    Reminds me of something I read in a magazine once:

    "Make a list of all the jobs you have to do then lose it"

    :D

    :T I will have to try that technique.

    Happy to help :cool:

    I'm a bit of a lister but remembering that always make me smile :) It was all in the context of not striving to be perfect all the time & just being happy as yourself :)

    Morning all

    Hope everyone is doing OK. I am at work ATM and sorted out little problem yesterday so should have a nice quiet one ;)

    elentan I found your post quite sad actually regarding your OH. Hopefully I am not the same now as I was putting drink before my family and I could see myself mirrored in your OH. Hope something happens to re ignite your relationship ( if that is what you want of course)

    Going to be a lovely day down souf today and I hope it is the same where you are

    ym


    hey Ym i do know what you mean when you say it is quite sad ...it is ...but it is what it is ...to find out that the person you love and would die for prefers to have alcohol to a happy marriage and that the alcohol is more important that you really changes the way you feel with the relationship and the love.... as alot of people are aware alcohol is an addiction i know he loves me i just know he needs alcohol more just now....and yes it is slowly killing my love for him...but at the end of the day i can only change my behaviour i cant change anyone elses
