Hello army!

Reccy reporting for duty!

Been reading back over the past couple of days...

Lovely post from zenners yesterday morning...we all love you too :l:l:l

Hope you're feeling better Jackie, but you should get back in bed and stay there until you're properly well. :l

Pingu...I'm really sorry to hear about your cat. At least he lived to a good age. And you will have the kittens to look forward to. You were looking for a new handle...purplepants seems the obvious choice to me, but maybe you have other ideas?

Well done satz on avoiding Olympia...you are absolutely right to put your sobriety first at this early stage. Oh...you were asking about biltong. They actually sell it in packets at my local Sainsbury's, though I've never yet been tempted. Tips also mentioned droewors and I looked it up on Wikipedia:

Dro?wors (/ˈdruːəvɔrs/; Afrikaans lit. "dry sausage") is a popular South African snack food, based on the traditional, coriander-seed spiced boerewors sausage.[1] It is usually made from dun wors (Afr. "thin sausage") rather than dik wors ("thick sausage")...

dik wors....thick sausage....you couldn't make it up!

Someone mentioned ashes...I still have holly's on the shelf. Can't bring myself to go out and do the necessary. Mind you, my back garden is so overgrown at the moment I'd be lucky to find somewhere to bury them. :upset:

Glad you'll be getting your house back, Mrs A. Will it just be the two of you, then?

Hi panno, haven't seen you around much lately...

it was a one off mate of a mate who is a genuine counsellor, to try and whip me into some common sense and get on with AA before my inner voices persuade me to drink again
only I didn't realise he really was going to do that...

AA promting GOBSHITE

he did speak some damn truth though, which is a bit of a shame really. I'd like to say it was a waste of time but it got me thinking.....

xpost, yes he is a suppoter, follower, member of AA
that;'s why I went
a friend of ours also big into AA recommended him
as I wanted specifically to look into why I am so reluctant to get into AA but still want the happy sobriety that they all have

he gave me a proper rollocking tho, told me I was 50 shades of fucked up (not those exact words) and to go away and sort my head out.....

Ah FFS. Great positivity there PPP
I don't know anything about AA - perhaps one day - but all that dwelling on the problem, dragging it up every week again & saying we are NEVER cured is depressing ..... just reinforces that we can NEVER be normal ..... IMHO only - as I said I don't know I've never been to a meeting so should SHUT UP !.
I will probably be proved wrong

I am stuck between a rock and a hard place

I think in the end I may go for it as I think there's a lot of sensible stuff in there about living a good life. And hopefully ignore the depressing shite and leave that for the people who seem to like it?

pissing down here, literally heavens opened
