Old dog seeks new trick 9

[Old Dog]

raliced - I will say that stepping out with another guy might "breed insecurity" in the kids as well.

As Hong Kong Phooey used to say "could be" :-)

susana4 - I really appreciate you stopping by again. I've got a counselling session tonight. That'll help.

Yes, I live with a couple of wonderfully helpful and supportive flatmates during the week. They both alcoholics and drug users (if you have been one, you're never an ex) who have done the 12 steps and help others now ... and me although I'm neither. I couldn't have ended up in a better place to be honest.

The last weekend was the first time I went back in three weeks actually. The weekend coming is a birthday celebration for my mum so WAW said she'll take herself off on Saturday. And the weekend after that I'm not gong back as I've arranged to go to a ceroc (dancing) weekender.

I know I'll get through this, not just today but in a week / month / year but man alive it's hard. I'm trying not to dwell. I recognise the signals and try to route around them e.g. I went out to the pub for lunch with colleagues even though I didn't feel like it and wasn't exactly the life and soul.
