Jo - now you are making me feel guilty! Mine doesn't hurt much at all really, only a tiddly bruise & you can only see a tiny dot where the needle went in!

Trust me to joke about when you have been through hell with yours!

Still - Mrs BHB did bring me a cup of tea in bed this morning

SM - Hope you are feeling a bit better!

I trust everyone else is having a good day?

Keep strong tonight - Saturday nights can be the worst for most I guess.

If in doubt HAVE SOME CHOCOALTE

Best wishes
Andy

Hi all,

Just popping in to say Hello and Well Done to you all battling with the booze!

Sorry I haven't posted earlier.

I haven't had a drink since the tail end of my 4 day bender last Saturday, so 1 week for me..yippppeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm a bit low if truth be told, about losing my job (as explained in my previous post..), and my confidence has taken a bit of a knock, as I'm starting to worry that I couldn't fit in.

Went to Docs on Monday, and it turns out that amazingly, my Gamma GT's or whatever they're called (Liver Function Test) has come out super-normal. The Doc said, apparently, I'm at the 'very healthy' end of the spectrum, and he couldnt' believe it. He was, as I am delighted though, but he warned not to think 'Blow it, I can go out on one last bender now!'

I've not had a craving all week, until tonight, when an almighty, sober reality check set in..

I'm 34, without a career - without a job of any description, essentially homeless (I'm staying at my Dad's while waiting for the Housing Association to help, as I can't afford to even rent let alone buy), since my ex-girlfriend kicked me out last December....without a car (which doesn't help when you're looking for work..)

Please forgive me, I'm just feeling a bit sorry for myself!

Things are better. I'm seeing a lovely young Lady, I did get my previous job (out of 60-odd others who didn't), even if they didn't think I was fitting in...I've received a letter from the council / Housing Association, telling me that I've been assessed as being a 'priority need' and so I'm relatively close to the top of the list apparently.

I'm intelligent, I care about being better, doing better and moving forwards with finding a job where I feel valued, which is rewarding, and where I can help other people (and not bullied for petty cr*p like at my last job!) I'm trying to apply for the 'TeleTech' job as found on MSE..but I cant get their assessment to load! (posted on the 'Another real work at home job thread')

I'm even looking at applying for a Taxi driving licence, so I can bring in the dosh while I look at what I 'really' want to do. A local 'Remploy' - type organisation have told me that they'll meet the cost of applying (around £180..gulp!) so that's great news.

I care about people. I have a loving cat at my Dads who I'm about to snuggle up with to watch a film!

I helped my Dad re-do his wall by the drive yesterday..a great workout, mixing all the concrete, and lugging bricks about!..... and a fantastic feeling seeing a good job well done.

Oh, and I'm sober!

Hope you're all having a lovely Saturday evening all, and Good Luck to all of you who are trying to enjoy it sober.

Lots of Love,

Leigh (who's off for chocolate cake and coffee!) x
