Hi Buck, me young Bucko, I can confirm that JC speaks the truth. It just gets better and better after another few days. For me the AL fog started to lift, I started to feel half human again and ten years younger. Stick it out, I promise you wont regret it.
Oh and hi JC, I see gazza is reported falling off the wagon again. Very sad.

Good to see you Buck!
Yep, they do not lie....

You talking about paul gascoigne KT?

Oh KT,

He lives just a few miles away, so near all the student bars. It's tragic. My little brother met him and he says there's not a bad bone in his body.

I thought he was really getting a grip this time.

What happens if I have 1 or 2 on the weekend? That's what I'm scared of. I'm scared I might not be in a good mood, and forget what I'm trying to do and buy a 6 pack and screw everything up.

I am Starty.
JC you are right I imagine. I read his biography a few years ago and he appears to me to be just a big kid, the class clown. A fantastic footballer in his day who never had to make decisions and had plenty of hangers on along for the ride. Did you see the documentary his family made about a year or so ago trying to intervene and get him back into rehab?

I saw the beginning of the documentary,KT, but it was so uncomfortable to watch so I switched over. I was in such denial then

There's the problem,Buck. I couldn't have one or two. I'd have to keep going 'til I eventually keeled over.

Yes it is never easy viewing to watch someone in distress. Atfer a few days dry he ended up intentionally starting a row with his wife to enable himself to have an excuse to hit the bottle again and dissapeared off on a bender for about 4-5 days. I may be judging him unfairly, but the reason I know this is, I did exactly the same in my past.

I have had the most unproductive day.

The contents of the conservatory are now in the lounge, the dining room is now in the conservatory and I've got half a bedroom in the hall. I trying to re-arrange the furniture and gave up.

But I've got a new dress

KT, if I'd listed the reasons/triggers/excuses for me to have a drink the interweb would go into melt down

My honest opinion is that after we have walked the path that finds us here at WMO we all need some AF time under our belts to enable us to think and see clearly again. At times we cant see the wood for the trees. If you decide to drink again after only 3 days you are doing yourself a disservice. My advice would be give yourself some more time and see how you feel, take it odat if neccessary. I promise you, you wont regret it.

You should see the shoes.

I'm treating myself with the bit of money I've put aside since going AF. ( a pound a day in a jar)
