Leshar please don't Rod is a massive A-hole I know your down but after all this time he texts you NOW !?!?!?
Im just going to go ahead and say it but if that's how someone treated my mum I'd put him upside down in a trashcan (see I still do my bit for the environment lol)
But in all seriousness Leshar & I say this as a loving friend that he ain't good enough for you not by a country mile
I found this sober dating thing in Canada see what you think

Sweet Leshar, relationship advice is really far from my forte.
But . . .
My gut tells me that you shouldn't reply. He had a lot of nerve to treat you the way he did; he doesn't deserve someone as great as you.

Leigh, you're very kind. I haven't responded and probably won't. I just wish he hadn't texted and had left me alone. But it's that nice girl conditioning that I can't seem to get away from, like it's not polite to just ignore him. Daft, eh?

I say he really upset you and I care about you and I'd hate him to think he could barge back in. My daughter is going through a similar thing.

Night Dee 
Off to bed for me . Holly & her boyfriend have been playing monopoly and laughing away tonight I love being sober. Their laughter is music to my ears :-)
She is back home to sleep tonight. Sometimes I really think there must be a guardian angel looking after me. Shaun went back to work tonight & Holly returns home. Had Shaun not hurt his eye and had the week off , I possibly could have drank .
I had contemplated the idea before Holly left , thinking there was a window of drinking I could get away with , without them knowing.
So with that little coincidence I have come through even stronger and have had no cravings at all.
Feeling blessed & feeling like a good Mum again :-) it's soooooo worth it xx
Life is good xxx

Key I can relate. Never have been good with criticism. Always feels like a personal attack. Being in the service industry i got some bad reviews yesterday. Cant make everyone happy. It feels personal but its not. Serenity because i can only control so much. I truly believe that also. Its not a cop out. Its frustating but we all have to accept it. I also take thing personal or misinterpret them. All we can is try to improve everyday. I am with ya key. I would love to pm anytime.

Feel better soon, Wolfie.
I found an almost full bottle of Drambuie in a cooler in the basement when I was clearing out today. Larry and I used to drink Drambuie when we travelled, an evening tipple. I have no recollection of buying the bottle or drinking what I drank out of it, but it went down the sink. I feel pretty angry these days, which isn't like me. Angry at my lot in life, angry that I can't drink and carouse with my siblings at the wedding. I know I have to work a lot on acceptance, it still seems so hard after two years. When will this bloody depression ever end? I want joy back in my life, I want to be useful and valued, instead of loosing friends and family through quitting.

I'm glad the real Snoozy is taking control 
Sorry you're in a funk Key - hope you feel a little better now
same goes to you SW and Let
Hiya Crois, Bob Leigh and Ladybug
and Leshar - I'm really sorry that things have been so hard for you for so long. I hope the CBT might help - I did some of that in an informal way and it really helped me with my perspective and outlook.
I was always a positive happy kid despite everything and alcohol and drugs took that away from me - it took me a long time to reclaim my happiness but I'm glad I persevered. You will be too - I really believe that.
don't give up
