Stop talking so much Roxy - I warned you before

[JackieClaire]

Morning.

Ahh Glitzy, wish I could afford Clinique........love there stuff especially their moisturiser.

Mary.I.am............used to go to AA many, many years ago and would blink an eye to go again if I needed something extra. I volunteer at a drug & alcohol place doing reception .........so I'm really lucky in the fact I can natter to all kinds of people using all kinds of support.

:hyper: LOVE Saturday morning

Mr S due back from Galway today - the peace is gone

Will need to clean - :egad:
(said as I lie in the leaba)

[JackieClaire]

Forgot the pinch and punch and white rabbits stuff

[satz123]

Morning all lazy (er) lumps
What is the white rabbit stuff.
Don't do that here :headscratch:- unless it totally went over my head.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

White rabbits.
Sun is shining. Must get up too.
I used to use Clinique glitzy, but then they discontinued the foundation I loved. Gorgeous stuff but not cheap!!

Do you all do AA meetings?

I went to a few different meetings over the years Mary and in a few different places, cities even. I have no problem with the whole higher power concept its the terrible uncomfortableness I feel in a room of strangers and no way would I speak out.

everyone has a different level of support that they need at different times of their recovery imo --- I was going NOWHERE --- fast --- just kept relapsing --- culminated in me actually going to an in-house rehab down in Wexford --- which was MINDBLOWINGLY wonderful --- best thing I've ever done.... it did have an element of AA support and I committed to doing 1-2 AA meetings a week for 2 years - and Aftercare ---- after the 2 years I felt that mwo was maybe enough ---- but I do have a network of people in recovery that I can call on if in crisis with my recovery - which is one of the good points of AA -- I do think many who need a lot more tho settle for just mwo --- and it may not be enough....

Why are my ears burning? :egad: Na feeling good today, and will feel good tomorrow morning, hangover free Sundays are my favourite day.

[JackieClaire]

I have no idea...........we used to do it at school and I didn't like to ask.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Sorry, I mean to say good morning, rabbits and pinches and whatever all that stuff means.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

itsallaboutme.com hahahahaha

[JackieClaire]

We've now got SMART running 7 days a week in Newcastle........in various places and a new one just starting up Recovery Advocates North East................sort of a cross between AA & Smart...........

In fact I may and this is just a may get involved with the NADE but the woman to talk to is on holiday.

[JackieClaire]

Its a pay-day shop today.........we can afford jam that doesn't say mixed fruit.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Its ok Molly I have the gardening covered, its a gorgeous day here.

We all find our own way to the same goal hopefully. Combinations of all the support avenues and learn what works and what doesn't.
MWO - the Army in particular - was what saved me. No two ways about it.
The straight talking Molls & Jacks :hug:
The AB you gave me in the early days certainly helped me Molls - took away the choice.
I only took it once a week but it was enough to get me though some dodgy situations while I learned life is possible without alcohol.

[JackieClaire]

We've found in this house that July actually has at least 2 weeks longer than the rest of the world.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

I will grab the power washer out of the garage as soon as I finish this coffee ok.
Jeez very demanding....
