Seriously, I think that's been the hardest part for me about being sober. Finding people, or a place, or a venue to have any fun now. Can't go to bars; AA is certainly not my domain.... And even this site.. we all seem to be so phobic about saying anything inappropriate... that we can't have any fun here ... We're all so afraid to offend anyone; the need to be politically incorrect.. Just saying..

Oh man, just read my post... how funny is that? Saying that we all feel the need to be politically "incorrect.".. Well, maybe it was meant to be.... It certainly would be easier... and I think we all want to say what we think but of course, we can't.... or don't.... or we know better!

I say what i think (and feel) regarding my journey with and without booze and discuss this with other like minded folk here, which i'm eternally grateful for. That's all i care about and talk about here. Drinking is a health hazard to me. The focus here for me is on the recovery process. Any PC or non PC banter is trivia to me, and secondary. What i may or may not think of others is not important, and not a focus. Of course, we need to throw in a measure of respect for each other in dialogue, for it to be useful and ongoing.

Top of the morning from a cool crisp beach pad. Blue sky's are peeking out though. Noice. Working today. We have a good crew so we have a laugh along with the sometimes challenging work.

Have a beeewdy out there y'all.

Very thoughtful and intelligent post Mr. G,

I think most all of the drama that appears from time to time is due to the occasional poster not having the live and let live philosophy. We are all here for similar reasons and we are definitely more alike than different.

Yes, embrace the diversity A Dubbya. Top of the monday morning to y'all.

Paid the piper, so now i get to have the next 2 weeks doing what i like. There's a few things on the agenda to be sure. Blue sky's peeping out here. Nice.

Have a good one out there.

The best of the best of good mornings to y'all from this downtown beachside locale, where there are heaps of cafes, sand, sea, nightlife, chicks, music and blue sky's forecast. Noice.

Lunch with mum and a cruisey day ahead. A few things to get cracking on. Things that i enjoy and make me happy, which is the preferred and designed option.

Have a beeewdy out there whatever you're doing.

How's the running going Mr. G?

Winter here and frigid right now! Can usually get out and continue my running routine when it's 20 degrees or so as long as there's no ice but 0 degrees and there's no way. Summer where you're at right? Enjoy!

Did you ever sign up for that half marathon?

Running on the beach? I am envious.

I don't believe you are frigid for a second A Dubbya! Yep, summer here. I haven't signed up for a half yet as i want to get some more 10 k'ers under my belt first. Main reason being although i could run a half, but my legs/joints need more preparation.

Day 79

Greetings folks,

Well, at day 79 i'm feeling pretty good, and i've gotta say (on a thread with 45,000,000 visitors per day)......quietly confident. I'm acknowledging the up's and downs that life and i bring to the table and i'm learning to be okay with that. This is good.

No stress, no panic, just getting on with the job. Daily positive action i can handle, (nothing overwhelming) doing what i enjoy is key for me. There is also the sometimes more daunting business of life to take care of too. i.e. bills and respo....respon....responsi.......er.........respo nsibilities.

My sobriety is my number 1 priority. As is my self care.

Day 79 (and now day 80) is fantastic and something to truly be proud of Mr G.

The responsibilities are out there and dealt with by all of us. I've found the more I scale back the happier I am, in other words I live a very simple life and am happy with it. So much happier than people I know with a lot more, and a lot more debt and headaches.

Being true to our inner self is most important but I think I'm speaking to the choir here.

Right on with keeping it simple i reckon A dub.

I'm not much chop when i spread myself thin.

Time for some ice cream.

Day 80

Top of the morning to y'all from the beach pad.

The feeling's good here on day 80 booze free. I'm shooting for the stars, but first off is 100 days, which i haven't quite reached in 2.5 yrs since my last lengthy AF time. Then my aim is for 6 months. I reckon i'll be a lot stronger in my resolve by then. But for now, i'm enjoying my AF life and what my choice to live sober 24/7 is bringing me.

All sorts of doors and opportunities open up to you once you set your noble path and stick to it. It's true. Would i lie to you?

It's a ripper of a day here. Re-stringing guitar for saturdays gig, then off to see Jim, then to the beach for a run and swim.

Follow me on Twitter for more.....

Have a pearler out there and rack 'em up!
