That doesn't exactly surprise me. I was basically Monty from about 2005 to 2010.

Broke? Or druggled?

Broke.
And drunkled, rather than druggled.

My brother was drunkled and druggled from waking til passing out
every single day for about ten years. He's still not free of the grip of booze, the poor cunt.

How the fuck could you afford it?
Not you, obviously

A friend of mine's dance partner comes from an absolutely loaded family
And several of them are properly fucked up. Takes a strong personality to resist such things when they're so easily available.

Serious question
Is this shared proclivity for over-indulgence your fault/influence, or his? Or is it God's righteous vengeance on your mother for being unholy an' gay an' that?

He is older than me.
Actually it was simply the counter-culture of Winchester in the 80s. Literally everyone was at it. There's fuck all else to do round there if you're a teenager and every summer the convoy came through en route to Stonehenge, and there were travellers' sites all around the town. It's just a hardcore little town.

Didn't consider geography
I prefer my theory about The Lord smiting your mother's womb with alcoholism

That's actually a bit much to get into.
Technically I think I'd consider myself drunk since about 1992, if not earlier.

18 years!

It does depend how you define it.
And that's my counting it in a way that stops me thinking 'well, if I could just drink like I did when I was 20, instead of when I was 35, that would be OK'. You know?

This is all a little dreary and serious for B3ta though. I don't mind people knowing and talking about it up to a point, but the details of how I cope and the like are a bit much to share and will bore people to death anyway.

Sorry mate; but seriously well done for beating it and coping
You seem like a good sort and I hope you have happier times now and to come
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 11:14, Reply)

No, no, that wasn't a dig at you for prying
Just an explanation of what I do and don't feel OK talking about. And honestly, a large part of what I don't talk about isn't really that it bothers me, just that it would be as terminally boring as yesterdays bickering was.

And thank you.
