Morning army its cool and raining here again. Sorry i've not been on in a few days My internet was a bit slow and my lappie is barely 2 yrs old. I don't internet on my pone but i'm quite short sighted and the words wud most likely be too small. Well done Inchy and i hope Reccie is doing ok. Must read back on last nights tread too. Sory to report i slipped again for a few days and i'm back on day 2. Feel dreadful again today and yesterday was worse as i threw up twice was shakey and tired and the same today but not being ill. I had to stay in bed most of yesterday and still in bed now after a bad nights sleep. Going to have to get either ant-buse or campral and get more AA meetings in. I can't keep slipping like this it takes days to get back on track. Anyway thanks for being here for me i need all the help and support i can get.:upset: Have a good thursday at your various jobs.

Hang in there, Firefox! I can't say enough good things about Antabuse. I was the same - no willpower to quit for good and kept slipping. I couldn't get more than a few days of AF time in. Now I'm on 17 days and sleep is better, work is better, workouts are better, just everything is better.

Morning all Hope you are all well. Working from home today - thought I could sleep in a bit, but the body clock was not having it! Raining here in Philly which is good since we just planted the yard - we are in a rain deficit so anything helps. Have a good day all

:hallo: Army

Back from service provider event. Had a lovely breakfast, and the presentations afterwards were actually worthwhile. A lekker goodie bag - nice pen, notebook and memory stick, amongst others. Back home now - part of the work-from-home brigade today. Have to take mum to the dermatologist over my "lunchtime" - she had a cancerous growth removed some time ago, and it has come back.

A big well done to Inchy.
Yep...really well done inchy. :goodjob: And congratulations on the 150 days, spidey, that's a fantastic achievement!

JackieClaire;1503201 wrote: Thinking about Reccy myself, Molls. Wondering if he had another appointment yesterday.
I did Jackie. Nearly missed it cos I wasn't quite safe to drive when I woke up. Did a hasty google and found I could get to where I had to be via 2 buses and made it to the bus stop with 15 seconds to spare. I'm starting to get the hang of this bus taking lark! The appointment went ok, but I didn't quite hit my target of 140 units for the week...ended up with 149. This week's target is 105 which may also prove to be a little overambitious. :upset:

JackieClaire;1503209 wrote: Yep. The paid stuff today.
Week on Saturday for his Lordship.
I trust things will go well for Mr JC. Is he nervous about it?

That is a shame whizzy. :l I guess it's going to take a bit of time for him to get used to the new you. I'm sure he prefers the way you are now to how you were when you were drinking.

I wonder how she is. Maybe Jackie can enlighten us?

Roasted butternut squash and apple soup with chilli oil. I never make afters. Can't be bothered really and most of them seem to contain rather a lot of calories.

Hey Ms A - hear you on the other half issue
Takes a while for them to realise and accept the change.
I think I was the one causing all the arguments when I was drinking - 'cos for a while Mr S was so defensive. Used to shout back and I hadn't even said anything. Kinda prempted my response.:H
But then I didn't respond and he looked bemused.
Oh I'm deffo much happier camper these days. I like to think I am now very zen like and calm ommmmmmmmmmm !!!

Dunno bout the job yet either - you asked earlier Reccie, it's an electrician that was working for Simon up to a month or so ago - he's got a contract and is looking for a team, and apparently asked for Joey cos he's a good wee grafter..... we'll see!!!!

Everything crossed Mollers :goodluck:

My theory is that we are calm and that rubs off on them Molls ?
Takes a while as the dregs of the narkiness is still there - but deffo change in both parties !
Wasn't calm in work today however -- zen went out the shagging window when I encountered THE rudest woman I have met in all the years I've been in the library --- I was in a right friggin tantrum so I was!!!!

Now Molls - you need to take the high ground here. The 'lady' has the issues - feel sorry for her being so unhappy in herself that it makes her a narky cow - and tries to bring others down too.
and just let it float past you !
running now to avoid missiles :H
