Hi there wender's. It is Saturday here. Getting hot now - summer. Always think how silly it is that people race off (I used to) to get a traditional xmas tree with fake snow etc- when it is often 100F on xmas day. Lots of really good posts. The upside to not drink- well write a list. I will no start on the downers. Just do not drink- it is not going to make stuff fun- usually the opposite.

this is an important weekend for me. Sunday I'll be sober 6 months. Also on Sunday If I chose to I'll face someone who really hurt me emotionally and I let him have it in some drunk text messages. I am not sure if I want to face him or not. I don't have too...but we probably will be running into each other sunday unless I avoid it. It's probably best to face it though. We'll see.

MidW- I think you have already identified this w/end as being a real trigger for you. What do you plan to do not to drink, apart from luck and sheer will power?

PhoenixJ- I will be busy all day and it won't be a drinking environment and if I do get upset I'll post here.

It's not worth drinking over. I don't even have to face the situation if I don't want too. I think I will though...I think I'll eventually end up having to run into this person...but I guess it doesn't have to be right now. Something to think about.

thanks.

Morning, I have just seen a group of volunteers picking up litter in Victoria Park this morning. It was not even daylight at the time. They really do a wonderful job, I must make sure they get a donation

Midwest congratulations on 6 months that is fantastic. I don't think that the person who hurt you deserves wasting much time on if you see them



VMan it sounds like the French equivalent of the naughty step, i expect it happens to lots of them

The seasonal decorations are in place at Saoutchik Towers.

I used to perfunctorily put the decorations out back when i was drinking, I live on my own in a small flat (apartment) and back then I did not want family or my few friends coming round as they would see me intoxicated so my Christmas decorations would just heighten my feelings of lonliness and hoplessness. I hated that world more than i can say

S&H

I'm sorry you are so much pain. I want you to feel better. If you are drinking now put the alcohol down and get some rest. If you are still thinking about hurting yourself you should call an ambulance for help.
Please take care.

S&H please seek help this is definitely not the answer - my Dad did exactly what you have tried and the pain some 17 years later for all of those he left behind is very hard to bear, please please seek help - I have also felt extremely desperate myself at times where the only solution seems to be the one you considered having gone through it with my dad theres no way I could transfer that pain to my family no matter how tough things are - please believe me when I say anything no matter what it is can be sorted out and mended with the right help - this is not the answer.

Please stop drinking and please seek help - we all care and we all want to hear from you.
