"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it." - Author Unknown
5:55am in Alberta, today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!
I'll have 24 more please, and thanks...

Hey Gabe - yes, the old deep-fried Mars Bar. I'm a Londoner, born and bred, and it's the first time I've seen one on the menu down here. Even had Irn Bru batter! Is that the way they make them up your way? I had it with ice cream and shortbread - gotta say it was good, but I felt the sugar crash in my soul.
Love to all of you out there, wishing everyone a peaceful day. Hope you're feeling better Leigh.

Anyway, the fact is, he could have killed people when he got behind the wheel of his car yesterday and he is extremely lucky that he didn't. But imagine how he's feeling today? His shame and fall from grace will be reported into every home in the UK and the world. Can his career recover from this? Does he deserve his career to recover from this? I have no idea, I'm not clever enough to have any answers. I just feel sad. And determined to do my little bit to fight the horror that is addiction. It would be good if society did a little more too. Stop filming well-known recovering alcoholics drinking pretend alcoholic drinks... that would be a start. Congrats to everyone celebrating a milestone today. ... 24 more for me please xxx

They sometimes pop up in the chip shops

I have always wanted to visit Orkney, along with the West Coast. So far I've only been to the Highlands, which was pretty special. Hope the weather isn't too brutal up there at the moment.

Long day- the times, for me are a changin'.
24 for all.
Don't drink. It's dumb.

Q: Why does Adam (as in ..and Eve) wear a fig leaf over his unmentionables?
A: Because he wears the pLants in the family.

Dee, thanks for starting this thread.
Leigh, hope you are feeling better soon!
Gabe, glad to hear you're tackling the inner critic. That one can be a beast and for me is taking counseling with a professional. It's an ongoing switch to awareness instead of the autopilot voice (kinda like the AV could be, I guess).
I'm settling into my skin again and would like this week to be another blank page (I'm still holding onto Dee's analogy from the other day). I'd like to fill it accomplishment and steadiness, with self-compassion and gentleness. 24 more over here.
Happy day to all of you. So glad you are here. Sending you kindness and love through each moment!
