WAPville - I like it!! Just down the road from Dumpsville, and Lonely Town, Heartbreak County!

53 - I did say, I don't have a problem with alcohol. I very rarely drink. That was a one off and I don't need help but thanks for the kind thoughts. I can't PM as I only have Guest status, I can't join on the work computer (security thing)

My docs are pretty cool though, and talking this over in the bar with one of them, she's been pretty supportive, although there is nothing medical. She just saw me there the other Saturday, unwinding from a tough afternoon at work, and said I looked like shit and was I coming to see her. We got talking and she was, like I say, pretty supportive. Gave me lots of advice, some of it was even the same as you guys, and said she didn't want to see me in her office!

LTS, are you anything in the psychiatric profession?? Some things you've said are practically the same as Beardyman and the Doc have come up with. I expect too much from a relationship, namely, the same as I put in. Guess I have to learn to hold back. But I agree, if they are willing to stay friends, then who knows when I might need those friends? It's me that has to learn control, and I'm getting there, but it's really hard, and I really appreciate the support I've gotten from this forum. Thanks guys and gals.
