Thanks NS.

I am very proud of you too.

Top of the satdee morning to y'all.

Day 39 and the feelings devine.

It occurred to me, in one of those flashes of clarity and possibility that i get from time to time when sober for 30 days plus, and that seem to come out of nowhere, that anything is possible for me in life. I had flashes of musical possibilities, my band touring the world, meeting people all over and sharing music and experiences. There really are no limits.

Does anyone else get those little flashes/visions of what is possible for you now and then? They seem to appear from nowhere, but i reckon such a vision is to do with the fog of a booze soaked lifestyle lifting, thus allowing a burst of clarity to fill the heart and mind. It was truly spectacular! Can't wait for the next one!

Have a great weekend everyone. Make it a safe, sober and magical one.

G man.

Hi Mr G, finally some sun is showing.

My flashes of clarity being sober is that i can change the dynamics of my family, that i can be the one to stop al addiction and the cycle will end. That i will be the best nana in the world and i will do it sober and i can be there for my family forever. Now i am sober anything is possible, i dont need to hide away anymore, i am blessed to face each and every day sober and my life has meaning again. I always have thoughts now when i am out and about that i would never be doing this if i was still drinking and it can just be sitting having a coffee to make me realise how good/great my life is.

Now i am off to walk to the shops and have a coffee with a friend. that would not have happened in my drinking days, i would have dragged my 1000 excuses out of why i could not go. And then there is bingo tonight with my daughter, im still up to excuse 900 but cant find a good enough one!

have a great day.

Yeah right on Ava.

You're pretty amazing to be tolerating bloody bingo sober. But i see you will be in grand company.

Might head to a market today after workout. Lazy pace today.

Have a bewdy.

These days just keep stacking up G - wonderful now that the rolling stone is no longer gathering moss!
Just signed up to run a 5K - and more importantly a training course proceeding it - need to be careful what this AF life will get me into - never run before so should be funny (to watch that is:H) as you said the flashes of what is possible in our newly improved world are pretty amazing - wonder where I will end up running (think my 50plus year old knees might have some say in that though:H)
Hope you get some answers to your questions about your degree - seems wierd taht they fail you, but want you to move on too Hopefully there is an error somewhere...Well done for sticking to the plan :goodjob:
Say hi to the ocean for me - and stock up on more chocolate for the next one

The 5k run is a top idea SL. Your knees should be fine, just build up to the distance slowly and don't do too many k's in the one session. Listen to your body, and know that rest is as important as the workout or run. Those 5k prep plans are usually good. That's exciting! Running for me means freedom. It is also a meditative experience. Once your legs build the required foundation and those muscles re learn what you want them to do, it is the best anti-dote i have found for the blues. As the Kenyan's say, "Let the run come to you"........Will give your regard's to the sea.

Top of the sunday morning to y'all,

Geez it's great to wake up sober isn't it? My first thoughts this morning were.....'finish that song for so and so, then work on some guitar tracks using my looper pedal, which can sound like 4 guitars and also a crazy echo effect thing. :goodjob:

Day farkin 40. Oooright.

Sky bleu here. 21C expected ron. Have a bewdy out there.

Ooroo.

40 days??? That's marvelous!! Yeah G!

thanks for being excited by my running - I did the first day of the training - i think this is a good program, I got an app for my phone and they follow a similar schedule. I did an hour of walking/jogging in intervals - knee managed just fine, but I think I need to slow a bit, got a bit dizzy. Still managed to do my regular Saturday 5 mile walk, so recovered well. I need to be outside and have walked for exercise for a while, but making the time is hard - and running, well you can do that a bit quicker:H Its an 8 week program with the 5K beginning of November

Enjoy making music today Mr Music man....

Yep - sure is. It's 8am and I've taken my son to the airport, have my freshly washed sheets drying on the line, had some lemon and ginger tea and strawberries as a pre-breakfast snack and am sitting at the 'puter about to start some data coding.
Sky bleu here too - promises to be a glorius day.

You have a bewdy too, G!

Well done on the running, Scottish lass. Sounds like you have a good c25k program going there. Don't be afraid to repeat a week, or back off a bit if you feel any injuries developing and you should be fine. Running is the best!

but making the time is hard -

Thanks SL. If i'm pressed for time through the week, i get a run/walk in anyway i can. I'll run to the shop, run to an appointment, run to meet up with friends, run/bus/train to work.....any way i can get some k's into my legs. But don't overdo it. Don't forget cross training such as swimming and/or bike riding road or gym can keep your cardio fitness up too.

Onya Glassy! Sounds like a beaut day there. And reflective....

G'day Pauly! Thanks.

Don't panic. Can't take those 34 days away from ya. I hope you are back in the saddle and are the wiser for it. You are kicking goals right now just by being here. Go kick some ass my friend. :goodjob:

that 30 to 40 days went so damn quick. Happy 40th Mr G and very proud of you and your achievement.

I have been out in the sunshine already, walking with my daughter and having a coffee. I was saying to her that 9 months ago i would have been too hungover to walk with her let alone actually be at her place visiting. I am grateful to be sober today.

GHE - Indeed it is a c25k program - includes cross fitness with some in the program and a month free pass to local gym!
Hi Ava, sounds like a nice day!
Pauly - good for you getting back on again.
G - have a great day
