, its quiet round here at the busiest times, at that time, apart from the odd farmer, its just me and the birds.

  • You'd be surprised Beer.. down here there's a shop that will sell fags and booze to 10 year olds.. they've been reported lots of times but nothing seems to happen. I'm guessing if they'll sell to kids, they'll sell at wrong hours too :/

    Beer - it was a corner shop/newsagent. One morning I was cycling past after getting off the night shift early (my birthday) and I popped in for a paper. Then I fancied a tennants super. He told me that he wasn`t allowed to sell it to me and then told me to hide it in my back pack.That was the start of my morning drinking. Pretty soon it was `if I am awake,then I am drinking` as the job had gone.
    One day at a time and I will never wind up back on that bench.

  • How are you??

    Last time I looked you were getting called upon at work? How is that going??

    Also, last time I looked....you were getting out more in situations that were a concern to you before...so very well done for that;) ...I know I can get a bit tetchy at times.....slightly agorophobic (kind of)...more anxious...about going out on my own....but you have done really well;)
