Another period of insomnia, I do hope it doesn’t last many more days its draining me.
Here’s a Painting I did of my eyes at 5am yesterday morning.
Not being a believer in lame resolutions I never would complete, like going to the Gym, we’re going for a frivolous one instead this year, Eat More Jelly (Jell-o in the U.S.)
Made pinapple Jelly with the youngest this NY eve and was as good as I remembered it from Childhood parties and also baked bread for the first time in probably 18 years. Turns out I’m a pretty good baker even if I do say so myself.
Happy new year to all those fellow recovering drunks out there, I have found post Xmas/New Years can be a tricky time, particularly in the early days after the highs and lows of Christmas, take care and keep safe.

Wishing everyone a very happy and sober Christmas and if your struggling with it all that’s ok, just make sure its a safe one. I went to a meeting at some point during Christmas day for the my first 7 or so sober Christmas’s and they got easier and far more fun as time’s gone on.

I may have no vote in Tuesdays election, but everyone will be effected by Tuesday’s US vote. I’m also a whore for a rather large US company to pay my bills.
We’ve had a Dry Drunk running the US for the past 8 years which has drawn the UK into two ‘Energy wars’ in Iraq and Afghanistan, if there were no Oil or Gas pipelines in these countries would we be there?
The Democrats have a recent history of JFK, Carter and Clinton, not perfect but beat the hell out of the Nixons, Reagons and Bush’s of this world. Can you imagine another dose of Bush in McCain or even worse still following the possible premature demise of McCain the prospect of Palin in the Whitehouse. This planet would officialy be more F**ked than it is already.
AA has no opinion on politics, but I do This is not a great political argument on my behalf but a 3am insomniatic rant.

Another calender year not drunk, another sober birthday, another sober AA birthday another sober Xmas and another sober New years eve.
2007′s highlight was certainly falling in love my my lovely Girlfriend and getting to know her two girls, getting a Happy Christmas Dad card from the youngest made me blub a little.
Had a fantastic Xmas with C and the Girls, bought then built a massive tree which was loaded with decorations and overflowing underneath with presents for everyone. Even secured the much in demand Nintendo Wii although resorted to throwing money at that problem on ebay to get it and suffering from aching arms from playing too much tennis.
No idea what 2008 will bring, only hope its as good as 2007, if I start making too many plans for my life God develops a sense of humour and comes up with different ones for me, though to be fair so far his plans have worked out far better than mine.
Happy New year to anyone coming across this little site, my it be a safe one and for those in the fellowship of AA a sober one.
