Did someone beam Mick up?!!!
Hey GG! Welcome back hon! No kicks in the rear from moi as I am pretty sure you have kicked yourself good and hard. That’s what we do, generally. That, and we keep on trying to figure out why we do what we do. It looks like you are back on track though (I know you just *do it* when you put your mind to it) and it’s good to “see” you! xxx
Hey Limers… same thing… keep on trying to figure it out. Like Mollers said, everyone is different. AA works for some, therapy for others, others just stop cold with no problem… the list goes on and on and it comes down to individual things that help individual people. Church, working out, supplements, medication, meditation, hypnosis, feck where do I stop?! Said it loads… there is no one size fits all. Maybe there is something new you can try? That you haven’t done before… And chin up, OK? Being down on yourself will not help at all. :l
Loads to do today but I’ve decided I’m not doing it! Apart from a couple of things I *have* to get done, I’ve given myself the day off. A bit dangerous as the devil finds work for idle hands, and I recognize that was a trigger for me, but feck it I’ve done bloody loads this week already.
I slept late this a.m. after having to deal with that feckin transformer in the wee small hours. We had a tornado touch down up the road from me yesterday… the weather was really shite into this morning. The lamp post outside my house blew over… MORE good news for FPL! :nutso:
One of my IOP buddies went to court today for her second DUI. There but for the grace of God. (She got off lightly by the way.) I keep getting asked if I’ve had DUIs and done jail time. I’m one lucky LUCKY humanoid on that score. In the last month or so I’ve developed a real dislike for the smarmy druggie or alkie who says proudly “I haven’t had a DUI or been to jail” because, ya know what, that has NOTHING to do with you being smart or able to drive better than anyone else impaired… that is sheer bloody luck. End of!
OK, on that note… I’m orf to dye my hair, via me emails…

Evening troops,
Been bolixed since about 2pm... prolly cos i went out for me run, came home and studied in me bed for 4 hours... head went mushy, melted over the books and I've spent the rest of the afternoon just staring at the mush all googley eyes.
Tonight - no plans. Hmmm.... I keep saying to other peeps here, new in their quit, that it's ok to feel bolixed for a while, that it's ok to not go and do the things you used to do (for me ... um... get drunk. Whats that? You too? No shit!)... that it is ok to take it easy. Not everything changes at once and just the journey of the quit is big enough in itself. Having said all that... I still feel a bit like, well, it's friday night and - and - and - yup, just like any other night. Inside. Do I feel like going out? Nah not really, not right now. So what's the problem, ya moany wee shite? Well, what if this is what I'll be doing for the rest of my days? What if this is a new habit forming? OH NO! I'll be called Billy - son of Mr and Mrs Naemates!
So that's tonight.
Questy - how you doing?
Limers - ach, shit. :l But as you said - you wanna make 2013 the year you give it up. Do it. You can and you will and you must believe that. You know the score - your way, and Zenny makes good points there.
Zen - DAMN FECKING RIGHT ON THE DRINK/DRIVE FRONT... Me? I was one LUCKY fucking bastard that I never got caught. I was insane. I still remember the first time I cracked open a can of lager on the motorway (think i was frustrated with a girl i was seeing at the time) and drank it right handed while driving left handed and thinking - get this right - thinking "Ooh yeah... I'm just like Kerouac! Gonna drive me across these grand lands from coast to coast, beer in my hand, wind in my hair and fully leaded petroleum farting out my rear!" Apart from beer in hand, the rest was imaginary. But yeah - fecking insane... I literally used to drink and drive. NOT good.
I think the other thing that is progressive about drinking is the where and when - not always just the how much.
Anyway, on that note... um... maybe I should away and watch a movie or summit!
Oh - and comet! comet! there was a comet in the sky. WWwwwooooooooooooooooo!
