    No redness, bit of bruising and the itchiness has gone.
    Retinal scan and facial recognition. I love the look of that coastline. Beautiful.
    If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

      I think I asked you once what part of Straylia you were in [MENTION=9170]byebyebridgetjones[/MENTION], our eldest daughter landed in Brisbane yesterday for work...but I'm not sure where the Sunshine Coast is lol. As you can tell, Geography wasn't one of my favourite courses!

      Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
      Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
      Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

        Secret knock and handshake?

        It's freezing most of the time and many layers of clothes are recommended.
        It could be worse, I could be filing.

              The Sunshine Coast is South West of Brisbane towards the border of NSW, which is where I am. Sadly, very far away from Brisbane or I'd look her up [MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION]. That's a long flight for work. I bet she was impressed (groan)

                Satzy is right, I should just move.

                I remember a certian adventure to a roman road in Northumberland many years ago. Never been so cold in my life. Misty and like a heathland or moor. It was astonishingly beautiful.

                        Hello Army.... I am watching the news on TV and there has been an apartment fire so horrible in London that CNN has been replaying the scene over and over. I hope no one anyone knows in The Army has loved ones or friends of friends of loved ones living in that building.

                          Good morning everyone. Just thought I would share a moment in my June sober journey. I am fortunate/blessed to have a lake house to escape to and oddly it was where I spent my first weekend sober, and by myself. It was hard as all the memories of drinking the days away was everywhere but my desire to become sober was stronger. There was beer still in coolers and a bottle of Vodka in the fridge but I was not even tempted as my need to escape the clutches of addiction were strong. I have learned to carve new experiences at the lake sober and been doing quite well. Fast forward 10 months later, this past weekend I went up to the lake this time again alone for the first time since and I find my son had borrowed a cooler and left all the old beers on the garage floor. More aggravated than anything. With all the chores I had to do staying busy was not a problem. Went to the grocery and when putting away the stuff I found myself face to face with the out of sight out of mind bottle of Titos. For the first time in a LONG time I actually was captured by this bottle and the notion of taking a drink. I had the perfect opportunity as there was no one around I could drink like old times for 2 days straight and no would know. It wasn't a real big deal to maintain my hard fought sobriety but I was really surprised that the bottle of vodka not only caught my eye but still had such an allure to me. Sure I could do what all us alcoholics should do and not have the stuff in the house but that bottle was not for me it is there for my wife and guests. That bottle in the cabinet is really no different than the liquor store a mile away. I still had 48 hours alone with no one to judge me if I wanted to have a bender. I didn't and no real cause for celebration because I didn't succumb as that is what I have worked so hard to do these past 10 months. I lost my battle with sobriety 14 times before in very similar conditions. I was sober, feeling good about life and the notion that just one would not hurt anyone. It did and hurt real bad. It was a perfect reminder though as to how fragile sobriety can be especially when challenged when you least expect it. I have no desire to ever feel that pain again. Stay strong warriors!!
