Thanks for the new thread Dee.
I really like what you wrote about your family at the end of the last thread. I put it in my notebook and highlighted it!
CW, that sounds like a good plan wrt that particular branch of the family!
Love to all the Julyers.

Thanks Dee and Leshar.xx

Glad you are journaling Leshar. I’m not as regular as I used to be. I read back through an old one the other day, they definitely help. I do swear by them. (And in them! :))

Love and hugs to all and thanks for your kind notes to me here. The hiccup is over now and you all helped! xx

Hiya Julyers

Morning everyone x

Hi SW, I hope you're well and sleeping better.

Hello my buddies . We have been so busy getting the house for sale and it looks beautiful . Now we have decided to stay . Why have it looking this good to sell to someone else .
we have had no problem with neighbours as we drive in and just go straight out the back now .
im in such a better frame of mind now .
ijust ignore their alcoholic insults and come straight inside .
Retaliation has never been in my nature
I was starting to hate myself for reacting .
but the past 3 weeks have been lovely

Shaun and I are working as a team , we have been so busy

we figure that the way the market is going, hopefully their landlords will sell and they will move on .

if not , that’s ok , it’s been so much fun doing the house up , I haven’t felt this happy in a long time .

shaun has been wonderful , he is working hard with me around the house and we are getting on better than ever .

maybe things really do happen for a reason

like is good right now and I love going to bed being tired and not from booze


I love my life right now xxxx

Snoozy, pleased you and Shaun are doing well love. :hug:

Snoozy....I am really confused. What is going on with neighbours? :hug:

Good to hear from you Snooz - take care of yourself

D

well done Snooz

Hi Snoozy, it's so good to hear from you. I'm glad you and Shaun are doing well!

Night gang x

Sweet dreams Wolf.

Hi gang.
I can honestly say I was quite depressed this morning.
The increasing inflation and cost of living here is getting bad.
Petrol is costing more than I have ever seen it.
Sorry to rant, my sobriety is fine and I never think of drinking again.
Just venting.

It certainly is tough times Bob but I'm glad we're all sober...we might not make it otherwise...

We have lettuce here for $12 Bob ($8.50 USD)…it’s horrible. But remember how much we spent on alcohol each week for years.

Tomorrow is not promised, find the beauty in what you can today.

I had to make some tough decisions this week to cut off an old school friend due to finding out they had gambling issues. When I was reading about gambling addiction, I found out it can surface in recovering alcoholics/addicts. Starts off quite innocently (doesn’t it always)…but because our neural reward system has already had a dependency, the high of gambling can be intensified.

I personally had never seen this correlation before (I have seen it with food), but am grateful. It’s something for me to be mindful of as I’ve liked a bet on a horse a few times a year, but won’t do that without consideration now.

love to all xx

Leshar, any theatre shenanigans coming up???

prayers CW

thanks PJ. A week later and I’m at peace with my decision. As much as I can be, at least.

Was a learning experience about me.

Hi lovelies.

oh Bob I’m so sorry you are feeling a little depressed.
The world has certainly changed hasn’t it.
petrol here is ridiculous.
I suppose the only consolation is we all understand it and we are not alone xx
just know you always have your buddies here to lean on.
9 years of wonderful friendships x

xxx love you all xxx

Hi CW and Snoozy :)

D

I shared with my 2 adult sons (who always message back/are friendly, but still a bit wary of f2f), I am over 2000 days sober...came reply from youngest 'I am proud of you Dad'. I replied 'thankyou that means more to me, coming from you, than anyone else, except your brother, I care for you both a great deal'.
Came the reply, 'I know'., from both sons...

Hiya darling Dee buddy :)

PJ !!!! that’s just SO wonderful my friend.
your boys have definitely come good.
you must be rapt :-)
One day I may be as lucky as you xxx

:cheer:


love to each and every one of you, my friends:kiss:
