Hi there everybody, Roads especially! Glad to see that most of us are going on OK.Outcast_of_Rgaol, good on you, when I read your message it was 4 days in and going well. I hope it's still the same now. Keep up the good work!!
Emgreen, that's rather special really don't you think? That young chap asking you to be a sponser. I'm not sure I'd be any good as I too don't go along with some of the 12 steps etc. However, I believe in going to meetings (even when clean some time) for support and the friends I've made there. Sorry. I too didn't know we weren't to mention AA, but I need to say that to reply properly,
Roads, thanks for your advice about the delightful Manx cat. I've never been to the Isle of Man!! I KNOW I'd like it as I used to work with a nice lady from the Island. Do you remember that huge Laxey Wheel???? It's the biggest in the UK and maybe Europe!! I certainly don't know about that tiny island what you saw for sale!! What a shame you didn't buy it, it would be worth an absolute mint by now, but what a fantastic holiday home!! I love reading your messages because you have a very interesting past PLUS you've had your battles over the years and you still do now my friend'
I'm 6 weeks into being clean from drink and OTC drugs. What a huge relief it is not to have to keep on going to the chemists for over the counter strong painkillers (my addiction) and drink, I had to hide the drink. I think it's 6 weeks, will have to look it up!!  The only thing I do NOT like is getting my appatite back. The drugs stopped me eating as they took away hunger pangs and the drink did the same. Anyways, HUGS and LOVES, as ever. XXXXXXXXXXXXX
