Re: Print ax banning unaccompanied children

The shop owner is loosing out both ways, Probably looked at as a bad shop because he wont deal with unaccompanied school children and youngsters also by the loss of a much needed sale or sales ?? I don't blame the shop I think they must be very upset at the behaviour of some of our youngsters ?? I k...

Re: Functioning Alcoholic

@lazy-bones thank you for your contribution and obviously AA was good for you. That said not everyone who drinks, and/or drinks to excess, is or will ever be an alcoholic. Most people can and do manage their alcohol intake and enjoy it and its social benefits etc. The OP asked for advice and AA is ...

Re: Functioning Alcoholic

Hi I am fast becoming a functioning alcoholic, alcohol dependent at the very least. Since returning to work full time (and more) in addition to my responsibilities as a wife and mother to two young children, wine has become my coping mechanism of "choice". Now it's not that I'm turning to...

Re: Functioning Alcoholic

Good morning
I hope the woman or anybody else who feels they might have a problem with alcohol realizes they are not alone! That their is help available if they have the courage to ask.

Re: Functioning Alcoholic

why the anger? There is no need to shoot me down here.. what works for some might not work for others. Every person has their way. If AA is the only way for you, if that's where you're at, great. Comparing myself to Best or Gasgoine is not where I'm at. Let's put things in perspective. Be gentle wi...

Re: Functioning Alcoholic

Yes that is great. I reckon an activity and a conscious effort to monitor how much you drink is the way forward. Trust me if I want a drink I will have one, knitting or not. The diary keeps me more motivated:) This is called the Paul Gascoigne & George Best method? Its the 1st Drink that does t...

Re: Mum almost mugged in Earlsfield warning!

In today's society we should all carry a personal security device like a mobile phone with a built in camera/video recorder that sends immediate recordings to our email addresses all at a touch of a single button? This will record the time date and identify possible offenders even if they manage ste...
