belle - well done and hold on in there.
lou - will go look the now at your sledge.
asbm - brave of what? admitting i have an alcohol demon?... or something else?.. if its the alcohol thing.. i'm first to admit i have problems.. thats how i overcame them and can control it. in many ways the dc dad although was controlling... i grabbed being with him at the time we got together as i was slipping down a terrible path... thank god for my kids too... they give me a reason not to.
do you guys remember early on i said there was things about riish i thought would make us a bad combination. well thats what i was talking about... like kdk i would go missing... or "awol"... i was known for it that it actually spurred a nickname... i still do it occasionally to give the demon a wee bit of freedom or otherwise i end really very crabby and horrible to be around.
but... before i had kids... i could go on benders for whole weeks! .. still turning up to work canned. never lost jobs as i always turned up.
kdk - i still do the thing of disappearing for 24 hrs into a bottle that u used to do... thats me behaving ... but i've been limiting it to once a month. but with irish it was every wkd..
with dc dad... i was tee total almost for 4 years. but i was so miserable not being allowed out.
as ninah says... its the balance i'm looking for. someone who's responsible... yet is willing to occasionally let our hair down. i've had serious relationship with 2 fellas before who were great for this.. but they are hard to find
sponge - if he wants to be friends he obviously thinks you are a great person and loves your personality. you said yourself their was no spark. so it's no loss. at end of day you had a nice night out with some nice company... thats the aim of the game.. get some practice in for meeting the guy you really click with.. stay friends if you actually want a friend. if you dont then dont bother.
