Compain?! Complain???!! You wanna see me in traffic Pauly. Mr ROAD RAGE. But only yelling to myself inside the car, i don't eyeball others. it has gotten to the stage where i give the finger to traffic but to no-one in particular though. I'd better watch that! Some examples from me.......'oh good one mate! c'mon down idiot number 1!' What are you doing fool? you're doing 40 in a 60 k zone....move it!' 'Oh gr8. look at this moron! There is absolutely NO reason to be slowing down or stopping. The way is clear ahead.....move it asshole!' I just talk to myself, but I love it. lol.

A Gratitude list and turning our thoughts that way everyday is a great idea i reckon. Sounds good buddy. An attitude of gratitude.

Mr.G you sound like me driving haha

Hey Pauly!

I think maybe you should write in your gratitude book that you have been at MWO five years and MOST of the time you have been sober!

You live in a place that makes sobriety VERY hard to maintain and with a partner that doesn't take your sobriety very seriously. Hell gf you are a total star!

For 25 years I drank nearly EVERY day with only 1 and 2 day enforced breaks every so often.

YOU have YEARS of nearly total sobriety and you keep on keeping on.

Whinge away!

Whatever it takes!

Mr G you forgot the best one - when they don't take off as soon as the light changes. 'C'mon Mate - It's not going to get any F***kin' greener!'

[Mr Vervill]

Vent on, Ramble on, Pauly! Strength to you.

Or as the urban myth does the rounds in Dublin -- taxi driver gets out of his car and goes to the woman in the car in front of him who's reluctant to get going - in his best Dublin accent 'any particular shade of green yer waitin for missus?' -- love that one ;-)

( but men are such impatient f*ckers )
(sorry men)

Yeah Sats and yis do need time to check the lippy, we understand. Signed The Men haha..

How are you doing Pauly?

[paulywogg]

Do OK,still tired for some reason which is starting to piss me off! Was thinking about Kuyas post and it is true I've been here 5 years and have been sober most of the time,I want to be sober all the time though also true that I dont have much support from my family,thats why I decided long ago to quit for myself not them,I just gotta stop letting myself down,its really hard though when I'm having that urge to not have a hubs who tries to talk you out of it,"just take it easy" is only a green light to rush to the gas station and buy my shitty beer! Its like I got permission to be a fool,the Soundgarden singer who committed suicide this week struggled with addiction in the past,I read an interview with him and he said you have to want to not drink/do drugs or you'll keep doing them til you die and that's the absolute truth,can't half-assedly "want" it you hafta want it,WANT it!

Hey pauly, nice post, thank you!

[Lost Soul]

It's good to see you back Pauly missing Chris Cornell already - he was an awesome artist x
I get the complaining crap - I only wish it was socially acceptable to carry a wet fish in my handbag for slapping annoying people!!!
Take care of yourself x
