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.
Day 6.

I think this is a beautiful.

Please give us a ring when the sauna is up and ready for a visit, k? P.

Will do Persephone, but be warned. There may be some unscrupulous characters lurking about wearing tassles.

Day 6 almost over.

Congratulations on 3months AF! :wd::bday3::band2:

Yo G!

You got this man...and when you feel like you don't got this...hey, we have your back!! Stay close to us ok Mister G?? (aka Messiah! LOL)

The Newbies Nest is a great place to be reminded of where we all started, where some are still at, and where others have remained to keep the new ones strong.

Pull up a twig and get comfy under our wings...we got you G!!!

Thank you for your grand support and friendship :l

I am getting excited and putting together a 'plan' of delicious therapies: spa, mineral baths, hiking in the canyons, acupuncture, All with my my darling daughter, whom I miss terribly. This will be perfect ~ Thanks for asking.

How bout you? You have any plans for the weekend besides slaving away at the house? Whatever it is, I hope you have a Fab weekend! P.

I'm glad you're back laying those bricks again Mr G. :goodjob:

Forgot to ask before, but would you like a little veggie patch :strawberry: :leaf: in this groovy doovy :butterfly: place of yours? If you have a little patch of spare ground I could start getting one going for you if you like. :flower::sun:.

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.

All power to you G, as you say KISS! :l

Hello Mr. G,

I went almost a year completely sober in 2012 then came back to America from a trip to Thailand and unbuckled. I can read my own emotions with the why's, why not's, and wtf's in the posts you write. This might be another beginning, and we might be a few days sober, but we are not in that dark place we were when we started this journey. We don't have that hopeless pit inside anymore, we know what we need to do and we know that positive place right around the corner is where we need to stay. I'm excited to get this thing started in earnest.

Thanks P. I'm actually working this weekend, not music, but day gig, which is interesting anyway.

This is fairly true for me too AW. I know where I want to be and what to do to get there. But! I am not fooled. I also know that I could be back in the hell I dragged myself from in a very short time. But that's not where I want to go. I also have to be aware and respectful of my self destructive/self sabotage side, like many of us.

Day 7 in the hole. I got a moon from the Nest! I am humbled and honoured.

Yo Techie!

Glass and Siren - if Mr G. Likes them, we need Brussels Sprouts! The Deconstructed BS I posted yesterday turned out to be really good!

Hey No sugar and Siren!

Gourmet real food AND brussell sprouts? I'm in heaven. I am a big fan of brussel sprouts and spinach.

Early sunday morning in Melbourne town. All good here. Got a gig tonight filling in on guitar with a mate's band. It'll be ace!

Looking good on Day 8. Even my toupe's starting to look natural.

Speaking of toupe's, where's Bald bloke? How are you doing buddy?
