  • I had 3 good days this week then fell down to the free bar at the airport and then on the plane. Then bought a few beers to take home. Not feeling espectially good about it at the moment. It's such a woeful state of affairs that all day yesterday I could think of nothing but how to avoid the free bar. Got to be a sign something's not right...

    iT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US ESPECIALLY WHEN WE LET OUR GUARD DOWN AND FOR ME GENERALLY AROUND THE 3 DAY MARK - WELL DONE FOR PICKING UP AGAIN SO QUICKLY

    SHINY NEW DAY TODAY AND AIMING FOR AN AF WEEKEND HERE :D

  • Happy Birthday Maman. Hope you have a good one.

    Would be interesting to see how many other picies there are on here, as apparently they are particularly prone to drinking too much.

    I'm aries, blunt and to the point!;)

  • To explain myself, I kind of recently (Dec 09) took up a new job and absolutely loving it.

    At the moment it involves lots of training days and I'm learning all sorts of things.

    Here's a technique that I have been taught and I'm going to have a really good go at it this weekend.

    You have to imagine that you go to sleep one night and during the night a miracle takes place and when you awake you are in your 'ideal life'

    It's a pretty powerful thing to do as it can signpost you to where you want to be and therefore enable you to set targets etc to get there.

    Thought someone else might want to have a go. If I'm brave enough I'll post at some point what I'm going for.

    Of course some will think it's a load of old pshycobabble:p

    Sparkles - hope you have a great time.

    MoD - Good luck in your journey of discovery.

    Came out of work in tears tonight. Just found myself completely at
    odds with 4 others in a meeting and it will all be continuing on Monday!
    Normally that would have resulted in me drinking wine tonight to drown
    my sorrows but not tonight! I am trying to take action as suggested.
    I'd love a MAD weekend and go back in there feeling good about myself.
    Lots of things around to worry about and stress over but really
    starting to understand that booze does not help with that. Makes it worse
    really. Did an AF evening last night and so pleased this morning.
    I know what you mean about the 3 day thing Fay. Would love to
    crack that!

    Have a great evening and best wishes to all the MAD ones.

    PS I'm Capricorn.

    PBT -I think that's a great idea. I've heard that seeing yourself where you
    want to be is a great first step towards it.
  • Don't let the !!!!!!s grind you down DB. Hugs.
