    Right..on we go..

    Morning TDN.......how are you today? hopefully fingers crossed you will get everything sorted out next week...

    Blondie.....out of the closet welcome to you hope you enjoy yourself here ..jump in whenever and take part..............hmmmm should be interesting....a blonde Aussie :H..seriously tho, the idea is to have fun at the same time...10 months..well done..nope you wont mess it up

    Morning PPQ....glad the black cloud is on its way out :goodjob:hopefully all your stuff will be sorted next week too...What do you mean ..he sorta grows on you???Wot do you fink I am....a wart, piles or summat????:H

    Morn Lav...one brew for you maam..how are you today?Ive gotta find jobs to do...Chrimbo tree and decs have been dragged out of the loft along with the fibre optic snowman...next comes the cd with all the Chrissy music on it..When I was about 13 or 14, I was head chorister in quite a famous cathedral choir in Scotland..They made quite a few records, and on one of them I sang a solo on a Christmas album....sadly I have got a copy of that transferred on to a cd...some aheemmmm years later!!

    Morning TDN..how are you? ok I hope..just reading your post..yes I agree it is a serious thing that we are doing giving up al...you put on our serious sober journeys...do you not think it would be more comfortable replacing journeys with way of life? or am I just being pedantic? heres one for you

    The Benefits of Laughing
    Why you should laugh at least a few times every day:

    1.Laughing burns calories. Yep, you heard right. Ever laugh so hard that your stomach hurt? This is because when you laugh, your stomach muscles contract, and get squeezed, which basically means that you're getting an ab workout while laughing.

    2. Smiling is easier: it takes 46 muscles to frown, and less than half of that (only 17) to smile.

    3. Laughing can almost be comsidered an alternate form of excersize. It is said that laughing 100 times a day is equivilant to a workout consisting of 15 minutes on an exercise bike.They also said that 20 seconds of laughing can work the heart as hard as three minutes of rowing.

    4.Laughing also helps your heart beat faster, which helps you blood to circulate better.

    5. Laughing makes you more relaxed, minimizes stress, and puts you in a good mood.

    6. Believe it or not, laughing also helps you see better, by opening up the tear ducts in your eyes.

    so go on ..have a good laugh !!

    Good morning ..SF hope you are well..cant really say too much about the murder of the innocent children...words are just that..all I can say is make the most of those who are precious to you while you can..and remember those who are going through the pain of unnecessary loss.......

    Well thats it I am for the offski....so you all take care and have a great day

    Hi again
    Thanks for the welcome and jokes Mick; these ones remind me of Tommy Cooper!

    Love seeing the snowy photos; it hasn't been too hot here yet, so I'm still smiling!

    Strangely, after my post yesterday, I suddenly had a craving this afternoon! Haven't had one for yonks; my partner drinks all the time and we go out to bars/restaurants and it doesn't bother me at all. Quite a shock. Hope it wasn't connected to coming back here :H

    Everyone's so busy on here, I ought to find some hobby. Heading off this week for a few days break (just a short drive as we're taking the dog). Had a holiday without al this year and it was, very surprisingly, easy for me, but after today, I'm a bit nervous! Still, I want to do a year and my counting has saved me a couple of times!

    Well, another quickie before I head for bed (I'm an early bird!).

    Hope everyone has a great day, and the Kiwis are already into Monday! :H

      Morning Mick, Nighters Blondie

      That craving I reckon is connected with coming back. The brain probably remembers how you felt when you were first here......amazing really. Remember it is JUST a thought, it ain't got hands and legs :H

      Mick, I have been around just as long but lots of PMs so less posts. Did a long post last night then deleted for PC reasons, so only short post yesterday. Also the weather is so nice I am outside a lot, kids here all day for BBQ and swimming .......

      Put up the tree yesterday so feeling allchristmassy

            Good morning, Mick, Blondie and Ky--and all to come today.

            Thanks for the coffee, Mick!! And those jokes!! Too funny:H

            Nice to see you Blondie! Interesting about the cravings returning and KY's thoughts on the brain. I just listened for the second time to a hypnosis event I am subscribed to, and this one is on addiction. Interesting that the hypnotist believes the total opposite of what AA tells us. We need to tell ourselves that we have quit--period--and are not powerless. Just what KY and Mick remind us about. We aren't powerless unless we take that first drink--and then, I believe, we are, or at least I am.

            Looks like I'll be heading to my sister's today to be closer to the court tomorrow. This involves an hour drive to the train. Not sure about getting home tomorrow night. The will need to go to a DMV--also 2 hours away--and will try for Tuesday. Of course, we'll be getting snow/sleet later on and mor "stuff" tomorrow night. Oh, well--will deal with it

            Hope SF, PPQ, Can, Cat, Lav and the rest of the gang have a nice AF Sunday!

              Good morning Abbers,

              Getting a super slow strat today but that's OK
              The air is warmer but the sun has disappeared......rain on the way tonight.

              Mick, you should put your solo up on You Tube so we can all enjoy your choir boy act :H
              I'll bet that seems like a million years ago, huh? My tree is up & has been decorated with the help of a 4 year old & it looks like it too :H

              TDN, I will be thinking about you & hoping tomorrow goes off without a hitch

              Greetings Blondie, Kuya & everyone!
              I have a half a million things to do today so I should get strated.
              Wishing everyone a peaceful AF Sunday.

                            On a personal level, I have just had the worst weekend in a very long time. It was probably well over due to happen, but happen it did. Unfortunately I drank the wine that was in the garage - what I did not drink, I have thrown away.
                            I am totlally exhausted, emotionally fried, but have had a few reality checks, and wake up calls and probably in a much better place to be able to move forward in a much more postive manner - so even though it has been really really hard, in teh long run it is probably good.
                            So today is yet another day 1, I am probably in a stronger place to now to really work out what I want and how I will get there and be able to become the person that I know I can be and want to be.
                            I do not intend to become the yoyo that I have been last few weeks and am very much looking forward to stringing the AF days togther again, and to live this precious life to the fullest...
                            If you will still have me, see you all tomorrow....
