Kaily, you’re not moaning, but if you feel like moaning, then do it. Its fine. I know we’ve all got our own ways and I think your dad seems set in his ways and won’t budge.

Prayers to you both, Snooz and Kaily.

Sorry for your loss Tetra. Even bearing this sad news, I so happy to hear from you.

Lost my mum many years back to cancer. I remember the hugs as she withered to skin and bone....

Kaily

Morning all.

Happy International Mole Day!

I don't know if as we get older we become more conscious of cancer. It definitely seems that I have been to so many funerals because of cancer the last few years. One person I really appreciated here lost to cancer. Last Thursday my first cousin Christine 45 with 3 kids lost to cancer. Yesterday I found out that my sister's husband (bil) who I wrote about last year (prostate cancer) has had some worrying blood test results. Unfair indeed. As I have often said on SR - cancer sucks.

One of the reasons why sobriety and recovery is so important to me now is because we have a second chance. There is still hope. One day we might get news and there may be no more second chances... Some things are within our control others are not.

Enough said.

Take care weekenders

Vinny, I agree, there is far too much of cancer about, I hope one day it will be a thing of the past.

Kaily I love the picture.

Saou, there really is a mole day! 2019 theme: DespicaMOLE Me!

Developed a cold whilst coming off my asthma meds ready for lung tests on Friday as requested by specialists. So feeling a bit groggy this morning, I’m ok though.

Through everything, staying sober makes it possible to deal with all things.

Have a good Wednesday xx

Morning, thanks for the chuckle Kaily. I have a geek friend at work whom I bet already knows about mole day. have a good day everyone.

andyh

that sounds particularly good Sao

hope everyone is doing well.

saoutchik

Feel better soon Mags, I've not long got over a cold so I should be safe for a while.

Good to see you Andy.

STDragon

Yup, said geeks wife is a chemist. He knew the mole formula.

I try to be patient and tolerant, but today it must be said: I work with a bunch of idiots.

SnoozyQ

I have known a few moles in my time didn’t know they had their own day.

I like moles, the creatures.

Thick head this morning, with the cold I’ve caught, I suspect. I hope it won’t stop my lung function tests tomorrow.
I can’t get over how I used to accept a headache every morning as part of life from drinking the booze. Madness.

It goes to show how addiction gets to us, as I wouldn’t purposely make myself ill but there I was, tipping alcohol back like there was no tomorrow.

Hoping all absent friends are well, Bim, MantaLady, MesaMan.

Morning,

Hope you feel better soon Mags. A bit of rest and relaxation needed.

I bought a new tv for my bedroom yesterday. Set it up and then my pesky av came out to play. Thoughts of how nice it would be to get a few bottles of wine and spend the day in bed drinking and watching it came flooding in. So annoying, worrying and so real.

Anyway we must also add captain Haddock to the missing list. Always such a gentleman.

Mags1

Kaily oh gosh, how could I forget the Captain. nice one on kicking the AV’s butt.

Hi All, I just logged back on for some support. I'm on day 5 no alcohol and I feel terrible. I don't know if it is the detox or I'm getting ill and it's coincidence. I can't get warm, feel exhausted and aching all over.

I'm taking the B vitamins, eating healthy and trying to get lots of sleep. I don;t remember this being a factor in the previous times I gave up. Maybe I'm getting old

I'm just hear to moan really but all of this good motivation to keep going, I don't want to go through this again.

Hi numberthree - a lot of us got sick in our first weeks- low grade colds & flu stuff but still not fun.

I think I basically ran myself into the ground as a drinker.

When I got sober my immune system was shot - I'd carried it for years with artificial stimulants.

Your immune system will recover but it might take a week or two.

Be good to yourself in the meantime
