Water was not my friend. Most people have probably drank more water in one year than I've drunk in my lifetime.

Seriouslyeven today I drink gallons of water a day.besides tea and coffee my weakness.on that note I need some caffeineand toast.

I know she’s my bestest friend she talked sense into me and stopped me from drinking .if it wasn’t for her I’d probably be the old bag lady with cat on the street. And believe it or not that was October last year so I’m 12 months sober this month.thats why I broke my hip cos of booze. So I do it for her she’s my guardian angel.she orders my groceries,my bills everything. And that’s all from cairns.so I reckon I’m a lucky old duckyand I’m happy for the first time in 5 years. Hence my wacky sense of humour. Once was rich now I’m broke but I’m a happy broke old bag.money don’t buy happiness.

Well done , this is a huge achievement and you should be very proud of yourself. You wouldn't want to move closer to your sister QLD can be cheaper than Victoria.

Keep up the good work and remember there is plenty of us here in you need someone to talk to .

Sometimes putting pen to paper and sharing your story not only helps you but others.

Sounds like a goid story for the get to know the members forum!

It also shows members to be more understanding and those that aren't can bugger off .

I for one would live to hear it

I just did something very rare. I got all emotional when I read your post. You sound like the female version of me but without the sister (or brother for that matter}. I'm an only child. When I asked Mum if I could have a baby brother to play with, she replied "I wouldn't unleash another you on this world!" Anyway she would have been about 45 back then. Too old.

That's sad . I guess alot of parents don't understand how a few words can stick in their child's mind. I had my youngest at 43

It's a well known fact that I'm a real bastard at times. But it's true. I was born on August 1, 1959 but my parents weren't married until October 10, 1965! I just thought it was a typo on my birth certificate. And I didn't know Mum was first married as a 19 year old until I found a marriage certificate after her death.

All families have secrets and my parents had some good ones

My family (all three of us) weren't what you call normal. I only recalling seeing one other relative in my entire life - my Dad's mother when I was 11.

We lived in Sydney while all the other relatives lived in either far western NSW or Tasmania.

Sometimes it's better not having relatives than bad ones

I'm from a large family but all are on drugs. My parents were / are never have been parents. Both are alive , my mother had me when she was 14, she went on to have 3 more with my father or should I say sperm donor.
She ran off with his best friend and had 3 more kids. Left that one and married a paedophile.

Sperm donor lived with a woman only 6 years older than me and had two kids.


My brother now looks after our mother, she has apologised many times for being a bad mother. For me my grandmother raised me until I was 13 then given the choice to live with mum or a girls home I chose mum.
Now mum let me smoke and not just tobacco, she let me sleep with guys including sleepovers . Lucky we moved to Dulwich Hill and that's where I met my husband.

My brother was kicked out at the young age of 12 . He went back and forwards between the parents.
He suffered abuse from both including many beatings from mums boyfriend who she had 3 kids too. I can't say how many times I got caught in the middle trying to protect him. I was actually a tuffy and would stand up to anyone.
My brother today said I am the only person on this planet he respects.
He went on to do armed robberies ect and spent many years in jail.

My two sisters are to this day still drug addicts. Aged 56 and 55 these two sisters are my full sisters and my brother is my full brother.

My father is currently in jail doing 8 years for raping my half sister over 6 years and it was me who reported him and nothing was done . It wasn't until my sister was 39 and two years working with detectives that he was arrested and sentenced to 11 years jail out after 8. He has 3 years to go He turns 80 next month. I think he is in Maitland Jail nsw.

I have that half sister and a half brother.

Then there are 3 half sisters my mother had to my fathers best friend.
one of those is also a drug addict tge otger two have disappeared
I have tried so hard to help my sisters and brother to get off drugs . My brother has now gone to a doctor for a full medical looks like he has liver damage. And they are looking at other things. He is still smoking smoko but I said one step at a time. He hasn't had a drink in 3 weeks . He has been looking after our mother for 4 years now and doing a great job even though she never took care of him as a child .

We are all strong beings and it is being a strong person to ask for help or even to talk about it.

I'm only telling you all this to show you sometimes it's better without family

Wow! And I thought I did the silly things. My crap is nothing more than a mozzie bite on an elephant's arse compared to yours!.

That last sentence says it all. I've been to many a family gathering and they mostly end up in shitfights. So I sit in the background and laugh quietly to myself.

Good stories are good, makes people feel good.
I look at every single thing I've experienced as a learning curve.

I was determined that I would never be like my mother and that I would shower love on my kids. I would be a mother first and a friend second.
As a teenager I could have easily gone how my siblings did. I smoked alot of pot , every now and then dropped a trip but when I got pregnant I said I was going to be a great mum and then I changed

But you can pick your nose.

Just go to the Nose Emporium in Quay Street, Bundaberg. Their prices are.... you know....a bit on the nose.

Don't worry. I made it all up!

None of my family did drugs. I did speed and coke for a few years. Both my exes were into growing and eating and smoking dope. I hated the smell of it so I never touched it. Never wanted kids too busy having fun. First ex didn’t have wiggly things bonus2nd ex was too old thank god and already had 2bitchy daughters.thank god I never see or hear from any of them.
