Is it a self fullfilling expectation? I'm running up to my soberversary and find I'm getting petulant (That's mardy), demanding, critical, all this negative vibe man!

It happened like this last year and the year before and the year before that.

I've taken a week off work, but need to get busy. It's just turned 10 a.m. Been up since 6 and done shag all but have a shower and a shave so far. I want to clean my house, do my washing and maybe take an old settee to the dump today.

Would someone Please kick me up the arse and get me going!

Feeling damnably ugrateful - is this as good as it gets?

Answers self - of course not y'pillock. Look at where you were when you were boozing. See how much better it is?

I need to get the cart back on the wheels. Get the gratitude pot bubbling. Start now.
What are you grateful for today.

Well, I woke up breathing and really it just keeps getting better. Only 9 hours to a meeting. Go and start a dinner - lamb tagine - get the washing in the machine and clean one room to start. As in I got fod in the cupboard, more than one set of clothes, a machine to wash 'em in and more than one room in the house, shit, I got a house!

Thanks fer listening.
