No worries at all Persephone. No, I didn't think you were judging.

Thanks for the PM offer, AND the hug!

Hey RC. Thanks for your words. Good idea's. It's not music that has been the de-railer though. I'm onto it.

Well, still a bit grumpy, so i'll head off and get to work on Niner's sauna.

G'day All's well! Hope it is friend.

P.S. Persephone will be 3 months AF on Friday! Yeaah!

G-man I didn't hit a speed bump, I got run over. But I'm up and ready to start again, this time with a little assistance because there are some changes coming in my life that would normally make me crawl into a bottle and give up for a while.

I'm ready to help build. But I'm not good with bricks - does anything need painting? Or I can design the gardens.

Hi Siren,

Why not build yourself a garden that flourishes with life and colour, and healthy steady blossoming growth. An expression of you.

That sounds lovely. I'll be sure to include a meditation space for us.

Love you G-Man! :l
I'm sending you some cornbread (well...crumbs). Should I mix in some spinach? That'll get you up and running again.

I guess it's up to me to build my own sauna. Fine, I guess I'll get started. BHOG - throw on your tassles and get over here and help me!

Love you too Niner!

Yes, mix in some spinach to drown out the taste. Geez, you're in a hurry for your sauna! I'm working on it, but by all means roll yer sleeves up and git stuck in. Any excess cornbread crumbs will mix nicely with mudbrick to build an even stronger foundation.

Day 5.

Really nice plan Mr. G, one that encapsulates the whole person and a plan I can put into practice myself. Thanks for it!

I LOVE that plan and I thank you for posting it. As I read it I realize there are some wonderful basics I have strayed away from. I need to refresh my own plan because life is just more vivid when I take time to do the things you have described.

I hope you are having a fabulous day. :h

So when will we have running water around here???

Well, my plan is this.

K.I.S.S. which means.......Keep it simple stupid!

Mindfulness. i.e. Living in the moment, and not dwelling on the past, or the future, but appreciating and enjoying the here and now.

Making peace with my past. Which isn't that horrendous.

Continue to cultivate an attitude of gratitude every day.

Taking daily action towards my goals. The smallest of small steps are okay.

Continue to exercise which is a habit I have long had and love, so no difficulty there.

Meditation and daily self reflection.

Continue to eat nutritious food, which thankfully is a routine I've long had.

Grow my dopey mind a little more. More reading G man!

Relax and enjoy the ride.

There is no tomorrow, and no yesterday. There is only today. So one day at a time in everything I do.

Have a beeewdy out there everyone.

That's an awesome plan G-Man! I am darn proud of you! :h

I just read The Easyway to Quit Smoking (for the second time...about a year apart...hey, I'm a sloooow learner) and I think it finally clicked that I should be GRATEFUL I don't have to suck down poison anymore and suffocate myself. Instead of longing for the poison, I'm glad I am free of it. Same with the alcohol...good riddance!!!

Day 5 is pretty freakin' awesome! You rock!!!

Yo Niner!

Thanks. Good morning to you and everyone from a drizzly Melbourne town.

Niner. Yep. An attitude if gratitude.

I've taken to posting in the Newbies nest. Now this might seem strange for a bloke who does know the ropes, and it did a bit to me, but I went there for a couple of reasons. I might not explain myself well here but here goes.....

To get humbled. To throw myself out there amongst the crowd and loudly pronounce.....(I am the messiah! joking)..... I surrender. I will do what it takes to take back my life. I am an alcoholic, and I know I always will be. And that's okay. Deal with it Gman, and i am. The nest to me symbolises back to basics. A simple, supported, back to basics approach using our toolbox, and using the inspirational journey's of many in the nest as my strength. I will draw on the gutsy and glorious examples set by brave newbies (and longer termers) in the nest who were much like I was when I first got sober. For now, it's all about me, and the healing game. Soon enough though, I will be strong again, and will give back.

Right! Off to lay some bricks. If I don't get a move on with the sauna i'll be in big trouble.

Day 6.
