I am now post dinner - had a bit of a conversation with Det today re the diet thing. I don't quite agree with all the rationale - as there were many ancient diets in many parts of the world and they were not always that healthy. They also evolved of course. Anyway since I have had dinner I am over diets for today and wish all of you a healthy and hearty day - whatever you eat. I think we beat ourselves up too much about this and I just am grateful I have the choice and I have enough food - as so many are malnourished or starving.
Well I guess Bear, that you are on the way to Budapest or soon will be. I imagine its very hot there at the moment! Also too hot it seems for many of you in the US and Canada. Yikes. Blondie better be pre-warned as it will be hot this summer in Australia no doubt. But then it always has been.
Not much to report here on the AL front - except its not an issue for me at the moment. I really don't miss the stuff. Occasionally I will sniff something that smells like a gin and tonic but its probably just lemon scented cleaner! :H The smell of wine definitely makes me feel yuk - not a craving at all. I think a year AF gives you the space to break the association of booze with certain rituals - is that your take Mick?
I also don't think I am any more boring or any more exciting since I quit. I am pretty much the same person - just maybe now cram a bit more in my life, and have a trunkload of things to be grateful for. Its great not having to apologise for things you can't remember or only partially recall but I have not found being sober a magic button. Its not a revelation for me and I would be bloody worried if it was because it would negate most of my life! Shit still happens, people are grouchy, I get grouchy and good things come my way. I laugh and moan a lot but then I always did!
So some reflections. Not earth shattering or inspirational but honest. I am grateful to have my life back - but thats always going to have its fragility. One day at a time.
