Ooh - England/Belgium will be worth keeping an eye on! |
Brazil got its well deserved win over Serbia. When the match was over and I started falling asleep I was taken out of my sleepiness by the view of a Serbian player wearing no shorts but only his pretty much bikini-type underwear. I wonder if he donated the shorts to the fans?? Off to bed weekenders. Nighty night. |
I'm tired, tired, tired, too tired to post... doing double shifts sucks. I'm looking forward to my day off on Friday. Goodnight, Weekenders! :grouphug: |
Sleep like a log, Snuf! |

Hi and good night all (soon). Hey Snufkin, if you don't mind, and if it's allowed, it would be really cool to see progress pictures of your commissioned piece. |
Eh can't sleep... trying to find some lullabies.... Anyone knows CocoRosie? I saw them in Warsaw two years ago... Too bad I was too drunk to enjoy their music. :( This song is haunting me; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTSckymd5MM |
Manta, Feb of this year saw me leave, successfully a recovery program- that focused on recovery with 2 counselling sessions a week, with hundreds of pages of CBT based homework and also to find long term safe housing for those without it. I was in it for 21 months. Honesty is the key, I think. I did not like sharing or even understand what the implications of what I said at first, so cooked was my brain. But over time- I established a rapport with my counsellors (2) . I always did what they asked of me- hard work tho it was. Good for you on persisting. Support to you. |
THIS.... sorry, that's my last CocoRosie post! They're really good tho, check them oot guys. ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiEqWYawpeU OK, going to sleep... this time for serious ;) |
Hi, Caramel! :wavey: |
Thanks Gilmer ❤️ It’s Thursday again here but this week I’m feeling great about a fun sober weekend ahead, and not tempted to drink at all, hopefully the AV stays right away :) Manta, big hugs to you. You’re doing such a great job of rebuilding yourself and your life sober, we’re all so proud of you ❤️ I don’t follow the soccer really, but I did hear on the radio the Aussies are out, thanks Sao :) Queensland is also out of the State of Origin (rugby league) as the Blues (NSW) won the first 2 games (best of three)... I guess we have to let them win once in a blue moon :lmao Have a great day/night everyone :wavey: |

Thanks Gilmer! The timeline is more about saying when I was x age this situation happened to me and made me feel x way so we are not necessarily encouraged to write about what we did when drinking but what happened to us before it became a problem. So something I am ok sharing here is that I have to write about how I felt when my Dad tried to commit suicide when I was 11, these are painful memories and ones I am very reluctant to revisit as I am scared of the pain it will bring up. I have blocked it out for so long and never really took time to acknowledge those feelings. I don’t know if that is one of the reasons I drink now I just know it happened. |

Dragon that is a very rough experience. I am so glad to read right after that post that you are enjoying life immensely. Proof that hard times and sad events do not mean a hard and sad life. |
Good morning to all the weekenders. It's a little cooler here this morning. Pretty busy at the moment with work and running off to concerts mid week dont make it easier :) My current management want me to stay in my present department and are offering some incentives so I am a little lost. I have two jobs lined up in other departments and they are waiting for my answer...I have a fantastic relationship with my colleagues and their is a great ambiance in work so Not the time to do anything hasty. Just getting a little tired of the same ol same ol if anyone can relate. Anyways enough rambling. Hope you all have a great day weekenders. Later. |
