Oh My God!!! I cannot believe I haven’t posted anything since September-where have I been you may well ask.
Well, I’m still sober and attending meetings, still having a challenging time financially but generally it’s all good.
Even the finances are on the up.
I run a couple of other websites which have been taking up a lot of my time lately, but I hope to be posting more here in the not too distant future….

I’ve also recently been trying to help an old friend to get sober, with limited success. Its been quite a hard lesson for me as he genuinely seems to want to stop drinking but is having a hard time of it. Maybe he’s never going to get it and I’ll just have to accept that.

I’m away from home at the moment and haven’t been to AA for a couple of weeks,  but as soon as I’m back I’ll be getting to a meeting and hopefully taking my friend with me.

If you’re in the same boat as my pal and struggling with alcohol, or any other addiction, I’ve recently read a great book that may help:

No Big Deal by John Coats – It’s probably the best book on recovery from addictions I have read – I’ll post a link to it when I get home but you can get it now from  Ye Olde Exalky’s Shoppe for around £7.99

Be well

I KNOW I really ought to post more often…..

I’ve been more than a bit wrapped up in the trials of life in general lately-but I’m still sober and grateful to be so

I should have more time to post some stuff here in the near future, in the meantime here’s a thought from Abraham:

“A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don’t allow the happy moment, because they’re so busy trying to get a happy life.”

Be well

Hi again,

Recently I was lucky enough to celebrate my third year without a drink. I’m visiting  the Czech Republic and managed to get to a meeting for my big day – even managed to share in my broken “survivors guide” Czech !!

But I have to remember that it really is One day at a time, and while I’m getting all smug about my sobriety, my alcoholism is out in the car park doing push-ups and getting ready to kick my head in.

I got here by listening to, and following some of, the suggestions made to me by various members of AA, and those in it’s literature. I have no doubt whatsoever that without this help I would be either dead or under lock and key.

Instead I have my sobriety, my spirituality, my family and a good life-not without problems, but I am able to deal with them.

Thank You  Alcoholics Anonymous

Hi,
I hope you had a good Valentine’s Day, but even if you didn’t, have a look at this great video from www.myGenie.tv

Happy Thoughts,
Be Well

I’ve been really busy since getting home from me hol’s, loads at work, going to meetings, and loads of research and watching movies to post here
As for my experiences with EFT, I’ve been trying it out on alsorts-with some success!
Today I’ve been using it to soothe a f#%*ing EVIL toothache with AMAZING success!!
And I’m feeling pretty grateful about life in general-maybe I’m on an “EFT Pink Cloud”, so I think more serious investigation is required ;-D
Happy Thoughts
