Oooh, good one, C.

Why do I keep coming back? To stay in touch with my buds (that's all of you, btw). To pass on what was passed to me. To help the newbie. To put off doing the stuff that needs doing in the house.

It's in the morning, on a BBC station with a number in it.

I'll try very hard not to thank R, as well as the www founder. Don't think that will be politic. Although I know he listens.....

You'll all be "virtually" holding my hand, won't you? I've never done anything like this before.

One suggestion:

Maybe refer to R as "someone I thought that had a drinking problem"

I know here on the board we all refer to them as A's but in reality - only the person with the problem themselves can say they are an alcoholic...

Only because I can see a reporter jumping all over that one.."Oh really? He's an alcoholic?" blah blah blah...

Cool - all of the BBC radio programmes can be listened to online, even after the fact. Let us know which one you were on. Please.

I think they chose well when they chose you, Minnie. I'm one of those people you can't shut up....until you stick a microphone in front of me. I'm sure you'll do better, and the best advice I can give you is to just be your wonderful self.

Hugs

Great point, Minx. I can't believe I actually wrote "alcoholic" when I barely ever use the word. Shorthand, I guess. Nothing under the amount of about 2500 words can describe how it was, so I'll stick with "I was engaged to a heavy drinker", I think.

Feeling a bit sick now.

It was only a very short piece, but I think I managed to get my points across. And my Dad and bro were listening in whilst in the middle of the Irish Sea!!!

Minnie,
Tried to go to the site, but couldn't because of work filter - congratulations!! - I'm sure you did awesome!!
Isn't it neat the way our HP keeps moving us out of our comfort zone to help us grow in our recovery - He definitely keeps pushing me. Looks like I will be the Al-Anon speaker for a Women's Retreat (AA, Al-Anon & NA) in Houston,TX on Sept 15-17, 2006. Talk about out of my comfort zone.
Anyway, congrats again - talk about working the 12th Step!!
See ya,
Rita
