Nice to hear from you Tetra.
I hope you get through this rough patch....

Good morning weekenders.
A new week commencing early
My daughter has a sore throat so she called at about 03:00 in the morning. She is in my bed now...

Hopefully everybody made it through the weekend sober and if you didn't don't make it worse.

Hope you all have a good day.

Coffee time.

saw this today - don't know this woman, never heard of her blog or youtube page, but I thought this was a lesson we could all learn from, including myself

That is a great video, Dee.

Once when I worked in a Fotomat booth a customer’s pictures didn’t come in at the time they were scheduled to.

The guy became enraged and really ripped me a new one. He was pretty mean.

I thought, “What a psycho!”

Then a few days later I saw an obituary with his very distinctive last name.

Apparently his wife died of cancer within a couple days of his incident with me.

He probably was really counting on getting that film ASAP to show his wife before she died.

I felt so sorry for hating him and judging him.

Frightened Rabbit - I Wish I Was Sober

Hi there,

I wasn't sure where to post this song so I thought I'd put it here.

Scott Hutchison, the singer of this band had a history of alcoholism and mental health problems and sadly took his own life earlier this year. It was his death and the band’s lyrics and music that helped me to realise that I really had to change once and for all. 



I'm posting because watching this video now it brings to mind SR and the support that's to be found here:

Warning: Video contains brief beer drinking.

"My Light"

I've shared this one before, but it's another favorite of mine from Sully's solo material....I always think of SR when I listen to this
