    September Serenity - Week 1

    Greetings All,

    PAguy, I will be sending you positive thoughts today.

    Rustop, your morning walk sounds like it is an essential part of your day. I'm glad you got it in today. I know how important that "me" time is, and it sounds like your walk is your "me" time.

    Sooty, stay safe and dry! I have managed the Body Scan for six days straight and plan to continue the program. I'm already feeling some benefits. It is very calming.

    Lav, now I have to ask. What is "tapping"?

    Yesterday was a gardening day. I moved several perennials to a new bed because the bed they were in had shrunk due to the growth of a near by cherry tree. I am looking forward to Spring already to see how they do in their new spot. Do you think I'm getting ahead of myself? Fall hasn't even officially begun!:H

    Peace, strength and serenity to all.
    Dill

    Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

    If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

      September Serenity - Week 1

      Good morning everyone!

      Wishing John the best today for his procedure Your vibrational level should be quite high today with vibes coming from as far as England & Ireland!!

      Rusty, what are you up to today?

      Ms Sooty, I hope the bus is headed somewhere we haven't been before - I love an adventure

      Rustop, it's nice that you have good friends nearby. Mine seem to have dwindled due to distance, jobs, etc.

      Dill, I need to go out & divide some of my perennials......I've promised some to my daughter to help brighten up her place a bit.
      The tapping is used in what is called the Emotional Freedom Technique - EFT.
      The theory is tapping on various meridians can help move stuck energy which causes pain, physical or emotional. There are lots of youtube videos out there to watch.

      Emotional Freedom Technique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      I've been listening to a series of teleseminars this summer presented by The Inner Healing Compass
      Inner Healing Compass Teleseminar Intensive Several of those speakers utilize tapping with good results

      Greetings to Red(Star), LBH, Chill, rebirth, cyntree & everyone who stops in today.
      I'll be watching EB grandson soon so I'd better get ready.

      Wishing a great AF Tuesday for all.

        September Serenity - Week 1

        Good afternoon all,

        Anther brief post. Sorry. Just been very busy lately.

        Rusty- impressive poem! Did you just make that up one afternoon? That would have taken me at least a month and endless headaches.

        Sooty summer is over! No indian summer in the Uk. The weatherman got it wrong again!

        Lav did you ever tell me where you live?

        Chill- ooooh your pool looks divine. I am gonna move in with you... portugal and a swimming pool is right up my street.

        John!! You are a proper cook! I couldn't believe what you prepared yourself. I am coming over for dinner TODAY! Please post some of those recipes on here. Like papmom I also like the shrimp one. Love all of them actuelly.

        Anyway, my cat cookie is being spayed today because she has been showing typical signs that she is on heat!! Lots of tomcats hanging around and she is meowing alot. I have also bought some catnip for her post which she likes..but she is still scrating my sofa!! Maybe i do need to clip her claws as suggested.

        Serene september is an apt description for my mood this week because I have had a fallout with my BF and I didnt freak out like I normally would. He walked out on me yesterday without saying goodbye. I just kept my thoughts under control and drank sparking water. Maybe the sorrow will come later in which i shall have to stayed tuned to this site to keep the evil cravings at bay!!

        I know that Chill celebrated 8 months, John has a few months of sobriety behind him but what about the rest on here? Have you all be sober for ages? Just intrigued thats all.
        Be strong-

            Late check in from me guys, had a busy day so will catch up properly tomorrow.

            Rebirth - I'm so glad you are experiencing the serenity that's being generated on this thread.

            Lav - I can actually feel your peace of mind at the moment through your posts, it's amazing!

            Maybe we should pick a time when we could all spend the same 5 minutes thinking serene thoughts about one another? Just as a mini experiment of collective consciousness...:l

            Look forward to hearing how Paguy is doing.

              An evening check in from me just to say night night.

              John I really hope your op has gone well.

              Lav - where do you want to go my friend? You know I'll drive this bus anywhere you like and you can have first choice this week cos I'm feeling very generous

              Dill I'm so glad you're enjoying the body scans ... do you manage to stay awake all the way through? I must nod off briefly because his voice sort of jerks me back to awareness!!

              To all I've not mentioned, have a peaceful and successful Tuesday - see you all on humpday
              love Sooty

                          OMG! My head is in a bad place. I knew that my serenity wouldn't last! I am having issues in my relationship and a text from my partner just sent me off suddenly. I battled with a very strong urge to drink. I have not had an urge like this in months! Dear me..I ended up at the supermarket buying a bottle of AF wine. I have been told that it could trigger off a drinking spree but I shockingly still drank a few glasses.

                          Luckily I hated the taste and there was no alcoholic buzz. I poured the rest of the drink away. I am feeling mentally better now but my reaction has frightened me. I am alot more vunerable than I thought

                          Please please share with me any stories of close calls that you guys have had. Lav, Chill , Guitarista have you gone through any experiences that was very challenging? How did you cope? Anyone else went through a shAkey moment? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this experience has shaken me a bit

                            Af wine still has a tiny trace of alcohol...God I was lucky I didnt taste nor get an effect on it. The fact that I was willing to gamble my sobriety after three months of sobriety behind me has shocked me completely!!

                              Rebirth - Are you ok? If you are still around do you want to go into chat?

                              I have to say that that fact you purchased AF wine shows you really didnt want to drink and you probably bought the wine as an act of defiance at your partner but at the same time you didnt really want to hurt your sobriety.

                                Mr G - you are the man :H
                                2 years in October is awesome - very good for you!

                                rebirth - I have adopted such a stubborn attitude! I will let no one & nothing interfere with my sobriety! Pardon my French but I'd tell the BF to screw off before I'd start drinking again. I'm not going to drink over Mr Lav's insanity either. Pull on your BGP's (big girl pants) & reaffirm your commitment to remain sober - no matter what!!!

                                I just wanted to tell everyone in the paguy(John) fan club - I just had a call shortly before 6 pm from his partner. John is home & resting comfortably post-op. The surgery ended up being a little more involved than originally thought. Apparently he had severed some nerves during his accident, they needed to be repaired as well. Sounds like he'll be down & out for a few days but we will continue to send good vibes his way - right everyone???

                                GET WELL SOON JOHN :l
