I am thinking,

Let's also keep our minds on the job here. (what is that Gboy?) Getting free of booze addiction, that's what.

A bit of yer 'how are you going' basics 101, for the bakers and non bakers. Yes, Undies culture taking a more pro-active stance with it's flock. Is this a worthy idea? I dunno. Happy to go with the flow, but just a suggestion. Yes, yes, we do talk and engage, and i know we all have our own stuff to deal with, BUT, could a bit more of yer '101 how ya going' basics be a more regular feature? Just a suggestion. Not saying we're all emotional retards. (cheesy but goofy grin)

No worries either way if folks are hesitant to engage.

Avocado and mince meat pie. Now there's a welcome distraction.

Let's get back to Basics 101 then.

So ... how ya going, people?

An avocado did fall on me head earlier today, so that may explain it. But surely i digress from the spirit of this thread, which is.......How are you?

i'm tending to lurk more than post as i'm very down atm & don't wish to bore you all of negativities. it's one thing to vent, but for me writing about all the crap seems to enforce it.
& i'm trying to get good thoughts brewing, if you pardon my pun.
good things today :
building a great pizza using lots of 'tovers.
making a whacking great batch of tabbouleh with quinoa to have over the next few days.
starting to walk in the mornings.

thank you so much for asking g-man. i am taking it odat.
amend that to hour by hour. on day 2 after a shocker weekend of stupidity.
& i gather you are doing splendidly.....

Exercise opens some serious doors Beags. Good stuff.

hey beags

You join me on Day 2 then.....I am naturally a very optimistic person but over the last few years AL has been able to bring out my negative side when I am coming down from a binge.

Stuffed the kids with dinner tonight.....because I am dieting therefore they have to eat extra. Cruel mother am I, I should just learn to make less......

G, exercise is amazing......sometimes I think it is the only thing that keeps me sane.

G'day Ellaq,

Good to hear you spilling some of your guts here Beags. We could do with far more spillage of people's AL related battles here i reckon. This is an anonymous forum, so the more real we get, the better the healing, is my take on it.

I do hear what your saying Mr G. But...its like ripping off scabs...I am thoughtful on this today coz it was a toughie to get through the afternoon with crappage abounding. And it was not a possibility to log on to get the moral support I normally get just by reading.

No worries Happs. I appreciate the response.

I could give the classic non comittal .......take care sweetie, you'll be right hon, etc, but instead i will ask you......How are you going there?

But maybe i'm just nitpicking?

Good. In fact, very good. This afternoon has been my first real thoughts of sinking a glass of red - who am I kidding it would stop there? - since the end of September. I had triggers and I had to sidestep them and the nasty WTF it really doesnt matter thoughts. But it does matter to me. And happy to say feel better for not going that path.

I think the hard part about laying everything out there - and I admire those that do - is that it is out there. And I just cant get into backslapping every AL free minute, its just not part of my makeup. That makes me sound harsh I know.
