Hi guys just popping on to say hi as well - working all evening so also reading boards etc

Jack hope you are ok - to be honest its how I feel mostly - so you are not alone, I feel self obsessed mostly and pre-occupied with my own nonsense.

Molly polly - free since April - how you do it?

Its not easy.But this board has really helped me.Everyone is so nice and I feel like I know you all...and dont want to have to tell you that I have failed.
I read back through the posts and it seems such a long time since I first found this thread but I have read it everyday since (except when on holiday) and think I may be addicted to this now:D
I too work from home as well as a little evening part time job so am usually watching whats going on and lurking.
Dont work too hard fay.;)
Hope you are all having a good evening.
Love Mollypollyxxxx

in the nicest possible way, you need to get over yourself! think about it before deciding how offhand that sounds....the whole thing needs to start by you picking yourself up and fighting for what you want to happen next...the past is dead....you're not...live for your future...not for the past..

and i don't mind telling you i'm bawling my eyes out and i need your help.

my life is in ashes, embers, ruins,
i don't quite know how to describe it.

i just know i'm rubbish and not good enough.

i'm really sorry, for being a !!!!!!-head,
i'm not very good at this sort of thing.

Two months before I stopped I heard this on the radio and I knew at the time that a whole lot was going to fall apart around my head.

The song came from absolutely nowhere on the radio, never heard it before in my life and summed it all up so well.

In this farewell,
There’s no blood,
There’s no alibi.
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousand lies.

So let mercy come,
And wash away…

What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.

Put to rest,
What you thought of me.
While I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty.

So let mercy come,
And wash away…

What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.

For What I’ve Done

I start again,
And whatever pain may come.
Today this ends,
I’m forgiving what I’ve done.

I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.


To me it says, let go, regroup and come back fighting. You're only down if you let it get you down. My past is done. I'll never forget it but by hell, I'm stronger now.

Bis - sorry if it sounded off hand - red faced here, was just saying hi, and am around working - (what I want to happen next is that I actually get off my backside, stop feeling sorry for myself and focus on work, cos that funds my family) didnt mean to sound offhand, generally read this board cos its helping and the daily things one, thats the sum of what I am up to and who i am - was trying to be polite - my future right now feels like its it tatters - cos of all my current mess ups

I honestly didnt think was being offhand (sorry it if sounded that way) just polite, am new and can't exactly say much to anyone except to ask advice I am here reading and thinking - trying to change stuff for the future.
