Morning all
Great to see a full house again :heart:
Welcome back Roxy & Foxy :hug:

We welcome Rags & Mick to our humble abode.
There is a time lock on the fridge to stop our grub being removed to the Daily AF thread. ( you know who you are )

I put on 'my mask' this morning & came in to the workhouse.
I'm afraid that is how I see it these days.
Get up - put on 'the face' and off you go .................
HAS to be more to life ............

Anyhoo - that's enough of the neggies for now !

god that sounded preachy Benj --- didn't mean it like that ---- what DID I mean --- not sure really ---- maybe what I'm saying is --- personally - when I'm happy enough with life generally my job doesn't get me down -- but when there's other things or I just have the glums --- my job seems horrible..... so yeah -- that's just ME --- sorry --- shouldn't have projected that onto you --- foot in mouth disease lately

- not preachy at all - that makes some sense to me Molls and you are probably right.
I'm annoyed I've let my regular exercise regime slip and have become and feel a slob - but can't drum up the enthusiasm even for a walk at weekends.
But I do feel like a dinosaur in here at the moment. No interest at all in anything they have to say.
So suppose it is the glums and this place not helping.

Thanking you all over the gaff to annoy you :haha:

What mask ?

[satz123]

OK -I'm away now for something to eat and amateur play to go see -Jesus ! (promised himself I'd go while in a jolly mood over Christmas) :egad:
Haven't even 'the drink' to blame for that one !
I'll be late home - so leave a key under the plant.

Behave & Hhve a nice evening all :horse:

I got mine around a year 13 months.............bloody awful but I think it may be a wee bit early for you Shams.

For the sleep............http://alcoholrehab.com/alcohol-reha...arly-recovery/

It may be a wee bit early for PAWS..............from my experience in the early days I was all over the shop and could basically have written that post .........the oddest one was my muscles ached and I realised it was because I was sooooooooooo tense.......it does pass.

Now all about me...........firstly found out today that a friend has got ovarian cancer and she's going to have her ovaries removes full hysterectomy...after that we don't know what the treatment will be after that.

Went to the dentist...........cracked tooth, infected root, mega antibiotics............to be followed by a root canal and if that doesn't work an extraction.

Cheery little soul aren't I.

[JackieClaire]

Going for 3 in a row here............just saw this on FB.

“Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes.
Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more.
You’re doing just fine.”

I likes it.

Bloody hell, Jacks. Sorry to hear about your friend....and your tooth...I'm dreading going to the dentist after years of not being particularly arsed due to boozing and not looking after myself. Thanks for the info...I've highlighted the ones that apply to me..

•Feeling like you’ve been asleep for years and can’t handle the simplest situation without “using.”
•Feeling grief in letting go of your use.
•Feeling “stranded” and wonder “what now?”
•Feeling like you lost the friends or family who are still using.
•Feeling that sobriety is like punishment or being deprived.
•Feeling strange during ordinary activities because you have forgotten how to do things sober.
•Pain from other problems can suddenly resurface.
•You can have trouble thinking clearly.
•You might struggle with anxiety or depression.
•You might feel overwhelmed.
•You might “space out.”
•Impulsive behaviors can pose a challenge.
•Your emotions can run to extremes with anger, self-pity, hopelessness, or defensiveness.
•It might be difficult to remember things.
•It can be difficult to commit to things.
•Your physical coordination might not work as well.
•You might have trouble sleeping.
•You might constantly stress about every aspect of life.
•You might feel numb or “drugged” with emotions—depression, anger, helplessness—just like when you were using

..seems like mine are mostly physical atm...got the mental/emotional stuff to come...hope I dodge those...
