The bathroom key....

hello to all,

I haven't posted in a while and hope that Guard wont deactivate my account and user-name due to inactivity 

I'm feeling a little weak and blue here and realize that a "post' will do me good. (so would some physical exercise but posting on GYE is less caloric expenditure so i will stick to "the typing exercise;) )

the summer really does something to my spirits, and summer Sundays are the absolute worst. im almost at the point where i will even look for a chavrusa  :D :D

does any one else here experience the "Sunday Summer Blues"?

how do you deal with it?

Kosher Isle http://www.guardureyes.com/GUE/Time/time.asp is good but needs updating - especially the clean books section - How many times can i read Sherlock Holmes?

if anyone has any ideas and suggestion for classic clean books (or any other updates  please respond to me and too "the Guard"

Love to all

Noorah the littlest of the house of Amram

Humility is the answer to all my problems, so is there any way you can approach this one with even more humility? Small steps, small expectations, small projects....hatzlocha...... and we love Noora!

Dearest Chevra all the holy warriors on GYE-

Need to share:
Complacency+boredom+burnout = absolute disaster
Maybe not right away but the end result is guaranteed
Here i am over a year on the WOH - and what does the jerk do - he tries to bypass his filter > > > >
an absuloute utter MORON
Thank you Hashem for opening up my eyes to this stupid game of Russian roulette that i began to play Thank You Hashem a million times!!!!!!!!!!

I must never ever forget the yh/addiction - call it what you want - is just waiting for me get complacent, to get smug, to forget that no matter how many "days" clean i have ...CAUSE 

THE ONLY DAY THAT REALLY COUNTS IS TODAY

and TODAY IS ALWAYS DAY NUMBER ONE!!!!

LOVE TO ALL

a very humble

Noora,

Good to have you back.

You hit the nail on the head. "Complacency+boredom+burnout = absolute disaster :(Maybe not right away but the end result is guaranteed "


If we can stay focused on today.....

As you say...

We wont let our self start to play..



Since addicts we are...

never step in to the bar..



only one drink ....

we think......


Before we know it- we're back in the clutter....

um...How did we get in to the gutter.....


Always remember

TODAY- is only ONE DAY


Thanks for Screaming fire.... Noora.

Great lesson for us all.

Thanks noorah.
It is great to see such people like yourself that was able to protect yourself.  Unfortunately, there is no such thing as one quick look and lets get back to sobriety.

Keep on trucking, man.

Try Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. It is a trilogy. Perfectly clean. Except I think the 4th book he writes, as a preface to one of the chapters, that "people complain that he writes too clean, so this chapter is.... ahem, and you can perfectly skip it since it has nothing to do with the plot..."

check out James Herriott as well. clean as far as i remember and hilarious and well-written. oh, and the book is thick enough to double as a support for height-challenged drivers so it should keep you going a bit.
