Just Joy ~ June Week 3

Good to see you again Chill, lovely post you dear butterfly. I am still at my most comfortable alone and you are so correct, it is hard to know who these sober beings are inhabiting our senses. Lord Bird Heart really wanted to go out to dinner tonight (we didn?t go on his birthday last Tuesday), but fortunately he let me choose the restaurant. I don?t mind being around people drinking but there are certain kinds of food I may never have again as pairing them with one alcoholic drink or another is so deeply ingrained in what passes for my brain. While my AF choices seem limited to Asian, South East Asian, Indian, and Hispanic or Latino food, that is fortunately a HUGE chunk of the earth:H. I had a moment tonight when I thought fondly of barbecue and a gin and tonic but let it pass as such things always do, particularly when one soon has a belly full of vegetable korma and iced chai. The restaurant was near the Apple store so Lord Bird Heart then had to get a ?Airport Express? (an alternative to the wireless network we have and one that works best with linking Apple devices and peripherals), what a birthday this fellow is having.... So Good Night my dear ones, I am off to unwind. Sleep can indeed be elusive, Dill, I have had insomnia since childhood, but at least AF, drifting around in the dark, floating on one's thoughts, it's not so bad without that pounding 3am alcohol heartbeat of dread. Love, Ladybird.

Well hello G!
Was wondering where you have been

Chill & papmom, you both have had some excitement this week. That's what living is all about & learning to handle it all without AL is fabulous
Chill, it really does take a long, long time to figure who we are addiction free. I don't know about you but for me growing a 3rd arm may be easier than gaining confidence at this age......but I continue to try.
Papmom, sadly we cannot help everyone even when we really want to help. Your concern says a lot about the goodness in your heart

Dill, I meant to say yesterday that your aquariam trip sounded great! So glad to hear you all enjoyed yourselves. Don't let drinking thoughts take up any of your head space. They are not really cravings at this point - just thoughts & you don't have to act on them. Use a little Lavan-ittude

Rustop, I think tomorrow may be a good day to bathe my stinky beagle pup. Thanks for the idea!!!

Rusty, glad you are on home turf - have a very nice weekend

Hi Sunni & LBH!

I'm watching the 6th of 38 episodes of The Tudors on Netflix. Should have come with an X rating :H

Just Joy ~ June Week 3

Good Morning Guys and a happy Sunday to you

Lav - I thought I had felt so out of place in Scotland when in fact I was out of place with myself and it wouldn't have mattered where I was. I started smoking at 13 and drinking regularly mid teens, my whole life had been about addictions so its hardly surprising it takes a long time to get used to being addiction free.

Papmom - one of the things I learned last weekend was distant reiki healing and I am already doing it for my friends dog who is sick in Portugal. I have taken the photo of the Sheltie from your FB page and will include him in my session this morning.

Wishing everyone a fabulous AF day!
