Evening ladies, sorry your not feeling good Molly dear. Cant stop long, dinner nearly ready then I am off up to my mindfulness/meditation class. During last weeks class it was described as 'befriending ones self' Sounds just what a newly clean alcho needs to relearn, for self esteem isn't very high on my list of attributes if truth be told.

[JackieClaire]

Think we run out of steam. January feels about a year long.

Hey, Martha.............well done on those 9 days. :thumbsup:

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

Xpost Martha, well done on getting through the weekend. They get easier I reckon. For me I needed to get into my head that the weekend was no different to any other day really. More time to do things I enjoy maybe, and poisoning myself is definitely off of the menu.

I like the sound of that............I'm of the impression that there are many of us here with little or no self esteem. I'm still working on mine............have some terrible lows sometimes.

Morning everyone.

Last day of a particularly bollixy month that I will not be sorry to say bye bye to. And yes it has been so very looooooong.

Yep I think for us alkies self confidence and loving ourselves comes low on the list in many cases. Probably cos we checked out when others were learning that stuff.

Was talking to my bro about stressful worklives, he thinks that businesses all over are stressful and most are feeling it which is kinda comforting in a way. Also we discussed about having a boring job which I had many years ago which was equally soul destroying. Like most things in my life there is no middle way. If I had to choose, I would definitely choose the job I have now which is telling.

Well done Martha for your 9 days. A good solid start to an amazing journey!

[starty]

Molls, sorry you are feeling poorly. Are you better today? Wassup?
