I'm watching Masterchef Australia recorded from earlier, it's Heston Blumenthal week!
Nothin wimpy bout that --- my second son was an arsonist ---- FASCINATED by fires when he was a lad --- he used to go round all the housing estates and light their bonfires ahead of halloween --- jaysus -- dunno how we weren't bombed out of house and home --- so have an absolute hatred and fear of out of control bonfires!!!
The guys who were lighting the bonfire and setting off the fireworks were all drinking too. Bonfires fireworks and alcohol, recipe for disaster!Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it! ~ Goethe

Love Masterchef anywhere --- I'd love to be able to cook like that --- if I was a young one again I would definitely have trained as a chef --- it's the one thing that sort of animates me career-wise!Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

Three weeks and a bit ago I was flat on my face. I had done 90 odd days sober, then for some crazy reason went on a binge like never before. I was literally on my knees when I called AA. I couldn't put another drink in my mouth, but I had to. Compulsion. , I had managed all that time without drink, but I hadn't really fixed anything.
What I am getting from AA right now is the personal touch. I meet people every day who get me, who understand. I spoke to JC when I was coming out of my last binge about SMART recovery meetings. That didn't work out. But it does help to have that contact and support on a personal level. I have met great people and heard amazing things. So yes, it is working for me right now.
I have only come across one person that I know from the outside. It wasn't awkward, just a 'oh, so you have a problem too' moment. Even after three short weeks, people care about me, how I am doing, do I need anything. The 12 steps, the higher power, all that really means very little to me right now. All I care about is being sober. Not lifting the first drink. Doing it one day at a time.Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it! ~ Goethe
