I drank alcohol yesterday afternoon and had a nice time. I day-drink because drinking too close to bedtime meds gives me insomnia. I'm just an occasional drinker and find it a good emotional purgative. I had tried every other coping technique i know and nothing worked so finally i decided to take a few drinks and it did the trick. My anger is gone and i feel back to my humble self. I've asked for my two hostile threads i wrote while so angry to be deleted as they don't represent how i truly feel. That was just a case of temporary aberration brought on by my anger. Thanks for putting up with me everyone and i look forward to more pleasant days ahead here on the forum.

@Soupe du jour:

If you would write me a little about your obstacle re studying the Czech language perhaps i could be of help. I've had a rocking good time studying French and German. Perhaps if we discussed it, it could help you move past your block. If you don't care to, that's fine. It's certainly up to you. You sound happy in your new situation and if learning the language is not necessary, you know yourself best. Just trying to be of service.
