Evening Reggie,

Awwhh thanks mate....thats a nice thing for you to say. YOu are wonderful too, and I luv yaxx
I find the longer I have sober, the more inclined I am to try helping others. Before it took all my strength to help myself out of bed. Now I just feel so damn grateful to have another crack at making a happy life, that I want to share it as much as I can. I've had a great day so far, not doing anything terribly exciting, just being...thats enough.....just breathing the air of the free (my latest saying). Hope you are having a wonderful days to Reg

Evening folk's,

Reg, i'll have the fastest, smartest horse, that isn't scratched please.

Maaaarvellous day today. The af mojo was a firing...(is that why i'm home now alone? well, slowly slowly big fella..) Had a beaut little sit in play with a mate's band. We played 3 beautiful songs together, him acoustic/voice and me on electric guitar solo's/stardust. Hit the sweet spot for me. Noice. A bit too shy to stick around and socialise after that, as i'm still getting the sober in a pub with a few cliquey group's + me thing together, which i know means any discomfort felt by me is all in me head, as no-one could really give a bugger, but getting out amongst it as a punter, not working muso, is summit i'm working on. Had a real good time.

How are you Reg, Saph, Lil Michelle, Draggy and everyone?

Saph, Ron01's catalogue is worth a look re jet backpack's, but blow me down, it wouldn't surprise me if Reg has an old one sitting in the shed either.

Evening Mr. G. NIce day by the sounds of it. I understand the discomfort thing and I pick and chose the folk I can be around and the circumstances that surround that. I cant be around my BIL as he drinks like a fish and is complete denial that he is seriously in trouble with the grog. Trouble is, he gets tanked and starts making fun of me because I am having a red hot go at sobriety....not fun to be around. I think its okay to limit yourself to situations that make you feel a bit tricky, even if its only in you head.....
Be back soon, off to watch that crazy Absolutely Fabulous on the tele...BTW, I'm nothing like the daughter Saffy....nothing at all

Straya's 7/133, no! 8/133 in the cricket against Sri Lanka.

Hopeless. Just bloody hopeless.

Evening all...I had the most wonderful afternoon in absolutely glorious Perth weather. Watering the garden with my little weiro on my shoulder, the smell of the herbs, nice music in the background....happy to be alive and sober.
I've been reading some of your posts, too, Saff, and you are so welcoming and supportive to newbies. You set a really good example for the rest of us.
G, glad you had a good day. I haven't been to a pub for years, but know I would be uncomfortable. You sound so full of the "joi de vive" it makes me joyful for you.

Saph is fast becoming a legend around here, in my book Mish. Off her rocker, but somehow display's a poise, grace, and clarity, rarely seen in common hour's. I am a joyous fella these day's, and not drinking, and creating a new life are directly linked. Day 9, yeah!!

Orf to bed folk's. Take care and............



That is all.

Mr G ... Bic Runga opened for Leonard Cohen last night with a guitarist that was so magic that I wondered whether you had done a sneak visit across the Tasman.

Mr C. himself was pretty good as well! All the old classics. And virtually identical band and choreography to the "Live in London" DVD :H:H (I'm not complaining - I enjoyed it immensely!)

And you were all right ..... having some time out was a good thing to do. My friend's funeral is today. I will be glad to have it over with. Some terrible bickering going on between her family (who live here) and her ex (who lives in Auckland) around the kids (late teens). Poor buggars have just lost their Mum ....... Thanks for all the supportive comments by the way.

Totally glorious day here. I may even attempt my first sea swim of the year .......

Morning all. And a Happy Nobender November.
Missy, sorry to hear about your friend. Swimming in the cleansing sea may be good. I think you're mad though...
Have a great day.

Morning all, is it November already? Gawd where has the time gone eh? The sun is shining here this morning. NO-one is outta bed cept me and me whinging mutt Saff. The boys played at a Halloween gig last night at the civic centre...went out dressed in rags with fake blood all over them and matted hair...they couldnt look like ghouls if they tried, faces as smooth as a babys botty. Anyway they'll sleep for a few more hours. I'm off into the day to do some PT's with a couple of clients who whinge louder than my dog...at least they pay to make my ears bleed though. Seriously though, I love my job and get an enormous buzz when the clients kick goals...they've got no choice really..its like this, they kick goals or I kick their ass:H I actually use this dialogue "listen mate, If I can give up the bloody grog after 25 years, you sure as hell can run up to that lightpole"...no jobs for me on the biggest loser though, the language is too colourful and too real:H Its interesting when you work in this field to see the plethora of addictions that we fallible humans have. We are all flawed, everyone of us...there are similarities in everyone....some of my clients are addicted to food; gambling; the internet; spending money; obsessed with this or that or something else......it seems we are all puttin our focus elsewhere to avoid the really hard stuff. And it doesnt matter what background we have, good, bad or indifferent, it is there to some extent in us all.....a longing for the inexplicable.....a void that we must fill at all costs......a lonliness that make us feel disconnected from each other.....even from ourselves. Anyone out there feel like that?

Good post Saph. Yep, i think a lot of us just get caught up in the rush. The rush and worry of bill's, holding down a job, needing to do this and that within too tight timeframes, etc, etc....and we don't allow time for ourselves. Me time, and to ask ourselves the big, but deceptively simple question's like, how am i going? where am i going? Am i happy?

Over to the Nobender November thread.....
