January Army 2022

Re: January Army 2022

..it’s never too late to look forward to the possibilities tomorrow may offer, it’s up to us to find them and embrace what they may bring with open arms. I am loving the gift of sobriety.

Thats what's its all about, we should never forget that.

Plonked in the middle of the floor. It became the nearest thing to Fr Jack's chair in Fr Ted.
Surrounded by cups & crumbs :haha:

Interesting about the crumbs. Mr M is getting a bit messy of late, is this an age thing (he has 6 years on me), a lazy covid thing, a man thing? I've threatened getting him with a pelican bib and a divorce. The dribbles continue.

[MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION], how were you going out to the quiz?? Any anxiety? Sounded like you had a great night, that's brilliant!

Delighted your doing well Molly and the house excitement probably helps too.

I'd say it won't be long before your all meeting again Rustop. It feels like we are all done with Covid now. The government waved a magic want and poof.. gone. Maybe we can think it gone.

[MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], a 50 mile ultra is almost 2 marathons back to back!! I'll be thinking about you on my 25th mile on the dublin marathon. You are nuts!

Good morning! I recognise a few people here! Not sure if anyone would remember me, I haven't visited in many years. Fond memories! Solitaire

Hi Sol....good to see you back..how have you been doing?

Re: January Army 2022

Morning,
Its mighty windy today.

Had my chat with my therapist yesterday...........felt like I'd got a slap on the hand for not filling in the feedback e-mail...........I said 'what feed back?' and she said it had been e-mailed it .......Luckily I had my laptop on and it had gone straight to spam. Its very rare I look in there and it has very weird title.

She sounded a bit put out especially when I said perhaps call the e-mail heading something different might be a good idea. Anyhoo I'm doing better, sound better and making progress and in her humble opinion would be better off with a counselor rather than a therapist. Tbh I don't know what the difference is but I'll give it a go.

[MENTION=22188]Sol UK[/MENTION].................not sure I remember you but you're welcome any time. Give us an update on what you've been up to.

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION]...............The problem I'm having is going out on my own. Once this crap as been put in the bag I can go back to volunteering and even just a cup of coffee with a mate. Its so hard to describe as I look normal but inside my guts are churning. I'll get there I have to.

Re: January Army 2022

Good morning everyone

Of course you will JC and you are doing amazing. We are all very proud of you. Welcome Sol, as JC said fill us in on how you are doing. Grey morning here, about to take the dogs out and then have book club via zoom in the afternoon. Book was good, My one wild and wonderful life by Maureen Gaffney.

Re: January Army 2022

Good afternoon, hoping recovery goes well Molly and good news on Jilly.

Hope the counselling really helps JC, I worked for many years as a counsellor and saw some amazing results

Rusty and Mary I am a little jealous of all your walks and runs, as I cannot run I have volunteered to marshal at all my local running events, that way I get to see all my mates.

Good posts about the joy of sobriety.

Hoping to be able to get a stent to correct my angina problem to enable me to continue exercise .

Love to you all (I think I remember you Sol)

Re: January Army 2022

Nightmare in the car park at Tesco and traffic in general....................on a whole a nightmare. Mr. JC's just looked it up on local news and its so windy up here in the North East of England they've shut two bridges, trains & some buses are cancelled...............we're doomed.

[MENTION=22839]brit[/MENTION].............I bet you were a fantastic counselor. Fingers crossed for the stent.

I had a fab one who counseled me just after I'd stopped drinking and he knew his stuff.

Had to smile as my Aunt is 80 next week.............and she's asked for a compilation Who CD.

That's gas..daddy of a pal at work..in his late 70'a got a record player for Christmas and family asked him which vinyl records he wanted and he asked for Black Sabbath and Deep Purple....don't think my mum would have been too keen!

Re: January Army 2022

Hello JC, Molly, brit, and all to come. Wishing you all the best getting a stent, brit. Hope you are feeling better Jackie Claire. We’ll, I ran 27 of my intended 30 miles today. We started at 5:30am w/headlamp aglow. I was thinking of you Mary and how much I would move to be in that Dublin Marathon running with you. At 25 mikes I was in a bliss state but shortly turned around as abdominal cramps rally made continuing difficult. When we did some stretching I may have pulled a muscle. It was quite cold at that early hour. We’ll, I hope you all have a wonderful day, evening, or night wherever you may be. Blessings to you all x

[MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION] my dear - for once I have to disagree with one of your quotes.
I believe that is what causes a lot of illness & dis(ease) these days. People don't listen to their intelligent bodies and take rest when tired.
Your body will always tell you what's best but we never stop to listen to it.
It's all go go go .......

Here endeth the lecture ....... ::blahblah:

After some consideration, I agree with you. Thank you for your insight and wisdom. TBH, I am hurting. However. I’m still going to do the 50 mile race then reevaluate from there. Thanks again XOXO

Re: January Army 2022

Morning....agree Benjy....one of the reasons I'm struggling round on crutches right now is down to not listening to my body when younger...'overindulging in sport' my marathon running consultant advised me...ffs ...eat..don't eat?......run..don't run?....push yourself...don't push yourself?...won't add drink..don't drink? Thankfully that's a no-brainer!
Right so my sluggish body is having a lovely cuppa in bed looking forward to Australian Open...sounds good to me!

How's all?

Re: January Army 2022

Good morning army, welcome back Sol, I do remember you.
I agree with listening to what our bodies are telling us but occasionally in life having within ourselves a dogged determination to achieve something, despite the possible costs in other areas, is a trait worth having in my book. Without this Everest wouldn’t have been climbed for instance. But I suppose this doesn’t really apply to doing yourself damage running too many miles does it? Just my spin on it, good coming from a man who poisoned himself for 40 years eh!
