Sorry Ocean, let me explain what I meant was I have a longing for myself to not have the desire (I thought typing "I have the desire for me to not have the desire" odd). I have to stop myself from overdoing it so I don't have a nal. over. The desire is still there and strong. I have been trying to delay in taking the nal. so that hour wait is later in the day in. My hopes are that I can just forget about drinking one day and just go to bed. I have a hard time thinking clearly at times...old age setting in.

Again sorry about the confusion

Jaba

Jaba - you are apologising again - (see New Tactic of late thread and my answer!!)

Hugs, Maggie x

I think Maggie is onto something jaba. There is an expression "don't explain, don't complain." It makes me said because it shows how hard you are on yourself. I can relate. Don't be so hard on yourself. Newlife

I thought Jaba was just being polite. Jaba is new here and not used to us ruffians. As an aside, I think it would be nice to know if we are male or female. Not misogynist.

Yes Steve - she is being polite but sometimes there is no need for an apology - sometimes most definitely yes - as I needed to do with Carli that one time - and LOL - I agree with you in that she is not used to us ruffians !! I think most of the time we guess right as to whether or not posters are male or female - I mean it is pretty obvious that I am male right ???

Have a Nice day!!

Hugs, Maggie x

Okay, its too early for me but that just tickled me...

And yes, I have a hard time with "chatting" and sending text messages. I remember my daughter coming home in tears by what someone sent in a text because the person sending it didn't make themselves clear. And I am the one you hit at the grocery store with your cart and I say I am sorry for being in your way. It's just my way, but I will try to stop.

Jaba

Jaba - you are so right - so much can be misinterpreted in a post or a text - but I understand where you are coming from - yes I too would apologise if someone bumped into my shopping cart - because of course I would have been in the way too! So I do understand - but here we are a little more lax - not terribly so - I did mess up a while ago with a post to Carli and felt terrible about it but we sorted it !! But she misinterpreted what I had said - partly because of the way I said it and what I said - but when we are not seeing each other or hearing the tones, it is easy to misunderstand. From a couple of your more recent posts I think you are getting used to us ......

Hugs, Maggie x

I apologize a lot. Don't like it...bite me! Better?

You do NOT apologise a lot !!! LOL - Actually - on a side note - hubs came home with a tub of my favourite ice cream a few days ago saying that he had been mean - in 33 years this is the FIRST time that I have ever had anything close to an apology !!!! I am wondering who has my husband ...... and if this is my husband what someone has done to him!!!! Oh - and at work, inside my locker someone saw the sign that I have in there - it says 'Bite Me' - they could not believe that I had that in there !!!! They think I am too nice - LOL

Hugs to EVERYONE......

Love, Maggie x

Good for you Maggie, hubs must be happy with you............keep it up !! Newlife
