My mother-in-law died this morning. It’s not entirely unexpected as she had been unwell for a while, and suffering from dementia for a couple of years.
We are just having to discover how to deal with funerals and so on. So far someone else has always dealt with that, although the nursing home have been very helpful.
Sorry about that RW. I hope your Missus can get through this difficult time.
It’ll take a while, no doubt.
Sorry for your loss, @RedWhippet
Sorry about your loss…its difficult…but take things one day at a time…
Sorry to hear this, dude.
Hope Mrs RW and her family are doing ok.
I decided to make the change and quit smoking 4 weeks ago. The first 2-3 days were rough, but managable and then things got easier as time went by.
That is, until yesterday, and the cravings hit with a fucking mean vengence and have not gone for 24 hours. All the tricks that have got me through the last 3-4 weeks are doing nothing at all to help.
It’ll pass and there’ll soon be a time when you are so happy you did it.
Don’t go back!
Hopefully it passes soon as the longer it goes the more moody and grumpy I feel I am becoming. Could very easily get myself into trouble if I tell some random in the street to fuck off.
I remember that well, after 3 4 weeks big cravings, very stroppy. Keep going aussielad.
If you can keep away from other smokers, keep yourself occupied with other things, keep away from triggers (like booze and coffee). I drank water every time I had cravings ended up going for a piss more than I have ever smoked).
I went 5 years before ending up in a very boring situation where everyone else smoked. I couldn’t get through it and started again. Unfortunately I have never got into a mental state since then to try stopping again. Do keep reminding yourself, this is my opportunity.
I’m with you.
I’m sorry to hear that. My condolences to you, your wife and family.
Well that’s me screwed.
I’ll bet they’re shite, just like those caramel ones are.
The plain, McVitie’s digestive biscuit is the greatest biscuit known to man.
I’m with you on this, but testing is necessary.
Chocolate digestive is the king of biscuits. The humble shortbread is also worthy of being mentioned.
How did we get here again? Who did this?
I know not everyone does Facebook, but I saw this post regarding a missing forces veteran last seen in Liverpool:
I’m not sure of the circumstances, but these are usually a suicide risk. I thought it worth sharing.
So sorry you had to go through this walshy.
My opinion is that once a spouse cheats, it’s better to go for a clean break. no point going for reconciliation, counselling etc. They just don’t work out.
Its primarily about trust. Cheating probably sits more on a spectrum and its absolutely the case that a relationship can survive and subsequently thrive following cheating if it leads to open communication and re-establishing/establishign of trust and there is something there worth keeping.
Sounds good and all. All for giving people the second chance, but never tends to work out in real life.
Right people right chance. Definitely not a blanket rule…
Got rid of Mrs’ wheelchair yesterday, doesn’t need it anymore. Never been so pleased to watch an object leaving.
