    My girlfriend did three pregnancy tests this morning and all three were positive.
    "I can't believe it," she said, wiping tears from her face, "How the fuck are we going to cope with triplets?"

    The word 'nothing' is a palindrome. 'Nothing' reversed is 'Gnihton'...
    Which also means nothing.

    It's pretty cool when you're in your bed, it's 7AM, you close your eyes for 5 minutes, and it's suddenly 8:45.
    But when you're at work, it's 2:30, you close your eyes for 5 minutes, and it's f*****g 2:29.

    Never let anyone tell you what you can and can't do.
    Take Beethoven for example, they told him he could not be a musician because he was deaf... but he didn't listen.

    A bloke is visiting his mother in a mental hospital when in the same room he comes across a guy moving his arms around and making beeping noises.
    "Excuse me", he asks him. "What on earth are you doing?"
    "I'm driving my car!, says the guy excitedly. "Beep beep!"
    "You fecking nutbar, you're not in a car, you're in a mental hospital!"
    A voice comes from the bed opposite. "Mate, shut up will you, he's giving me twenty quid a day to wash the bloody thing

    After a stressful day, one man comes home and sits in his backyard, drinking a beer.
    As he's getting up to get a snack, he stops and asks, "Jesus, what is the meaning of life?"
    To which Jesus replies,"You slave in the sun to support the ones you love. You make money so you can buy things for your family to keep them happy."
    The man asks,"Jesus, why is life so hard?"
    To which Jesus replies,"That, no one may ever know. You have to overcome many obstacles to be successful."
    The man asks again,"How was the universe created?"
    Jesus replies,"I'm sorry, señor, but can you stop asking questions? I'm trying to mow your lawn."

    A major hurricane (Hurricane Shazza) and an earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter Scale hit Wolverhampton in the early hours of Monday with its epicentre in Whitmore Reans. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "fukinelll".
    The hurricane decimated the area causing almost £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa Del Sol were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their Giros arrived.
    Wolverhampton FM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Wolverhampton . One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Jeremy Kyle the next morning."
    Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.
    The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Special Brew to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Ratners and Bone China from the Pound shop.
    HOW CAN YOU HELP?
    This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include:
    Fila or Burberry baseball caps
    Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
    Shell suits (female)
    White stilettos
    White sport socks
    Rockport boots
    Any other clothing items usually sold in Primark or Lidl.
    Food parcels may be harder to come by but are needed all the same. Required foodstuffs include:
    Microwave meals
    Tins of baked beans
    KFC
    Ice cream
    Cans of Special Brew.
    22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms.
    £2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of nine.
    £5 buys fags and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

    Good morning...

    Hey Det, expressing my concern too, had a family member who struggled and was able to get into a rehab program, made all the difference for them, was a life saver. Wish you could figure out how to get that wonderful treatment, I know you want to be AF more than anything in the world, drinking has not been fun for a long time. Thanks so much for posting, we all care and want the best for you.

    TT, looking for a job is a full time job, I remember spending hours creating great cover letters, lots of work. Know you are doing a great job and wishing you the best.

    Hey Mick, love the jokes, you funny man.

    Hello to all and have a great AF Friday.

      MAE ALL....

      Mick...thanks for starting us off. Glad to hear everything has been sorted and you're right now the family can move on. Sorry to hear about Amy but best it gets sorted before any marriage takes place.

      Snoop...I hope you have a great AF Friday as well.

      Apologies for not talking to everyone but although I'm on the mend I have zero energy. Doesn't help that I haven't had a decent sleep in over a week. Going to make an appointment with the Doc, get some blood work done and see what she suggests. I've also decided to start Champix to help stop smoking. I basically can't afford it, and money is a hug issue at the moment.

      Hope we all have a Fantastic Friday and I'll check back later, if I have the energy.....:smile:PPQP

        MAE All,

        Mick, what city in Florida are you going to? Hi,Snoopy! PQ, it would be a challenge for me to afford my old drinking habit, but so far I find the money for cigarettes, even though there are much better uses for those funds. Glad you're feeling better, and hope your energy returns soon.

                Hi ABsters,

                Pauly, that feeling I know all too well. But lately for me it's gotten just stupid. I need help to deal with divorce grief and also to deal with AL. It's obvious I need more help than I've allowed myself.

                I'm great at researching the right things i should be doing, but totally crap out on follow through on those things. I'm looking for meetings and doing all the self-work I can at home here in the meantime. AL is determined to kill me and I'm determined too live. I'ts really come down to that carnal of a situation.

                Making a pledge to post every day here no matter how many excuses I come up with.

                you are an awesome bunch and I'm super grateful to have you here.

                love
                nosce te ipsum

                    Hi abbeys!
                    Wishing all a sober Feb!

                    Hi Pauly,
                    Sorry I stalked you here from So Calis thread. Just wanted to offer you a hug & sorry to hear you had a slip :happy2: I dunno if you know but I have kids too & at one point felt like a really terrible mum drinking & letting them down which put even more pressure on me & made me feel even more worthless. I think you did fab - from before me coming here mid November? You deserved every day of that sobriety & are so worth it x I'm thinking of you & sending strength xx
                    Take care
                    LS
                    To see a world in a grain of sand
                    And a heaven in a wildflower.
                    Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
                    And eternity in an hour.

                      Me again...

                      Pi...it's gotten to the point where breathing is difficult especially with this cold weather. Time for a change.

                      Ttops...I feel for you, hope things turn around soon.

                      Pauly...my trigger was always when things were going good, no worries, then thoughts of I can have a drink tonight. NOT! You've got lots of sobriety time behind you so dust yourself off and get on with it again. Don't give up on us, we'll help with the drawing board any way we can.

                      Det...I like your pledge, we worry about you when you don't check in. You've got a lot going on so stay close.

                      LS...always nice to see support from other threads.

                      Energy level still pretty low, not eating well which must be contributing to it. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing.
                      Have a peaceful night everyone....:smile:PPQP

                        Guten abend Herr Mick & everyone!

                        Mick, glad things worked out for you yesterday with the burial.
                        Very sorry about Amy & her boyfriend. Who knows, maybe they will eventually work it out? Anything is possible.
                        The doors open & the bunnies showing no interest reminds me of my older dog these days, ha ha! I literally have to lift her 100 lbs to her feet & shove her outside a couple of times each day. She used to want to stay out all the time, regardless of the weather. The birds at the feeder seem to come & go in groups. I have to keep refilling the feeder so they all get a chance to fill up

                        Det, you are not an island man, don't try to do this on your own. We are all equally concerned about you & want to see you happy & healthy :hug:

                        Pauly, go see what I wrote on the other thread for you - please. You take care too!

                        PQ, feel better!

                        TT, good luck with the job apps.

                        Hello SnoopStar, Pie, Nora & LS!

                        SF, I couldn't imagine a Cleveland winter, ha ha. Talk about COLD!

                        Not much going on here & that is perfectly OK with me
                        Wishing everyone a peaceful night.

                          Det-I didn't realize that you and DX were having problems. I really don't know how my husband put up with me for so long. I don't know what your resources are in terms of health insurance, but I would go to a rehab center ASAP. Period. When you are in the thick of it---its so easy to get weeks, months and think your going to be just fine. Looking back I really wish I had gone to rehab. There are so many options. You can research the hell out of something and by this point I think you have figured out that that there is no magic cure. There are just some things I am not willing to put on here.....but, there was a lot of hard work that had to be done. Some days were just plain torture. If I were to start drinking again, I would go. No doubt about it. I am too much about having freedom in my life and that foundation is built on not being chained to al. And I was fucking chained to it. And it chained down the rest of my life. No fucking way. Now that I have truly seen the other side---I am not immune----but, I sure as hell would run to the closest rehab that would take me. It would truly scare the hell out of me. And how I lived that long that way is beyond me. First you get well. Then maybe you will have the opportunity to make things well with DX. But, you have to get well first. By well, I don't mean 853 days sober---I mean the kind of well that can't be counted in days.

                          PQ--chantix really is the only thing that worked for me. The thing is---there really is no effort or willpower on your end. You simply forget to smoke. I don't know if its the chantix or not---but, I've lost 15 pounds.

                          Pauly-when you say, "zero tolerance policy"....it's like you have put a "rule" on the table. I don't think you have lost your sober time. This coming from someone who is not a "time" counter. I honestly could not give you the date I last drank, even though I do remember the hangover. I think "time" helps, but for me it wasn't the key. My whole perspective on it changed. I felt like I had been tricked into believing that al would do all these things for me. When people say that advertising doesn't effect them--I call bullshit. You have no idea how much money goes into research for advertising and implanting beliefs, without someone realizing it. You logically KNOW all this is bullshit, yet there you (I) sat at the beer store again. So now I feel like I woke up and the people who sold me the BS, have sold the same BS to society. Even alcoholics dance around its ok for you to drink, but not me bullshit. Its a drug. Could you imagine if we started seeing ads for heroin---the world would be in an uproar. Yet, it is perfectly legal for them to use every trick in the book to sell us al. I just call bullshit. Because I have crappy days....days I don't give a fuck about anything----but, I will not have a day that I believe al is anything other than what it is. People are all screaming we have an opiate problem in this country...really because al kills 10x that number of people and nobody bats an eye. Its the alcoholics fault---yet, with opiates it the doctor's fault. Its that kind of messed up thinking, that makes people think al is safer and the fault of the person who drinks it. I call bullshit.
