Afternoon all. Well this is lovely, me off on the old thread all on my lonesome like Billy no mates and you lot are here having a grand old chat :sad::newhere: so I brought my post along with me.


Today, 07:12 AM Join the Army Against Alcohol - February 2017
And its a good morning from me folks. Dog sorted, fresh smoothy made and gone, 3 step breathing space practice done, now listening to some music and reading the news. Guess who doesn't have a hangover, a dry mouth, a fuzzy head, heavy eyelids and a feeling of regret at having f**ked up again, thats right ME. Now here is a little tune to get yiz up and started this morning:

Yea Jc that's what I thinking about, it deffo would help, I don't have many overheads so I can live very cheaply, even though I have a great social life etc, But I getting on & cant do this forever...

I can only speak personally Mario but it all depends on what you need at this stage of your life most. As you know I ran my own business for a number of years and worked very long hours. When there was a bad downturn in the economy in 2008-9 I struggled really hard to keep my head above water for a couple of years but eventually but it fell victim along with many others and financially it was really tough. These days I have a job which suits me really well. The pay is awful for a man with my experience but in all other aspects it suits, short hours, short commute, left alone to do the job in hand and if I am honest I seldom get out of my comfort zone ability wise, stress what stress?. Fifteen years ago I was full of ambition and took on a lot, it was hard but I enjoyed it. These days I don't need the stress and long hours anymore, life is simpler even if we don't have anywhere the disposable income. As I say it all depends what is ultimately the most important consideration to you right now and in the future.

Actually thinking of moving out to Thailand, lol lol lol :sohappy::congratulatory: You coming Ktab ?

Thailand is a wonderful country, I would love to visit especially the north of the country. Elephant sanctuaries, Thai food, meditation, massage the list goes on......Welcome to Elephant Nature Park - Elephant Nature Park

Hey Pauly, how are you doing?

Re: Join the Army Agarinst Alcohol ..............Mad March 2017

I'm fine Tabbs thanks for asking, I just read the recent post in your thread about your yoga and meditation classes,I need to look into that, I do some at home but I think I'd take it more seriously if I were in a group setting, you're doing beautifully BTW keep it up

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

Re: Join the Army Agarinst Alcohol ..............Mad March 2017

Thats good and thanks Pauly. I can't recommend the yoga highly enough. While I am starting to practice at home a little I find the guided classes so much better right now. Give it a try for a class or two, sure what have you got to lose.

Had to fill in this blessed form for the tax office....then had to type a covering letter............good news is the new printer works...........but I reckon it would have been quicker writing it with a quill and a pot of ink.

Ahh wait 'til the lighter nights, Molls............it'll get you out of the house........( I sound like my Granny)

I've still not used that phone app for meditation. I was hopeless at relaxation in pre-natal classes..........either used to fall asleep or worse used to open one eye and catch the eye of another woman over the way doing the same and we'd get the giggles.

Tabbers, I'd have come and fetched you eventually.......honest.......well before April

Re: Join the Army Agarinst Alcohol ..............Mad March 2017

Re: Join the Army Agarinst Alcohol ..............Mad March 2017

Morning folks.

Evening folks --- youngest son Joey is in that elephant sanctuary as we speak Tabbers!!! heading to Laos tomorrow -- little bollix -- 8 weeks off and I'm lucky if I get a weekend in Athlone haha!!!! Pauly - we did both yoga and meditation in group in the treatment centre -- loved both but regularly found myself falling asleep in the wind-down of the yoga -- absolutely LOVED guided meditation - it was the highlight of my day -- would recommend it to anyone - and after a month of doing it daily I really can now meditate at will... still would much rather a group tho. but too lazy.... story of my life!

What an amazing coincidence that I should post that link yesterday, a friend of mine was there last year and said it was a fantastic experience.
I have only started doing the yoga & meditation this year but it is something I can see myself continuing with. You should give it another go, it is great on so many levels. Never managed to fall asleep yet but I could see how you could.

Rain forecast for tomorrow for two days, I find the weather forecasts here pretty accurate as its either raining or sunny, ;-0 Back home you have the four seasons in one hour.... bye bye & have a nice pleasant day no matter what the weather.

Enjoy your day Mario. Yeah where are you Startypants?
