Good day everyone.
Well, it's Monday again and I've another week of 200 mile commutes to look forward too. Still, it could be worse. I could be driving.
I had a nice, quiet (sober) weekend. I walked over to myy daughter's house yesterday with my dog and spent a happy couple of hours with her and her daughter. She's five and a half months old and is an absolute joy. My wife was at work all weekend unfortunately, but next week she has Sunday off so we're going to climb a mountain together. (Ben Vorlich...3094 ft.) I'm looking forward to that.

Have a great week friends.

Hi Popeye -

Sounds like a lovely, peaceful weekend for you before another week of long commutes - although not fun, I hope you can get some good reading time!

The mountains must be especially beautiful at this time, depending a little, I suppose, on the Scottish weather -what's it like at the moment? And how's the vegetable patch doing?? How lovely to have your grandaughter so close . My children missed out on that wonderful relationship a bit as we've lived abroad while they've been growing up - seeing Grandma and Grandpa only once or twice a year isn't quite the same...

Kim, have a great one - and wishing all to come a good, happy start to this next AF week!
Warmest wishes,

Good morning Popeye, Boycie, Ariel and all the ABeroos to come. seems the ABs board is getting some extra action this morning with a few extra threads. Looks like were infectious! Got some badly needed rain here in the desert so I didn't have to water the yard or fix the sprinklers and drippers yet. Be well everyone

Hiya all,

Been trying my best to moderate recently and at times it is do-able...Latley though i've let myself get complacent...I think it's time for the short sharp shock treatment...I know i need at least a month alcahol free...I'm gonna give it a go and do my best..And hopefully after a month i might have the momentum to keep going...I hope so...I know half the battle is being in the right frame of mind..

Anyhooow...Ding Ding...Round 1

Morning All!

Aah-Spring is finally here on the East coast-hitting the 80 degree mark today!

Crazy week for me too. Also getting ready for 2 consecutive birthday parties this weekend(one is my son's) both which I would normally "sneak" drink because of my huge trigger-the phony "in-law family". Oh how they luv to hear themselves talk & boast & well me being the "known loser alcoholic" well-you know how I feel around them. I would always feel inferior and this time no more! I always feel uncomfortable because they know of my problem & they have suspected in the past they I have sneaked (they really label alcoholics). They are just not nice people. Very, very phony. This time I'm not drinking for me & my family.

Pop-I'm sure that tushy gets sore from that ride (LOL)!

Hi Kim & Ariel!

Have a great Monday Everyone!
