SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: April 2015
http://southerndiscomfort2014.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 16 April 2015. Made a snap decision on Tuesday that I deserved a holiday and that now was a good time to go. Off to the Travel Agent and an hour later I was sitting here with a ticket for a 10 day cruise to 5 Pacific Islands, leaving this Sunday, and half price to boot! So there are exciting times just up ahead for me, I hope I like it! Fresh as a dasiy I shall be. Time now to decide what to take and start packing I guess. Yee Haa.bring it on!

SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: March 2015
http://southerndiscomfort2014.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 8 March 2015. Sunday, 1 March 2015. I'm so glad I had the guts to jump off the merry go round. I have gained so much more than I have lost. I have gained way better relationships with my children, my family and my friends, and I have gained a way better relationship with myself as well. Might turn it into a full blown affair!

SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: December 2014
http://southerndiscomfort2014.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 20 December 2014. ME, MYSELF AND I. A slow contentment seems to be arriving. It’s been ages since I’ve written here as I haven’t really known what to say. Just getting on with life. A rather extremely busy one at the moment. Being in the tourist industry this time of year creates a lot of pressure and I have to be well focused every day to keep on top of it. Not complaining, just making hay while the sun shines! I miss him a lot, but I chose what I needed to do for me. It is taking a wee bit of...

SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: February 2015
http://southerndiscomfort2014.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 26 February 2015. Saturday, 21 February 2015. THE BIG SHAKE - 22ND FEB 2011. I wrote this about a week after the massive earthquake that tried to destroy our city. I think today is a good day to share it, unedited, exactly how it was written. BIG SHAKE 22ND FEB. A week or so on seems about the time to start getting some of the feelings and the experience of all this down. Or else the whole memory will be fully influenced by the media who are reporting of it. Grateful for the news. We are bigger...

SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: September 2014

Sunday, 28 September 2014. CH CH CH CHANGES. And hurt. Ouch.It hurts so much to hurt him. I feel sad, empty, and a little fearful of how much I will miss him, the lovely companionship we have shared for nearly five years, and all the movies and meals and music and holidays, the many kindesses, and the love. I still love him. I'm sure he still loves me. Thursday, 18 September 2014. 60 DAYS WITHOUT A DROP OF POISON! Maybe I am just a brat! I can hear arrivals in the driveway and Mr Normal is coming over fo...

SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: HOW TO DO A CRUISE WITHOUT THE BOOZE
http://southerndiscomfort2014.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-to-do-cruise-without-booze.html
Friday, 1 May 2015. HOW TO DO A CRUISE WITHOUT THE BOOZE. Mediocre at best. However, it was still mildly entertaining. As it happened some of the shows throughout the cruise were excellent, in particular the comedy. The karaoke was hilarious and some of them were very talented. It was my way of showing myself and remembering I can be all around and amongst booze if that is what the occasion calls for, and still have a .reasonably good time, without drinking it! I had a blast of a time and I would do it a...

The only way out is through. Newer posts →. Day 99…and Life is Good(:. April 8, 2016. I wanted to write an amazing, inspiring, though provoking essay for my almost-to-100-days-post, but alas, no inspiring thoughts have shown up. Ha. Since having a goal (100 days) really seemed to help me, my next goal is 180 days, which is half a year O.O Holy hard to imagine. The old “one day at a time” cliche seems to be surprisingly effective, so I’m sticking with that. Happy Freedom Friday 🙂. March 19, 2016. But wor...

SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: May 2015
http://southerndiscomfort2014.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 May 2015. I seem to be a bit stuck with lethargy, procrastination, tiredness, laziness, self doubt, insecurity, aloneness, and a general sense of dis-ease. I think if I put words to it all it might help to lift it. I guess I will just try to force myself to do all the normal things that people do and not dwell on the flat awful scary uncomfortable way I am feeling. Fuck I'd love to get pissed! Then I would be right back to the laughing fun energetic social crazy tortured soul I used to be.

SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: October 2014
http://southerndiscomfort2014.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 21 October 2014. MRS D'S QUEENSTOWN EVENT. A bright blue and orange paraglider just literally flew past my bedroom window. Never a dull moment down here! I haven't got anything very insightful to say, in fact I am having a little trouble expressing myself of late. A bit of inner turbulence. That is to be expected I suppose, if one is taking a good hard and brutally honest look at ones self. Saturday, 11 October 2014. I have been thinking of something I learned in a course I did once on Intuitive...

SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: A WHOLE YEAR SOBER
http://southerndiscomfort2014.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-whole-year-sober.html
Sunday, 19 July 2015. A WHOLE YEAR SOBER. Here I go. I’ve finally arrived at one whole flipping year sober! Who would have ever thought! Not me, thats for sure! Looking back it has been both hard and easy at the same time. The hardest thing was the decision.that took a good 40 years! I try never to allow myself to feel disgust when I smell it on people's breath, it is just what alcohol smells like, and it’s not as bad as sardines! I remember (or not)! No one ever told me my breath stunk. Looking forward,...
