    Oh Lilith, babes, I'm sorry :(

    It is better to face things head on than hide behind the "comfort" of alcohol. Not that that makes it any easier.

    Hugs, honey - I hope you work things out

    I remember reading that book when I was 19, but I think I was too young to really appreciate it. Maybe I should give it another go.

    Now that I am being more careful I'm starting to see the possible reasons for my excessive drinking.

    Hubby and I are going through a sh*te time, not sure if we're going to get through it and this afternoon at work I was sat there nearly in tears just really feeling the need to drink to numb it all out. But I now know it's much better to feel what's going on and much healthier to cry than sink a few bottles :o

    ((((hugs))) honey.

    Bedtime for me :)

    Or, at least, time to turn off the laptop & read for a bit :D

    Nite all, sweet dreams :)

    Thanks for the support guys, appreciate it :o

    Doesn't help that hubby actually thinks I lied about what the doctor said to me :(

    But his drinking levels are serious so maybe he's reacting that way cos he knows he needs to sort himself out too. Anyway, I can only work on myself so I will carry on.
