Nick and I were up till all hours....gosh, 4am I think laughing this morning.
The Innocent Biscuit became the tale of a wronged cookie, accused of soiling himself in public (in a cup of tea). Of course, the true culprit was a tim tam....specifically an Adriano Zumbo red velvet tim tam. As any Aussie knows, those biscuits have become an endangered species. They will do anything to save themselves.
So how does an innocent biscuit prove its innocence? I dunno....it's a crummy position to be in.
PS. Sobriety freaking rocks....I am so happy. And getting very creative again. Writing, drawing, taking photos...there is no end to what I can do.

Wait until Jojo finds out you're a Northerner.. You'll be ganging up on me about whether the milk goes first in tea... and how to say " scone". !!
And don't even think about mentioning Marmite...
Have a great evening. xxxP.

Your daily truth from the Brave Girls Club...
Dear Seeking Soul,
Life is meant to be joyful.
When we allow our worries or challenges to consume all of our thoughts, all of our vision, all of our energy, to suck up all of our joy, all of our heart, all of our goodness, we are not letting anything else in our life have its place or its time.
Often we focus on a problem or an issue (or even allowing someone else to do it)...until it grows so big that we cannot see all of the other things in our lives that exist around it, behind it, above it, below it.
Dear friend, beautiful soul, take that worry from in front of your face so that you can see the people who love you, the way things keep working out, the way the sun rises each morning. Hear the sounds of your life, taste the tastes of your life, remember the things you have already learned and made it through. Remember how you want to feel and where you want to be.
Pick it up and deal with it as needed, but then put it back down and LIVE YOUR LIFE. Life is meant to be joyful.
You are so loved. There is a better way. Always go where the peace is.
xoxo

My brother has Whatsapped me today suggesting that I have a drink because (in his words) I obviously haven't given up for good, so there's no point depriving myself and making myself unhappy.
To be fair, I've lived on another continent for the last 12 years, so he doesn't know that I'm an alcoholic, or that I've given up for good.

I made a little post-it of that when I entered recovery. It was clipped to a magnet on my fridge.

Sometimes when we feel sorry for ourselves we will sit alone in our bedroom. We may even feel so down in the dumps that we decide to stay there, indulging in self-pity, thinking about how the world is against us.
However, if we use our imagination to step outside our own point of view for a moment, we might think differently. If we were deer in the forest, we would be thinking about keeping safe from the wolves, and where our next meal would be coming from.
The animals have no time to feel sorry for themselves, they are too busy doing what has to be done to survive, and each thing that happens presents a new survival problem to be solved.
When we feel blue, it helps to keep this in mind. If we have the time to feel down, and can get physically comfortable while doing it, how bad can the problem really be?
In what ways is my life comfortable, easy, and full of love?
