What's all that about then? Enders fan myself.

For years she has always been seen with a glass of red wine in her hand but they decided to make her realise she's an alcoholic on Friday's episode when she opened her work drawer and there was a bottle of summat in there so she immediately went off to an AA meeting (or equivelant), long story short, she didn't go into the meeting cos someone she knew was in there but went home and got bladdered to black out after cutting her arm and then the guy who was in the meeting a recovering alcoholic neighbour breaks in to help her. It doesn't happen like this in real life.

Apologies to Pen, but I screwed up on day 1 of your challenge, but I WILL complete Tues to Thurs, I'm sick of it all.

Had a !!!!!! day yesterday, got home from work to find that my entire guttering and pipes had fallen off my house :eek:

Anyway, gotta run, will be late, need to do lunches and stuff.

Chow for now :wave:

Good point, I hadn't really noticed how the Carla drinking story line came out of nowhere until you said. Hopefully the writers won't have her celebrating her recovery on Thursday with a bottle of champagne in the Rovers ;-)
Eastender's Phil Mitchell drinking story line was (is) a much more long term issue which I guess makes it a lot more realistic. My drinking escalated over about 15 years before I decided to do something about it.

do you know what hurts? what really really hurts ...

watching your best friend, the person you love and want to spend the rest of your life with kill themself and knowing there is nothing nothing at all that you can do to stop it.... watching your marriage slowly die but finding yourself unwilling to give up until you can be able to say to yourself well i know i did my best ... i know there was nothing more i could do....

almost finding yourself wishing you believed in god so that you could pray for a miracle cause it looks like nothing else will cut it ... seeing a glimpse of the future for the man you love ... knowing he will loose everything EVERYTHING that means something to him ... to be replaced with drinking buddies and living in squalor till he gets sooooo ill he gets taken into hopsital where he will slowly die an agonising death ....

that really really hurts


just wanted to share this with you all please dont think i am trying to be nasty or anything ... this is just where i am at just now and really wish i wasnt .... does anyone have any advice of what i can do to help hubby ?
