I believe you may be right RC. However, now I'm obsessed and I believe I'm going to get myself one....

Re: August Army Manoevres
Hello everyone.
Feeling a lot better today. I think it was a bit of exhaustion and may have been something to do with going from absolute peace to 100mph in the workplace and not sleeping too well. Anyway yest had loads of nana naps, slept pretty well last night too. Did have a drinking dream tho! Even remember the scenario in my dream which is a bit scary. No matter, awake and sober with no intentions of relapse.
Such a busy thread these days, its lovely!
Pea, I get that feeling of not wanting to eat other than stuff like cereal. My go to is porridge or yogurt. Could happily eat them from morning til night with raisins :haha:
RC, having a friend like that must be great for you. Delighted you enjoyed your meet up.
Brit, enjoy your running. And well done on the record for the over 70s!!!! Amazing woman,
Satz, your young un, although frustrating, at least he keeps trying. One day it will stick if you dont throttle him before the magic happens :haha:
Molls, I admire you on the baby sitting. I have never really had to do it. It would terrify me!
Jax, when Mr J writes, get him to mention the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Put the wind up them
Chilling today, and lots of TLC methinksComment

Re: August Army Manoevres
Morning lovelies - it IS busy - jaysus lots of reading back these days.. I had lost my appetite for the last 3 weeks - no interest in food except like you say - oatmeal and yoghurts -- that's MAD!!! HOWEVER --- yesterday -- I ate ALL day --- grazing in and out of the fridge all day -- body is a strange critter for sure!!
Joe is off out with his bike mates -- so...…………………………….drum roll -- I HAVE THE HOUSE TO MYSELF!!!! Completely to myself - Jilly is down in Sligo - it was Joey's baba we had last night so presumably they'll be fed up of us and the older lads never come unannounced (like -- what's THAT about??) -- suits me!
Well done Whizzy - surely times don't matter? Maybe now that you're starting over re. the grog - not to just replace it with the running? Bit of mindfulness training or meditation? It becomes automatic so it's not a life long chore? Just an idea - would you think maybe because your running was all consuming that when a crisis came you hadn't the tools to deal with the drinking? Just a thought - not a criticism -- at ALL - I'm in awe of your running and hope you do it till you pop yer clogs!!
anti-social bint I am.. very warm here this morning - might get ye old hammock out in a bit and chill with my book -- ooooooommmmmmContentedly sober since 27/12/2011

Re: August Army Manoevres
Morning all - was off 'gawking' at clothes for upcoming holiday. My new addiction.
YS is off the proverbial wagon again ...... FFS!
Must have been paid this week.
Isolates & creeps in & out - I know the drill so well.
Now I won't be able to even look at him - it hurts too much to see what alcohol does to him ...... the shame is there to be seen ......Comment

Re: August Army Manoevres
Sorry to hear that Doc. It's a funny thing how we'd creep in and out, or try to hide it, when others knew fine well. Certainly with your situation as YS KNOWS his maw has had to deal with AL in her own life, knows how it works, how it affects us. Would;t it be easier just to be open with it? But then i suppose that's the denial - keeps it hidden so as it doesn't APPEAR to be a problem. Like, he knows it's a problem but he's still in denial about it?Originally posted by satz123 View Post
That was something me flat mate was saying about me - how for years and years i was in denial about the abuse (I always used to believe i was as responsible, it was as much my fault)... and even though these last few years I've KNOWN i was abused, i'd still deny it ever happened to those who it mattered most to me (me maw and paw). Until this summer.
Sorry - i know it's a totally different thing, but YS's hiding (and also mine when I did it with the booze) reminds me of knowing there's a problem yet simultaneously denying there's a problem.
FFS, we're fecking complicated little critters aren't we? :haha:Last edited by RunningCourage; August 19, 2018, 04:57 AM.Comment

Listen. long boring story but I ran into this today in a book about a completely different thing, but they were referencing detachment as defined by Al-Anon and it just hit me between the eyes : 7 Rules of Detachment - What I learned when I went to Al-Anon - Anaheim Lighthouse
I hope that link works. Sort of forgot how to use this site a bit.
It works in lots of situations I think, including you and young S.If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

Re: August Army Manoevres
Do you have to? Or could you have chocolate cake and coffee for breakfast and stay in your jammie pants all day and go garden in your jammie pants and only eat when you want to and binge a nice series on Netflix and don't do any tidying and just be a massive lush???Originally posted by mollyka View PostIf your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?
