Good morning,

Thank you Dee. Well done Bodhi!

I hope everyone got through saturday sober. If not, start making a plan now for next weekend. What was your trigger? Did you make some apparently irrelevant decision that put you near drink or with others that drink?

Nice evening here. Had a chicken roast dinner and veggie options. Comforting for a rainy evening. Little Sis enjoyed it. She's looking content in her expecting state. Just a few weeks to go.

Sunny day here. A walk to the marina and the beach me thinks.

Sad.

I go on a lot of dates- I'm pretty good at them.
But in all honesty- I want to be with my Irish ex- I curse the day I left him- it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
I think of him every time I'm with someone else- and it's been years.

It's exactly like this

Congrats on shotgun, Jen!

Mmm, roast chicken, nice, Behan! Congrats to your sister! How cool that little Finn will have a cousin close in age to play with!

I know that longing feeling, Jen, it's a big old sad sigh from the heart. Xoxo

I just emailed him.
We keep in touch; but this time I told him I'm still in love with him- years later.

I'm sure he'll write that he's with someone else blah blah.
Just thought I'd tell him anyway.

Thanks Dee

Congratulations on shotgun Jen

Short run this morning, it was intermittently noisy outside my flat last night, students who have just taken exams I think. I'm sorta envious of their futures.

Scrambled eggs on toast scrummy not scummy (it is auto Carrott as I nearly did it again)

Waking up sober and happy this morning, thank you all for the support last night, I fell asleep halfway in to my first frasier episode. I love everything with Martin, he cracks me up.
I'm doing my morning bulletproof coffee ritual, waiting for it to brew. The kids do not know how to sleep in! Baby girl woke at 6, and i listened to her play over the monitor till 630 when she finally decided my attention was desperately needed. Then she ate everything!!! She's feeding herself now, so Ive been putting bits of things on her tray and she goes to town. She gets so happy about it, super cute.

I'll be checking in today, hope you all have a lovely and productive sunday.

Great to hear chickenlady!!!!

Morning enders. Ready for a new day.

Futz around today. That's not a autocarrot. Just a stupid term I use. It's a weaselism.

Hope everyone is doing well and ready to have a nice sober day!

Having a bedroom with no clutter , clothes in draws and not on the floor , bed sheets all tidy, removing all old cd's dvd's & books and other detritus ..

More stuff to do, one room nearly down …

Glad you're feeling better, Bix. Don't push it if you don't have to.

I have a Macedonian in my past like this.
I'm headed towards 51 birthdays this year, and he went back to Europe
and his former life some 30 odd years ago now after finishing his BA degree at my Uni.

I never wrote (actual letters back then were needed Jen )or emailed later on, though I usually
stay friends with exs as well.

He married his beautiful former girlfriend, had kids, and has an interesting and meaningful creative career.
He also has grey hair now cut short, not the black mane I once enjoyed.
I know this because I looked around on internet about five years ago
(right before I quit drinking) and I was glad to see things had worked out for him without me so well.

I still miss him though, and make a point to send him and his family good mental wishes when he pops up in my mind.

Maybe I just felt more back in my twenties. Lots of hard living happened between then and now.
Who knows
Good thing there are hiking trails, gyms, and yoga.
I also play the guitar, but not well enough yet.

I think most of us have an ex that we will always think about and wonder "what if." I have two. They are both currently in my life as friends. There's a glimmer of hope for reconciliation with one, not so much the other. This is a tricky time for me, emotionally. I have to be carful that I don't get back together with someone I shouldn't, just because I'm lonely and wanting, well, you know.
