LOL

Good morning Nelco.

I have had lots of sleep and I feel a little less flu-ish, still not right though. Damn foot is still sore too, I might as well have poured acid on it as tea tree oil, I can't bend the ankle cos it is swollen and have to use stairs sideways.
It should heel in a few days though and then there will be no stopping me!

Believe, I'm using this thread to be serious about my own recovery. Stoney won't mind, he's easy to get along with. Hope you're feeling better now!

Hi Least.

Least is right, Believe, you are welcome to post here. I did start the thread as a self-obsessed journal but I don't mind others posting how they feel and stuff, I am happy they feel able to share here.

When I get sick I take Echinacea and Goldenseal to 'jump start' my immune system. I've cured pneumonia that way, tho it took a few weeks.


I've got 78 days sober today! Yay!

Good morning Nelco.

I have had lots of sleep and I feel a little less flu-ish, still not right though.
Hello stone......I went to another meeting this morning ( I will be cured if I keep this up lol) An opportunity arose and I availed!! Went to a beautiful cafe and gift centre with hubby and now I am home cooking roast beef!!
I am glad everyone here is using the thread the way they need to. I only jumped in here in support of you after you posted this on that very first thread.....I hope no one takes offence that I focus on you therefore. I think its a GREAT idea that all people in early recovery use it for serious recovery

I am starting a new thread that is a journal for me.
and this....

I am starting this thread as a place to come most days and be honest with myself, sometimes when writing something comes out that I wasn't aware of before. I hope people will post here and say hello and offer their thoughts BUT I really don't want it to turn into another "Bottoms" thread, Bottoms evolved naturally into a thread for people to check into, be silly etc and that is fine but this thread has to be serious for my recovery.
Serious about recovery.....or it will kill me, if I start binging like I used to and keep it up for a period of time then that is what will happen.

The sad thing is part of me still wants to get wasted and after a period of time I seem to forget the pain involved and do it again. I do not want to be here next year saying all this again...that would be very sad.

I want to tell you a funny /strange story..............

I was helping a girl who was struggling for a while....She and I hooked up and met pretty regularly. until she had to move away. I still have contact with her and we chat often. I got a text message from her this morning saying" Hello and thank you for all your support.......today I am 53 days sober " Its the longest she ever got and she is grateful today....but I was in a café with my husband and I immediately remembered you and 53 days. I forgot to post that this morning but it was like a reminder to me....
So I am very happy for both of you!!

I appreciated you trying to keep the thread about me Nelcs, it was sweet of you. As I mentioned afterwards, I am glad people feel able to share here...that doesn't stop it being about self-obsessional ole me.

Another 53 day person eh? That's cool!

I cooked roast beef too, but what with one thing and another it is over-cooked, oh well. Beef cinders and potatoes tonight.

Yes, Ro, still on about the foot, be glad I haven't posted a picture, I nearly did! When did you turn Jewish? Oi vay!

Please God don't post a pic of your hairy white Liverpudian weeping foot. Not kosher - not kosher at all!
