That would be the Brits, I'm afraid.........we've just won our first medal on the snow since the Ice Age.

Army Thread Sunday 9th February

Posted this over on Shout -out thread but better here I think :
It goes :
I do not even think of alcohol - to be honest...... not in the isolating way I used to which is strange
But then I have simplified my life - maybe too much :H
I was somewhat bored yesterday evening and that was always my excuse to drink .... but thankfully it didn't enter my head. That would have filled the hours ... but what is the point of that.
Do I want a life that's just filling in - NO.
So I am going to now find something to interest me - open up new circles : Meditation - going to a session next 2 Sundays to learn how to do it right :thumbs:

DISCUSS..............

YES !! in one Molls

EDIT:
When I give up work -I know I'll find SOMETHING rewarding - I have to !

ah we do that sort of shite too -- we've some Irish shagger streeling in 10th in a race or something and they 'miss' who comes 1st 2nd and 3rd --- does my HEAD in!!!!!
Our phones are a bleeping here with texts. SIL and the luvverly Jenz are big skiers. As long as Jenz doesn't take up snow-boarding I'll be a happy Mammy.

Actually have to smile watching the cross country skiing and apparently going to get the best result ever..............that'll be about 3rd last. Commentators getting a tad over excited.

Spot on, Missus

Gawd lazy is my middle name.....but the house is clean if a bit muddled.

Alcohol just doesn't have a place in my life.........me head used to be in bits with the planning, obtaining, hiding, arguing with myself etc etc..............think I'm at peace with myself...........which obviously spreads to the rest of the family.

And I have my knitting..............first attempt at a grown up jumper coming soon.

Dreamy............. what time do you call this young lady...........where you been and what you been doing?

Left you all on your ownsome Tips - sorry!

Was a bit cabin-feverish - drove to the dam, took piccies, back now (obviously, duh); guess I have to think about food - see no reason why I can't braai, it's a lovely day here! But perhaps a nana nap first. Oh, the joys of a lazy Sunday!

Roxy - well done! That first weekend was hell for me - I don't think I left the house; after that it really was plain sailing. I sometimes wonder why I was so lucky to "get it! the first time round, and why other people have a collection of Day 1s. Not complaining, though, not at all. Was chatting to brother 2 - his wife seems to have stopped as well; she's been in rehab twice, and basically got out and more or less went straight to the bottle store both times.

That April meet-up sounds soooooooooooo good!!! Green with jealousy here. Are you going to draw lots to see who's going to have to stay sober to be the DD? :H:H

Later!

Ye know Dreamy - I STILL automatically think of the pub / restaurant & drinks when I think of a meet-up / reunion.
Molls talks about her shyness - me too - I think I used alcohol always as an ice breaker and I think therein lies the problem.
I am quiet by nature - believe it or not :egad: - and the alcohol brought me out of that !!.
Now I have to fly solo ( sober)

NOW - I'm gone
Later gang !

Goof for you getting out and about.............it's bewdiful bright crisp fecking freezing winter day here............and I'm not stepping over the door step.

Just remember my first AF Sunday 12th July..............the daughter did a 5K run, moved into a flat share and witnessed a mugging.............now that would have given me the biggest excuse in the world to drink but I didn't. I was there for her every step of the way.

We'll have to try a bit of Skype so you can see our bewdiful faces.
