Tea&Biscuits

There is no doubt the IOM has homelessness probs - When my Mum bought her run down house in Mona St back in the 90s she had to single handidly kick squatters out - they were mainly drunkards - she cleaned out 53 bin bags of empty bottles and cans. For a while afterwards they kept trying to get back in! I dont think you should look at homelessness with just your own moral standpoint as I think it is a bit more complex than saying "there is no excuse for not haveing a job etc" and all the other usual things people say I still stand by my opinion that any one of us could potentially end up homeless, either through mental breakdown, bad fortune, addiction or lots of other reasons, this is why I try to be as sympathetic as possible.

Anyone know how I can get a copy of that Booze Britain programme that was filmed in the isle of man! I remember just turning it on last year and it was the last 5 mins! Was gutted cause I recognised a few of the chavs that were on it!! Please help!

Hey Grumble it was hard to go under, but i think cause i was tired anyway and am quite a relaxed person, it was easy? but there were times when i could hear a police car goin past that i started to feel like i was coming up! Thats th only way i can describe it like you are under water and youkeep goin deeper and everything goes dark, then little things like a noise can start to bring you back up? I found that as i was going under i started to get agitated, i started itching and feeling wound up, but then she started talking about a cloud coming down and enveloping me completely and making me feel safe and secure! It was lovely!

One thing i noticed is that about 4 people have asked if i wanted " a drink" meaning a cup of tea and ive just been saying "no thanks" and then goin to make myself a drink!! Spooky! maybe she programmed me to say NO to all drinks!! LOL!!!

Hello guys, as you all might or might not know, i have in the past had a real issue with booze and i am one of them people that if i have one drink, basicly im out for the night and wont stop drinkin till the booze (any booze) has ran out! NOt funny really as I have in the process over the years damaged my liver....and i stopped drinking (well actually its binge drinking as i would only ever drink on a friday!) all last summer, however recently since jan my behaviour was gettin back into old habits, i was getting hammered every friday and so last week I decided to give up drinking again! But this time I am going to give up completely (i think and hope!) Soooooooooooo my mate who is a hypnotherapy nurse (for smoking clinic) put me under and has programmed me not to drink! It was so weird while i was under, it was like i was so heavy and i couldnt move my legs or arms and my hands felt so swollen and i couldnt even open my eyes! it was so mental! Then when she was using the word alchohol i could feel this immense emotion inside me, like i wanted to start crying.....? You see the thing about me is that booze has wrecked lots of lives in my family so i have issues with it, and the weird thing is that i hate smoking, dont even think about it, yet when im drunk i cant stop smoking! So for me, giving up drinking is the best thing for me, although so many people keep saying to me "oh you dont have to give up completely, you can have a few now an then" which really annoys me, imagine sayin to a smoker "ahh stop being silly you can smoke a few now an then!" Anyway she did hypnosis for about an hour and it felt like 10 mins and it took me ages to snap out of it properly i felt really dizzy and weird! Ok well i do feel more positive and upbeat today about stuff an weirdly i havent been that hungry! Usually im terrible eating fruits/cereal and just being hungry all day, but just havent felt like that today like i have an inner peace or something! Only time will tell if it works, but does anyone else have a similar experience, or do people think its total bolloxxx?
