Re: Sleeping too much

aww ..that's sweet of you @Former-Member re music ..it helps to hear things back.. I do harp on the 'lifes unfair' thing ..often .. in my head mostly, while I don't do much myself to change or accept things.. create them morelike.. and yeah, re health, it's become a bugbear over the last week especially, had to go to bed early as felt ill while attempting friday drinks, well my drinks usually have more days than friday. after being a bit silly last sunday, than wagon for four days ended up drinking 1/4 of what usually do yest, didn't enjoy it and went to bed. yes re oneway streets, am shellfish, soz. And nice re thoughts.

Morning @TAB, 🙆...don't know..a male thing. Re. Your self infliction!...not sure, I've known many an alcoholic, & all the justifications for being so...
..I know my chest is heavy again...my dad told me, I was always with a weaker chest...he's gone..I'm hoping he brings me some answers this week.
I'm scraping the barrell on wether I Care to fix my own problems ....he knew my moods!

Re: Sleeping too much

yes, backwards justification par for the course @Former-Member, sure women do it too, prob less prevalent and in different ways and perhaps not usually quite so isolated as your classic old male p.head haha, yeah, don't always have to fix things if things going 'ok' it's just when it 'bites' you. yeah chicken and egg do I drink cos am nuts or does it make me nuts or does it really matter how or why? It's how I thought I could deal with life at age 14, and have rarely looked back, ergo more isolation, hard, ridiculous jobs, lots money sometimes, yet end up directionless ..in a caravan park, not wanting to go out the door..

Yep women too, known both from am early age.
The classic adage...don't fix what's not broken!
..sigh..I think male's (and yep female's)..look for mentors when young...finding alcohol is a fun 'confidence' stimulant...that is easy,accessible, socially acceptable...to easy to ✅✅✅ boxes with.
And when young invincibility is a middle name!
A whole heap of stuff....heard many a male say same as you sunshine! Lol
...I broke down in car one morning to work, this biker dude pulled over to help, ...instant familiarity,relief...but if it had been Mr.Slick I'd have been on guard...perhaps I learnt familiarity with certain kinds...
Rambling...😊😁

..yeah @Former-Member it's like hey had a couple its not working maybe takes more, or thought I had a good time last time so repeat circumstances .. haha ..maybe 'mr slick' is your knight, so avoid and the bikie guy is comfort zone ..who knows but deep for 5am here, well I went to bed super early lol, and if getting dragged out of aloneness 'comfortzone' by 'frenemy' had any benefits, it was to remind me what I Hadn't been doing during week, ie chasing work ..maybe he is concerned .. on some level ..well there's not much to him, and days like yest, in less 'ebulllient' modes, I leave his 'buttons' alone, not like usually .. still, his special effort at some 'super dooper' flash beer, was, well, terrible, wouldn't drink it again if paid me to, it was supposedly upmarket version of a good one, was terrible.. inbetween crap drinks and meeting chemist who stuffed up my prescription weeks ago(why does a pharmacist live in a $120 a week boarding house, and drive a beat up hail damaged old magna..hmm) and super inquistive, opinionated father of another boarder who rolled up waiting for son sorta topped it off ..wasn't in the mood for sharing with strangers, re conve yest,,, was glad to leave

Re: Sleeping too much

was funny @Former-Member, he decided to inflict his new mate on me with their one note conv about MMA wtf is there anything in the world that I care less about lol, but it changed up to finance and politics re his new bud, and he got left badly behind, oh, I wasn't exactly trying to be inclusive, well he lamely came back with wrong concepts of stuff after big pauses then reverted to mma speak ..was a change talking to humans, well better to do that at pub when can distract/move away etc, was a bit trapped but more than held my own after slow start and was glad to leave
