As Mr Castle mentioned on his thread yesterday , at times to reduce our triggers , we MUST put ourselves first . Cause if it alls goes peak tong , EVERYONE suffers .

Hey Shiny,

Thanks for the post I cant put into words the sense of releif I feel now that my BF knows, He was just amazing about it and if anyone understands addiction and also recovery its him, so maybe i have my own personal sponsor with benefits lol.

So T-Minus 3 days and counting, you sound like you have a few things to do before then and im sure you will tackle them in your own time, pfttt to the cleaning if your lot are anything like mine it will look like that when you come back anyway lol.

Is the case packed ? and more importantly have you checked out the Greys anatomy series that you have to catch up on, if you can cram them all in the new season starts tonight you would be up to date then 🙂

Im trying to guess your taste in music and wondering what would be on your Ipod ? Cant quite decide. ?

Anyways enough of my incessant ramblings. Hope your dad is ok and you are on the wind down to chill ocklock.

Take care enjoy

Yo,

In answer to you questions the blonde one .

No to packing , will do that Sunday morning .

Greys 8 , not on iTunes yet , so can not get it for my holiday . Like to watch the whole series in one fell swoop , loose myself init for a day or two. So I watching one programme a week would not satisfie that addiction .lol

Music ..... On my phone , I have Adele , Michael buble , queen. The proglaimers, ub40 , queen, third world , beautiful south , and Lucy Stratton from the xfactor the other week. So pretty mixed bag.

3 sleeps , till holiday . Was talking to some of the girls at work yesterday , funny really two of them said , what go to hotel , on your own , not go pub bing or clubbing , no one to talk to , are your crazy women whats the fun in that . It would be there nightmare .

One girl said , oh yes please , tell me where it is . I am so jealous .......

Each to there own , we are all a bit different I suppose , what makes us special .

Regards

Steve

best wishes

hey Shiny

Thank you for posting...you just reminded me of another one" over analysis" ...lol but like you say that can also be a strength...especiially if we were lawyers or statistical mathmeticians!

Its true too as you say about perception and also sometimes the loadiing of certain words depending on gender...ie..too opinionated if your female or single minded if your a man...lol

So like the shadow side that Carl Jung talks about..we have to walk with our shadow integrated within us but not let it run riot over our lives.

By bringing that shadow into the light it looses its power to dominate..plus if its public knowledge and announced people who are witnesses to our lives can say.."There she goes being that over anylitical,vengeful cynical,grudge bearer again " that shrinks our ego down to size. lol

I suppose thats why it has to be an honest moral inventory eh?

Well hun..hopefully you are counting down the hours..

Against Nature will be like a lost sheep so make sure you have wi wfi access as I'm not sure we can cope if he starts flailing around yearning. ...tee hee

Off back in now....

Don't forget....you deserve that hols ..

Hi Shiny,

Thank you so much for your post on my diary. Personally, I would relish a hotel room all to myself. Hot bath and rooooooom service!!! I guess it would be a bit over the top if I asked to be stowed away in one of your bags eh? Have the bestest of times my friend. You deserve it -- all that, the cake,the icing, and the cherry on top!!!! Hugs! -joan

Hi shiny

Yo,

Still 3 sleeps, me and the blonde one miscalculated , nothing new there then lol

Went to a phycic night tonight . Really did not want to go, got a cold , been up since four to do the papers .

And guess what , did she say ...............................

you will meet a tall dark stranger ,

you will come into some money unexpectly ,

You are going on a long trip .

None of that , WHY?.

Cause she was sick and did not turn up, funny really you would have thought she would of had the foresight to see it coming and canceled lol

Anyways sat with some friends , had a few laughs , so pleased that I pushed myself to go .

Right another 4 am start, so I really must get some shut eye . Plus when I wake up only 2 sleeps .......

* Cough Cough* Im cr** with numbers hence why my gambling carrer crashed and burned.

Its 2 more sleeps now cause when you read this it will be morning.

Good morning lol

Blondie xxxxxx

Morning,

I just wrote to Blondie about her stopping the count now and that life is now so much better etc etc then I come on here and realise she has only stopped counting cos she doesn't know what comes after 150 lol!! Sorry Blondie I do expect a virtual slap for that 🙂

Anyway, sorry for hijacking your thread there. Down to 2 sleeps until your break. I read your post the other day about the contrasting views toward your break. I actually sit firmly on your side of the court. Your break sounds fantastic to me. Some alone time, some time to just strip yourself down and rebuild a recharged model ready for the next phase.

You have said a couple of times lately that you don't feel firmly set in the middle right now but if you read back some much earlier posts you definitely seem in a much stronger place now, one where you seem well equipped to deal with day to day challenges. You even seem happier on the harder days. Obviously I just draw opinions from what you write and how it's written, but you certainly seem stronger these days.

Always open to a double decker if you are free it can be my treat for the week!

Hi Shiny

One sleep
