Snooker
Wish me luck playing snooker ! My brother has been practising !
I'll be gone for 3 hours good down time for me once a week regular
When you read this post did you stop thinking of drink for 30 seconds can you imangine if ur doing something productive iI'm not saying nobody isn't just that its a great help
Newcomers go do something anything non alcohol related and see how u feel post results
Exercise/walk dog go jog bicycle run clean house do something small don't look at scaling the mountain blow it up and take life'sproblems on bit by bit
I hope I win I lost 3-1 last time and I'm meant to be the better player

Update... I lost again badly my younger brother absolutely destroyed me 3-1
He has been practising and I haven't been practising but that's the way it goes
He seemed really pleased with himself lol
The simple things no matter how small are massive for me I was happy just chewing the fat with my kid brother he's in recovery aswell and its such a beautiful thing 2 brothers completely sober having a laugh bit of banter and getting along
All because I'm sober and he is sober

Favourite players mine have to be Alex hurricane Higgins Stephen Hendry Ronnie O'Sullivan
Really liking the Australian Neil Robertson and the new world champ and No#1 Mark Selby

I had to look it up. I heard of it but have no clue of the rules and scoring. I watched a vid of Ronnie ORourke scoring a 147 break in 5 minutes. But I think I could figure it quickly just from watching 1 video. red, black, red, black until all reds are in, then colors and black last. 1 pt 7 pts don't know the colors part.
how many colors are there grn, whit, blue? ??

Sorta Brian, 1 red then 1 colour, but the colours have different points, the black being the highest is why it's more desirable and is the only way to create the highest break possible of 147!!
There's 6 colours and then when all 15 reds are gone, the colours are potted in order!!

I compare snooker to chess very strategic
