Hope so, I have booked the train up so that shouldnt be a problm. However getting home from there may be. Ah sure its better than staying here and getting drunk like I did the last weekend I got stuck....confession time.

I am so looking forward to my sober Christmas. I cant tell you how pissed off I am with my recent behavour. Plan B is now in place which includes my going to AA if the feelings start to overwhelm me again, as I did this week for the first time in about ten years.

As an aside, dopey here went looking for Expats first thread, took me five mins to realise I was on it :nutso:

Well between me & you & everyone else, i did think that you went drinking and if i may be so bold it was not unexpected as you did say in the hotel that it would be hard for you down there and as we know idle hands leads to the devils work,(me ma said that :-) )

Idle hands, Jaysus we wont go there :H:H:H I was taught by the christian brothers.

Moderation is all fine and dandy for me if it would stay at level 1, which is the odd one or two and leaving it at that, which I can do for the most part. However the frequency quickly escalated down here and then the inevitable happened. Not like I didnt realise this was a possibility.
There in lies the crux of the problem, being ok most of the time is all fine but its not enough for me any more. I was at my happiest when I was AF for months.

I knew it!!! I FINALLY start the thread after being on here for months and...now I'm a SLUT:H!! Grrr...Mr.Tips. Sorry you've been having a hard time KTAB. Good for you that you have your plan B.:l I'm doing ODAT-well, sometimes one minute at a time. It's not even so much that I'm craving a drink as that I just don't like my "moods" up and feeling good and then just wanting to hide under the duvet. In the past, drinking "helped" to numb the worries. Of course it did NOTHING to help matters at the end of the day. Quite the opposite. So I won't even talk about the ongoing financial problems-but this is a huge stress factor. Trying to look at the positive side of things-good health, great kids (most of the time) I have a job etc blah, blah, blah. I've heard people use the expression "Get your big girl pants on"-so time to work on my problems and be an adult. Being an adult is fecking scary sometimes, isn't it?:upset:

Good morning all,

Happy birthday to Betty Boop - i've loved some of your posts Best wishes to everyone else. I'm a new kid on the block, day one today, taken the first valium thing and am about much use as a chocolate teapot... Don't know, don't care too much how i feel, but reckon i am on the way to becoming a thread slut The nuns that taught me at primary school used to say an empty vessel makes the most noise - well, i've filled and emptied more than my fair share of vessels and am hoping the only noises i'll be making from now on are the sober ones....

Let's go for it people (before "it" goes for us !!)
