Hi again,
and sorry for the lack of post’s of late – I’m still flat out at work, late shift and so not much family time, meetings, or anything else
But actually I’m grateful to be sober and feeling pretty good ;-D
Seems to me I’ve not mentioned anything about drinking for ages.
If you’ve got a problem with alcohol, or anything else for that matter, and you’ve just found this blog, stick around. Have a look at some of the older posts, click on some of the movies and links.
If alcohol is your problem, check out AA. Going to meetings is the main thing that has consistently kept me away from a drink, and allowed me to learn to change my life.
As for the rest, this is my way of relating to “a power greater than myself”, and the tools and ideas that are helping in my recovery, and in every aspect of my life today.
EFT (emotional freedom technique) is nothing short of amazing. A problem I have in recovery is that I have no memory of huge chunks of my past, because I spent a lot of time in “blackout”. Even before the alchohol and drugs, my “ism” had blocked out huge chunks of my childhood memory…
I am finding that as I treat a particular general area with EFT, for example “my general moodiness”, that the more specific thought/cause comes to mind. Then I treat that with EFT, and so on.
This stuff is really working for me, hopefully it can help you too.
stay tuned, the late shift is finishing soon so I’ll be posting more often ;-D
I’ve made a few tweaks to the blog, so if you’ve been here before have a good look, there’s lots of new stuff. Please leave a comment if you have time, it’s gettin’ lonely here in blogland lol.
Here’s a great movie to start your day, you may have seen it before but it’ll do you no harm ….
Be well,
Happy Thoughts

Hi Frans,
Good to see someone's looking! Thanks for the kind words, I put loads of work into this thing so it's nice to hear.
I had my last drink on 18/08/06 , but I count my "sobriety day" as my first AA meeting, on 20/08/06
Anyway, a very wise man I knew, when asked how long he had been sober(10yrs+), was fond of replying, "All Day!"
