Psst! Another goddam sexless story...

[p_p_man]

is this the end of the world as we know it?

I dunno, my keyboard took on a life of its own.

Click on the link below and see what it produced this time...

I like it very much p_pman. I'm an alcoholic who eventally chose to give up. I, however, respect the choice of those who decide to stay in their relationship with the bottle rather than humanity: as I respect the choice of those who choose to kill themselves.

There is a point in which it is, perhaps, important to let go of a relationship.

Even if this is a parody of that other non-sex erotic story, it stands in it's own right, for me, as a poignant little reminder of the horror of alcoholism.

Yes I had the same problem and even now I sometimes lapse into my bad old ways. I was a session drinker and could kid myself that because I didn't drink constantly I didn't really have a problem. But of course I did.

For some reason about 2-3 years ago I suddenly went off the idea. There was no blinding light of revelation, no joining self help groups, not even a silent decision to stop.

I just stopped. I don't know why to this day.

From having a session three or four times a month (and a session can last as many days as you have money in your pocket) I've had three sessions in the last 2-3 years. Nothing to crow about and I don't think people who have been, or are in, our position want praise. We know only too well how easy it is to fall back.

But I think what I've achieved is the ability to say no. To myself and to others. As I said it can never be counted as a permanent 'cure' but there is a feeling of having more self control.

Ted, in the story I drew from myself. I was like that. Obnoxious, overbearing (some would say I still am on the General Board ) and not a nice person at all. And I was encouraged in my ways by well meaning friends who used to accept me for what I was. Even laughing and making a joke about it at times. Because when I wasn't drunk I was the complete opposite.

They saw the good side of me and forgave the bad.

Sandra, in the story is taken from those kind, but misguided people.

Glad you like it freescorfr...

Scholl!

I once read that formers drinkers were some of the most lucid writers around. This goes to prove it p_pman.

I love your story p_p_ man.

It touched me on two points.

I'm the daughter of an alcoholic and have experienced all that goes with it.

I'm also a mature woman on her own, following a long marriage, looking for love.

You've written something that parallels my feelings and emotions.

Congralutations on your work, you are a talented man.

WOOOOOW!

Your story touched my heart. I related to it in more ways than I would like to admit. It also inspired me for a brighter future. Thank you so much!
