I managed to function at work like a productive employee and only had half a dozen meltdowns today, three of which weren’t at work so that’s a good start 
I’m learning to surf the waves of grief, like I’m learning to surf the urges to drink... . I’m wondering if I might like to learn how to actually surf on real ocean waves... hmm might be an interesting idea to follow up on. I’ve always admired people who could surf
I’m 50 and have never been on a surf board but I’m fairly fit and flexible and have pretty good balance from regular yoga classes, so maybe I could learn to ride a surf board

Plus we have fun and understand each other. Then there are the awesome pictures....Mesa, Vinny
So I bet there are SO MANY MORE awesome threads Willow darling.....just don't tell me about them.

Morning all!
Congrats and welcome Tyne!!
(((((willow))))- I am truly admiring you more and more everyday how you are handling this. Much respect to you friend.
Gil- yes all the designer booze! I watch Bar Rescue every once in a while and some of their cocktails sound soooo good. than I see the price per glass and can't believe people pay that much for 2 ounces of poison.

Nice one badge.
Wow! I hadn't realised London stupidity had gone global. Normal priced beer comes in at about £5.50 - £6. I often hear some anguish from visiting football supporters when they find a "round" costing £40. London is such a rip-off at times. Phoenix, gin seems to be making a comeback here too. Hey ho.

Ten weeks on, I am home. I've been playing video games and listening to music today. My flat is nice and clean, I am nice and clean. I feel great and I've been working out a sensible financial budget as opposed to just blowing every penny I had on drink.
I have food in the freezer, all my bills are paid, in fact I've even upgraded a couple of packages I had. I need genuine entertainment, not just spend my days in a drunken stupor.
You guys have been a real help throughout this ongoing journey. Yes, I still have my problems, but I am facing them and dealing with them, not just hiding from them at the bottom of a bottle.
Thanks SR.

Just heard from a friend of mine, her mother (73 yrs old) was visiting her sister in Texas when she went out for a walk by herself and was attacked and horribly mauled by 4-5 dogs. I guess she may lose her arm and lower leg. The horror that she must have felt not being able to fight them off! It absolutely blows my mind. thankfully a passerby found her, not sure if the dogs were gone or what. she is in for a long hospital stay for sure.
