@ starty, hope there's plenty chocolate involved as well. The anxiety pops up now and again.......luckily I recognise it before I use my old 'cure'

Morning Army Alkos :checkin:
Yes we NEED sunshine for vit D & Omega 3

Dr. Michael Crawford, PhD says “brain capacity is actually now decreasing due to the reduction of omega 3 consumption”. In short “the evolution of the human brain is in reverse, our brains are now very slowly shrinking”. Unfortunately today our omega 3 fat intake has declined significantly in our diets and according to Crawford “this increases our susceptibility to obesity, depression & inflammatory diseases”.

Dr Donald Rudin, author of the omega 3 phenomenon, has estimated that, over the past seventy-five years, we have reduced our omega 3 fatty acid consumption by 80%. Most important to brain function is Omega-3 made of two specific fatty acids: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). DHA is the most powerful element in brain chemistry that must be continually supplied to the brain through Omega-3 rich seafood, or the brain falters and malfunctions.
One important effect of DHA-deficient diets was seen in a study using the reward chemical dopamine, which found that long-term omega-3 deficiency raised dopamine levels in a region of the brain closely linked to addictive behaviour. This, in essence, could suggest a significant increase in susceptibility to addictive behaviours.

Mother is not well - may have to be hospitalised. Has a second chest infection in a month and is struggling to breathe.
On steroids - but we need to watch her.
To add to that - found a full bottle of red wine under young Satz mattress - not sure if he drank it yet. I will check today.
But there is no recovery going on there - the mindset has not changed an iota
Still believes that alcohol can make him feel better / more creative / write better ( he's a journalist ) / happier ............... as long as he thinks that .................

Later Gaters

Good morning Army!!

Jackie - enjoy your holidays - hope you have sunny weather. Relax and rest up as much as you can. Hope Mr. JC relaxes as well!!

Starty - I'm sure a few days of the same will make you feel better as well. Hugs!!

Satzybum - what Jackie said. You first, then yer Mom, then whoever else you can manage.

Rusty - good to see you back.

Hi to RC and Mary when you drop by!

Molls, MOLLS, MOLLY!!!! MOLLY!!!!! Time to check in, lassie!!

Bit of a trying day today. Mr. Stirly's hearing has improved ever so slightly so that is a good sign. but he's grumpy being in hospital. Younger son is moving out of his home today. His wife asked for a divorce and today is the day he leaves. Moving in with me, as I've said before, so much patience needed all round!

Hope you all have an enjoyable day!

I KNOW Jacks - he's here under my feet all the time. I wish he's move out. But that ain't gonna happen.
Though he has been interviewing for jobs & going to aftercare & AA meetings.
Mind you that is the first alcohol I've seen in the last week. And I know where to look.
I'm not trying to fix him - just gatherin' ammo - if he EVER tries to deny it....:haha:

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Mr Arcey & Molls get yer arses back here .......... I suspect yiz are away for differing reasons but I found while I was away I felt worse.
I've discovered MWO is a constant - always there - in my world where everything is changing !!!

That's down to a collection of folk here in The Army mainly & a few on other threads who never give up spreading the good word ...... drinking alcohol is a mug's game

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

I'm still here ..........I've got him at Tesco looking for proper ginger pop for me.

Have you got it all in a little notebook......you know like the police carry and can itemize the deed and time..........listen I'm joking...........it must be fucking hard. Wish I could get him to meet a couple of lads who come into the meetings at work.........one's and ex-triathlete and the other a chef (not surprisingly there's a lot of alkie chefs) and they're round about his age. I've seen them both at their worst and to watch them now is nothing short of a miracle. The chef's picked up his knives again and is cooking private dinners and functions and the other lads now working for the D&A services. Talented people will be talented without alcohol........look at Eric Clapton and me

Satzy - I've forgotten - how old is young Satz?
Hiya Jackie-still-here-Claire!!

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Yo

I is here. Just been for last long run before London next weekend. And the thought of trying to get through London on Sunday morning in time for the start and the stress at the end for getting back to the airport in time is, well, stressing me out way more than running a marathon would do!

Trying to do a bit of writing before a treat of watching the F1 qualifications (another wee addiction).

Yes - Molls, get back in here. Pronto.

Backinabit-

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Afternoon all. Bon voyage JC, have a blast. :hug: Satz, echo what the others say.

You have made me feel a bit lazy RC with all your talk of running. Think I’ll go out and do a bit in the garden.
