I am in for another day.

Took a long run earlier this afternoon.

It was nice to run in daylight, it is late afternoon now and dark.

The day has gained 3 minutes but the sun does still go down before 4pm. It will gain slowly the next month.

soberhawk, you sound like me counting how many minutes of daylight we've gained. I'm not one for the short, dark days either.

micealc, way to go on 40 days!!

Another 24 for me. 3 days till 1 year, getting close!!

We have around 7 hours daylight here, I grew up further north – there is less than 4 hours daylight up there now. I have mixed emotion regarding this on the one hand I do not like the dark on the other hand I do like the change in seasons and dusk periods in the north. I should be used to the dark periods by now.

I manage if I keep on exercising outside.

Well if I had the opportunity to move to the Alps or the Pyrenees I would probably do that; to a some place in southern France with no snow ever - I am not sure I would do that.

No smoking for me today, it is 80 days today

I will celebrate that with a run.

Forget about any slips folks. More important is time smoke free, and a positive attitude to keep tackling the problem. All of us are essentially always,only one day away from a drink or a drug.........

Milealc..I am across the channel in the UK! I went for a lovely long walk today across the South Downs then to a pub lunch just before the kitchen closed. Steak and Stilton pie for me..those of you around the world may not know the wonderful pleasures of a day like this! I would have been huffing and puffing up those hills and wondering when I could get my next nicotine fix..instead I really enjoyed the day, saw the most breathtaking views and didn't think once about nicotine...wonderful! Im in for another 24 hours x

I hope your leg is better wisc, nice seeing you

Well done Martina.

I have been a little shaken today. It is not urges that are bothering me it is more that I am unfocused, I have difficulty in concentrating and getting the things done.

Hey Soberhawk I have days like that too! I just accept that as a day where I am not going to do much and I am not going to feel guilty about it either! actually hoorah!
Wicsober what are we to do with you matey? You were so full of resolve about the not smoking...Ok Im gonna try a bit of reverse psychology..smoke as much as you like/can...feel like total s***. Cough your guts up then come back when you are ready to quit that stinking s*** we will be here for you all the way!!! You can do it..by the way how's that ankle?
Good luck to all and Im in for another 24 it will be nearly 4 months soon OMG!

RE all those old addictions and things....


The New year is just round the corner, along with great clean and sober options.



New Years Eve Oz...
