By the way -

Why is it, that you Women are the bane of my f*cking life?!

I used to feel like this too. I thought my (now ex) wife was the problem.
However, I have no control over other people, so I am responsible for the way I act and react.
I now know that expectations of others can easily lead to resentments. I am by no means perfect, so why do I expect others to be?

Heath480 - Alcohol free since May 23rd 2003 -

Hiya,

Loads of respect, and embarrassed shuffling in a British way..

I'm a 36 year old bloke, and I should be better at this!

Nearly 7 years is amazing by the way.

Sim x

7 years is amazing. And I imagine that Heath480 has just done it one day at a time.

I used to think I should be better at not drinking. But I have the illness of alcoholism, and it wasn't just a lack of willpower.There is no secret to stopping drinking unfortunately. Different things work for different people.

I need meetings. They keep me sober. I enjoy them.

GC/Heath wise words

As for me I've rather wierdly started eating breakfast - no reason to tell you all - but its a bit wierd

Waves to you all - I've lots of amazon sales to sort out today and need to sort out more of my finances!

Work is about to get bonkers
Heating is broken
Everything else is OK so far I think..................just the usual exams, cello concerts etc!

Been back and forth to the new house alot - (so far AF ) and its odd when I come to the hill before the house - its like my whole body lets out a big sigh! More things to move and then we're 'camping' in this house until the lodger leaves in Mid June.

I'm embarressed to report that I was not AF yesterday. It was 10pm and my OH had just opened a 'good' (by that I mean not a Sainsbury's 3 for £10) bottle of wine. I thought "if I don't have a glass now I won't get any of it". The silly thing is that I didn't enjoy it at all (I don't have a sophisticated palate ). I still intend to do my 4 days this week just Mon, Tues, Thurs and Friday instead.
So WBF and sparkles no HUFFS to report today:(
