Managed last night on nothing stronger than soda water, which wouldnt have happened a year ago. I know I dont post often on here, but I was going to not update at all this month. I currently have someone trolling me around the boards and its been going on in one form or another since around Christmas and there's currently some debate going on in another section of this site as to whether by sharing stuff about my life I actually deserved, if thats the right word to be trolled like this.

Ive spoken to few people offline about any struggles I had re alcohol and Im aware that someone only needs to look at my posting history to add this to the list of other insults that are currently doing the rounds, Im over 40, single, I have pets and I used to suffer from work related stress.

Anyhow, I figure that it's just words on a screen and it won't stop me posting. Very likely to be a long term user in another guise, Im certainly not the first person to be picked off and Im sure I wont be the last.

Just that sometimes, it takes a lot for people to go on any thread and say, Im struggling with this. You dont reckon that there's someone out there who wants to call you names over it.

Not the way Id behave on a forum even if I didnt care for someone. Anyway, its a new month, good luck everyone, hope you all meet your targets.

Some people are just pathetic. Ignore them. It does particularly annoy me that, as you say, some of these are long term users who have an alter ego. Very cruel and cowardly if you ask me.

Anyway, moving on. April is off to a good start with 1/18

Many thanks again to Shaggy for keeping the list up to date
