Morning all ? well since there were two threads yesterday and its Sunday here I thought I should start the Sunday one off.
Its very cold and wet here and we are expecting some snow today. So far its just been rain so I hope the weather clears and I can go for a walk today. Its my Sunday ritual.
Thanks for the personal messages this last week. I really appreciated these. I have to take the warning signs of depression seriously as in the past it has been very crippling and life threatening for me (as it is for so many). Its not just a mood disorder and I know when its different from feeling down/blah/flat ? for me at least. My family was loving and supportive without being demanding. But I got on with work and think I will be OK.
As for your anxiety Bear ? of course being AF makes a huge difference I am sure. I don?t have crippling anxiety like some people have but I was more anxious when I was drinking/trying to quit or stopping and starting in the past. I have also seen how some of the newer prescription meds have really helped folk with anxiety. Diet seems to also be important ? cutting way back on sugars/caffeine and eating more wholefoods and eating regularly. Hope your weekend goes well with the wee trip.
How?s the back Sam? Sounds like you need to rest. How's your bees?
I was thinking SL that you have done so well in staying AF but also in your attitude to it all. I recall your posts a few years back. You also post when you get those cravings and niggles and I hope that's helped ? seems to have done so.
Lav ? you send little boys away in tears!!:H What do you do to them? Well they must have had a very happy stay.
Mick ? I recall that you used to watch the Amish TV series. I watched a DVD on the telly here last week ? its about a closed fundamental Xn community in NZ called Gloriavale (also known as the Cooperites). Very strict especially with the gender roles. And dodgy goings-on with the previous leader and sexual abuse (that's not mentioned in the film but there is a book about it).
PPQP ? how?s the heat wave? I can imagine the temps get really high and its hot and dry where you are. Not here. I might need my Canadian jacket today!
Pauly ? hope you have quit the binge and are back to being AF.
Patrice ? great on the sober holiday and good luck with the rest of the weeks ? entertaining the young man. We finish school holidays in NZ today ? this was only a 2 week term break.
OK ? will wait to see if Det shows up. And SF seems busy and happy.
Have a great AF Sunday all.
