Oops, only just saw this post, sorry.


Not much, I am trying to get my desktop PC to work. I might have to replace the mother board so I am looking on Ebay for a cheap one.

What is going on with you?

I would never deliberately ignore your post hun, I just didn't see it. Sensitive is nice! Better than being insensitive.

You are right sensitive is nice, over sensitive bites.

I'm feeling a bit over sensitive today but sober and over sensitive, which is an improvement on my normal state.

Nice to see that serious has been recommisioned and hope it has a long run.

Have a good sober day Stone.

Evening Stone !! Just back from lunch with a friend. (member I , 12 stepped) she over from Usa, got sober here and is heading back on monday. Its early days for her and I hope she gets in with a few strong people over there. We were quite emotional parting ways, but we will keep in touch on net etc. We were laughing at the idea of her coming here to get sober. sunny again here. Did you go out? hope you are having a nice evening.

Hi Porty, sober + sensitive is better than drunk + anything.

Hi Nelco, I hope your friend does well.

I haven't been out today, I have been cleaning the insides of the broken desktop PC, going manic deciding whether to try and fix it or cut my losses and sell the bits that are OK.

I am still using the laptop with the broken screen as a desktop, plugged into my monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, lol. It is working fine even though it is an old underpowered thing. I installed Tiny XP on it and it is great for web surfing.

I tend to go a bit manic while trying to decide things, one minute I am looking on Ebay for replacement mother boards and the next minute I am in the loft looking for boxes to put the bits in if I sell it on Ebay!

I need to try to calm down.

I hope Dee doesn't shout at me for all the computer talk.

Hi Dee
He is scary isn't he?

Hi Hardwire, this thread is like my online recovery journal. I started it after my last relapse. People drop in and say hello but mostly it is me "journalling".

Hi Hardwired flaws......this Thread is about Stone and his recovery. Its about support for him on his journey, and some of us decided to join in supporting him....so far he is doing very well thanks to support on this thread and small changes and decisions he is making in his daily life. The following quote is from stone...

I am starting a new thread that is a journal for me. I started one called Bottoms nearly 2 years ago and went on to have 6 months sobriety, that ended new year 2008.
I drank a few one off times in the first few months of 2008, literally one night of drinking followed by weeks (even months) of not drinking, it wasn't causing any problems at that time but very slowly one night started turning into 3 or 5 days and that is enough to half kill me as my body cannot take that kind of binging. These episodes happened about once a month in the second half of 2008, I even went 2 months sober before Xmas.

Stoney, your journal here is helping me cause when I read it I am so glad your recovery is going so well and that encourages me in my own journey.

What's wrong with computer talk? You're ON a computer journaling your sobriety. That's a good thing.
