Just a pop by to say that I'm not making any plans to drink or use in my day. |
Who needs drinking? I made a joke: What did the Whig say when he was skewered by his political rival? (scroll for it) toupée! https://s27.postimg.org/6j4o2jiv7/Toupee.gif |
That's pretty good courage! I'm not going to drink/use today! |
GROAN! :fright: |
^^^ that's what my brother said. Stupid puns are my favs. |
A pastor at one of my churches used to have a Bible study. When the lesson was over, there would be friendly chitchat--and inevitably he'd start making really horrible puns. Everyone quickly left! It was as if he sprayed bug spray--a surefire means of clearing the room FAST! |
Courage - Thumbs up for your joke! When I have a big project or busy schedule my self care tends to fly out the window. Between prepping for putting the house for sale and being busy at work, I am making it a point to schedule breaks and eat right. I am taking a quick break right now, made myself a healthy coconut-cocoa-strawberry smoothie (w/kale!) and coming here to reaffirm that I need to do the right things to keep drinking off the table. :) |
Peaceful sleep, to all. I'm still in a mood-slump but I keep rising above what I feel, so far every day since it started, last Friday I think. If I were drinking I'd be in the serious doldrums. I'm going to see if I can find a picture of the Doldrums. Be right back! |

umm -- making a lot of typos lately. Nothing "ever" happens -- I think it's always just a little bit eery. |
Personally, I post from a phone keyboard with "autocorrect," so sometimes I say crazy and outlandish things! I didn't even notice your typo; I read "ever." :) It is a really smart and healthy thing to check in and tell us when you're struggling with your mood. Sometimes just saying it to somebody takes away 90% of its power. Another thing I commend you on: analysis of your moods and motivations. I am very, very bad at analysis of my emotions. I was horrible at writing journals. But as I told somebody a couple days ago, writing on here--to people--really helped me to break down my emotions bit by bit. You are also excellent at assessing motivations. I strive to be more like you! :) I'm glad you're resolved to carry on as usual and not allow your emotions to lead you around. BTW, I made three typos in this post. That was only the ones that I caught! |
Gilmer, it's nice that you can blame auto-correct for your crazy and outlandish things you say! courage, thanks for giving us the doldrums! I won't drink/use today anyway! |
Hi, Tom! |
Gilmer, thanks. Drinking wreaks havoc on analysis, and since analysis is my bread-and-butter, it's a good thing I quit. I still have a lot to learn, but I have one lesson down for today: I won't drink. |
Hi Gilmer! |
|
Gilmer - you are just like me the past two days. I've sent two work emails this week with attachments - forgetting to attach. Haha, but, I do not need to drink or use over it. |
I didn't forget: I just can't manage to cut and paste with my phone, so it took me a long time to type the whole link in accurately. I was in the process of it when we cross-posted! |
