Doggygirl, theater is awesome! I wish there was a good one here.

Hi again everyone! Special :l for Uni. We are glad you are alive and with us too.

Interesting topic this one of a wish to have SOMETHING indulgent in moderation. I thought about that one and herein lies the Paradox for me. If I truly only desire something in real moderation, it doesn't feel "indulgent" or slightly naughty or anything like that. Let's take exercise as an example. I would say I exercise in moderation, but I sure don't get the THRILL out of it that we are speaking of here (in my understanding anyway) of wishing for something to ENJOY in moderation.

As another example, it seems our dear BB is able to make batches of cakes, cupcakes, etc. but only eat one. Now let me tell you what - just READING about those cupcakes makes me SALIVATE for just one! What I wouldn't give to just have the occassional cupcake and really enjoy it! But I cannot have just one! My guess is that BB is able to eat cupcakes in moderation largely because the very thought of it doesn't make her mouth water for cupcakes!

Anyway, ponder that circular logic if you will.

Good to see you G-string!

Story of my life DG - one is never enough! Guess the key is being able to recognize and accept that fact, right?

DG - I think all of our heads are spinning now :H:H

But I think you are right on the circular logic thing..........

Hey all,

Dg - your thread makes a really good point and I have never thought of that way. I wonder if the fact that alcohol is excessive is a bad thing, if it therefore has a stigma attached to it even in moderation. If we craved something that was good for u, it wouldn't be so much of an issue. Like if u craved strawberries or something! I don't know...I am just thinking out loud.

So looks like there are big changes afoot at work...not immediately but defo in the medium term. My friend who works for senior management suggested that my impending move to the states may be a blessing in disguise! Makes me all the more determined to use my trip home in march to make some meaningful contacts!

my cupcakes are spinning but my head feels fine

ok, but really I think I can truly relate. it has to do with having an 'extremist' personality I guess. we just have to find something to go 'nutso' with that doesn't cause us great harm. for me it's the adrenalin rush of martial arts. for AA maybe it's something similar from a race. We must find our own personal X-games event. LOL

I think I'm going to get back into diving, maybe some free diving as well. I used to do that all the time, I'm even certified as an Ice Diver and can go up to 120feet..any deeper then that you'd really have to switch gases. But that was great fun, and really great exercise. Carrying all that gear up and down hills for certain hidden spots to dive. Ahhh..yes, I think I'll start again.
