    The house that G built.

    Good morning G and housemates!
    What is it with everyone hurting their foot? I hurt mine too and my toe is kinda numb!
    I fell off pretty badly last week but I came back and am ready to continue the sober life. This disease is unfathomable and cunning. But I'm done being a rookie! I have a church sobriety meeting to get to tonight and I am really looking forward to it!
    G! Where you at?
    Love you all and wish you all a beautiful day.
    Day 1 again 11/5/19
    Goal 1: 7 days :heartbeat:
    Goal 2: 14 days :happy2:
    Goal 3: 21 days :happy2:
    11/27/19: messed up but back on track
    12/14/19: bad doozy but back on track

    One day at a time.

      I came in for a cuppa and you weren't here. For Broken Halo, read broken record. I've been at it again but this is Day One and I have done things I have never done before, like stopping pretending to be a woman of steel! I always enjoy your threads, hope you are well.

            As requested - stoking the fires at the House of G to keep everyone warm and toasty in the chilly down under. I hope everyone is safe and happy/healthy tonight. Peace to all who dwell here.
            Well it's all right now. I've learned my lesson well. You see you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

                Finding Encouragement
                Your True Inner Voice
                by Madisyn Taylor


                The longer you listen to and believe your true inner voice, the stronger it will become.


                Within each of us, there are numerous voices often that compete for our attention. It can be difficult to decide which one to listen to, particularly when their messages are all quite different, sometimes conflicting, and even alluring. One voice, however, is the speaker of truth. Among all your inner voices, your true inner voice is the one which encourages you, gives you hope, and pushes you to trust and believe in yourself. Conflict within oneself is often caused by dueling voices inside of each one of us. As we move through life, we get mixed messages from the various aspects of ourselves. Some of our voices, such as the naysayer or saboteur, can speak so loudly that they drown out the voice of truth. Listening to your true inner voice – often the voice of understanding, support, and self-assurance - can help lessen and even resolve internal conflict.

                If you’re looking toward the future but your faith in your ability to succeed in life is wavering, you will benefit from finding and listening to your true inner voice. You can connect with it by remaining relaxed and alert, while listening carefully. If you have trouble distinguishing your true voice from the others, meditation may be helpful. You may hear many voices as you meditate, but the one you should pay attention to is the one that speaks to you with love, understanding, and compassion. It will bolster your spirits and urge you to go after your dreams. And it will never cause confusion, remind you of past mistakes, or cause you to doubt yourself.

                The more you listen to and believe in what your true inner voice is telling you about your value and your potential, the stronger that voice will become. And the more you disregard the voices that can interfere with your resolve to succeed, the quieter those voices will become. Saying no to the voices that are judgmental and make you feel ashamed will help you stop being critical of your failures and afraid of success. By finding and strengthening your true inner voice, you will be able to ignore internal conflict and pick out the one that speaks the truth.

                        Dear Mr. G -- congrats on 60 days and great post about listening to the true voice.

                        Siren, sorry to hear that things with your husband are not working as you had hoped. But, glad to hear that you are staying on the AF path and that work seems to be going well.

                        Have been out of internet connection for over a week and just now catching up. I'm good, getting ready for a holiday so will be offline for two weeks.

                          Thanks everyone!

                          Good to see you FAL. Happy holidays friend. You are kicking ass!

                          All very good here. Very strong (despite management BS at work, although that's under control and i am doing everything right and whats required etc.) and the feelings goooood, physically and emotionally. The sober life totally ROCKS. There is no doubt about it. There are NO negatives in being sober.

                          Everybody get out there and just do your best friends.

                            Hi everyone!

                            Ugh, it has been a killer couple of weeks! I won't go into gory details but work is extremely busy, but management realizes there are too many things under area of responsibility and are helping me prioritize.

                            I have not been AF unfortunately, but that changes starting today. All the booze is out of the house - I asked my husband to take all his mead because that was always there, even if I didn't buy any booze at the store.

                            I agree Gbloke - being sober is the way to go. I cannot possibly accomplish everything I need to on a daily basis if I'm drinking. I had a good taper over the last week, so I've been waking up un-hung.

                            Someone smack me if I ever think the momentary pleasure of that first sip is better than waking up ready to face the day.
                            Well it's all right now. I've learned my lesson well. You see you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

                              Hiya G and well done on your 60 plus days I loved your post about the inner voice. Sometimes the voice of AL is so loud it drowns everything else out, it is important to remember that we also have a voice, and that's the one I am listening to. By the way G? Would it be too much to ask that the house has a nice, air conditioned gym and a pool? :H
