I just went for my first run since like the beginning of June. I ran every day, religiously, for the first half of the year, then i just lost my motivation. I blame that on the crappy weather, more than anything else that i have had going on.
Nixon and i only did 6 k, as opposed to the 10 or 12 k we used to do every day...but that was enough to start off with again. I am not sure what was worse - the first 3 k when Nixon was pulling my arm off and dragging me - or the last 3 when i was having to drag him.
Now, i am just organising all the kids - playing taxi and chef - and looking forward to a nice evening tonight curled up in front of a DVD.
I feel so good right now. Thank goodness Spring is just around the corner.
I was thinking just before, about how it was this weekend a year ago, that i was dodging the media, and my face was on the front of every newspaper in the country. I would like to be able to bleat on about how much has changed in the past 12 months ...but i can't.
I am STILL just as stupid when it comes to men!
I hope someone out there is learning from my mistakes, because i think it is fairly obvious that i'm not! haha

Just think how you were feeling this time a mere 7 days ago...as shitty a week as this has been for you, congratulate yourself for how far you've come! And look at you now, out running in the middle of winter, with a gorgeous canine by your side, loving (nearly) every minute of it. ;) Have an awesome evening x
The one blessing that i have taken away from this week is the realisation that not once did i think about that drug, or even that getting drunk would be a good idea. Although i do have to admit that lemon meringue pie cocktail was yummy - one was enough.
The anger and hurt that i felt shocked me, but getting wasted never once crossed my mind.
That is pretty cool, in hindsight.
You have an awesome evening too Suz, and thanks again, for your honest and positive vibes. x
I had a bit of a giggle about your last comment. How I have said that same thing to myself so many times haha. Great minds think alike hehe. Anyway hun just learn to laugh at it and move on coz there are alot more frogs than there are princes to be had in this country haha!!! Why do you think I am still single LOL.
"That is pretty cool, in hindsight."
Under-statement of the decade my dear!!
The fact that never once getting out-of-it/wasted, is a HUGE accomplishment...plenty of people out there who wouldn't consider themselves addicts, would have spent the last week pissed/stoned.
Please don't underplay your fantastic triumph...it's one to be marvelled and admired at...you can cope with any shit, you've proved it beyond all doubt.
Fantastic! Nixon will love you even more for it too. So glad to hear you are feeling better :)
