Nor me JC.

Yes, you would have thought that the memory would stop relapses. Funny how it fades and we begin to tell ourselves it wasn't that bad.

Nighty night, lovelies.
Going to try and make sense of this film on Channel 4............its got Denzel in...........if not its Iron Man 3.

This is really interesting. Thanks kuya https://youtu.be/WQQUjDNtLSA

Glad you enjoyed it. Three principles can be tricky to get your head around initially but the beauty is that once you "get it" there is nothing to do. The understanding changes you.

The 3 principles are an interesting way of looking at things, aren't they, Starty? I was telling Kuya that the idea that our reality comes from within for me fits with forgiving, being grateful, and realizing that most of the time, the only thing I can control is my response. What I experience when those things are in place is so much different than when they're not. And isn't what I experience my reality? Kuya might start a thread to explore these ideas.

You guys are lucky to have the BBC! I just watched this online: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3_EHf2...qC9ZzHiwjRcg6g.

Hope you're having a good day!

I watched this and have forwarded to my son who is prediabetic and will benefit a lot from it....thanks NS

Hello everyone hope you all are well. I'm home now from my retreat alcohol free. It was there but I didn't have any interest. Which felt great. It was also really nice not to really even think about it for a few days. It's so weird. I feel like I'm back to where I was before my relapse. But I couldn't be..? Or maybe I've been wanting this lifestyle for longer then I knew and just kept drinking because I couldn't get off the merry go round once I started again. Who knows, but it's great to be back. Spinning around is really terrible.

I would like to know more so I can get my head around it. Where do I start Kuya?

I watched the programme too. Very good, it is so useful to all of us to realise what we put in our bodies is so very important

That is amazing Choices I am beginning to feel that way too. When things are tricky the old mind still hankers back for "something" but it is fading and can usually be quieted by a nice snack.

Totally get the merry go round. Once on is soo hard to jump off. It is just easier to not get on

[starty]

Molls are you feeling better today? I do hope so, it sounds like your bug hit you very badly

[starty]

Hi Molls, so glad you are feeling better.

I am meeting her today!! Really looking forward to it. We are meeting at a garden centre about half way between each of us for coffee and cake and a mooch around the shopping bit. What are you up to today?

[starty]

I will !

Your day sounds fab. So glad Jilly has a love interest to keep her on her toes ....and out of your hair

Off to walk the doggers now. Have a lovely day all and I will catch you laters xxx

[IamMary]

Morning Molly and Starty and anyone about.

Its a nasty horrible day-for-bed out there.
I was out last night, again, grand though as the pub was on the way up to the Dublin mountains, so no one questioned me driving.
Lots of talk about 'the craic' at this wedding and that wedding and plans to all go and get hammered, so I did feel, shit, I'll never be able to play with the gang again - anyway, no head on me this morning, so hallelujah to that:happy2:
Must read up on the 3 principles - sounds very interesting, could do with something extra to focus the head over these few weeks.

Have a lovely lunch Molly - Its a great tradition to have.
Starty, enjoy the afternoon, hope its a bit more pleasant over there..

Where is Sunny to tell us the sun is shining (speaking of which, there's a birthday today??)..

[satz123]

Morning - slept 12 hours
Unheard of

[JackieClaire]

Morning.........off to read back.

[JackieClaire]

How's this for something I just whipped up

[satz123]

It's a shitty day out - I have no car - young Satz up and off to an AA meeting - wow.
Mother's off gallivanting in Westport -
- so what can I do............................. nothing.................. that's what :yay:

[JackieClaire]

Aww Satz, the young 'un going to AA makes my heart glad as much as you having a day off.
