Yes, in general, two-three nights sounds perfect. I'm slowing down so "one night" is problematic. See how having a guest goes. I'll likely visit you when I can also go to Prachuap Kiri Khan so please tell me how that visit goes.
Hey Dr Gonzo. Sounds like you're doing well. Compared to the alternative, I think a little weight gain might be a small price to pay.
Every NA and AA meeting I've ever been to has featured candy or pastries of some kind. I'm pretty sure it just goes with the territory. The last time I used was a pretty heavy relapse in 2018 but I've been clean since then. No drinking or drugging. MAYBE a joint once or twice a year. I stayed pretty heavy for the first couple years of sobriety.
Even today, I have a severe sweet tooth. I can't sleep without a belly full of something sweet. I've found that my body doesn't mind the sugar in peanut butter and milk. I can gorge myself and still stay lean.
I'm glad you and Nada found each other. I look forward to your adventures together.
I have made great progress on my trip. Leave on the 19th here; arrive on the 21st in Kuala Lumpur. I will leave Penang on the 1st for a short flight to Phuket, stay 2 days then fly to Udon Thani... avoiding Bangkok. I'll be in Ayutthaya on the 15-17th of December. I may have time to see you before or after. I also have no plans for January yet.
Pan is driving my bonkers; but, I'm slowly understanding that much of it is cultural and how he uses language.
As for HOCD... some of us are just who we are. I've always been left-handed. That wasn't always acceptable and many suffered from the labels.
I remind Pan that he's handsome just the way he is. I'll repeat that until he accepts that.
I've been writing a lot, so the blog is suffering somewhat. There are only so many hours in a day, and by the time I train, which is numero uno in my recovery, write creatively, answer emails, eat and sleep, there isn't a whole lot of time left for blogging.
I can report that life is good. I feel healthy, with only the occasional pangs of want to use drugs. These cravings pass quickly, and I have come to terms with the fact that they will likely always be there at certain times. I know that if I delay for only a short while, they disappear, and I can then get on with this normality I have come to enjoy so much.
What else can I say...I have a lot to look forward to and barring any unforeseen circumstances that are out of my control, I am on the right track to live a long and happy life.
