    Someone who obviously thinks a lot of you.

    BTW Anyone who quotes Marillion in their siggy can't be all bad.
    Total self-indulgent but as an 18yr old I loved them.

    Fugazi
    Vodka intimate, an affair with isolation in a blackheath cell
    Extinguishing the fires in a private hell
    Provoking the heartache to renew the licence
    Of a bleeding heart poet in a fragile capsule
    Propping up the crust of the glitter conscience
    Wrapped in the christening shawl of a hangover
    Baptised in the tears from the real
    Tears from the real

    Drowning in the liquid seize on the piccadilly line, rat race
    Scuttling through the damp electric labyrinth
    Caress ophelias hand with breathstroke ambition
    An albatross in the marrytime tradition
    Sheathed within the walkman wear the halo of distortion
    Aural contraceptive aborting pregnant conversation
    She turned the harpoon and it pierced my heart
    She hung herself around my neck

    From the time-life-guardians in their conscience bubbles
    Safe and dry in my sea of troubles
    Nine to five with suitable ties
    Cast adrift as their sideshow, peepshow, stereo hero
    Becalm bestill, bewitch
    Drowning in the real

    The thief of baghdad hides in islingtown now
    Praying deportation for his sacred cow
    A legacy of romance from a twilight world
    The dowry of a relative mystery girl
    A vietnamese flower, a dockland union
    A mistress of release from a magazines thighs
    Magdalenes contracts more than favours
    The feeding hands of western promise hold her by the throat

    A son of a swastika of 45 parading a peroxide standard
    Graffiti disciples conjure testaments of hatred
    Aerosol wands whisper where the searchlights trim the barbed wire hedges
    This is brixton chess
    A knight for embankment folds his newspaper castle
    A creature of habit, begs the boatmans coin
    Hell fade with old soldiers in the grease stained roll call
    And linger with the heartburn of good fridays last supper

    Son watches father scan obituary columns in search of absent school friends
    While his generation digests high fibre ignorance
    Cowering behind curtains and the taped up painted windows
    Decriminalised genocide, provided door to door belsens
    Pandoras box of holocausts gracefully cruising satellite infested heavens
    Waiting, wai-wai-waiting, the season of the button
    The penultimate migration
    Radioactive perfumes
    For the fashionably
    For the terminally insane, insane
    D-d-do you realise?
    D-d-do you realise?
    D-d-do you realise, this world is totally fugazi

    Where are the prophets
    Where are the visionaries
    Where are the poets
    To breach the dawn of the sentimental mercenary
    Girls are gonna love the way I toss my hair. Boys are gonna hate the way I seem.

    I would rather drown with you than watch the surf with someone else

    I had a difficult evening/night, but managed to resist the urges by telling myself I could give in if they were still there in the morning. Half a chocolate orange gone, and I'm still sad :(

    I'm fed up being so tired. Its alright when I'm not doing anything, but I can't just sleep for the rest of my life. I'm supposed to be cleaning the house, but I can barely stand up, I'm that drowsy from the medication. Can't learn to drive now either, was really looking forward to the freedom of being able to drive. Suppose this is better than the intense fear I felt. Zombie vs Fear. I don't know.

    Morning all, well done fg I know its ruddy hard but you are doing really well xx

    Do you want to chat?

    I am going to be really brave now and try not to blow up the laptop through crying.:eek:


    I have been keeping up with everyone but was not in the right frame of mind to talk.:confused:

    I thought I had learnt to manage (create diversions) so as not to s/h and had not done it for nearly 5 months. Like all addictions once your off the wagon you don't want to stop.
    I am lucky to have support and I had a week away with a friend and I have not s/h for 3 days.
    But today I have an appointment (confessional) I know I don't have to tell her anything I don't want to but have learnt that I need to be honest to get the best help for myself.

    I don't want to get up :mad: . Can't rearrange as have changed twice already.

    fg please pass over the choccy orange :A

    Fairy Dawn - Choccy orange is all gone. Truffles now! Then cheesecake. Well done on 3 days. I think I'm on about Day 8, and feeling wobbly. Hard to believe that I had a good few years with out. Hope appointment goes okay. ((Hugs))

    LM - How are you feeling today?

    Fairy,
    As a coward I cannot understand S/h. I hate pain. But I abuse my body in other ways (overeating).
    I can't really advise you but I can say that you have my best wishes in your struggle.
    Take care of yourself
