Playing whack-a-mole with my AV
 
For this who do not know what whack-a-mole is, it's a carnival game where a board with a bunch of holes has a mole pop up and you smack it with a mallet. Fun for you but not the mole.

My AV has popped up over and over. Never know what hole... But I always whack'em!

I might me making light of it but I need to right now. To Give it any more seriousness and it gets more energy.

I have had such a rewarding weekend. I understand more this weekend what those who have remained sober have gone through. Previously I gave up. But when you stand your ground. Do for yourself what's needed. It is different and you do feel uplifted.

Thanks for the support I get here. Love ya all!

Whack-a-dubious-looking-piece-of-plastic is fun, I used to love it as a kid :)
I wasn't an alcoholic when I was a kid, but when I grew up I couldn't have fun without alcohol :(
I'm starting to have fun again now, its honest fun. I'm glad you are seeing it too Weasie :) x

Zee.... You made me laugh so hard.... They were never mole like were they? Bubious at best!

Yes... I had fun this weekend as well. Sober fun. I laughed a lot. Guess that's why the lighthearted post. It's still a deadly serious issue but this weekend I got a reprieve.

Thanks for the support! My best to you!

Well done, Weasel, this is great news. You can whack that mole, that's one way, but there is also the point-and-laugh gambit. It is a little less effort, I find.

I need to expell the energy. Get rid of the nervousness and fast heart beat that comes with cravings.

So whack'em works right now. Calmness will be when I get a bit further in it all.
