Great game last night athensdawg. I hope they can rise above their loss in the SEC game and beat Alabama for the natty. Florida did that exact thing in 96. Beat FSU for the natty after loosing to them earlier in the Sunshine Showdown. I remember the intensity of those games, even some specific plays, and the hangovers that always followed them. No hangovers now though.

New Year's not off to the best start. I slept through my alarm but woke up at 6:30am, made a healthy breakfast and cleaned up, brushed my teeth and applied sunscreen, went for a 4km walk, meditated for 11 minutes (yesterday 10mins, I'm gradually increasing). But then my brain was like "you should take ativan and go for.a nap", which I did. Now I'm lying in bed drinking Pepsi max and vaping, all hopes of a productive Jan 1st out the window. I'm having dinner shortly. I'll try and get my mojo back then.

Happy New Year Everyone!
Fell asleep right before midnight, woke up to my neighbors fireworks(thankfully my dog doesn't care about booms) and fell back asleep around 2:00AM. What a crazy night-LOL. Off to a sober start to 2021, yay!

Happy New Year's everyone! Took my first nap of the new year. How different that is from the 'nap' I used to take when I'd pass out after drinking all morning. 
Come to a few hours later with awful anxiety and the shakes really bad.
So glad those days are gone...

Happy New Year to all at SR. Unfortunately the last few days have been hell for me. I am an executor of my father's will and he's left a hideous will by cutting out people and writing some choice things in the will. The rubbish has now hit the fan as his flat (apartment) was sold last week and I'm expected to carry out something which is causing auguments and recriminations. And guess who is getting it all? Me. I ended up drinking three days ago after months of being sober. I'm absolutely fed up and am getting no support from anyone.
I've stopped drinking in case anyone is worried about me as yesterday I felt suicidal. I'm not going to do anything stupid but my father has left me to clean up his mess. He didn't leave anything to my sisters or myself which has caused no end of problems. I personally couldn't care less that he didn't leave me anything, he wasn't a nice person. However one of my sisters has taken it very badly and it's me who is getting it in the neck. Also one of the beneficiaries owed my father some money and I'm expected to deduct from his inheritance what was owed. The beneficiary has already tried to kill himself before and this will probably kill him off. I wanted to ignore that bit but other beneficiaries have threatened legal action against me if I do this.
Sorry to post such a negative thing but I have no-one else to talk to. I feel like packing a bag and getting out of where I live as the next few weeks are going to be nothing but trouble. As i posted I'm not going to harm myself but I need to get somewhere where I can feel safe. My friends in London have offered to put me up for a few weeks but that isn't a long term solution. I feel like I've lost my family and it's all down to my father. When he was alive he often tried to split me from everyone and it looks like in death he has done this.
