Thanks for these Jax. Yes I can so relate to both of them especially the first one wanting to die. Mr JC is an absolute hero. Did you ever think he might not stay by you? Did he ever tell you to sort your drinking out?

pmsl....what a shame the Undies thread isn't in full swing then!

Get it going Happs. it is a lovely thread and I for one would love to see it back

[starty]

Nah speak up, weve all been there, remember when i used to kid my self i could moderate i was like yeah i'm just gonna drink on a Saturday for a couple of hours get wrecked and leave it for a week or so; then Jacks said "seems more like binge drinking to me" and i needed to hear that cause my sick mind had excused binge drinking for moderation, our minds convince us of all kinds, best to share and get others views

I agree, and also love the non judgmental approach. Did you drink daily pinks?

JC thanks for that. As in your defining moment, I was surprised to realise that most people are quite sensible when it comes to drinking. I never saw the point of 'just one'' drink before.

Early days yet Starty...we shall see. I loved how the Undies made my early days feel here. Made drinking so much less important.

This was me exactly Starty. And would be me again if I went back to drinking. It is always a downward spiral and a slow self inflicted suicide of body, mind, spirit, and soul. I wish for you a good day today my friend. X

Thank you Mr G. Yes, I was never what you call a party animal. I was the one who secretly used it to feel calm and pass the hours. Maybe even the last person who people would have suspected as having a problem.

I think there is a lot of documented research that shows it is not a placebo pinks. I will dig out some posts that I read way back when I first started taking it

L glut is awesome...helped me quit smoking too

Same. Quietly killing myself. I think that's why I had so many questions when I gave up, so many - "what? just have one drink" Even when I finished cancer treatment, it was expected you'd celebrate with champagne. Pretty bizarre.

Morning army good advice there starty not much more i can add too. Tomorrow is the start of a new week and if hubby is giving up as well you could support each other. The rain has stopped and the sun is out. I have to pick my monthly prescription from a local chemist as i didn't get there yesterday i 'll get the bus to Bray after go for a walk along the seafront and get a coffee after. There is some nice coffee shops along the way. I need some tea lights from the euro store.

Yes I did swear by it. And the all one. I am going to load up because I have both. I also used to take Kudzu too. Might look that up and get some.

Plodding at the moment seems very appealing, just get through the days and treat myself to rest and reading.

And I know you think chocolate is the catalyst but I think the treat of eating what you want will see you through tough times. Relax, eat and happy thoughts.

no i was a binge drinker, but it was getting much worse it was only a matter of time
