Hi Mario, how you doin? Are you in Sp or Port?

[mario]

Portugal, its a bit cloudy here at the moment.

Nobody around, tis like a graveyard.

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

Nothing wrong with a nice bit of peace and quiet. Beautiful country and friendly people, I love the place. Are you near Lisboa or on the Algarve?

[mario]

Algarve I based, But I am all over when working. Yes it is lovely here & I sometimes forget how lucky I am to live in a place where I always wanted to live. I have been very fortunate in my life even though I have had my ups 7 downs , just like us all.

How doing you & where is starts these mornings ?

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

You made it happen because you wanted to live there, luck doesn't come into it. Lagos is may favourite spot down that way.
Starty is still around and doing well, she was posting on Sunday.
I am flying ta.

Good morning,

Have I told you I've taken a cheeky 2 weeks off work........or as I only do one day a week that's really only 2 days. Although I love the place my enthusiasm was starting to wane and also they're fully staffed in the office so decided to take a step back for a couple of weeks and have a think.

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

Good going on the sugar crap Mario.

Morning JC, never a bad idea to take a step back from things and take a fresh look from a different perspective. You may well be go back with twice the enthusiasm.

Hi all, sorry I am so crap just now. Not really loving life at the mo. Will try to do better xxx

[Lost Soul]

Hi all,
Noticed your post in the feeds, Starty, sorry you are feeling crap now x You very kindly replied to my thread & I really appreciated & found I could relate to your experience with 'coming back' from relapse well found it very helpful :happy2: Thankyou
I know I'm not long AF, but think being a survivor of alcohol abuse at any length of time is no easy feat & we should all remember how much strength it takes to achieve. Chances are, using AL has negatively impacted us all in different ways so I think it's ok to feel some sadness/loss at times because of this which is normal. I try to forgive myself & allow myself to & move on (Easier said than done!). Don't feel bad for feeling whatever it is you are x
Hope your all keeping well - LS

Mario - just 'bumped up' the 'Sugar Free challenge' thread for us.
There is some brilliant information on there .............. for hidden sugars which can keep the sweet tooth going without us noticing and make it almost impossible to stay off sugary foods.

[JackieClaire]

Evening,
Oh good we didn't frighten you off,Lossy.
Never thought of myself as a survivor of alcohol abuse..........I like it.

Taken advice from two beauts on here (Molls & Satz) and started writing a list and going to make an appointment with my boss. Thinking of doing more hours and asking that when I do turn up one of the admin staff can give me 5 minutes to give me a catch up on who's left, who's sick, who's on courses......for a start. I actually wouldn't mind shadowing one of the workers for a few hours.

I'm a volunteer with an alcohol/drug place over here, Lossy.

[JackieClaire]

So I'm still stuck with 60 mini frozen chocolate eclairs?

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

Evening all.
JC I brought all the sweetie stuff left over from Chrimbo and left them in the kitchen in work, mostly scoffed by the gannets I work with by now haha.
Just back from a 1 1/2 hour Thai deep tissue massage I treated myself to, paid with by the money I would have poured down my throat the past week or so. Gonna eat some food now and I think a long soak in the bath is on the cards.

Ah poor Starty, this too will pass my friend. I wish I could package up some of my happiness at being sober right now and send you a big box of it.
