    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

  • I had a dream the night before last that I got really really drunk on white wine it was so real that when I woke up I was sooooo relieved that it was just a dream and I was even more relieved that I didnt have a hangover.
    jo1972, the only words I can offer is that you have got to a place where you know you want to change, that is a good starting point xxxx.
    SHAGGY, 14 AF DAYS FOR ME please....TRASI

    Morning to everyone else :wave:

    I'm not doing well, not well at all :(

    I think I need to be locked up somewhere to stop me drinking, I don't even want to drink but I do it, I actually say to myself 'I don't want this' and I do it, I do it cos I can.

    Today will be an interesting one, I have to stay for a meeting after work and it won't finish until around 9pm. Last week I left that 'do' that I organised after 10pm and even though that's bedtime, did intend to pop in offy and buy a couple, but they were shutting and I didn't want to stop them shutting to buy beer, it's not exactly an emergency like gas or electric or milk :rotfl: (well, for them it's not :undecided). But today will be slightly earlier when shop is open but I will have passed my normal danger time if it'd been a normal night sat indoors. How strong will I be? Most probably, not very.... :(

    I'm getting to the point where I'm actually relieved to wake up, then I know that I haven't died in the night.

    I'm ready for the tough love treatment now please...

    *sits down and waits to be told off*

    Um tough love - easier if I'm nearer then I can beat you up more than you're doing yourself.................(joke honest please don't report me for jo-abuse).

    You're asking for help - we need to figure out how you can get some.................

    you've got your family - check
    you've got us lot - check
    you've got living sober - check

    Thats a start but maybe you also need a bit more of a hand - you know I can't go near the stuff - we've compared ridiculus stories.

    What about the drs? Or look online for some online support?

    Hugs, how (tough love again) you need to be kind to yourself - or I'll send the dog round animal-emoticon-0003.gif

    I could threaten not coming to London - but I hardly think thats much of a punishment........................:D

    Look after yourself girl - I'm about if you need to be guided home via non-offy route tonight. We can take a more scenic route............................:A

    Jo - what is it that you could do instead of drinking how would you replace what you get from drink with something else? I am sorry I am not much of a help :o

    Head bad today so called sick. I am going to take some strong pain killers and crash for couple of hours.
