Thank you everyone for all the lovely kind words. Am off to the pub quiz but have already told my drinking buddies I will be alcohol free tonight. Am definitely looking at an op not sure how drastic yet. Not drinking surely must help me be prepared for it. Drinking also makes my anxiety worse the next day. I don’t need that right now that’s for sure.

Sorry to hear that an op is necessary Arsenal Barnie. A wise friend once told me we should only drink when we're happy, an excellent piece of advise I didn't follow. I used to get anxious and depressed the day after a heavy drinking session, too.

When it comes to the op, please be honest with the anaesthetist. I've posted about this before, but when I had to have my wrist set I had a chat with mine and the subject of booze came up. I was scrupulously honest with her for which she thanked me - it really affects the treatment they give, and they need to know. She said I was the only patient she'd had who was honest - I told her I drank way more than the government's recommended maximum amount. A first, apparently. I hope you get it over and done with very quickly so life can go back to normal asap

10/30 please, Shaggy.

1/16 for me please Shaggy - good luck with your 30 day challenge! I initially started wavering when I got in from work and then remembered I'd said on here today would be AF. Good night everyone.

Evening Everyone,


Thank you everyone for your kind wishes. It means a lot.
Sadly i have no AF days to report. Day after my last post i went into our office in the morning whilst OH counting the till and said that i'd just like to clarify something he had said. Essentially, he had said he wished we had split up before we bought our first house together. In my head this basically means he regrets the last 15 years of our life together. i said this back to him. He turned around in his chair, got upset and said he didn't mean it he was just being horrible but he hated us fighting all the time. I went on to say that he'd told me that I have mental health issues and everyone can see it and his Mother had me "bagged up" and could see through me being a nutter. He replied that i was actually unstable but his Mother had loved me regardless. I mentioned "Relate" that evening and he wasn't interested.

All in all, we are still together, still in separate rooms and still not getting on. By accident i discovered this week he is smoking again. He is, of course, beyond reproach and I'm surprised he has not found a way to try and blame me for him smoking again.

I was going to try and make it to the end of the summer so at least i could save some cash and make plans but that night he was so hideous towards me i was left the next day sitting upstairs having panic attacks in one of the spare pub bedrooms (which he doesn't know about). I'm the one, after all, that has got to create a whole new life for myself somewhere new with no partner or family background. if i were to die, there is no one to even bury me. I feel completely alone. I have a pet i need to re-home whom i absolutely love just to make my situation worse.

I could go and live in Goa quite happily for a year on my savings but what do i do with the rest of my life? Single, homeless, jobless, career-less.

Well managed my first AFD in June last night so will try for 4 as a SNC -thanks Shaggy. Once AFDs reestablished I will be back on the diet too. Managed to put on 7lbs in 18 days, if only it came off as quickly!

10/16 for June and 2/5 SNC please Shaggy. X

Morning all, 11/21 for me today please.

How awful for you Manpants . Is there any way you can keep your pet. Is it a dog?

Again thank you for all the kind words everyone.

Thank you Honey Bear I didn’t know that. I had a blip last night as was out with sis and DD at a concert. We were happy drinking last night but I am feeling it big time this morning. Am planning on abstaining again now as feel so much better all round when I don’t drink.

So calling in early with 7/16 for today.
