I am going to challenge myself today......... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

OVERIT · 02-28-2006, 08:16 AM

...to return to something that I love. Something that besides photography is the best thing I like to do with my free time. I have a whole room for it. My very own scrapbook room.

But for some reason or another, I have not been able to go in there and even complete one page since I got home from detox. Not one. And I don't know why. Maybe it is a trigger for me. For I used to scrap and drink. So, maybe I am scared of that.

But today, I will enter that room and I will sit down at my desk and I will create.

I have an idea for a page too. I want to scrapbook a very dear, newly acquired friend.

I think it will be good therapy for me, don't you?

Thanks for letting me share.

ETA: Is there anything you want to challenge YOURSELF to do today?

my brother · 02-28-2006, 11:56 AM

Well, today is kind of over today here but I will say what I am going to challenge myself to do tomorrow.

Tomorrow my brother is coming up to Norwich to visit me for a cople of days, he is the only brother I have left now so I am really looking forward to spending some time with him and perhaps help him with the problems he is going through with my other brothers death.....

I have not been able to do hardly any work since all this happened and I really should especially concidering I have to hand in my dissertation on the 6th May and I haven't made much progress on it, concentration is really difficult.....it is also my last chance, I graduate on the 14th July so I can't really ask for an extention.

So after that humungous intro I have decided that by the time my brother comes up here tomorow I will have done at least the first quarter of the next chapter of my dissertation!! It will happen, I can really afford for it not to.

OVERIT · 02-28-2006, 12:10 PM

Hope you have a great time with your brother!

Yeah, iI've been meaning to talk to someone about that. Who do I talk to about this whole time difference thing? "Cause", I don't like it. Seems like I keep missing all of my British buddies. Do you think I should contact the Queen?

OVERIT · 02-28-2006, 12:33 PM

Okay, I talked to the Queen and she said it was fine to do away with the time differences. She just said we need to start a petition. So, I'll head that up. She also said to tell everyone at SR

Tell Mr. Purddy that we appreciate him sharing. From everything that you have shared, he sounds like a GEM!

my brother · 02-28-2006, 06:19 PM

OVER IT,

I am definatly up for signing that petition thing....see....its effecting me too....Tuesdays nights I am always up late coz of the basketball and Ross' obsession with the game and your not here.....

Ooooooo...just thinking about it this petition could solve all sorts of things...he wouldn't have to stay up all night untill 4:30 am to watch the basketball on American time therefore would not miss uni on a wednesday at 11 because he is too tired therefore not fail his degree in the long run!! I love it!!! Over it, we have to stop the time difference!!!

Oh Purrdy I am going to try my hardest to motivate myself to write something coherant about the Bauhaus tomorrow...I have a sneaking suspision that I may have chosen the wrong topic to write 12.000 words on!! I hope your further research goes well and you don't get in the shite...we wouldn't want that. Hope the people at uni are being less annoying too. sleep well and I hope you get your 23 hours.

p.s You worked for the fire department??

Purrdy · 03-01-2006, 02:48 AM

yes, I was a retained fire fighter for a year...got my as they call it 'competence to ride' LOL after all the intensive training!!! those wer the days when i did not smoke and I had a FLAT tummy!!!!LOL, it was fantastic, I loved it. Some of the blokes could be really bitchy as at the end of the day i think thier masculinity was threatened but ther is a place for women in all services and trades...I may not have been as strong as some of the blokes but still had to carry an adult sandbag dummy down the ladder from a burning building and reassure that it would be ok! LOL LOL!!!!

Ihad to put ladders up and rescue balls of rope and allsorts!!! LOL, got very wet, got very tired but it was good training and I enjoyed the challenge!

no I didnt get 23 hours last nigh my bloody cat came in and woke me up! she's not allowed inthe bedroom anymore and I think hub left door open when he went to the loo so she took advantage and sneaked in trying to convince me that I had not fed her since the last millenium at 3.22am!!! She got shoved out of the door rather rapidly and told to go get a takeaway!!!!(usually a mouse or vole)

i feel tired today, my eyes are sore and keep watering, i hate feeling like this! Still the sun is shining and i have a lot of stuff to get on with so had better get on and do something!!!

keep plodding at that dissertation, a bit everyday even if its small and it will get done it will, its like recovery some days are good and you get a lot achieved and others are total crap! so dont be too ahrd on yourself!

love to you all
