      You sound chipper, St John! That's great! I am a bit crabby from all this insane freezing weather, nice to hear the good vibes!

          Soooo, i spent the day in the garden yesterday and it was one of those wonderful calm overcast summer days -- perfect for some serious digging, only to realise last night that I am now a TOMATO -- Owwwww is all I can say!!!

          J-Vo, it's good to hear from you -- Jolly well done on 12 days AF!!

          Sorry I'm so erratic with my posting but I'm still on holiday mode and will catch up properly with everyone when i go back to work next week.

          I am thinking of you all!

            Today I am grateful to have my best friend back in my life.
            When I first joined MWO and embarked on my journey I felt that she did not support me and we lost tough for a long time. Recently we got together again and had a wonderful heart to heart about our relationship, my drinking and her drinking. It was an eye opener for me as I didn't realise how hurtful my actions had been -- I was so focused on ME and my goals and I didn't really think about how it was affecting her.
            Today, our friendship is stronger, we understand each other ever better and I am blessed to have her in my life:-)

              hi Deebs
              That is great - and it is good you were strong enough to listen to her, and not defend yourself - something I can get into...

                Brrrrrr....

                Greetings Modders,
                Blustery cold! Ouch! My forehead was freezing, walking this morning. I had my warm coffee cup with me and held it there for the pain.
                DeeBee: Sobriety is almost like rebirth sometimes. We start seeing people, situations and life in a new light. Sometimes it's good; sometimes it's painful; sometimes it's so good that it's painful...
                You're making me eager for Spring. I neglected my garden too much last year. Your talk about it is inspiring.
                St J: It will be interesting to see what comes next.
                Eve:                 What's with the deleted posts?
                Zed                id you say Mod or AF for the month of January? I might have put you on the PACT list wrong.
                It's early here in the Midwest USA. Your talk of food is stirring things up. I guess I'd better get some breakfast so I don't binge and eat something useless later...And thanks; your words are much too kind and generous but certainly describe someone I wish I was.
                Lenaleed:                 Good luck with this. I'd not heard of Sinclair until I came to MWO and certainly never known anyone initiating the system. Thanks for letting us participate.
                Well, everyone...It's time to go find some breakfast and throw another log on the fire.
                Best of days to you, friends.
                ~Kid~
                It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that brings us happiness.

                  Children,

                  I am going to savour a couple of glasses of Single Malt this evening. I bought a bottle of a nice Highland 12 year old on my way home today.

                  About to switch off for the weekend, to read a good book filled with poetry and wisdom, and listen to some music, and also to the silence. I plan to generally stay indoors this weekend, in my warm and cozy home. It is cold outside.

                  Tomorrow I have to stock up on a few things for the home. Will hit the market. I need a bottle of some good shampoo. And new tube of toothpaste. Down to the last few squeezes.

                  In the evening tomorrow I meet some friends for dinner and a crawl through some watering holes of Beijing. We start at the one a block away from my apartment, which is nice. Maybe I'll go home after we're done there.

                  On Sunday for lunch some friends are getting together at a Karaoke bar to sing and drink beer. I might give it a skip. Feel like being alone more than anything. Just enjoying my own company.

                  Aaahhhh, the bachelor's life. There's something to be said for it, for its sheer simplicity.

                  Take care you lot.

                  Z

                    Hey Kid! Yeah sorry about that, I did say AF when I'd just gotten back from India, but now a couple of weeks on, I have had a couple of evenings of Moderation, and this weekend will involve more Modding, including tonight. SO... I guess the point is that I am pretty useless at pacting. If you want to keep me in the PACT list, then I guess you'd need to switch me to Modding at this point. I should say though, that for the first 10 days of this month I was AF, and I have been more AF this month than in any month over the last 15 years of my life... except for 1 other. And that's no exaggeration. So by any standards it's been a good month, and the days on which I have not been AF, I have successfully modded. There have been no casualties for Zed in Jan thus far.

                    Patting myself on the back as I write this. Pat, pat.

                        Hi Lila,

                        oh I'm reading a bunch of stuff. A book about the life of Jesus, and one about the life of the Buddha. I keep switching. Also I keep going back to Gao Xingjian's Soul Mountain, which is my favourite book ever. The best book ever written about China. Also some Indian and Persian history books I brought back.

                        The poetry is devotional, love poetry. There is a famous Indian poet-musician named Kabir. I have a great book of his verses. Kabir lived in the 14th century and was a poor weaver by profession. In India is music is still sung in the villages, and he is considered a great saint.

                        There is an endless source of spiritual poetry to choose from. If your looking for a good place to start, there is a volume called "Love Poems from God: 12 Sacred Voices from the East and West", edited by Daniel Ladinsky.

                        Maybe you can keep an eye open for it.

                        Cheers.
                        z

                          Hello St. John - Ice Teas, that's my D-o-C also! I really love an Iced Lemon Tea... always goes down well, and feels healthy too. So that's what I'm going to order if I go out with the kids tomorrow... well, in between real drinks, at least.

                          Last year this time my drink of choice was Long Island Iced Teas... used to do a few of those nightly, among other things, and not remember anything, needless to say.

                          I've come a long way. Haven't we all?

                            Hey Little Brother -- you're up late.

                            Ditto on the iced tea, but my fav is iced green tea:-)

                              Another day of 2 drinks. Well, 2 1/2; I had a glass of wine w/ lunch and it was large. My daughter leaves for D.C. in the morning and last night was our celebration dinner. I had one glass. It was okay but I didn't want more. She doesn't seem to notice one way or the other. Very into her own thing right now to pay much attention to Mom, which is a good thing. And with her traveling for a few days it will be the perfect time for me to be alone. I expected to be crabby w/ this drastic a drop in alcohol but it's actually the opposite. We got into a squabble this morning but it was overdue. Just typical mother/daughter -- she wears all my clothes and throws them on the floor or leaves them at a friend's -- that sort of thing.

                              Lila -- yes we are kindred souls. I post a lot on the current hot Sinclair/Naltrexone thread on the medications board. I'm at 12.5 mg but must get up to 50 if it is to work properly long term. If I can keep this going I'll feel unstoppable. I was pretty darned beaten down two years ago but I'm on my way back on all fronts. Sounds like you are too.

                                Good morning my friends :happyheart:

                                Dee Bee- so good to hear from you! I was gardening yesterday too- more baby lettuces than we can all eat. Tomatoes coming slow. Out here in the desert we are just coming into our big growing season. Reading your post about your best friend made me stop and be so thankful for my BFF and how much God has blessed me with her in my life. I share everything with her and she is like the sister I never had.

                                zed I will be thinking of you tonight. I am going out with a friend to dinner and my blues club but I'm on my last day of my 14 day commitment. So I will be a little challenged but I"M GOING TO PULL IT OFF!

                                Kid you sound so relaxed and happy-keep it up my man!

                                Lena my oldest daughter just left to go back to colllege and of course it wasn't without a little verbal volleyball. She is very independent and headstrong-I wonder where she got that from :H So- hang in there this too shall pass.

                                Got to get my little one to school.
                                Have a fabulous day everyone!
                                Blessings
                                Toughen up!
