    Hi paper, it's looks like its anxiety that's causing your drinking? Just thinking about having to go to the graduation is probably causing enough anxiety? That's my problem, anxiety levels. Booze works a treat, but my Dutch courage ' couple' always turns me into Thor( well I think it does) lol. I sometimes use lorazepam just to be able to go someplace, then realise when I get there, my fear was unfounded. Daft but true. Good luck👍

      Good reply Roger!! I fully understand the situation about being apprehensive or nervous and then DRINK DRINK DRINK...trying not to is not always easy or loosing your inhibitions since you are normally shy...enough about this and all the best to Paper Fairy and yourself.

      Thanks & good luck, we all know the difficulties with stopping, virtually impossible for me (when I'm drinking). Anyway, it's a nice day here in the middle of England, I'm off out with the dog......😃👍

    Hi paper fairy

    Is it this Friday 3 July when your daughter graduates? Not heard from you for a couple of days and hope you're doing ok.

    even if you're still drinking, you've still got time to stop and enjoy her graduation sober.

    please let us know how you're doing. Hope all goes well
