Aha a wine dealer. That's a good business model if I ever saw one!

I'm sure your experiences can help us, kinetic any words of wisdom from someone who has been clean for a year are gratefully received...

serial hope you've recovered from your very long marathon pub lunch yesterday Smile

ZiggertyZaggerty · 12/03/2017 11:12

Thanks Lost. Firmly back on the board today and not feeling too bad just the usual morning-after guilt. Looking forward to a quiet family day, roast lamb then a hot bath and Call the Midwife. I might take inspiration from you and try to do my nailsSmileCompletely different than last night.
Hi Kinetic Wow! Still a full bag from the night before - that's fantastic - you must be very chuffed with yourself. Good to have you on board Smile

ZiggertyZaggerty · 12/03/2017 11:13

Umm - not sure why half my post is crossed out Hmm!!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/03/2017 11:19

Sounds like a lovely Sunday planned, Zig.
a hot bath and then call the midwife .. I hope you mean the programme? Grin he he

ZiggertyZaggerty · 12/03/2017 11:24

Hahaha Grin Lost that really made me chuckle!! What a weekend that would've been Confused Hope you are also having a relaxing day x

I'm okay - not long up and now cooking breakfast. I follow loads of cleaning mad/house proud people on instagram and I'm looking at all their pictures of what they've been doing this morning. And feeling incredibly guilty because I haven't achieved anything today.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/03/2017 12:31

Ah have a day off from cleaning Witty Smile I order you to have a lovely chilled out day!

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 12/03/2017 12:36

I wonder how cleaning and flat are doing, snow how are you doing today?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 12/03/2017 12:45

got a stack of cleaning to do and really can't summon the energy!!

INeedAWittyNameChange · 12/03/2017 13:14

I don't do chilling very well. Have never been very good at sitting back and relaxing. Feel like I'll go into work on Monday morning and everyone will somehow know that my house isn't immaculate.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 12/03/2017 13:31

I have made myself a fried egg sandwich and a coffee. After this I am going to:
Empty dishwasher
Wash uniform
Change DD bed

Maybe if I tell you lot you will nag me to get my butt into gear!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/03/2017 13:38

Bless you Witty. I get it, I feel more in control if I've got the house in order, I can't stand that chaotic feeling. Maybe it's something to do with the guilt of taking drugs? I try not to analyse it too much!

It feels good to write a to do list, Pickle and then cross things off. You can cross off sandwich and coffee so that's a start!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/03/2017 13:42

I had a look at the cocaine overdose thread this morning and the good news is Op is feeling much better today Smile
It's certainly a grim reminder of how dangerous cocaine can be, for body and mind.

I know lost. Thinking I'd od'd in November was so scary. Never want to feel like that again.

Dark times serial!
I've definitely had my far share of drug related dark moments, even shitting myself that I'd completely fucked up my heart, I'm pretty sure my mad sinus headaches are related..Yet still I go back to it. My old friend coke.

No fool like an old fool eh? Feel quite depressed thinking about it Confused

Inarightpickleandchutney · 12/03/2017 17:17

You all are fabulous, and supporting each other here is great.

I've done the dishwasher and put on some washing so far... May need further cuppa!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/03/2017 17:19

Sorry, I went on a poor me trip there! Thank God I've got you guys to keep my head straight.

serialtester · 12/03/2017 17:20

And lost, you've been on the surfboard all weekend - well done!!!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/03/2017 17:21

Great progress, Pickle Wink

I've cleaned the public areas of the house and now cajoling the teens into homework..no easy feat!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/03/2017 17:27

Yep, nearly two weeks now on the old surfboard for me. Sometimes I just look back with massive regret though at the decisions I've made but won't dwell too much!
Now cooking a pizza and cracking open a lager. Classy.

serialtester · 12/03/2017 17:41

I bloody love lager.
