There's a normal waiting for you, it's just not the same normal you thought you once had. I promise you can find an even keel again, and setbacks like this do happen along the way (I've had mine too). You can't just deprogram your behaviour overnight, and sometimes it's specifically when you think you're doing well that it suddenly hits you out of nowhere. I'm not saying it's complacency (though it was for me) but you get what I mean - there's not always a rhyme or reason to this stuff. I can't remember if I said it last time or not but I found SMART Recovery really helpful. None of that "admitted I was helpless and surrendered myself to a higher power" stuff you get with AA, but rational, evidence-based, analytical approaches to working out your triggers and behaviours and things you might not realise about yourself. Pop your postcode in here and get yourself along to something in person (or online if you prefer): https://smartrecovery.org.uk/about-smart-recovery-meetings/ Start talking about it and keep digging, it feels egotistical and a bit weird but there'll be things you figure out about yourself that'll help you. And whether you go down that route or just keep sharing on here and figuring it out yourself, best of luck, you know we're all thinking of you and hoping for only the best.

Tbf, this is how wykiki reviews blow jobs.

FYP

Sorry to hear this Renton but don’t blame yourself & use your incredible work as a reference point! It’s very easy to relapse and very hard to quit but you’ll 100% be able to get back to where you were & use the negative experience to help you navigate going forward. I’m using an app at the moment called “I am Sober” and it tracks the days, money saved, calories saved etc - so once you see a data breakdown it can be really helpful. Though I was able to have decent breaks I wasn’t drinking responsibly & it was negatively affecting those around me and there was no worse feeling than discovering you ruined someones night because they were worried about you getting wrecked before you’ve even poured a drink. I used music as something to focus on and put my energy into and im 13 months now. I know lots of lads on the same path who’ve relapsed too, its easy to do especially if you’ve been dipping in and out of it. Previously I’d got to a month or so before deciding to have a blast at the drink but it wasn’t worth it. You just have to start again.

NUFC sign a lass from the mackems for the lasses team: NUFC fans: MLFs:

Joelinton was a striker.

Neither does wor lass, but 😑

When I’ve seen the lasses play the existing keeper was, to put it kindly, one of the ones who might struggle to keep their place as the team progresses.

Well I guess we can rule out you being Deano then.

This poor cunt.

Roy Keane when England score is hilarious. Just turns away from the screen, and you know he's thinking "Jaysus these cunts will be insufferable now so they will."

It's all making sense now..... Absolutely, fucking mental on there. They can all link their DNA to the great Abby Normal from Young Frankenstein.

They’re also simultaneously convincing themselves this has huge ramifications whilst getting annoyed about Look North covering it

CT will sharp change his tune when she sets up a rival mug store on Etsy.

She brokers deals but doesn’t have anything like the sort of cash needed for serious investment is my take. I hope she’s made a tidy sum out of it all as she was a huge part of making it happen

Massive grattitude to those two for what they've done. We have been allowed to dream again. They both seemed massively emotionally invested in the project so its a bit of a surprise.

Not to overuse cliches but you're on a long road and you've just taken a step back. You're not back to the start again. You've come a long way from where you were, remember that. You're a good lad, Renton. It's not easy but you will be okay again.

What's Wyki's Mrs up to these days?

Clearly ohhh_yeah’s divorce isn’t going so well. You should be able to relate.

I mean she was funny in Derry Girls but still

looks like the kind of movie you see for sale on DVD at the checkout aisle at a garden centre.

You can get to fuck with your reverse psychology shite

Game's crying out for some pace. I don't suppose we've got any on the bench.

Could it be because she is ill and has to start stepping away from stressful positions?

Don't worry, Marseille are ready to cough up 27m for Greenwood and Saudi will probably buy Casemiro for 75m. Chelsea last season all over again.

Speaking of which, there’s already a 10 page thread on RTG with them jumping to all sorts of conclusions and making out we’ll all be devastated

Aye, that's my take on this, needing the cash. Wasn't she ordered to pay some Greek shipping magnate recently?

In a hold-all

Hate the disease, not yourself. You've had a stumble, that's all. I think the realisation that you can't drink just a little bit is probably right. But this stumble was the only way for you to learn that. Now you know, and you're better armed for it not to happen again. Good luck and stick around on here so we know you're alright.

You’ve just had a relapse, mate. It doesn’t negate all the progress you’ve made previously

Starring Princess Lay-her.

Imagine…

Gloom. Whispering words of wisdom

let it be ffs

£200 allowing for inflation and Twat Tax

Deano Still owes the SBRF £50 iirc

Ono she won't
