Chiang Mai actually mate and I'll have you know sobriety is no picnic! The oil Thai massages are particularly difficult to cope with!
Are you in Mae Rim?
I always mentioned that about Suarez - you could see it on the pitch. Great point about Klopp being a similar leader.
He should have done similar during the penalty shoot-out in the cup final. I actually blame him for losing out on that because he tried to gee up the players with some shouting and stuff - usually I think penalty shoot-outs (just before they take place) - require some quiet time for each player that needs to take one so that he can control the nerves and gather his thoughts under such pressure. Instead when Klopp tried to motivate and encourage them - they probably took those penalties with more bravado and recklessness than taking a moment to think before placing their shots with the necessary power. It is the first penalty shoot out I think we have lost in ... what years ? very ironic under a German manager to say the least.
@Red Astaire what's the sketch with the gaff you're at? Do they let you have a spliff or do you have to declare jihad on everything?
No mate - It's total fucking Jihad. Even my aftershave got taken away from me when I arrived. Just to be on the safe side they also took my non alcoholic mouthwash.
Instant kick out caught with anything. You do get to make a shopping list every week and the Thai staff all go out and get it for you. My mad Aussie mate filled in his shopping form (crisps, chewing gum etc) got it signed off and before it got sent off to the Thai staff he added 'Fleshlight' and 'Lube' onto his list! HAHAHA! He had it for a few days before he got found out. He was going to get canned but in the end they let him off. We all reckon the cunt head of support took it for himself. 🙄
So what's the plan? How long you there? And then what? Come home and do all the big festivals, ruin yourself and go back? Or life of Buddhist monk from now on?
No mate - 2 More weeks of alcohol abstinence then it's back home. A mate has invited me over to a 'Hackney Squat Party' Apparently they play grime music and everyone is really friendly. Seems safe enough...
I bet it's an intervention and they'll sit you down and tell you that you need to go back on the drink.
Apparently it's got something to do with 'ice' - Slush Puppies maybe?
I wouldn't have a clue about any of that.
How long you been there? I remember some doctor telling me it takes about three months for a fucked liver to sort itself out so although my results were ok I did that then, that was about ten years ago though. I do a month off every six to give it half a chance and to shed some cargo. Currently in the middle of it, can't see it lasting past the the final though.
All in by the time I leave I'll have done two months drying out. Then it's back home to 3-4 AA meetings a week. Finding a sponsor and being aware of the slippery path to relapse by following the 12 steps. Luckily I have a good support group behind me and it helps to be honest. Nearly everyone that matters know the score with me and the sauce. if I want to avoid getting into a fight with alcohol best not to get in the ring with it. I'm cool with that. Mrs Astaire is cool with that. My mates are cool with that. My liver is deffo cool with that. Annoyingly my addicted voice is not cool with that. He'll come around eventually though. 😉
I dunno where you live but I got a cool mate who's big into all that AA stuff in Cheam I could introduce you to. Appreciate that London is fucking massive and this is probably no use whatsoever.
Thanks mate - I'll be going to loads of meetings at first and tapping into the fellowship. They are all very cool and not at all like I imagined. As in I thought there would be be loads of depressed old soaks sitting about moaning about how they miss happy hour. Couldn't be further from the truth.
Incidentally if anyone here has any questions about this stuff. I'm happy to advise as best as I can. Feel free to PM me whenever you want. 🙂
Good luck with it mate, hope it goes well & I'm sure you'll be better off for it. If you need to talk you've got my number X
Cheers Jon - Much appreciated.
All the best big man with the old recovery. Were you drinking loads or more of a functional alcoholic? You always seemed pretty sober on here (except for the odd random post now and again).
I hope you don't turn into a boring bastard!
You should try that drug they don't want people to know about. It has a much better success rate than AA apparently.
Thanks fella. Haha - I really like your post man. To an alcoholic it is filled with three classic warning signs an alcoholic should be very careful of 'out in the real world'
Bonus points for getting what they are.
Misconception one - You have to drink lots to be an alcoholic
Misconception two - You're More fun on Alcohol
Misconception three - You were successful in hiding it??? (Not sure on the third)
