The weekend comes and goes so quickly doesn't it? I had such a relaxing day yesterday, didn't get out of bed until 9am, read the Sunday papers, pottered around the garden, sat in the sunshine, and generally replenished my spirit. So I have no excuse for not having a productive day today. Only 4 weeks to go until my holiday, and there's lots to sort out at work before then. I find the run up to a holiday quite stressful, so I intend to clear the decks as early as possible, to allow for the last minute crisis which always seems to happen on the Friday before a break. Anyway, hope everyone's doing well. |
Hi fools. Day 9 on the recovery trail. Feeling good. Good stuff freein. Its great to have you and Up leading from the front. Daddy daughter, day no 2. Back to work on Thursday. Hope all are well out there..... stay tuned....... |
Keep at it obo, double digits tomorrow. Enjoy your time with your little girl, they grow up so fast that it will seem like if you blink you will miss everything. Have a great day everyone. |
Morning fools.. Daddy daughter day, no. 3. We're a good team.... Back to reading the literature, and getting right into it. Thanks Up. Day 10. Hope all are well.... stay tuned..... |
Obo ... obo ... obo. :You_Rock_ Been in a sad/weird funk all day. I don't expect it to go away anytime soon but at least I'm clean and sober. Going to try and get some sleep ... wish me luck. Have a great day / night everyone. |
Up:Grinspoon... bad funk stripe. on YouTube..... |
Hope your week gets better UP. Hey obo :) D |
Great work Obo. Hope your return to work goes well. I'll be watching the last episode of the Chinese teaching experiment tonight. I'm interested to find out how they get on in the English school. UP, hope you're sleeping soundly and wake up refreshed to a better day. I've started developing a personal "rule of life", inspired by the monastic communities. I've included "sobriety, simplicity and gratitude" as my over riding principles. It feels good to get it down on paper, for some reason. It seems to tighten up my resolve to keep on moving forward towards a more conscious lifestyle. I have my performance review today (supervision), I should find out a bit more about the companies restructuring plans. I'm not sure if the impending changes will involve me or not. Have a good day all. |
I hope your performance review went well free, also hope that the shakeup at work doesn't affect you. |
Back in to work today. 1 academic year to go..... Day 12.... hope all are well..... stay tuned.. |
Hope your first day back goes well, Obo. Thanks UP. I think it went OK, there's some changes in the higher levels of the organisation, I don't think it will effect me too much, but I'm feeling sorry for those people at the top. I have family staying over this weekend, they like their wine, but they know I don't drink so I'm not expecting any pressure. It's the internal, sneaky voice I'm more worried about. I don't want to give it any room to lay down any seeds of destruction. I just need to stay vigilant. I'm sure it will be fine. Have a great day all. Soon be the weekend. |
Close call tonight. It passed. Relapse has made the av louder and more difficult to deal with. 2 weeks tomorrow. In for the bargain. stay tuned.... |
It's often harder I hear, obo. Not trying to put the mockers on you, but do you think SR and your own willpower will be enough this time? D |
I do. But I'm open to any of your suggestions. I certainly have a deeper understanding. The momentum, of the group originally, is missed by me though... Thanks Dee.... |
Morning fools day 14 2 weeks. No one can upset you like family. The fight with my brother cost me 15 months... Changing my focus to anger. I had dropped the ball in my recovery first. Wasn't vigilant enough. After a year of being sober I started to think I was ok. 2 weeks ago i had 2 glasses of champagne, then went to the shop for a beer on the side and vomited to it all up.... I know now it's right behind you... I dont wanna go back to being a drunk.... Im not going back! It's all in my head. stay tuned....... |
Congrats on 2 weeks obo. You don't have to go back, you can do this. I need to be vigilant, I feel like I'm juggling the ball right now and I can't juggle. In for the bargain. |
Thanks for the support of Up.... I'm in too... |
lol, I kinda figured you thought it would be enough. I genuinely hope you're right Obo :) You're always free to start a thread in the main forum, anytime, for more support. The Under One Year thread is another option :) D |
Thanks Dee.... I might do that.... I check SR about 20 times a day, so more interaction with is probably a good idea.... |
Up... I can't juggle either |
