Well its almost December and you forget the pressure people are under with parties and so on before December 25th and if thats not enough new years eve just after. Its been on everything Instagram, Facebook and so on but we are so lucky nowadays to have all this support online with those giving great advice, being in the same place as those who have an understanding of what this addiction is like.
Just like to say good luck to anyone starting or even thinking about giving up before Christmas it was a great choice for me.
Lovely calm morning to be thinking about stuff like this.🙂.

I agree AL, it's a good time to quit. Alcohol would add nothing to my holidays but unhappiness.
I still have to navigate the holidays carefully, but it's nothing to do with booze ... it's more about being gentle with myself, not pushing myself too hard, and not spending time with people I don't really want to hang out with.

Its a good day today. Sober anniversary today i feel better about today than i did for my 50th in September. Yes being 50 is great but getting sober is like some sort of accomplishment. Anyway feels good🙂.
The walk to work was pleasant but too warm for December. Still look on at the one wall of that castle on the oppisite side of the river and wonder how its still standing after a few hundred years. Wind rain cannon balls and still its there. Stubborn like myself.

Its happening. The Christmas tree is going up. Now its lovely and my wife dose a great job but ive no interest in it anymore, well that is since the kids grew up its just not the same excitement for me. She goes all out, big tree, decorations everywhere, at this stage a small tree in the corner would be fine. I can hear them down stairs giving up on it all as we speak😅. I will give a hand after my shower. The walk this morning was just what i needed fresh Atlantic air.
The swan population over wintering has grown to 14 now too, more must have arrived this morning.

Hi AL, so great to catch up.
Jeepers, it had been since 10/30 !
lots of great pics, they are calm in my storm , so thanks very much— your time and effort is much appreciated!
i “borrowed” the mushroom one that Caramel researched. ‘Inkspot’. Very cool.
i guess the job never came up with enough money to get you to switch. They say it’s the people at work that kill our souls, not the work. So true.
much love and big hugs,
❤️🤓
