Nothing better than a good waffle! Vase smashing aside, it sounds like you have a good relationship with your sister. I'm sure she is proud of you 🙂
Hope you're doing ok. Can't waffle too much myself as am grabbing a few minutes on here whilst the toddler sleeps. Hope to see you around soon. Take care.

Thanks all вє
Dear diary,
Can't believe one person can trigger me so much i am shaking with anger! ..bull for sure.
To come on and order others what to do or not to do is the least expected from the person who deffo knows better than some how recovery works!
Funny thing...i rarely see the person support newcomers or other souls and he seems to resurface only to stirr the s**t up or start debates...how that works? Apoling behaviour indeed.
So...my next steps...i am better than that. I am not a puppet to be ordered what to do.
I am going to step back, take a week away from this once to be supportive site and carry on with my recovery with ppl behind the sides who are honest and supportive.
That's my thoughts, no more will i let others affect me like they did today.
One day at a time

Order me! I think your overestimating the power of my words S. If I had that kind of influence on here everyone would be attending GA. It's an opinion so I'm not sure why that would make you angry. Not sure where you believe I shi t stirred & if you believe this site is better served by back slapping & blowing smoke up peoples as ses than talking about our issues then as adults we can surely agree to disagree rather than assassinating my character & throwing our toys out of the pram. Outside of my first few weeks on this site I stand by every word I've said( sorry Wayne). I have been honest, open, vulnerable, I have let myself be seen by anyone who cares to look in hope they can see themselves. I also thought I had made a friend in you. My friendship remains unconditional whether I agree with your view or not, its a shame you can't afford me the same luxury. Dan x

Hai Tigger,
Don't go to far away hai. Just try to accept where the angers stemming from.
This site has always been supportive, you know that! Many people have taken up the batton of support and you my tigger being one of. Emotions run high in us addicts, its just finding away of going with em, which, yep isnt foooking easy.
I've read some great to the point posts from you and i guess we're all guilty in not adhering to our own words.
Understand and feel the power of ' Be kind to you ', we're not designed to keep beating ourselves up, it just keeps us enslaved...
Now, look into my eyes and ....Sleep
Another day safely navigated but come close to do something silly yesterday.
Still don't get this addiction or my switching personalities. I can go happy clappy all day and then just boooommm...something triggers my memories and all "poor poor you" starts all over again. I don't say this often, but i need to keep reminding myself that I'm not a victim - i am a survivor...& i can do anything with my life, build it up...(maybe smash few bricks in the process) but rebuilt it once again..its like a development plan i keep changing my mind on lol.. My recovery is not a straightforward process, however i fully aknowledge that i don't help myself either. The heated reactions to the world can be avoided by simply taking a deep breath, step back, reassessing emotions and putting positive actions for the road ahead.
That's me...now...where are ya V, cause i need my hypnotherapy to visit zzzzzzzzzz land :-)))))
Stay safe all,.
One step at a time

Hey you! Sounds like there's been a lot of thinking and self analysis going on. I've read that book too (the chimpanzee paradox). It was interesting and I recognised a bit of myself in it. IMHO it's good to try to understand where we're coming from in our actions. I do love a bit of analysis 🙂
You mentioned your course. Is that for the volunteering? How's it going?
Unfortunately, I can no longer go by the name of Mrs. Galaxy. I'm on a 30 day sugar ban 🙁 no carbs, alcohol or dairy either 🙁 🙁 If I wasn't depressed before I started it I will be by the time it's finished!!
KOKO and don't do anything silly

Good to hear the training is going well. Difficult to combine it with work, sleep and general life stuff but it sounds interesting and it's always good to stretch those brain cells. Just remember, lots of relaxation and deep breathing when you get the time to alleviate any stress. And chocolate, of course, as I've read that's a cure for everything 🙂
Hope you have a great weekend.
Be proud girl-you're doing it too!

A picnic, topic or starbar are the real key to happiness. ... Don't get confused on the kit cats, Mars bar or twix's these are just cunning bars of chocolate.
Go with the flow. Be the best you can every day and thats the simplicity we need.
Face up to you Sandra....you'll be surprised I think when you realise your a nice person after all....
Paul, sometimes Pablo, sometimes fool, but who ever I be I believe in you.
ps..... you probably won't like this. But keep the barrier up. Rats are not nice creatures but frogs are worse, there pretty slimy with bulging eyes and have a tendency of jumping under people's skin ....
A Ripple...how could you do that to me? That's cruel, really cruel! And what does this V person know about chocolate...picnics, topics, starbars?? FFS...they've got fruit in!! Far too healthy. It has to be Galaxy. In a bar, as a ripple, as a hot chocolate. Think it's dawning on me why I need this diet of mine so much 🙂
BPGYDI 🙂

That's it, you've gone too far now...8 bars??!! I'm not talking to you anymore 🙁
