Gosh, it's quiet here tonight.

Perhaps, Bridge is still entertaining her bush ranger.

Mr G. Well done on 17 months. You've commented on some of my other threads and it's great that you guys are still happy to help the Newbies on their way. You must have seen a lot of repetitive stuff but you've not backed off. Thanks Mate! (Best Aussie Accent there.)

Aaah. Some pre-alkie memories going on here.

We're watching France v England in the 6 nations. Prior to son's birth, we would go to a pub to watch the game. I would drink coke, yell at the tv and drive hubby and friends home.

If we went to Twickenham, I wouldn't drink because I didn't want to queue for the ladies loos at half time. And I didn't want to lose any time that I could be taking the mick out of the opposition.

Rugby without AL??? But I ALWAYS did it. The game and atmosphere was more important!

ps I love Jonny Wilkinson

Long story short, it was a little message from my subconcious telling me that it's time to get on my frigging bike, and start making some stuff happen around here.

Well, as we're talking about dreams and no-one's here anyway...

I had a dream last night that I was having the most amazing, no strings attached sex with an ex boyfriend who I haven't seen for 16 years. (In real life, this guy was extremely handsome, very successful and charming but if he wasn't an alcoholic then he was certainly queueing up to be one. And he was good in bed.)

Bridge - What does this mean? Perhaps it means that people with Al problems are good lovers..:H

Belated Happy Birthday Ronners!

Have had lots of Teen Embuggerance but all quiet on the western front. I would like a Mums with Teens support group just like the toddler group I went to. But here no one talks about their life if its less than perfect

Anyhoo did a lamb roast tonight and had a lovely family meal with proper conversation and laughing and everything.

Life is good.

Bets.

P.S. Go Pan!

Morning all,
Great stuff Bet's! You would be a very cool mum.

I've just been corresponding with an o/s buddy, and the topic of tirdness and drinking thinking came up. It's true. We can be more vulnerable . The AA saying of H.A.L.T. is a good and true reminder. It means avoid being Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. Easy to say, i know, but worth remembering i reckon.

Oh Bridgos, have you released that man yet?! :H

See Spam, it's all in our thinking, non? (plus our environment, plus our emotional state, plus our this, our that, oh where do i stop?! :H )

Hornos, fire up the barbie!

A grand day to all malakas.....;-)

Good Morning All,

Where is everyone?

Well, I have so much to do over the next few days and I don't know where to start. My time alone will be shorter now as the after school clubs are finished for Easter.

I think I shall make some coffee and "assess the situation."

I'm still assessing the situation. In other words, I have done nothing!

I think I'd better go out and do the grocery shopping.

Do you have a vision for yourself and where you want to be, and how to get there? Sorry, i might be on the wrong track, but just throwing some thought's out there. Take care.......

I have a vision, yes. A sober me, remembering what happens in my life. Seeing as I've spent most of my adult life NOT remembering much, I want that to change. How to get there is simply not drinking one day at a time. Last Christmas I panicked and bought wine because I knew I wouldn't be able to buy it on Christmas Day. I shouldn't have done that because on Christmas Day had the bottle shop been open, I wouldn't have bought any. But, seeing as I had it, I drank it. That started me back on the downhill. I have gone back to my philosophy not to buy any wine today. Tomorrow is okay.

I agree. I knew I was feeling tired while the wine was haunting me. I was also feeling a bit lonely, so I kept HALT in my mind. It really was worth remembering. I couldn't avoid being tired, but at least I knew I was more vulnerable than usual.
