Willow - I just wanted to say I'm sorry this past year was so tough for you. I admire how you've come through with such perseverance and without alcohol to cope. Hope this new year is bright for you.

Hi Venus! Have a good one everyone.

Thanks Chaisson :) I hope this new year is bright for you too :hug:

Totally agree with Willow and Badge about the wonder that is Mother Nature. At the risk of sounding a teeny bit crazy, I'm going to share what I did on Saturday. Warning .... this is a little bit bonkers but it harmed no one and it's far less bonkers than numbing emotions with poison so here goes....
Every Saturday afternoon I take my dog for a walk through these beautiful woods. Last Saturday as me and dog set off, I thought to myself, 'today I'm going to find a beautiful stick and bring it home with me'. As we walked through the woods, I kept my eyes peeled for beautiful sticks on the ground and after 40 minutes or so, I had about 15 sticks in my hands. Then I stopped at this massive tree trunk and laid all the sticks out and looked at them. Then I had to work out which sticks weren't going through to the next round and eventually I had 2 sticks in the grand final. One was green and wonderful and the other was red and white striped. I wanted them both to win but there could only be one winner.... and when dog and I walked out of the woods, I brought the winning stick home with me. The winning stick wasn't important (it was the stripey one)... what was important was the fact I spent an hour immersed in nature and focused on something that has nothing to do with responsibility, grief, worry, fear, anxiety and all the other big stuff us humans have to handle. And it made me think about my kids. They're always collecting stones, shells, leaves, pine cones etc. They notice stuff ... they notice stuff all the time. .. stuff that often passes me by. Maybe it's because kids haven't forgotten yet... they haven't forgotten that this world is wonderful and magical and if you want to have fun you don't need to spend a load of money or get stressed about the details. I loved my hour in the woods collecting sticks.... I'm going to do it again this saturday. Reconnecting with nature has been one of the most joyful and unexpected consequences of sobriety.... and the miracle of nature is right there... outside my door... all the time. Makes me feel so blessed. Congratulations to everyone celebrating a milestone today and 24 more for me please xx
