A year clean - you must be so proud! What everyone else says about you is so true too! All your words and thoughts seem to be so positive - in fact it was you and Davey who got me posting on this board last June. What you both said made so much sense to me and it made me realise it was where I wanted to be really,. When I relapsed last time I didn't even enjoy it, I think it was the most depressed I've ever been (all the crying etc).. I don't even get that numbness anymore and we've refused to increase to get there.. It's gonna break up my relationship if I'm not careful and that's the last thing that I want.. but then we feed off each other sometimes too,.,
Congratulations to you Robbie! Can I ask do you go to meetings? My experience of meetings has always been negative for some reason - I found that the people in there didn't trust me maybe coz I didn't speak, I dunno, I didn't know what to say, it was all new to me.. It was the same when I did my first inpatient detox which was five years ago - I was accused of being a cop, a journalist all sorts of things.. it started out with just one girl but then she got talking to the rest of the group (there were only eight of us) and one by one they stayed away from me.,. it made me so unhappy that I signed myself out on the Friday night and went and scored,.,. but that's the past and that's where it's staying although it has made me wary of treatment centres, meetings etc.. I've done it on my own twice before so no reason why I can't do it again..
I think what you've achieved is brilliant, you must wake up some mornings and thing to yourself, this is what it's all about, being able to make plans without taking into account whether your crutch will be there to get you through.. I'm rambling now so 'll sign off...
Love to ya & again, congrats, you're great!!

Robbie, Congratulations TO YOU. I sure do remember your sleeplessness...though it was hell on you, it was great for us across the ocean cause it put you in our time zone and we got to meet one sensitive, funny, caring guy who obviously has a huge heart. Cheers to you, Robbie. You gotta feel so proud when you look into Charlie's eyes these days.....you gave him back his daddy 100 percent. Cheers to you. May 2007 be EVEN BETTER. luv cors
Congrads Robbie. Awesome stuff

Dude, festive madness.........remember you gave shopping a try this time last year.......I was thinking that poor guy is going to have an anxiety attack.....but I had greath faith in ya......I was thinking about your sister too.....she helped ya out big time, and your music did as well......you and that wacky friend of mine with the music......Lord knows I love ya both only she's five minutes away....and I got mad props for that chickie as well.
No easy feat was it for ya Rob, but ya persevered and kicked butt......reached out and said.........HELP.....no ya didn't say help because you are British....I think you said.........when will I go to sleep.......LOL.......not funny back then.
I am a better person knowing you, Robbie........and all our mundane ramblings on here just left us laughing......I have to say Corrinne had a big part in that.
Heartache was not aching on here.....and remember when ya were so tired and weary that Janet's dancing avatar was tripping you out????????
Carry on brave one because honestly this stuff ain't easy.......although we are only doing what we are supposed to be doing......it ain't easy.......Jack taught us that, and Misty Eyes there she'd carry us over like snap out of it.....LOL...Tina in five words says what she means.....then alot of the family of us rotten addicts I mean how good were they to us.......we're also seeing life coming in with our cohorts here, and new beginnings......all good stuff......and GYAC, man what a rock.......along with Cynical One who I am hoping posts a picture of that chip dagnabitt, and Susan just always so caring....like a mom. She is a mom, and still was good to us......have to love Mary too.....she'd be all worried about that boyfriend, but see us post and get right on to help us here.
Every single person on here was cool to us......and not one night goes by I don't think of the people stopped posting and pray they're alright.
Last year Cynical saw our posts and put up like a month chip for ya......which in my mind was cooler than a diamond......you shine yourself, Brother and hopefully one day in real live life we'll all have a party and Davey can bring the Evian......unrealistic, but so was our recovery.......and we done did dat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For you I send a virtual Hershey bar because we rock the chocolate over here.
Save that Cadbury stuff for the bunny.......I send a virtual hug and a song from some crazy band you like.......rocking Robbie CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably something with a skull on it, i imagine. where you two going for xmas? We'll be here at the house with our new doggie WALLACE. Our old Rodak had to be put down November...still miss him. Wallace is making his mark though..he's huge, one year old, 1/2 lab 1/2 rotweiler. got him at the shelter and named him WAllace after William WAllace and over here in the states my guy's favorite racecar driver is rusty wallace. Sure Bryn's sending you a bunch of Hershey's for Xmas...just stuff them in the drawer and have a cadeburry selection box...hahahahah. miss chattin. luv corrinne
