I was yapping with a friend from ARG (again) and the topic of transferrence came up. I am addicted to addictions--I can be addicted to anything, or so it would seem! Nicotine, caffeine, ice cream, Maurene, Maxine, Demerol, Alcohol, f***itol, you name it. I can get addicted to it! And HAVE been!
Now I'm trying to be aware of the Mood Altering Drugs and substances I put in my body. Of course, when eating a chicken sandwich can send me over the edge with MSG, a guy's gotta have SOME window, huh?
What do you do to be vigilant?
HA Skg!!! LOLOL....
Well to be vigilant I drink 42 pots of coffee a day and sit on my porch and throw rocks at the passersby! LOLOL...
Caffeine, Nicotine, Food, and on occasion....the internet and this board.
Who's Maxine? :-)

I THINK I'm getting a little better at recognising the feelings associated with wonky thinking....so something gently nudges me and I can ask myself "why am I doing/wanting this right now?" Even - why am I going back on ARG so soon? what PART of myself am I acting from right now? The best me I'm capable of being today, this very moment....or from some other part of me, some part that wants me immersed in the rest of the world and/or rubbish so that I no longer care about MY life and the flowers and the birds and my serenity and lasting joy?....does that make sense to anyone else?
I don't interrogate myself all the time, that's not what I'm saying....I'm saying I'm getting better at listening to the inner feelings about the quality of my time on this Earth....
Baby steps, only baby steps...

LOL
Honesty with myself and others, which includes telling on myself when I am feeling antsy.
Valarie...you crack me up! Can I come and have a cup of coffee with you? Sounds like you may have a cup to spare. :)

LOLOLOL....I know violence isn't the answer. I am moving a bit off topic here but doesn't anyone else ever wanna kick someone's arse? Nothing too serious but for an example: Someone writing a check in front of you in a line at the market??? WTH??? I didn't even know people still wrote checks. Just a quick slap to the back of the head would do it for me. For all you people writing checks out there.....this is directed at you. Get a debit card. LOLOL
Just jokes people. Not meant to be taken serious. :-)
Oh yeah....forgot another one of my addictions. ....TV and TIVO.

I wanna throw rocks I wanna I wanna lol
Throw rocks? .....jeez....only in the America.
Over here in Euroland they've banned throwing custard pies on Health and Safety grounds....pubs can get a 24 hours a day licence though.
Ain't THAT wonky thinking....lol
Don't you have "wonky"? lol...as for Willy Wonka, I love Johnny Depp but the remake isn't a patch on the original. And Gene Wilder was great.

Cool post Skg
I was thinking about this today as well how the issue now is not my drinking BUT the addiction i have to some of my old habits and thoughts that drinking was a good excuse to have and blame some of these habits on
Most definately food and coffee are my stress indicator and that is getting better and my idea of coffee is instant and weak so thats why i drink a sh@t load a day and then its not really about the coffee but the sugar, so now cutting the sugar out
The biggest problem i had after booze was desire and all the mixed up ideas i had with my wants/love/sex etc and they are all linked together because at the time i didnt really know they were seperate as in early recovery i thought intimate relationships meant sex and in my drinking days a smile meant you were up for it....god im glad im sober:)
As a few of the woman know on these boards know i can was in the earlier days of my posting and emailing guite good at being suggestive in a nice way and fishing for a confirmation to continue, because at the time there was still a part of me that was needing stimulation (no jokes about sheep Skg LMAO)
I still have to watch that part of my life because now i am sober the ball game is easier BUT the results if they were to become real cannot be blamed on anything now except me
Always remember alcohol is cunning, baffling and powerfull even if you dont drink it might be about what you may do that makes you want to drink that is why these posts are all inter linked because these moments are when WHATEVER becomes really important:)
light and love Zac ( by the way thats unconditional love LMAO)
