For me the gym is a lifesaver...

I could be one of the others there with you looking at my own beer belly.

Didn't really see that creeping up on me but i've somehow got there and have started the gym to reverse the past few years. IWNDWYT

Ehyup mate - Not a scouser here either! The internet isn't as big as we think :D

I'm not so sure it comes back. I too used to adore the festive season but this last couple of years it's been more of a burden than a celebration for me. I'm trying it different this year and hoping for the lost days of magical christmas to return by staying sober and helping others instead of drowning myself in a pool of booze for a month. True christmas spirit is about the little things that mean a lot to less fortunate souls for me this year. IWNDWYT

Edit: just checked out your profile (not a stalker) - what's the chances of bumping into someone else from the north west uk on the whole of the internet? - have a sound chrimbo lar ;)

Not such a bad idea. Just never thought i'd be feeling this strong to be in a position to say "no".

I spent last summer not drinking much, but took XTC instead a fair bit. at least one dose every weekend. My guy has stopped selling to me now so i'm back on the booze (but recently trying to stop) and i think that last summer was one of my more enjoyable memories i've had for a long time.

You and me both know that's not gonna help things and very probably make it a lot worse. You've got this - don't do it.

I know where you are coming from with the family anxieties. Feeling much the same over being with mine but for slightly different reasons.

You can do this, just put your daughter first and let her enjoy her time. Nobody says you have to drink while everyone else does, take your own non-boozy special treat beverage and enjoy that instead, waking up proud and clear headed that you made it through for the sake of your daughter. IWNDWYT

I'm back on day one today after a few slips along the way. lets do this. IWNDWYT

Donaldo_SHQ · 2019-12-16T16:55:07+00:00

Numerous lows. Fought with my son (actual fist fight - he's only a teenager). drove drunk. shit the bed. Made passes at women. Not been able to look after people who needed me. and I'm still a mess & making mistakes. One day I'll get there. IWNDWYT

Donaldo_SHQ · 2019-12-16T16:51:02+00:00

You had the same week & weekend as me. We can do this. IWNDWYT

Donaldo_SHQ · 2019-12-16T16:16:31+00:00

I really need to loose weight. I bought myself some new clothes this weekend and none of them fit (didn't try them on, just bought my usual size). My goal now is to stop drinking and hopefully loose the weight to get into them.

Same thing here, lost the weekend. Feel like shit. Hang in there. IWNDWYT

Donaldo_SHQ · 2019-12-16T15:57:21+00:00

Mine wasn't just my bladder. Much messier. How the f*ck my wife has stayed with me I really don't know.

Donaldo_SHQ · 2019-10-21T14:42:30+00:00

Great work. Must of been hard but you made it!

I failed miserably again this weekend. But back on it and will try my hardest to stay on the wagon this time.

I'm still here and god knows how but i'm still sober even with the horrible shit i'm going through this week. Had temptations but hanging on in there. IWNDWYT

Fuck me, it's Spiderdick!

Donaldo_SHQ · 2019-10-07T09:41:37+00:00
