Morning all - day 48 here now - almost at 50 days, most I've done before has been 3 months so feeling good. We chose our flooring yesterday and the good news is it costs a good 50% less than we estimated

Off on long drive for a meeting at one of our other offices today for team meeting,chief exec is going to be there, I'm presenting on what I learnt from two conferences that I attended recently. I'm a bit nervous but I have done this kind of thing before, I've been having a work crisis of confidence - I am keeping going though.Woke with a cold this morning and part of me wants to call in sick BUT this would just delay it all.My experience has always been that it's never as bad as I think.

I have my CBT therapy appt this Friday and I am looking forward to that,also 5 working days to go until I am on holiday. Then it's not long until I am off for almost 2 weeks for Christmas.

Best get going - have a good day everyone, TT hope you're feeling on the up.

Good morning Abbers

Disappearing threads are really annoying Mick :H

Hope your day is easy bear!
I am learning not to worry about stuff that may never happen

PQ, did you get snow? Hope your day is fabulous.

I am on boy watch all day, oh joy!
It's below freezing out but at some point I will stuff them into their jackets & hats & let them run off some steam outside. I really don't want to go crazy today :H :H

Have. Wonderful AF Monday everyone!

Morning all
a quick check in and off to work. No longer safe to meander in the woods, black powder season started Saturday. Woke to the reminder Saturday AM about dawn. It is a little strange this year in the woods. None of the oak or walnut trees have any nuts.

Mick, I hate that when it happens. Sometimes I'll lose my internet connection while posting. I've learned to copy the post and can paste it later. I'm such a slow typer. Not that I have a lot to say but I don't really like retyping what little I do got to say.

Best to all.

hey everyone - day as expected was nowhere near as stressful as I'd anticipated - as usual!Was a nice day,it was lovely seeing the wider team and had yummy cake and boss has given me a half day on Friday afternoon due to working very late this Thursday. Can't wait!

Pauly - sorry you're having a binge - do you need medical help to wean yourself off/are you having DTs?Hope you're not feeling too bad and are hanging in. What triggered this and what could you have done differently/do next time you are tempted?

I dont think im in any risk of dt's,goodgod i hope not just the same irritating withdrawal/hungove symptoms as usual,dunno the exact trigger im guessing its cuz i had a cold for two weeks before,and period started that day,i was just worn out and irrationally thought the beer would make me feel better?or just making excuses i honestly couldve avoided drinking,maybe just didnt want to?nobody in theyre right mind would put themselves through this over and over

The good news is that you can choose to make this the very last binge - ever pauly!
We all kept repeating the same damn old pattern until it just got too tiresome. Keep trying pauly, you'll get there too

bear, glad to hear your day went well, good for you
