well done you!!!

Evening all, just been catching up! Such a lot to catch up with since yesterday.

Jo - my heart goes out to you. I really hope you find the help you need.

A huge thank-you to all who responded to my post about falling off the wagon and being desperate for a drink. Such kind and wise advice and much appreciated. It does help to know that I am not alone in this.

On the subject of how much help there is for helping smokers quit and virtually none for those with alcohol problems - could it be a financial reason? If smokers costs the NHS a vast amount of money perhaps that's why there is a significant amount of money ploughed in to help people stop. Don't know but I'd guess there are government accountants totting up the income from fags and booze versus the cost of the problems they cause!

It only gets easier if you change yourself and get rid of the desire to drink. Just by not drinking I still had feelings of restlessness, irritability, and discontentedness. I needed to change how I thought and how I felt, and then the desire to drink was lifted from me.
Will power alone is not enough for many people on this thread - they are alcoholics and need to change themselves.

Graeme - Appreciated and agreed. Changing yourself and getting rid of the desire to drink has to be the key. Using will power to not drink when you actually want to drink is painful. That's where I'm at and others too I guess. How did you move on and change to get rid of the desire to drink?

How about life in the Bird Cage?

Well work tomorrow, still can't get my car out of our cul de sac, Mr Budgie was out there half an hour earlier today. So borrowing my Dads 4 x 4 tomorrow. Think we will need to get one of our own.

So work, then shopping, then home and then I am not sure . (No alcohol will be a part of it though, I so want a dancing ewok )

Sorry HoneyB I have just read your post again and you said special, I think i did that thingy that Marru posted the other day. You know the one where you look at the first and last letters and then make up the word.

I will of course appreciate my special ewok, (sorry for the dancing comment )

Special it wil be, providing of course Budgie behaves

Thankyou sweetheart :A
Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hhm - as always been lurking and still in holiday mode due to snow (tho' half bottles not whole bottles!). Bit miffed on missing an Ewok therefore will try harder next week (I'm a sucker for something small, cute & furry! _ NO COMMENTS FROM THE USUAL SUSPECTS - you know who you are!!)

Anyway - Congrats Marru - on a selfish note I hope you don't desert us for another thread - the chasing is very confusing!). Lots of love.
Budgie - i hope your back is better and Jo I hope the AA man helped!
Everyone else - I do care but I'm not up to Budgie's epic posts!
Keep warm and take care
xx
PS off to defrost some Lorne sausage - loverly & dumpling. Fay, how could you? - wash your mouth out!!!
