Hi just joined today and are quite nervous about the next 2 months ahead.

Regular drinker of at least 1 bottle of wine and sometimes 2 a day and are tired of the hold alcohol has on my life so I am looking forward to the assistance and guidance that this forum will provide to me and my family.

Cheers

Rusty

Hi Lucky

This week I have the "Gum Nut Babies"... I wish Tawn was here she'd be better at explaining the cultural significance they are to the Aussie Culture...

May Gibbs (Aussie Author) wrote about the Bumnut Babies around 1915... it's a story we all read as little children growing up.... I doubt those this era of young ones would know who the Gumnut Babbies are..

As May Gibbs says;

I thought of the Australian gum leaf, which was an ideal shape
for a book mark and a pretty thing.
In the middle of the night I awoke, and in fancy,
saw peeping over a long gum leaf,
a little bush spirit with a gum nut on its head..

And thus the Gumnut Baby was born,,

Thanks for asking Lucky... Tawn if your around... how did I do??

Geeez Wattle .... don't give up your day job. (lol)

OK - I'm working on a 10,000 word essay to explain the beauty and cultural significance of Gumnut Babies.

This may take some little time .............

Rusty-don't feel blah!

You've found us!

First, start with the book. Everyone here has tweaked the program one way or the other to suit their needs. Read & get aquainted with the boards. Here you'll find so many people who have "been there done that". You'll definately relate to many people here.

Turn your frown upside down. Take baby steps. Evey step foward is an accomplishment. Have a plan & goal. Never give up.

Lastly-glad you found us!

Wecome Rusty!!! I'm new here also, 6 days AF. This site is great, it's a great place to go when you need some advice, encouragement, sometimes a push, or you just want to listen to other people's similar struggles,etc. Have you ordered the book yet? I'm doing the supps, kudzu, l-glut, & cd's and they sure make a difference! It's not magic, you still have to work at it but they a great tools for your toolbox. Good luck and keep coming back.
