10 Things Everyone in their early 40s should know
https://twistedscott.wordpress.com/2014/12/16/10-things-everyone-in-their-early-40s-should-know
10 Things Everyone in their early 40s should know. I was inspired to write this after reading a blog post yesterday by the amazingly talented photographer Rosie Hardy. Aimed at young women, the blog post had lots of relevant and inspirational words of wisdom for us all and was very well written. I decided it was time to mix things up a bit…. 10 Things EVERYONE hitting 40 should know. 1) Life ain’t over. Don’t look at it as “all downhill from here”! 2) Use your wisdom. Let’s look at those stages: KN...

The rewards.

Goodness, gracious me. With only a meagre 2 days before this journey reaches it’s climactic apogee, I decided to treat myself to something synonymous with where it all began – oh yes, my friends, I bought some new running shoes (and a hat, and some socks)! 8230;and part of the reason for this, as well as rewarding my efforts, is this…. I’ve signed up for a freakin’ marathon! A marathon. A marathon for crying out loud! Who could’ve thought turning 40 would be so much fun! Life to The Full. You are comment...

Hug | gracehousestories

The road to change leads through grace. February 8, 2015. It started with a hug. After completing an interview for residency at the Grace House, Alice asked me for a hug. She didn’t ask if she was accepted. She just wanted a hug. I have always been a bit awkward doling out hugs. To me. . . I have to know you. I have to like you. You have to. She just kept doing it. After a very successful stay, Alice gave her notice. She was moving out. The sober house had met its purpose and now she was ready to...Febru...

The Day Bowie Died
https://twistedscott.wordpress.com/2016/01/11/the-day-bowie-died
The Day Bowie Died. It got me thinking of all those arguments and self-loathing that happen as a result of drinking. The repercussions of drinking are as individual as the reasons why people drink in the first place, but far more negative. How many times have you heard “My hangover was so brilliant. I felt alive and so full of beans that I had the most productive day at work.”? I guess never. A good night out or a quiet night in needn’t be fuelled by drinking. RIP David Bowie (1947-2016).

In which I get served Booze. | We Agnostics
https://dontcallmeanonbeliever.wordpress.com/2015/02/17/in-which-i-get-served-booze
How to find god when you don't know what you're looking for. Fourth Step-True/Not True (5). One Day at a Time (50). Tired of treading water. Taking a new path. Are You Finished Yet? Lost to the Dark. February 17, 2015. In which I get served Booze. One Day at a Time. So the craziest thing happened. I was out to dinner with my coworkers following a huge auction, as is tradition. I ordered a ginger beer which, in my part of the world, is a spicy, sugary, NON-ALCOHOLIC drink. It arrived with a lemon on it.

February 2015 – Stop Wineing Start Living
https://stopwineingstartliving.wordpress.com/2015/02
Stop Wineing Start Living. Learning to live without alcohol. Missing the good old days…. February 28, 2015. And my heart sunk. Of course I would love to be normal and be able to get drinks with a new friend. Of course I would love to have fun/let loose with a co-worker who I adore. I feel like an outcast. How boring am I? I was amazed how quickly we accomplished tasks! I am at a loss. Sorry for the downer post- I just had to express my emotions to someone. February 23, 2015. February 23, 2015. For the mo...

Day 58 – Stop Wineing Start Living
https://stopwineingstartliving.wordpress.com/2015/02/21/day-58
Stop Wineing Start Living. Learning to live without alcohol. February 21, 2015. You know you are in a good place when you have to check your tracker to see what day you are on day 58 for me here! I’m giving myself permission to be a hermit and do whatever I feel like doing! The other day I was cooking dinner with my husband and I remember we were joking around about something, maybe a song lyric (I can’t quite remember)? To this point it has just been myself saying this you know, at meetings and internal...

Will 2015 be good for you? After nearly completing my 365 days of sobriety (only 23 days / 552 hours left to go! I am curious about you.

Have you been reading my blog for ideas on how you too could give up alcohol in 2015 and take the first steps to an all new you? ENHANCED WORK AND HOME LIFE.

And so to 2015…
https://twistedscott.wordpress.com/2014/12/30/and-so-to-2015/comment-page-1
And so to 2015…. Here is my ambitious list of challenges for 2015. You will notice that I have not added the booze. What? Don’t panic. It’s no longer a challenge and therefore it is not on the list! It will be, however, very much a part of my 2015 regime. Some of these challenges are tough and require a lot of planning and even luck, and some are almost impossible but I am going to try my best! 1) Learn French language to confident level. 2) Get down to 168lbs in weight. 4) Run a marathon. Number 10 R...
