And its good morning from me

[mario]

Well...

[mario]

I was to come here at 0530 this morning, but thought better of it.

[JackieClaire]

jeez where did you two come from ?

I rolled outta bed and went into autopilot.............click kettle, turn lappy on, arrive here and have a morning read.

Have a good day Molly , & hello to you jc

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

Morning folks, woke this morning feeling like I have a hangover which is impossible he hastenly adds. I guess it's my body still adjusting to not having lots of AL injested every single day, or maybe I am coming down with something.

[mario]

Good morning senior KTAB , maybe you got some bug ? Or maybe your body is trying to withstand the changes that are happening within you ?

Otherwise how doing you ?

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

I am absolutely flying on the AF front Mario, it's a bit scary tbh. But as I said before something just finally clicked and my whole outlook and attitude to drinking has completely changed. I am so happy and grateful to be sober right now and not planning my next drink for tonight. I see it as an amazing gift that I have given myself and feel I am definitely on the road to healing myself after years of abuse.

Isn't that a mazing Ktab, that it finally just hit you, without taking it away from you but that's exactly what happened me , Its just amazing.

If I may ask / are you getting or doing any out side help & support ? I understand if you don't like to say yet .

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

Nope, just me and you guys. I have to pop out now but will post on my thread later about what I am up to.
It sure is amazing, not sure where it came from but I can see why AA talks about a higher power whatever you conceive it to be. Pleased to hear that it mirrors your experience, maybe one day I will be celebrating 8 years, who knows. Got run.

[JackieClaire]

That'll be a defo read, Tabbers.

I've always had a funny feeling I'm being looked after by someone or something that I can't explain. My Granny always said it was my Granddad who died the year before I was born..........I wouldn't have dared argue with her.

At the end of the day we all are doing the same work, AA,CA,SOBER.ORG & & many other ways out of this life are like guide posts, They point in the direction in which we have to go, But we member's of these fellowships etc have to find there own best way to live the programs, We all don't do it exactly alike, whether by quite times in the mornings or working with others, We have to lean to live the program & by living the programme you will find your path, imo.

Have a good day Ktab,

Good Morning, Army!

Mario-I just looked at your signature line, and I love this:

The ones that say You cant, You wont, are probably the ones scared that You will,,, Lets do it.

I bet you are very good at your work. Your patients/clients are lucky to have you in their lives.

Jackie-thank you for responding to my post yesterday. I guess the girls were released from the hospital after about 12 hrs. there. I don't know if they received a visit from a drug and alcohol counselor...they were picked up by their parents later in the day. It just seems to be so common here with young people....overdosing on AL and meds. Frightening! I have the whole week off so I hope it's OK if I pop in. Thank you for always making me feel welcome, Jackie!

Off to the gym!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Morning..

Welcome rusty, love your posts.. mostly flying in out so didn't respond yesterday, But I was thinking about it (did you not get my virtual post sent by MaryBrain!). Have daughters and am not relishing the idea of letting them loose into the big bad world. Son too - but they will find their way.

Tabbers, your an inspiration this weather!
