I am in for another 24 hours just ardy:thanks

Just love and more love. :hug: ❤️❤️

Delilah honey....how is your BIL today? :hug: ❤️❤️

And prayers for your mum dear ardy. :hug: ❤️❤️

:hug:

(((ardy))) prayers sent.

She's a pinball wizard.... :biggrin:

We really did grow up in the same way, albeit in different parts of Aus....I imagine you spent some teenage years in pinball parlors in groups, or on a date....oh yeah, that was romantic....oh....and there were often fish and chips involved. Oh yum. :)

:hug: ❤️❤️

PS I LOVE the sound of a pinball machine.....Nick's dad bought one and put it in his old room....I want it. :)

I use to spend my bus fair on the pinny's and walk home from school.

Ahhhhh.....smiling at you big time.....can't wait until PJ and Kane weigh in.....and Dee as well.... I just told Nick we need that pinball machine when his dad gets sick of it. :)

Grief is a natural process sweetness - different for everyone. Raw 'feeling' is something we avoided with a passion when drinking...so it can be confronting when it comes in sobriety.

All natural, and not to be avoided (very hard and confronting sometimes).

I still miss my Mum and have a cry, and it's been well over a decade. Sending you big hugs.xx

24 more for me please!
Crazy work January seems to be going quite well so far (tax return deadline month). My second sober one and carrying the comfort of sobriety and quiet pride does help a lot. I know I will cope and I will only give as much of myself as is right.
Lots of love to you all ❤❤❤

Glad I could make you smile love.

Just found out that (when I asked and I should have remembered) that the pinball machine is Nick's....15th birthday present. :)

Oh wow....CW is here.... how wonderful. :hug: ❤️

And hello darling jojo. :hug: ❤️

Prayers, dear ardy.

:hug: I think I’m not used to feeling anything much. I drank for 35 years, since I was 15. I guess I numbed out all the hard things with alcohol. Now I’m experiencing the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with, and the intense raw emotion is sometimes so overwhelming. I think after having to suppress my grief the last few weeks of being in ongoing social situations, now means that as I’m alone now, all the pent up grief is pouring out.
And I’m getting a headache. I really need to make myself get up out of bed and make myself a coffee.

Thank you Calmerwaters :hug: ❤️
