NOW is the Right Time!!

Well my last post talked about my addictive personality and at the time I really thought starting my blog was the beginning of a yet another addiction!!  However, as it's been over 8 months since then maybe I was wrong??  Or perhaps I've been too addicted to another addiction so haven't had the time?? Or put another way - I've wasted too much of my time being passed out on the sofa due to excessive alcohol consumption every evening!!  Well, enough is enough!! I have decided to take off  my rose coloured specs (definition -  to see only the pleasant things about a situation and not notice the things that are unpleasant) with regard to living life through Rosé tinted glasses (definition - avoiding life by drinking copious amounts of Rosé so you either don't care what's pleasant/unpleasant; you crash out so don't experience what's pleasant/unpleasant OR you can't remember a damn thing either way!!) 
I started the blog with the intention of illustrating in a light-hearted, fun, "tipsy" sort of way, what living with a "drink problem" is like and over time getting it under control.  But now, today,  with a very heavy heart and a very sober head I will try to paint a more honest  picture of me dealing with alcohol dependency. I haven't controlled it at all in the past 8 months and in another 8 months I 'll be turning 50 and I am determined to celebrate in a healthier and happier way than getting drunk on champagne!!  I want to wake up and remember celebrating such a milestone - unlike my wedding day and my 40th birthday! Topics for further blogs perhaps?!

What's it all about?

Well Day two of my new Blog and I think I'm addicted already!! - I do have an addictive personality if truth be told!! - and  that's exactly what my blog is all about - me telling my truth - and maybe somewhat about my many addictions (note to self - topic for future blog!) I've been thinking about setting one up since my Gorgeous, funny talented daughter -  GFTD from now on!! - set hers up ages ago but as ever I drag my feet and procrastinate - am I just bone idle or such a perfectionist that I don't dare to start anything incase it's not "good enough"?  Time will tell! (another note to self - another topic!!) Anyway, as my kind GFTD ended up doing it for me I felt I had no choice but to give it a go and see where it takes me! In my GFTD's own words - seeing as she set up and created my initial profile   "I'm at a cross roads with life in general at the moment and am waiting to see where my next move takes me...apart from to the "offie" for a BOGOF on my fav rosé."!! Must get round to updating that profile no matter how funny she makes me sound!! Although saying      "I love laughing till my belly hurts" is just not true - who wants their belly to hurt? and as this is a Blog based on truth and honesty it will have to be deleted!! Tomorrow!!

Well here goes!!

Well thanks to my gorgeous, funny, talented daughter I now have a blog! She's set it up for me and created my profile etc which I've managed to edit slightly, at least to correct  the spelling errors!! She says I'm 'blog illiterate'! which I'm amazed she can even spell as she's not the best speller in the world!!  Read her blog yourself and see what you think!! Of the blog not her spelling!! You'll see just how gorgeous, funny and talented she is - I am not biased!! Last night we were texting - I can do that - although refusing to use 'text language' does make it rather a long winded affair, and we were 'talking' about topics worth writing about and she suggested writing about losing her 'vaginity' which is both hilarious and genius at the same time!! So maybe this is an example of her wit rather than her illiteracy??

testing

just testing to see what a post looks like on the blog!
