G man the comeback!

[Guitarista]

Can I count with ya Mr G :eyes:

You know you can Starterfarter!

Another yoga class today. Sheesh, gotta say i'm hot for teacher. The rest of the class are easy on the eye too, well maybe apart from the bloke on the mat next to me who i'll call Ferdinand. Ferdy looked a little older than me but his flexibility was pretty advanced. No-one likes a show pony buddy! I was sweating after only a few minutes like you would after a few rounds on the bag, and this is just holding stretches/positions. Not for pussies. Respect!

Morning from the beach pad. Day 9 and i'm counting for now. Why? cause i want to see those AF days rack up like jewels in a buried treasure. Yo!

Hiya Mr. G!!

You know what - this is the first time I ever counted my sober days. I always scoffed at those that did. Thought it to be downright foolishness. This time, however, after a few days sober, I suddenly realized that I had chalked up a whole week without AL and then I thought - hey, in not too many more days, I'll be in the double digits. That got me started and on every day of my daily planner I write what sober day I'm at. It really does give you a sense of accomplishment whether it's day 3 or day 3000. It's you doing what is best for you - keeping AL's sorry butt out of your life. Onward and upwards, my friend. Enjoy your day!!

Yo W'dup?

Onwards and upwards indeed Stirlywhirly.

Gig tonight yeaah....then up early to move my old piano from storage to a friend of a friends place who's happy to keep it for me until i move to a joint where i can fit it, and that will be a magnificent day. Working towards that, but first things first which is maintaining sobriety. Day 10. Starty, where u at girl? Countin?

[treetops]

You can do this Mr G and any days sober are never wasted. Good luck with the pesky piano!

[Rusty]

Mr. G-I am in your corner, rooting for you all the way!:heartbeat::heartbeat:

Hey friend! Just popping in to say good day... hanging close to the site and saw your 9 days! Well done. Those are the hard yard ones. I like counting too. I have no idea why. I guess because it's fun. I add up my very beginning days in 2010 until now to feel pretty good too. I am a yoga lady myself... Our class is filling up with a lot more guys. I'm liking the energy! And eye candy myself! wink

[Guitarista]

Thanks TT, Rusty and Choices!

Top of the saturday morning to you.

Fab gig wit me band last night. Noice feedback a bonus, but i had a gr8 time. No probs with booze cravings at all. Very content hanging all night watching the other bands till end of night. One band there were telling me of their upcoming little tour of Europe. Got me real motivated.

Moving my piano this morning. Not real straightforward. Be glad when that's over.

Morning reader. Sun's out, noice.

Bustin out some riffs today wit my band. All pretty good here. L8tr Yo!

Morning from the beach pad. Around 23c and sunny forecast today. Noice.

Day 13 and i'm counting the days for now. But not the minutes. Plenty of fab things to do and to live for. Why just exist and not live? Boring. Just existing can seem a safe option, but that is an illusion. If i am not living and growing, then i am dying. If i should be so lucky to have the attention of any angels and demons lurking, then maybe on this the 13th day there is a battle or at least a bet on which way the young fella from the south will go. But i will not assume there is such care either way. I will forge my track regardless, oblivious to any such otherwordly shenannigans. Day 13, the day it turns around. No looking back.

Morning reader,

Well, day 13 went without a hitch, apart from a huge bolt of lightning hitting my weathercock and what looked like a horse with a unicorn flying over my rooftop.

Day 14. No turning back.

[lex]

"No turning back"- I like that talk! And I believe you on that!

[Choices]

Now I have a vision of back to the future meets never ending story! I'm a bit deflated back to day 1 but all wasn't lost.. 1/2 a glass... And I don't want to count it but if I don't.. I may think I can handle it.. And I don't want to just battle this thing all the time. Onwards and upwards... No cravings here either.

[Guitarista]

Glad you're back in the game Choices. Your AF time was not in vain. Having a drink for me after some AF time is dangerous ground, as it opens the door again bio-chemically within, which in turn affects my mood and thinking. As long as we are learning something from this, and putting this knowledge to use.

Hi Lex!

[starty]

Mr G can I ask a question? When you fell off the wagon did any of your friends comment or were they pleased that you were drinking again? I am curious as to what others think when we change our standpoint with booze (as happens with me)
