Exactly the same deal here. Fiver for a four-pack in some places, though sometimes only if you're known.

Fuck... life without everyday drinking is going to be a hard road. Oh well.

Well well done for coming this far. Careful with the things you say though Sam..it is what you say it is yer know...You're words there are setting you up for failure or at least a hard time.

Thanks. And I know there will be relapses along the way and that the slightest difficulty in life will test my resolve. I've seen it happen to somebody I loved year after year and it was terrible.

This time though, I'm tackling some of the underlying problems at long last, and though I know it'll be tricky I can see what I think is the sunlight on the surface of the water. Here's hoping.

You have to learn that you're worth looking after, and let that process of looking after yourself become a source of some of the sunlight. And that isn't a euphemism for masturbation. Far, far easier said than done, but if you can entertain the idea of liking yourself enough that you want good things to happen to you, and acknowledge that denying the pangs, cravings and temptations is part of a bigger picture of making life better, of a longer-term reward which will be greater than the quick fixes, then it's possible to get a kind of perverted buzz out of them. In my very limited experience. :D

edit: shit me, what a jumble
 
Hmmm, not quite that, I meant more that when you're in the right frame of mind, and obviously not overcome by physical wds from anything which will produce them, you can get a small boost from denying yourself the 'bad' tings you crave. Lots of small boosts add up.
 
I just bought a lamp shade for £2.59 it was £14.99 Whoop WhOOP.

I have Homebase nextdoor & they are either going out of business or moving cos they have shit loads of stuff reduced big time . If i go in their every other day for a couple of weeks i'll finish furnishing my flat .

Since about July, give or take the odd stumble. There was a pretty painful period of introspection which coincided with me vanishing from here for a bit. That was the turning point really.

A jumble? Maybe, but I get what you're saying.

I was an expert in self-deception and justifying my wretched lifestyle through twisted logic, as many people on here probably are or have been at some stage. But yeah, it's about looking after yourself, whereas I was kind of waiting for a Florence Nightingale type to recognise me as a doomed antihero and rescue me. Which isn't the way, and besides - it ain't gonna happen when you're basically a drunken, self-absorbed, misanthropic bore with blotchy skin and a bed full of empties. :D
 
You are that Florence Nightingale. Dresses and bonnet optional, but if they help then you may as well.

... I was just inspired to google 'sexy florence nightingale' and came up with some sordid fanfic from somebody who clearly has no idea about what nurses wore during the Crimean War. I quote:

'As much as he hated Halloween, he loved the Florence Nightingale outfit she had worn to the party. The high riding white dress with fluffy cherry red fringe showed off her upper thighs and sexy legs. The red high heals (sic, hilarious unintentional pun I guess) she wore accented the outfit perfectly and what made it even more sexy was that he knew that under that dress she was wearing the lacy red bra and panties he had bought for her.'

LOL

Why have I never done that before? :D

Yeah, I think the guy should've done his research. Though in the right light and some contemporary clobber our Florence would probably scrub up well after a kind of dark, smouldering fashion.
 
Florence played a big role in the development of statistics & graphs. She & MSB would have been a match made in heaven.

I don't like to credit Spade much but i think it was he who posted this quote Sam - it's very true. Good luck with your endeavours.

“Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words. Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions. Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits. Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character. Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny”

I'll remind you to keep snooing if you remind me :)

Maybe. She might need to brush up on her round-the-clock EADD lurking skills, though that legendary bedside manner could only be a good influence. And she must've had a lot of patience when it came to incessant whinging.

Deal. ;)
 
I love that quote BAW it really confirms a lot of thoughts i've been having this about the power of words funnily enough. I think the words you use and send out can create your reality.. so if you say something like ' oh i'm doing a test tomorrow its going to be really difficult' it will be. Its like the universe brings itself in to agreement with the things you say.


Jans right you've got your own inner Florence.


Its not really on to slag off MSB when he cant respond is it? Hes probably frothing at the mouth now.
