The Wibble returns
 

Sexy people of SR Land, the Wibble has returned from exile.

Things I have learnt whilst in exile

1. Moderating my drinking is as effective and useful as moderating broken glass eating.

2. Denial does not sit comfortably with me

3. I will never achieve what I want to achieve in my life whilst I drink.

4. I don't like beetroot

Welcome back!

WElcome back....glad you are going to recapture your sobriety...:yup:

:lmao

Welcome back wibble :Dance7:

Get your butt back on our thread!!! ;)

I'd forgotten the nightmares

Waking up with a hangover is much worse. At least when you wake up the nightmare is over, when you wake up with a hangover it stays with you all day. It even follows you into the next day and the day after that, if you let it.

Very profound pix... how we feeling this morning? ;)

Oh you know, the usual fuzzy head, lack of concentration and an inability to get myself organised...usual day really :)

I can't remember how long the nightmares take to pass but I'm sure it wasn't that long? That and the night sweats are a bit uncomfortable for a few days. Then you sleep like a baby! Well thats how I remember it. Even with a broken nights sleep you still tend to feel better than you do after a drunken nights sleep.

It is good to have the residual mental and emotional capacity to learn. I hope you can capitalise on your experience to bring forth a productive and vibrant future for yourself. well done Wibble.

moderation will only work on dead alcohollics not us live ones. In the end it catches up with you like a deadly flood.

:a043:

Amen to that.

Moderation and denial sit so comfortably together...

You know...i've actually missed posting on here.

Never thought i'd say that.

I got so sick of the relentless repetition of Day 1 etc... but it wasn't the sites fault it was mine.

If i'd stayed sober I would have enjoyed it, it was only the fact that I was repeating my lies that caused me to have an issue.

Hi Wibble,

Welcome back. I love beetroot.

All the best
Cai Hong

I knew you missed us and I knew you'd be back :Dance7:

Its actually kinda surprised how bad I feel.

Terrible nights sleep then woke up with my entire body feeling beaten. Back is so sore. I can feel my liver and kidneys trying to break free.

I know all I can do is give it time, there is no magic fix here.

I'm upbeat though, its been a beautiful day.

Caihong, beetroot is just wrong... :)

I grew some in my garden this year, convinced if I grew it and took the trouble to nurture it I would enjoy it.

Guess what?

It all died.

There is a lesson in there folks.

A dark twisted evil lesson

But still a lesson...


Pixy are you on the lash?

Love the profile pic :) Welcome back

I like beetroot. I once had a friend that used to eat beetroot sandwiches. It's very good for you but stains the kitchen work top and your fingers.

What's your definition of being on the Lash?

I can't get out of a prior engagement on wed. I'd set myself up for a fall if I pretended otherwise.

Day1 will be Thursday.

On the lash would mean drinking.

Drinking whilst posting on here would seem a tad ironic?

Sorry Pixy, don't mean to be on your case but I care about you and certain things are troubling me.

Awful nights sleep again, strangely feel a little better this morning though.

Just give it time...give it time

Already started with random thoughts about what about Xmas...what about this or that...

FFS 3 days in and I already start with the nonsense. I impress myself.

The denial and self loathing i've bathed in for the last period of my life isn't going to just leave me as easily as i'd perhaps wish.

The abstinence and binge drinking weekends I convinced myself were "normal" are not going to pass into history quite as soon as I'd hoped.

Jeez pix...even I knew what "on the lash" meant :rotfxko

Seriously Wibbles...You've got the self knowledge stuff down I think...then comes...well what's next....

It won't work forever, but in the early days sometimes it's about the stupid stuff like "don't drink if your ass falls off" or "the only drink I can't have is the first one"....

In the end it's change change change...but when the lies start piling on in our heads, fight as best you can to remember reality...maybe read some stuff people post here where when you tell them they are liying to themselves you realize you are starting to do the same thing...if that makes since.

Embarrassing story, but on target I think....when I quit in May part of what happened was I acatually majorly pulled my back from hurling every morning for days on end....Ended up was a blessing...I was unable to move much at all for a week...so couldn't get a bottle...took 5 more weeks to get my back back..but after a week off I was sorta ready to try again.

What is the difference between beets and beet root? I love beets!mmmmm
