Bright Eye

Afternoon. Well I’ve had a productive day. I had a zoom interview and got offered job, support worker, giving relatives who are full time carers a break by looking after the cares for person. I’ve applied for a few more that I’ve not heard back from yet so still keeping my options open but v happy I...

Yep lockdown in crap weather and dark nights is different to lockdown in summer Mr T. Dog walks and road running are keeping me sane though still struggling with fatigue which I am guessing is a leftover from having Covid the other week. Every day is just blurring into one. BUT I remain sober for no...

Morning! Just saying hello, Mr T you sound lies you’ve cracked this drinking malarkey, bloody well done!!! This is my fifth week of no drink so hoping I may be making some progress too but we’ll see as I know what I’m like. I do think giving up my job has made quite a difference, I think maybe I und...

Morning bizzy. I watched the queens gambit and haunting if hill house.
Everyone seems to be on about this Bridgerton right now.

Look for a new job

Morning all. I second (or third?) what seren and bizzy say, you are a beautiful soul deb. Bizzy, will be so much easier to do a dry jan if your mates are doing it. Don’t think any of mine are interested in giving up the booze anytime soon so it’s probably a blessing I can’t see them for now. This mo...

Morning and happy new year groupies? What did everyone do or is that a stupid question at the mo as we actually can’t do anything anyway. I was asleep before midnight, so bloody tired with this shitty virus but other than that and achey and mucusy (sorry TMI) I’m not too bad so far so grateful for t...

Sorry to hear of your friend bizzy 😞 Mum is ok deb, so glad now she didn’t come for Xmas. I’m feeling v bad also as I went for smear test earlier in the week when I prob had It. Obv we both had masks, hand sanitised and she obv wore gloves. I let surgery know so now the nurse has to do test, I’m pre...

Morning, hi deb <:)> Well I have the dreaded virus, daughters and I had test test at 9.30am and got positive result texted to us about 9.30 last night, can’t fault the local test site efficiency to be fair. Youngest daughters test actually came back inaccurate so she obviously didn’t do it properly ...

Oh and LBNS, the three spirit. I really enjoyed the taste, quite herby. I did it like a pornstar martini with passion fruit and a bit of nosecco, it was nice. I think it gave me a mild ‘buzz’ but nothing amazing and nowhere near a feeling of being drunk or tipsy and I had no urge to drink alcohol. I...

Morning tad and seren. Good to ‘see’ you tad and that things are going well though you sound a bit anxious, maybe just go with the flow and try not to over think things. Something I’m very much guilty of doing all the time. Nearly 3 weeks AF here but as usual one day at a time and don’t get complace...

Just checking in to say morning and hope all had a lovely and sober (ish) Xmas xxx

Just popped in to say merry Xmas lovely groupies. Sober and hangover free today thank god. I have bought some of this Three Spirit drink which is made of plants and supposed to give you a bit of a natural high, whether that’s a good idea or whether it actually works remains to be seen but hey ho, I’...

Hello Mr T, have a good one yourself! All ok here other than daughters boyfriend has tested positive for the dreaded lurch and he’s been staying with her before the tier 4 came in 😳 so looks like at the very least she’s going to have to stay in her room over Xmas and not mingle with us unless of cou...

Hello Xmas groupies. Well my region is now tier 4 and I’m still at mums which I believe is still tier 2. Hoping I dint get stopped on the way home tomorrow but I’ll say mum is in my bubble and she’s isolated and vulnerable and I was making sure she was stocked up for Xmas, which isn’t strictly true ...

Morning all. A grand is nice deb! Spend wisely! Actually don’t 😂 Missed my smear yesterday, rolled up to the docs at 3 when I’d convinced myself it was, just as I got to the door, text on my phone saying I’d missed my appointment at 2.40 🙄 so now Re booked in the 29th. I’m useless. I’m off to mums t...

Morning all, just checking in. Hi deb <:)> A medical day ahead, going to get bloods done and smear test 🙄 as hopefully if all ok I can start in the hrt v soon which I’m hoping will help with my mental health. And opticians. I’ll fit in a gym visit and dog walk Costco was very intetesting, mulberry h...

Morning all. Our Xmas tree has been up since end of November seren 😂 Still plodding along here. No urges to drink at all which I’m grateful for but taking it day by day. I’ve been feeling quite calm and content past couple of days so I don’t know if that’s the new anti depressant though I don’t thin...

Just about to go to sleep but lovely and kind words from you as usual deb xxxx

Evening all. Things se to be settling down somewhat, I hope! First gym sesh for about 3 weeks and wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. Thought I might keel over with the exertion. Now to do a CV as long term plan is to go back to social work if/when I’m confident my health is stable and drinking ...
