I'm glad I'm in...........Mr Jc's got this morning off.............very grateful I'm getting a lift in ...but he's flapping around like a turkey fleeing from a farmer on Christmas Eve.

:hug: Molls
Folks listen to what being said - she KNOWS !
The 'poor me' will get us if we do not take care of ourselves inside ourselves -if you know what I mean.
WE ARE MISSING NOTHING !!!
We have to believe that !!

what we chase (if we're lucky) is that ONE HOUR --- one hour of the buzz of the first couple of drinks --- and yes -- why deny it --- that 'buzz' is wonderful --- you can feel the draining away of the anxiety -- the sadness --- the loneliness ---- all fades away --- FOR ONE HOUR --- and then what happens --- we crave our 3rd as we are drinking our 2nd ---- .... EVERYONE who is on this site knows where it goes from there --- we chase that buzz --- but in that session it doesn't happen again --- what happens is -- we disgust ourselves -- we disgust those around us --- we wake up -- be it later in the day or the next morning --- the FEAR the LOATHING the ANXIETY is off the scale --- AND we are back to craving drink --- THAT is the part that is LEAST understood on this site --- look at the number of people who have achieved serious sobriety as in years..... they CANNOT get back on track ---- we have fed the addiction...... it is NEVER 'two small beers' to the likes of us --- it is feeding a dormant disease ---- sorry all a bit serious here --- but I needed to say it xxx

:welldone::welldone: NOTHING to add to that !
