Went into work yesterday, still sore with bruises in places I didn't thnk were possible, but had agreed to attend a work colleagues birthday meal, so I had to go really! 

The meal was ok, nothing special, but the 2-for-1 cocktails soon flowed, followed by a bottle of wine.  Had arranged for C to meet up with us on the evening which he did around 5.  Another bottle of wine and then decided we could do with something else to eat.  C was driving, something I hadn't planned on, so he would be taking me home, by now a little worse for alcohol, well I had been out for nearly 9 hours!  and then I get the urge to text V, just as I'd had the urge 3 weeks earlier to phone the ex.  What is it with me, alcohol and phones???

My message to V was seeking reassurance about how quickly things were going and if I'd mis-read the situation, well, sort of, and his reply? "Of course I love you.  I don't normally spend 25 years of my life on lost causes.  Glad you had a good time with C.  I also trust you. x"   Receiving that message instantly calmed me, sobered me up slightly so I wouldn't mis-behave and blame the alcohol, and also gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling.  Think I will make it through the next week ok now...
