I’m a recovering alcoholic and I Have been off the booze now for probably two years though must admit I cannot remember the exact date I stopped. I use to be a heavy drinker, drinking up to 70 pints of Lager a week or up to 5 or 6 litre bottles of cider a session before usually passing out drunk. I did this for the best part of 10 years. I wasn’t like most Alcoholics in the sense I spread my drinking out over the day I drank my alcohol over two or three hours trying to drink as much as possible before passing out drunk and almost dying from Alcohol poisoning on numerous occasions in fact how I didn’t is a miracle. I wasn’t a drinker who had to have a drink as soon as I got up like many drinkers as long as I got it in through out the day though saying that there was many days when the first thing I did was drink. I didn’t have really bad shakes without it but did sweat a lot, I could function to a point until I got my drink, I suppose I was more a binge drinker. I think if I had carried on it would of got to the stage were I was shaking and needing it first thing, maybe my age helped only early 30’s when stopped this time and I did have other periods of sobriety. I don’t really know but I do know I was getting worse and it was getting longer to recover than before. To be honest I was still a mess losing friends, jobs, ending up in hospital and been arrested for drunken and disorderly or stealing booze. It really is no way to live. In the end I think I just had enough. I can’t say I will never drink again because I probably will at some point but at the moment I have no desire to drink, I have stopped or tried to stop before and was successful for periods of time but never for as long as i have currently. Although generally I have no desire to drink there are occasions when I think it would be nice to have a couple but generally those thoughts don’t last long were as in the beginning it probably was the only thing on my mind 24/7. life overall is better, quieter more relaxing, boring compared to my drinking days, does sometimes bother me I’m now getting old before my time as I generally don’t go out at all now and don’t have many friends. I do feel life is passing me by. It is hard at times looking at Facebook and seeing other people who I went to School with or whatever getting on with there jobs and going out etc and I don’t do it anymore. Life isn’t perfect but it is certainly better gone are the days of fear knowing I had done something stupid because of the booze but not remembering because I had a blackout and the guilt was terrible so I would drink again to forget it was a vicious circle. I do need to start going out more as I do feel I can go out without drinking were as in the beginning I couldn’t as temptation would of been too great. I’m generally happier even if it doesn’t sound like it but do need to get to next stage but it has been a long road and it takes time and at the moment CronaVirus and self isolation doesn’t help but it will pass eventually my goal is to start living a bit more again once it is all over. I could do with finding work again though that is difficult as I’m registered carer looking after Father who had a stroke 13 years ago and has dementia and my Grandma who is almost 93, though still fairly healthy for her age she still needs help and it can be hard. I probably need to look at something part time to begin with as full time would be impossible with commitments but will have to figure it out.

I see a super annoying member on the forum finally got banned. I say good fucking riddance.

Perhaps a twisted cunt will be somebody's sex problem in series three. I don't think they've done that one yet.

When they said "drug free", they didn't mean "off your meds".

I now declare that cup entries for the quarterfinals are officially open.

When a friend was a student nurse, she had a patient who was a neighbour of Bernard Cribbins - the old chap had no other friends or family but Bernard visited him regularly. When the patient died, Bernard sent the nurses a hamper to thank them for their care, but not of chocolates or flowers but of useful things that student nurses of the 1970s needed like tea bags, toiletries and tights. What a jolly good egg.

Yes, I have it. Yeah, there are the odd one or two here who I couldn't give two fucks about but I like Cat, he is a good un. I don't wish ill on people I like.

Anybody else on here teetotal and drug free? Any fellow straight edge homes want to discuss the perils of avoiding virtual pubs and how much better life is without the demon booze or drugs...

Well, aye Given the fact the others blame Crosby's undiplomatic actions over the last few years for nixing any chances of a reunion it's unlikely they'll respond too readily to his idea of a reunion now. Crosby does bang on about the lack of income recently, which surprises me a bit since the tonnage of cash they've raked in over the years seems to have left the rest of them financially solid. The man's drug habit was dealt with when he went to jail so Crosby's had decades of steady income from decent sales and steady touring.

I don't think there is any skill involved in this particular game. It's like playing the lottery with less money.

Pathetic prick hardly has any bite to it

Its nearly a decade since his wife killed herself and all the talk at the time was this could finish off Leslie as he "was in very frail health"...

There's a sun headline in that if your friend wants the quick cash.... 'Creepy Bernard Cribbin sent hampers of tights to nurses in the 1970s'

Just out of interest, were you a prick back when you were at school as well?

I'm not picking a fight with anyone in particular. I'm here to piss everybody off equally, I consider it my public duty to the forum to rub every cunt on here up the wrong way.

From Catherine Tate on Twitter when doing a Doctor Who live watch with half the cast of Doctor Who:

Brian Dennehy is indeed a hit for @CaptainChorizo who gets his fourth hit and marks off another category leaving him a boxer and a European Leader away from victory. However @time gets an eight hit his third in Dallas but doesn' get any more permutations in his one to win situation.

He would have been an interesting Godfrey!
