Army Thread 15th December
Hey Guys! Just popping in. I have my Secret Santa at work today. I am wearing (on purpose) The Worlds Ugliest Christmas Sweater. Seriously. It is from the 80's and has a striped cowel neck and horrible decorations and "Happy Holidyas" in big block letters. It used to light up but that does'nt work any more. My daughter found it at the Thrift Store for me. I try to get a new hideous sweater every year. This one is the best though. Picture to follow. $20 says some knucklehead will say "What a nice sweater" and ruin my joke like last year...lol. On another note, I hope my baby Em wakes up feeling better. Poor monkey! She has had a low grade fever and headache. Oy.
Hope everyone has an awesome day! Sorry to post and run!February 27th, 2013. A New , Successful Start. :h

Hey Mr. Tips-you just wait and see...I'm going to surprise you and start the (a) thread one of these days:H. It seems like a lot of us are having our ups and downs these days. I know I am! One minute it's going ok and then....zoom... my mood plummets. Spent hours on youtube yesterday-listening to some songs that brought back great memories and others that made me cry. Kinda therapeutic in a bizarre way! I did not get much done around the house but feck it. I needed some "me" time. Tomorrow is the "work Christmas party/lunch" Not even worried about it. I shared my story of the party two years ago-so even IF I was tempted to take a drink-THAT would not be the place I'd do it. Saying that-I am staying on my toes because I know this holiday season is a trigger time for me. I will be checking in here on a VERY regular basis. You lot will be sick of me
. But to share in a kinda corny way..please know I am here for you lads too if you want to pm me:l. Eileen/expat xxx AND! I'm on facebook!

Hiya Army, I think this is a very hard time of the year for most people. However,being sober MUST help. So many triggers for both depression and drinking. I will stay close to this site even if I do not post!Comment

Hi Guys
Waggy bet your Christmas sweater isnt this bad...... :shocked:
Expat my moods have been a bit like yours, one minute im glad to be alive and the next Im wondering whats the point. Molly music has a huge effect on my mood and if I wanna cry its the best method! I do believe we need to get it out our systems so a bloody good cry is great therapy.
My 1st sober Christmas coming up but by far my most difficult for other reasons and Anon I will be here on the boards a lot so if you need company im here!"In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer ."

Greetings to all in army land!
I'm off to the big smoke and the shops (twice in a month, that just ain't right) - getting the last Christmas thingies together *uggh*
All you moody bluesy people... I'm getting mild doses of that, too. On a daily basis, it seems. GOT to be this time of year. I'm still in favour of hibernation, if you ask me.
Anywhooo - gotta love ya and leave ya... wish me strength and survival skills among city folk!
:hallo:Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

HMMM...Hibernation or painting a Joker's smile on? Sadly, neither solution is really possible:H. I have been observing the "normies" and I think most of them just don't care. I mean like us sensitive lot. Which got many of us drinking in the first place. Not trying to speak for everybody-before I get myself in trouble!!!!! But I've read on this site so many times--I drink because I'm shy, stressed, partner/child driving me mad etc. Obviously, we are all very different people with different reasons for "the drinking problem". But at least, we have come to the conclusion that the drink DID NOT work for us. It did not chase away our problems, or keep our kids from being bold, or even help us at parties (maybe at the start but then it became "oh feck, what did I do or say???) so--since I can only speak for myself-I am going to keep beating it into my head ALL the reasons why I don't want to drink. And on a less serious note-it is so wonderful coming on here and reading about all your positive stories too! Good and the bad-WE unite (there's some kinda music playing in the background-you just have to imagine it)!!!!!!!! Let's go Army!

:hallo: Army
A happy Tigger here
My long weekend has officially started. Today also marks the start of the holiday rush - the highest point of high season, which will last until the 1st week of January. Unfortunately, this is also the time of year when literally hundreds of people die on our roads - not only those in vehicles, but pedestrians too. Alcohol is involved in a huge percentage of these accidents. At least the numbers have been going down steadily over the past few years as a result of increased visible policing and active enforcement through roadblocks and the like.
Happily, I can look forward to a much easier commute - I should be able to do the 65km in 35 minutes in the morning and about 45 in the afternoon. Not bad going, considering the usual conditions...
The weather has improved today: the wind has died down, and conditions are ripe for a thunderstorm or two. It's 31C at the moment and overcast. Luckily not too humid. The cubs are both in the pool, with ocassional forays to run under the sprayer on the lawn. Not going to bother with dinner tonight - I had a square meal for lunch and Mrs. T entertained clients. The cubs will have to settle for leftovers or self-help
Anyhooooooo... I'm rambling...I'll do whatever it takes

Hiya Expat
I took so long to get my post typed in between fetching a cold glass of lemonade, finding my ciggies and checking on my garden watering progress, that you slipped yours right in there...I'll do whatever it takes
