Morning all ? fresh tea and coffee ? and toast, peanut butter and vegemite (I can eat this now that Mick can?t catch me! :H) for all. Excitement plus.:H
Hey the sun disappeared when I was asleep and it forgot to wake up. Should emerge from the clouds later in the day.
Thanks for the Mick message Byrdie ? sounds like he is having fun and splurging a bit ? but no harm as he is very disciplined and the weight (if gained) will disappear very soon.
PPQP and Narilly ? quite a storm/blizzard you guys have there.
? while I hate to see anyone being really drunk I couldn?t care less if they were geriatrics or teenagers ? its not good at any age. I also get annoyed with statements that a drunk woman looks worse than a drunk man (sexist twaddle IMO). The irony about alkie-ism is that it's one of the great levellers and we are all in this together. In the PMs and public advice that I have with with some young folk here there is sometimes a tendency to think that's its all very well for us oldies ? we had our fun and its unfair for us to suggest abstinence to the young. I confess I don't have easy answers to this ? except dire warnings and ?if only I had seen the light? (well not quite my words). I sometimes feel like a bloody hypocrite when I talk about AL to young people.
Off on a tangent ? wandering into cyberspace. Back to earth!
Patrice ? its very good that you stopped at 2 glasses. I think that since you want to quit ? you are going to have to be really tough with yourself over the next few months ? and that includes the festive season (isn?t there always a holiday where you live!). Like Lav and others said I suggest you avoid boozy situations like the plague. There will be other social things you can do ? there may be some AL at these but stick to all the delicious AF drinks they have where you live.
Bear ? try not to make too many lists of what you should do during the week with regard to healthy living (except saying NO to our No.1 poison). One of my workmates has recently lost a ton of weight and she did it gradually, no radical diets or programmes. She has heaps more confidence about herself now and looks really healthy.
Pauly ? you are doing well too and I hear you when you say that others get bored with us alkies saying that we have given up the sauce. I always kept rather quiet when I quit in the past ? and esp in this last quit. Someone please pinch me ? as lately I have been turning the tables a bit when occasionally quizzed about my abstinence ? and ask the questioner if they think they have a problem? What a bore I am!
OK me luvvies ? I had better shower, dress and consume more caffeine ? daughter is still asleep and I am working at home today. Have a builder coming today to look at a suspected leak in the wall ? we all know how a simple repair morphs into the rebuilding of the entire nation! :egad:
Have a great day to all the others that I haven?t yet mentioned ? Sun, Lav (please say hi to Yah on FB from me), Det, Sam, SF, and the rest of you lovely MWO crew.
Glad everyone is doing so well and handling the pre-Christmas build-up and incipient madness
