And I actually remember the day that happened. :H

Didn't someone named "CantDoThis" or something show up around then?

Feeling a bit blue tonight for absolutely no logical reason. :huh:

One son home from 3 days of meetings in Maumbi, the other back to camp job, money in the bank, food in the house, car ok, job going good.....

I did feel better when I logged in and saw you swearing at me right off :sulk:

And posting this has made me smile .....hey I wonder if that's why they call them Smiles over there on the right?

Well, feeling much better now, thanks. Power to the Post!.......PPQ

RC - you teach???
You must be a Creative Writng teacher

Kuya & PQ -
Just be happy you didn't have to change the raunchy diaper my grandson produced this evening :H
If I don't laugh at these things I'd get depressed :H

Det, glad you are coming back to life friend

Quiet time now for granny Lav - time for some delicious decaf vanilla chai tea - yum!

Wrote a post...but it got lost. I am deleting my threads from yesterday as I have been asked to. No worries Mick on the mix up....I was shaken and I am sure it was hard to follow. Det can make his own decisions on what is best for him:h

Interesting day to say the least. I am with my friend's sister.....and there will be no funeral. She is having a breakfast tomorrow.

I hope to be home tomorrow night.....as I decided to fly instead of drive.

Det...my Paleo books are with me. The 4 hour book is huge! I usually get books on my kindle....but, I wanted these on hand....to flip through. I have an old kindle....so it is not flip though friendly

Mick what I meant about stopping....is I have stopped several times.....staying stopped is the tricky part. I never want to believe that if I did start again.....that I can not stop.

What just happened to my friend.....was due to years of AA thinking, people turning their back on her.....I am a big believer in the power of the mind. If I believe something....which I did for many years....took me to dark places.

Two posts lost! Dang computer. I am with my friend's sister. She requested that I remove the posts....so I deleted them. Glad she called me last night and insisted that I fly instead of drive. Probably a good idea.

No funeral. She is putting on a beautiful breakfast for her sister tomorrow.

No worries Mick on the confusion....I was hit hard....and sure that I was not clear. Det can make his own decisions on what is best for him:h

Det....I've got my paleo books with me....the 4 Hour book is HUGE!

I hope to be home tomorrow night.....but, I may stay on a day or two to help my friend's sister and boyfriend to clean out things.

Oh Sun. Be good to yourself while you are gone. Your friend's family will need your understanding and strength.


******************


RC - thanks for your understanding on the Aberdeen front.

I was only 13? The smokes were horrible and I was out of my mind? KY lease: don't hate me because I'm hooked on Cory. :H.

Castles, Nessy and pubs. Every single night we were in the pub. That's all I remember. Oh... wait.. Mick, there was the scotch, haggis, cold toast and the Bull Mastiff.

Now, I've been thinking about my B6 / GABA supplement. I think that's what started my panic attacks. I have only just started to get them. And I have felt better after I starting the inositol, but is that because I wasn't taking the GABA anymore? Took it yesterday and guess whose heart started racing ? Hmmm

An Alberta RCMP pulled over a pickup truck on Highway 2. He asked the driver "Got any ID?"
The driver says "Bout what?"

Actually the only family she had was her sister. Her sister blacked out once.....and went directly to AA and has remained sober for 10 years. She saw the good it was doing for her sister, felt like it ran in the family. I have such respect for her that she caught her problem so quickly.....and stuck with it.

I needed several incidences for me to "get it":h

definitely a slow learner here myself. going back through my old notes and records to return to what tools really did work for me back when this was a new adventure. started journaling again after a looong hiatus thanks to the suggestion by a MWO friend here. Unfortunately I had loaned my hypno discs to a member I lost touch with and now don't have a copy. doh!
feeling a tad shaky off and on, but eating which is a good sign.
I'm feeling that committed 'I have to fix this' mentality when I first got serious about my sobriety in early 2007. a good sign I believe.

CanToo, haggis is one culinary adventure I've not enjoyed.. quick poll: who likes haggis? who makes their own?

be well everyone

oh snap! was just watching Dr Daniel Amen's discussion on brain health and he cites a study where people with chemical addictions would relapse much more frequently if they didn't maintain steady blood glucose. last week I was stuck at remote worksites and eating total shite. it's almost as though I sabotage myself. I have to take all the parts of this game seriously if I'm to succeed.

That is WHY I have this signature, IMO most lapsing is due to low blood sugar! Tis fairly obvious with alcohol since it gives such a sugar hit the brain learns that you will, at least, feed it alcohol even if you won't give it real food. It is a survival 'mistake' I think.

I also think it accounts for the high number of middle aged women here. Years of chronic dieting and food deprivation where they have unwittingly substituted alcohol.
