Re: July Army 2022

Where's the wedding?

Trim Castle Molls - hate bloody weddings ! They just go on FOREVER. My tolerance of being 'nice' for that length of time is zero.
Also I'm afraid I've never taken to the sober dancing thing.
That was one of the things 'good' about drinking - didn't give a shit - looked like been dragged thru a hedge - sweat pumping but danced like a mad yoke.
Now I dread that part of the wedding - just find it very difficult. All insecurities come back.

And I'll say this to yous only - MrS's dance moves are cringy after he's had a few sherries. :egad:

Re: July Army 2022

hi Army!

but i had some bad dreams which have left me shaky.. also let my guy get on my nerves.. i don't know why i can't just let him be who and how he is.. anyway, we're off to the lake today and i'm sure that will improve my mood.. just thought i should write it down, as sadness is definitely something i've often wanted to escape..

and Satz, who are the Germans?:happy2:

Ah Elsie don't be sad. Is it hormonal ? If so that's ok - unavoidable. Acknowledge it, cry then move on? :hug:
Try to look at the bad dreams in a positive light - feel relieved that they are not real.

'The Germans' are my daughter & son-in-law. They moved to Munich last year for her to take up a 2 year assignment at work.

Re: July Army 2022

Oh I know that hotel...Nice!
Sorry you're sad Elsie..you mention your relationship a bit...tell me to mind my own business if you like...but just wondering are there things about him that sort of went unnoticed when drinking that now you're sober sort of drive you mad? Happened to me.
It's very normal those feelings of regret over lost time...I still have it in spades..particularly to do with family...still things the kids may mention and it's a bit vague...it is sad...but its a fact so I've just learnt to be glad I'm 'all here' now.
In this instance I'm thrilled jilly and Joey are both coming with their children...Jill and Joey were known as 'the kids' in the family ...so much younger than the boys..and they always got on brilliantly..they had a few years where there was a bit of anger about something...sisterly interference I think..but now they're great and their children ..the 2 girls are the same age..so in built entertainment!
Must get up!

:haha: re Mr S! Totally agree about weddings. Loathe them with a passion. In fact I can say that about any party or even gathering really. I just don't feel comfortable "socialising" at all. I am fine going for group walks with my doggo's but then I have them as a distraction/crutch and Im OK. I will do anything to avoid and my Mr S is the same really.

LC, weepy is so common in early recovery. I think we grieve that long held belief that we won't manage without our DOC and it is a bereavement. Add that to the shite of real life and the tears are understandable. Cleansing even.

Loved the story of Max and your gardening exploits Molly :haha: dogs really are an acquired taste My boy jumps on my back every time I either sit with my back to him or bend over :egad: then falls to the floor exhausted with his efforts. I can see why that behaviour isnt everyone cup of tea especially as he weighs a lot

Been out for 2 lovely walks this morning now time to rest up before a few chores.

OMG....I just lost Max....ran upstairs to get something...came down and he was gone...been up and down the lane...into every driveway I could find....been searching for over an hour...got the car out..drove down to lake cos he knows his way there....already trying to think how to tell joe ...came back to the house to get my phone...went into downstairs bedroom to get my coat....and there he was...he'd somehow got the door open and it had closed behind him....he never got so many hugs of relief...he was oblivious...he hadn't whined or barked even when I came back....jaysus!!!

Nooooooooooooooo, that is the most terrifying thing EVER! So glad he was there all the time! Bet your heart had a good workout though :haha:

It was horrifying -- and it's so peaceful around here (as he's a big pup really he can cause chaos everywhere) and all the cows and horses and sheep in the fields around were all lying down peacefully so I knew he hadn't visited them.... next door has a doggie that visits our garden a lot - but I could see they were all still in bed of a Sunday morning!!! I remember losing Adam once for 5 mins at a street festival in Dublin -- and -- well yes -- that WAS worse have to admit :harhar: but it was the same sort of feeling of helplessness - if Joe had been here I wouldn't have been that bothered - it would have been his problem!! oh I dunno -- yeah - it was horrible --

Re: July Army 2022

Greetings, was going to say good morning
[MENTION=15430]lifechange[/MENTION].........its normal...........in my humble opinion. I cried and got angry at nothing.
I'm not a scientist but I reckon its all our brain getting back into a normal pattern and healing. You've just brought a memory back...............a Tuesday and I cried/sobbed for hours over a burnt pie.

We bought a 'Beware of the dog' for the gate we share with next door. Every time I see it makes me think of a gigantic dog from Hell ripping people to death. Really just bought it to remind people to shut the gate. Instead we've got a rescue dog from Romania who's a gentle as can be. He does eat bees though.

They're getting married here............Bot Verification in the big dome. The wedding planner came with 'the package'. We've given them a bit towards it but the rest they're paying themselves.

I loved In Bruge.............got the DVD somewhere.

Morning,
[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]..............it used to be a museum of militarily vehicles when I was growing up. Then when it closed and went wreck and ruin so along came someone with squillions in their pocket turned in to a boozer in 2000 with a function room.

Sorry but its beef or lamb or vegetarian even vegan.

Re: July Army 2022

Morning... awake since the fart of the sparrows - Max decided to pay me back for losing him yesterday ;-) sort of a mixed day today -- warm but cloudyish -- not sure what I want to do really -- very tied with this lad. Thought Joe was home Thursday -- it's not till Friday -- aaarrrggghhh
