Well, we had Ben's review today with a room full of peeps. I got given homework!! AAAAGH! I let slip that I wasn't terribly keen on going out, so now every time Ben goes to school I have to go somewhere that scares me a bit too! OK, so popping into town for a coffee on my own at Costa Coffee sounds like a treat, doesn't it? But not to me!! I'm weird. If I see a lonely old chap eat...

Well, I've been quiet! Stupid, stupid fingers. Still, it's my own fault. The garden looks fabulous, but my fingers look like sausages lol!
1 week, 1 day no booze, and I feel so much better. I didn't realise how much harm I was doing myself mentally until I stopped.
I know Ben has to go back to school because it's a fear he HAS to conquer. I think 7 months of relentless trying...1 Recommendation10 Comments -
Losing that pressure to be something I'm not has been a life-saver this week. After taking Mike with me to the Dr and him promising to refer Dan back to the chest clinic, I went on my own with Dan and he would not refer him. Dan can't breathe lying down, can barely manage the stairs, never manages PE at school, and I know something is very wrong. For a child who has almost died twice, had...2 Recommendations13 Comments

I don't really know why, but I'm on the up again. After the nightmare mirtazepine experiment I felt ultra-crappo, and putting on 7 lb in a week hit me hard. While I was sleeping on and off for three days (I kid you not!!) I started auditting my life. I came up with a list of things I'd lost, things I'd gained and things which remained constant. So here goes:

Arial. There you go.
Yuck, just sneezed on the keyboard with a mouth full of cheese. That'll take some cleaning up.

I am sitting here, looking, no staring, at that cigarette i purposely saved from last sunday, when i became a recovering smoker. I 'm not sure why I kept it in the beginning, but now, it has become the focus of my "good voice" that speaks up to say that I don't need, nor do I want that disgusting cigarette. I look at that inanimate object, and realiz...1 Recommendation1 Comment
