Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Hi, Army. I suggested a book in the Newbies Nest yesterday and reread it for the third time last night. Each reading brings new insights. I wish I had known about it 5 years ago - it likely would have helped me make not quitting less of an agonizing big hairy deal. It really fits in with some of the ideas in the article Running Courage suggested yesterday. Anyway, for anyone interested in a quick and hopefully helpful read: Death Wish: The Path through Addiction to a Glorious Life: Steve Chandler: 9781625116: Amazon.com: Books

Good morning army, day 22 and still trucking! I like the vibe here and reading old posts in all the forums. So much good stuff. Keep on trucking everyone and have a great day!

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Thanks NS. I'll get it for young Satz. Anything you recommend is worth a look :hug:
He has read a stack of books.
All on his locker using 'The big Book' as a book-end

Russell Brand is someone I like - nuts - but I like him. Young Satz also likes him and has read his latest book 3 times.
Anyone read this ?
Recovery by Russell Brand

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

NS checked the pile - it's there. I've dug it out.
I must have bought it last time you recommended it. September 2016 is the date I gave it to him.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Oh right! I know nothing of those - did take antabuse a few times on previous quits but nothing else - I'm sure there's still some meds people around the boards tho

[anon]

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Did baclofen but nothing else. Nothing worked for me until I said no and just told myself that I could not have that first one. However, do anything that works for you!

Morning all.

Well done Tony.

Welcome Seeker.

How are you doing RC?

So far so good Tabbers. Been at school all day - and boy was a welcome thought not to have had to deal with even the mutest guilt if i'd had a single beer last night. With 15mins before first class, told that I was covering a class I don;t teach as the their teacher's dad had died, and then told that another teacher in the school was quitting so suddenly the HT is having to juggle all her staff to ensure all classes are covered. Also means I have more prep. But so be it. Nice to be in the work routine. That'll wear off by Wednesday no doubt

Good afternoon Army. Great news Tony just keep it going. Hope all is ok RC?
Off to Liverpool for another birthday lunch. Very cold here -2 but bright and sunny. Love this sort of weather!

Me too - I was out for a quick run this morning with the torch and the air was so clean. Despite the cold, the blue skies make up for it. It's when it's cold and driech and dark and snarly that I wished I lived a little further south. Like NZ.

Will look this up NS.
