I've started seeing someone about my drinking, which I think I really need (also, I'm posting this as my little self help book says I should let people know). Thus far it's only really scratched the surface. I think my main problem I can't picture myself not drinking, and the only enjoyment I'm getting out of life at the moment is getting drunk

I did a comment and it disappearded!

The jist was; go swimming, it'll make ye feel better.

That typo looks really stupid.

[robin_oliver]

I can't swim! (SURELY you already knew that.)

My dad's going to give me his bike for a bit tho. Are you up to anything before Wednesday? do you fancy dinner? and I can bring Henry and June, and steal The Trial.

I'm so sorry, I totally forgot, how awful of me.

Yes, how about tomorrow? I'm meeting Kittie for tea about 4, so hows about you come round 7ish?

[robin_oliver]

Sounds good. If my dad has brought the bike back from his work, I'll cycle over - or I'll just get the bus.

Good for you with addressing the drinking thing. Nobody in their right ming wants to end up looking like Pete Doherty :-S

I think sight is my most valued sense, actually. Can you imagine not being able to see to read?! That'd be my idea of hell. Mind you, I woud get a free golden retriever, so I guess it wouldn't be all bad...

Anyway. Hope you feel better soon. x

Cheers. I just hope I can stick it out. I've got a bad habit of giving up on things.

Of course, I wouldn't want to ever lose any of my senses (and if am to, it'll probably be my hearing), but not being able to read would be the last of my worries if I were blind; it would be soppy stuff like sunsets, flowers, sublime landscapes, etc. But anyway, let's hope it never happens *knocks on wood*.

that's great that you have recognised you have a problem (I mean, not GREAT, but is a positive thing, encouraging first step). are you going to cut out booze altogether? or just try and limit it to weekends n stuff? I find the idea of giving up on booze/other stuff altogether quite damn scary :/ I've quit weed, but that's about it. hmmm, if you need any support EVER me dear just let me know :) and of course you're welcome to pop round mine and Grant's ANY time. is our 3 year anniversary today and we're going for a meal, but if you fancy meeting us somewhere for an oj afterwards, let us know.
hope to see you soon hunny x x

Hey. I'm just bored in my hotel room and going through people's livejournals. How are you? How's the drinking going? I know what you mean. I had a huge drinking problem. Fittingly I'm sitting here with a glass of vodka at my side. I used to be completely wild and drank at least a bottle of spirits a day, went out every night and it landed me in hospital many times. Ironically it calmed down roundabout the time I moved into Lauriston Park, mostly due to the medication I'm on. I still need to drink now, having a bottle of wine or the equivalent a day but I don't get raging drunk anymore. That explains why you hardly ever see me in pubs and clubs. Too much temptation. It really kills your social life. Have you taken any steps to calm it? Learning how to handle it rather than cutting it out completely is probably the best thing to do. Also, when Adam insists that you go to the pub, just firmly put him down.
