Hey Mr. G,

Would love to hear about your experience on the the first visit to the program. Much respect for making a big step in getting things right.

I find life is a very difficult balancing act between the past and what I want to make of my future. Unfortunately the past is known and the go to alcohol routine is very familiar yet the future is unknown so I don't have the comforts that are familiar. It's such a learning experience about who we are and sometimes a very difficult one.

Only the very best G!

Thanks A dub, SL, Ava, Nora!

Indeed A dubbya.

1st day was ok. Not a lot to report as yet. Adjustment period. Looks a good group, around 10 of us. Will reflect and no doubt have more to say towards end of the week when we've got stuck into it. Optimistic.

Take it easy out there.

I wonder if you know how many people you uplift every day? You are a special man and I feel as if someone has put a warm blanket over me when I read your posts. Just wanted to tell you that.

Hello SK.

Yes,
Mr.G is a very special bloke. I love him to bits but would never tell him that. :l

Hi Mr. G,

Definitely make the most of your experience, take what's relevant and helpful out and leave what's not behind. This is your ME time!

Back off girls!!! G-Man is mine!! He even promised he would push me in my wheelchair and take me on a tour of the dump! I bet he never said that to any of you now did he? :youwish:

Lol Niner!

Thanks Rags and Pauly. That's nice.

Will do A dub. One thing i learned which a few of us kind of know is that when drinking hard, we don't get any REM sleep ever. So our sleep is never restful and we are exhausted 24/7. Add that to the tiredness and lethargic feeling AL brings!

Looking forward to a CBT session today. We have 10 of these over 6 weeks lasting 2 hrs each with a break in the middle. This will be the second session.

I also have almost finished an assignment for Uni (in the home stretch and will finish today in time) which i have to have in this friday, along with a presentation. They only wanted 1500 words, but i note i've written around 5000! 7 hours yesterday slaving over a hot PC, but i'm confident the quality is good and i've directly addressed all the questions asked, so feeling happy with it. Will miss rehab on friday as i'll be in class, but that's cool as the requirement is 80% attendance of the CBT sessions. There is some flexibility as they recognize folks have medical, family, or other committments that crop up.

Thursday morning here, and grabbing a coffee. Cool and windy, about 12C forecast.

Take it easy y'all.

How nice that they let you have computer access. Learn any new good buzz words?

Hi Jane,

I'm doing an outpatient rehab, so it's not residential. 5 days per week and I go home each night. Their reasoning for that is so folks can exercise their new skills against cravings/negative thinking right away etc. Nope, i won't tell em about MWO. This place is sort of special to me and i don't want too many folks knowing what i get up to. lol.

Isn't it a bugger when you're on a roll and the thoughts just keeps rolling along and then the essay is finished... YAY!!! Then you find you have to make cuts to get it in the required 1500 words and EVERY word you wrote is pertinent and you just don't want to cut anything out.
Are you going to drastically edit, or hand it in a few words over?

Rags, I've handed it in today 5000 words plus. They are not going to accuse me of not enough detail! They can take what they need and leave the rest. I'm not going to edit a masterpiece. :H

The weekend is here. Back to rehab school monday. We have a CBT session and some financial education for those who are having problems plus one or 2 other 'classes.' I have a one on one 'motivational enhancement' session for an hour with a counsellor on tuesday. We have 5 or 6 of these, one a week. My first ever 'counselling' style session, so will be interesting. It will be about where my thinking is now, and how i take it forward in a positive way. Looking forward to it.

L8tr G8tr's.
