Mmm...Satz? why DO you have to say anything about being a problem drinker? Can't you just say, drinking is not me at my best. This is me at my best. I like this me. Why can't you?

I just won't do that to myself and have that tag for the rest of my days . Too proud to have whispers about me.

I know this is STUPID - but sometimes I think I need a spectacular event so that it's out in the open? Then the choice is taken away from me whether to drink ever again or not ! Would be easier.

THE END

Can you pull the person aside who speaks to you like that and just tell them something like.......'I'm having a well deserved break from drinking (no time frame necessary) for my own reasons. i.e. I feel healthier and have more energy. I don't like the way you speak to me when you put on that voice and be sarcastic, so i'd appreciate it if you wouldn't talk to me this way'.......etc..

Maybe summit like that?

Thanks Mr G
Yes I could but then I'm thinking it's me.
I do not think I am committed to being a non-drinker FOREVER.
I love being sober. Have been since January 13th this year. But just 'cos it suits me at present.
But I think sometimes - and I know this is frowned on on the boards - "I will drink just a glass of wine at dinner sometime in the future"

Just wondered am I alone in this ?

No, I don't think you are alone with these thoughts. But who knows wat the future holds. It is what we do now, this minute, today that matters. But back to your question.

For me, I don't know if not drinking will be forever. Some people here DO know this within themselves. I do not, and that's okay with me. It's just a personal decision.

I know that booze in my life at the moment is not on, and I don't want it. Probably for the next few years at least, as I have a lot of things I want to do, and I do things best, enjoy things best, when I am 24/7 sober. It may be that I remain sober for good. I'm not worried about the future at the moment. I only know that from now on, for at LEAST the next few years, I will be living sober 24/7. I'll see where i'm at after that.

I know exactly what you're saying here Satz.

Of for the love of Dog Satz.
Can't these people be satisfied just damaging their own health?

Is this a person who is just controlling about alcohol, or are they generally a control freak who needs standing up to?

And as an aside ... had a lovely PM from a lovely lady who's not really posted for years saying she reads the Undies and misses Little Leon dreadfully. As a retired oncology nurse she offered me any help I might need. How bloody special is that?

I think that sort of illustrates what I was talking about earlier ...

Very special. And what MWO is about.

I'll text Sunny. See if there is a Leon happy snap taken from Hawaii. I'd like to see the cool little dude with sunglasses on...and a big smile...

Special and bloody marvellous.

You know Frog, the longer I spend in this joint, particularly getting around the boards of late a fair bit, the more heartened and reassured I am that ace people are out there spread across the world and in all walks of life. Noice.

Yeah me too.
No sense in not thinking about it and letting it sideswipe us.
For me I know there's no such thing as normal drinking, now or ever.
But one of the best ways to disempower these thoughts is to 'out' them.

I have a friend who "outs" mine on a regular basis :l One drink for me is not possible. Ever.

Now, silly question time...is anyone else except me and Bridge pissing themselves laughing about this ad??
