Oh yes oh Shiny one,

You came you saw you conquered today!

Made the forum that little bit brighter with the big pics floating around the diaries!

I was just listening to a song and I guess if we look deep enough we can make the lyrics fit anything but this one made me think of gambling (the power of addiction) not sure why!

A prism with an intellect

You show your light selectively

You stole my glow, a seasoned thief

The blacks of my eyes are turning into opals

Today, I'll walk

There's nothing here left for me but empty promises

And the thought of all the things

I'm never getting back

You came, you saw, you conquered everyone

And I'm left here bleeding, what went wrong?

Yeah, I'm down but not out, and far from done

Beware Criminal

Have a nice Evening!

Yo,,

I have been thinking this morning that I wanted to write something about a lesson I learnt in rehab.

My reason for this is that I have had a situation arise at home/ work that has made me look to what I learnt there to sort out how I feel / deal with it. I can not go into details why I have had to do this because as you know my amoninity is important to me , but following a 6am text this morning I have had to dig deep to decide how I will cope with the latest drama in my life.

As a child my mum was very much into what people thought of you. I remember all us children cleaning , polishing , hovering the house within an inch of its life ,and then when her guest turned up. She would say " you have take us as you find us"

To this day that makes me chuckle, do not get me wrong she was a good mum just too worried about the Jonies so to speak.

So I went through my childhood putting on a front believing if you did not match what was mistakenly the expectations you put upon yourself you would drop in people's expectations. At work particularly I give tooo much, never wanting people to think that I am less than I am.

So back to rehab , my very intuitive councillor picked up on this. And explained to me you can not wipe away the past by one action. For example you have been a best friend to someone for years and years and forget there birthday, they do not think ok that's it , my BF has let me down sooooo much i will have nothing to do with them again .Cause your history counts . The work , the time , the effort you have put in , one little thing goes against you which may not even be your fault , does not mean that you are now seen as the worste friend in the world.

I do not know if this helps anyone , or even if it makes sense to who ever is reading this. But I need to stay with these thoughts today , one I need to relise that there are things I have no contoll of. Two , that who the f******k cares what people think. ( although I do thanks for that mum) and 3 must NOT obsess on something which at the end of the day will blow over in a day or two , if my reputation suffers from it , it will be short lived , cause ultimately I will still be the same person I was yesterday or the day before , or the day before .

So dear reader confused , sorry , really I hope by writing this down , it would help me find the way through , the mine field that is my thought process this morning.

Anyway , it will not be sending me through the doors of the local bookies that's for sure. That is one mine I will not be stepping on, cause we all know what will happen, and progress I have made in this last recovery journey will be blown to smithereens . No way mateeeee !!!!
