    The house that G built.

    But to your question. For me, I am simply much happier when AF. I am happy naturally when AF, even though I am not where I want to be in life, and am working on that, I can say I feel relaxed, not anxious anymore, not depressed anymore(very rarely), and this is all down to not drinking AT ALL. Not 1 or 2/3 drinks once or twice a week, NO, my happiness is a direct result of zero alcohol in my system for more than a week, 24/7. I am told I am funny when drinking, but much funnier when I am sober 24/7. I have also been told I can be boring when drinking too. Like most drunks.
    I have found I cannot even begin to work on goals when drinking. I lose all days when I drink.

    I can't drink 1 or 2 or 3. Doesn't work that way for this alkie. Sheer agony to even try.

    :goodjob: on all days sober everyone!

      Hiya Cindi,

      Yep, me too. Even when I have 'enforced' moderation, and kept it to a few drinks once or twice per week, I still feel a bit shit, and compromised. I know I am not shining at my best. Just 1 or 2 drinks a week will have a dulling effect on me. I'm soon back to my old 24/7 routine. It's all or nothing for me. It was a boring way to exist I found.

            That would be great MrG- really

            All's grand with me thanks for asking, off work for today so just trying to get my arse in gear to do something productive. Just adjusting the caffeine levels as I speak. No rain too so that's a bonus!! Think my garden will receive some attention.

            How are you? Hope all is well your end?

                  Thankyou Sweetpea, and the best of the best of good mornings to y'all from a cool, fresh downunder.

                  Today's forecast is 14c and sunny. Noice. 5.50 a.m. Cold and dark here at the moment.

                  Hope all's as well as it can be at this moment with everyone.

                  Day 39. Bring it on!

                  L8tr, Yo!

                    Yo GMan!
                    Will you be able to push my wheelchair around during our date to the Tip? The good thing is that now I don't need to worry about what shoes to wear! And I think my potato sack dress will do just fine for the occasion.
                    :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

                    Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

                        Gee, that potato sack outfit is mighty formal. I'll be sure to polish my motorcycle boots.

                        You sure keep a fella on his toe's lady. :h

                        Hope you're recuperating well my friend. A speedy recovery to you. And i'd push your wheelchair up the steepest mountain.

                        Knocked off work, and tomorrow off. Cool bananas!

                        Have a great day/evening everyone. Think positive.

                            The best of the best of good mornings to all from a sunny wintery Melbourne town.

                            All good here. Off for a run on the beach and a dip.

                            Life really is what we make it, and it's all ours for the taking.

                            Day 40. Bring it on.

                                Will be celebrating the solstice by doing yoga in the middle of my city. Not yet up to running a mile on a beach or anywhere. But my downward dog will be working it. Go, baby (comment to myself). Have a great weekend everyone.
