    Army Thread 17th November 2008

    Morning troops,

    I am hoping that this is the last Monday I have to get up at this ungodly hour for a while! Actually, I will probably miss it, this really is the best time of the day .....I think....well I keep telling myself....
    Just caught up with last nights thread, I might have to start watching I'm a Celeb...feeling i am missing something important

    I had a look at the AA website last night, some of it really resonated with me. I am seriously considering joining. I feel I need to keep adding weapons to aid my recovery, feeling low has made me feel a little vulnerable and I know I need to be vigilant with all thats going on in my life right now. Need to pluck up courage for that though. It might just be a new years resolution for me.

    Still got those positve vibes going on so today is going to be another productive day for me. I am going to start a to do list and make sure I tick off as I go, makes me feel as if I have achieved something.


    Have a great day everyone and I'll catch you later.
    Love starts xxx

    New recruit here! day 3 af for me, mainly because I've been working lates and not had time to squeeze in a drink..I have a day off so I have to be careful, the danger time for me is around 4-6pm..if I'm going to drink it'll be around then. I think I will hide under the bed during that time!!

    BTW, that video is great One2many!

        Good morning folks!
        I'm looking forward to seeing my grandkids this afternoon. My daughter's bringing them in at about 2pm, so that should be fun.
        I'm really trying to stay upbeat. My dad's recently found out that he has cancer, and he's managing to stay cheery, so I should be able to aswell.
        I've got my AA meeting tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.
        Stay positive Starts. Things generally go better with a good attitude.
        I know " The Look" O2M. I've had a few of those in my time.
        Enjoy your day everyone.

                      Hello All,

                      Hope everyone is doing ok today?

                      Got back late last night so first time I've had a chance to check in. Very ropey this weekend, booze was everywhere - was walking through dublin city centre both Saturday evening and Sunday evening on the way to and from my mothers and all I could think about was calling a friend and getting a drink somewhere before heading home..I was like the lion in Madagascar, people of all shapes and sizes were turning into drinks in front of my eyes..luckily there was a bus home more or less straight away and not another one for ages so I just hopped on and went straight home, really hard though.

                      I'm off now on the road for work until Wednesday night so that will also be hard, doing my larry the lamb routine, I've to do team facilitation work with some groups and feck, I've more issues than the lot of them put together..I get so nervous but I'm as prepared as I can be, mainly as I have not been drinking, so if anything goes wrong it'll just be down to the people dynamic on the day and not a lot I can do about that. If nothing else it's putting some extra money on the table for the kiddies christmas pressies and that's the only way I can think about it.

                      Sorry to ramble on - it's me nerves

                      Best wishes and I'll check in again on Wednesday night
                      xx

                        Hi troops just quickly checking in before I head out to see my solicitor then to do some MORE Xmas shopping!!. I know I should be still taking the weight of me feet as my toes were weeping like hell yesterday and I had to re-dress them twice. BUT! today they seem fine and I'm hoping I get the all clear this Thursday when I go back to the hospital. I've been doing a good job redressing them and making sure they're clean and bandaged well so fingers crossed.......

                        Gotta rush folks and will probably check back in later tonight. It's kind of strange but I've been enjoying the time away from the forum of late and don't feel the need to jump on here every day!!! I must be getting 'better' lol!!!!!!!!!!!!.

                        Love and Happiness and have a great day all
