It's time to stop, dammit: I just have a bad week sometimes
http://thedrinkisnothelping.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-just-have-bad-week-sometimes.html
It's time to stop, dammit. The crazy idea of giving up the drink and still enjoying my life. Saturday, 20 June 2015. I just have a bad week sometimes. I've noticed I have these bad weeks. About one in four. Is it PMT? I'm not sure. But I have these weeks where I beat myself so badly, and lose motivation for all that is good. I'm trying to learn what to do with these weeks. Do I just ride them out? Let them be and drift through them (what's a week without running huh? Or should I somehow act? 20 Golden We...

It's time to stop, dammit. The crazy idea of giving up the drink and still enjoying my life. Wednesday, 27 May 2015. This is a 20 week experiment. If there is no significant benefits of from living this way, I will simply cease. I am interested however to see. I will report my progress here. :). Sunday, 24 May 2015. 317 days sober - and time to start blogging again. 317 days in. Who would have thought it! I stopped blogging for no real reason except that the wonderful Living Sober. For my whole adult lif...

It's time to stop, dammit: About me
http://thedrinkisnothelping.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
It's time to stop, dammit. The crazy idea of giving up the drink and still enjoying my life. 44 years old, successful in business and life, one child and two cats. Drank since I was 15 years old, escalating badly in my 20's (dangerously so), subsiding a tiny bit in my 30's, and now in my 40's reasonably "controlled". Most of the time anyway. This is my blog. This is my journey. 20 July 2014 at 14:53. 22 July 2014 at 10:15. 27 July 2014 at 15:11. Yay to us,we can do it and one day find fun again.xx.

It's time to stop, dammit: My mission statement
http://thedrinkisnothelping.blogspot.com/2014/10/my-mission-statement.html
It's time to stop, dammit. The crazy idea of giving up the drink and still enjoying my life. Monday, 13 October 2014. It's been a couple of weeks I know, but I've been busy. Busy having a wonderful trip snowboarding with my daughter, busy on Living Sober. Busy with our gorgeous wee nephew, and yes, like normal - busy back at work. But, while I was away with my daughter I started to do some really deep thinking about what I want from my life. DRAFT) MISSION STATEMENT FOR MY LIFE. As an employee - a star.

Who would have thought it! I was so terrified when I started this, didn't know how I'd make it . but I have got this far. Wow. I still get scared, but not so often, and not the terror!

It's time to stop, dammit. The crazy idea of giving up the drink and still enjoying my life. Thursday, 31 July 2014. Day 19 - Be kind to yourself. I am tired tonight, a little sad and low. And you know what? I don't think it's related to drinking or particularly abnormal. It just "is". I work incredibly hard, don't get many breaks, and sometimes its just tough. And that's OK. Good night my friends. Whatever space you are in, be kind to yourselves. xx. Wednesday, 30 July 2014. Fuck I'm slow. I don't k...

It's time to stop, dammit: I don't want to be an addict
http://thedrinkisnothelping.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-dont-want-to-be-addict.html
It's time to stop, dammit. The crazy idea of giving up the drink and still enjoying my life. Wednesday, 3 June 2015. I don't want to be an addict. Day three into giving up coffee has reminded me very soundly that I do not want to be addicted. To anything. 327 days sober, which is the most important thing - but the last few days of headaches, severe grumpiness, and flu like symptoms, has shown me that I really don't want to filter too much crap through my body at all. I want to just be free of it all.

It's time to stop, dammit. The crazy idea of giving up the drink and still enjoying my life. Saturday, 30 August 2014. Finding a new balance. I sit down this morning to write, and I feel that I don't have anything new or interesting to say really. I have a terrible cold (and am being very whiney about it), am working my ass off, and haven't been for a run or cycle in two weeks, which makes me very very grumpy. I've had a couple of pink cloud days (where's the rest of those fuckers? Then: Drink dulled it.
