My brother phoned me today which was good. We had a really good conversation. I had been really pissed off with him bcos of his lack of contact but today made up for it. I still haven't drunk alcohol, it's been 9 days but I'm struggling to stop smoking. I'm also not good with too much time on my hands with nothing to do or self motivation. Looking forward to Friday because im going to meet a new recovery group. New people.

@Survivor3 I’m glad you were able to talk with your brother. You should be really proud of yourself for not drinking for 9 days. Smoking is a hard thing to stop. When I quit I found a web site that had other people who were quitting and we supported each other. I can’t remember what the site was but it had chat groups and forums for different stages of the cessation program.
That is really great that you are meeting with people friday I am happy for you. I miss talking with you in chat. The other space works like our old one did. Still anonymous and everything. But, easier and not as open as this space here.

do you mean the disposable chat link that future focussed put up?

I miss talking with you in chat also @Invisible Fire, but this will have to do now. Also I don't like having to constantly refresh the screen to see people's replies.

 

[Invisible Fire]

Yes @Survivor3

@Survivor3 , apologies for late reply , my phone battery went so had to charge. A friend of mine had a heart attack a while ago and she really struggled initially with the shock - she saw a pyschologist to talk thru her worries etc ... is this something you could do? Is the group in friday in relation to the heart attack?

no it's just a mental health recovery group that tries to bring people together to help them get out of isolation. I'm having aftercare from a different hospital. Had one phone call yesterday and a phone assessment next monday. I might be able to resume my counselling next month.

I hinted to a close friend today that I'd love to be invited over for puzzles and Scrabble. She didn't seem to get it. I would love to invite her, but all my tables are too cluttered to play games or do puzzles on.

I hope the Friday session goes well. I see that you’re stopping smoking , that must be tough but i suppose it will support improved physical health. Ive never smoked , im always wanting to loose weight and stop eating crisps and thats tough so i cant imagine trying to stop smoking ! I wish you a speedy recovery x

That's a shame that she didn't take the hint. Can you be more direct and ask her?

Thanks @Missycat . They say that nicotine is harder to quit than heroin.
