    Welldone YM and welcome TNG.
    Thanks for the support from you all.
    Ifeel a bit brighter now.Think I may have been a bit hormonal this weekend but am definitely feeling more positive now the weekend is over.It is so hard to sit with DH evey night while he drinks whisky and I have tea or pop.
    Back to my noon shift today and DH will be in bed when I get in so its back to the tea and toast.
    See you later.
    Love mollypollyxxxx

  • Hope its ok to join so far down the line.

    I have just about finished reading what for me has been a very inspirational thread and thanks to everyone for the honesty and openness. I dont feel quite ready to be 100% open yet so I confess I am hiding behind a new name:o In my defense I want to be really open on this thread and because a couple of my family and friends post on mse and know my "other" name I would probably end up minimising (in other words lying:o ) about my drinking to avoid them knowing. Anyway hope thats ok by you lovely people who seem to be so much farther down the line of sorting your demons out.
    So here I am and my user name says it all. I will come back later if thats ok with my story (so prepare to be shocked:eek: :D ) but right now I need to breathe through my fear of posting:o

    Thanks in anticipation
