Reasons to be cheerful!

I have internet.

Awesome!

Oh dear. Did some minion do something to displease Your Divine Greyness?  

Yes.  The Asmo does get some nasty depressions around this time of year, so He's prohibiting cheeriness.

Asmo, have you tried a light box? Only anecdotal evidence, but it made an amazing difference to my friend who also used to get depressions in the winter.  I know a happy Asmo might destroy your Asmo- cool, but if you don't rate the idea of a ightbox, you will still keep talking to us won't you - can't think of any better therapy.

Winter is not the problem. I dislike the cold, but do enjoy the dark.

It's not one's feelings toward darkness that matter.  I far prefer nighttime.  It's that there are things in sunlight that we need and do not get when days are so short (and moreso if it's cold and you're covered in clothing).  Most notably vitamin D.  A good vit D supplement with calcium does wonders for my anxiety.

I echo that, vitamin D with calcium works wonders.

Today marks my 365th day of sobriety, one full year...so everyone here gets a day off to celebrate (Your choice of day with pay of course, just have your bosses contact me to arrange).

And have some pie (I prefer Pie over Cake, I mean really is there any comparison between the two?)

I don't miss the alcohol, or the need to drink, but I do miss the taste of good beer.

Like this picture here it is so pleasing to the eye isn't it? And you don't even have to guess that it's a Guinness either, I mean nothing pours like a Guinness, amirite folks?

Anyway, I'm not looking for a bunch of congratulations or pats on the back, really only want to this share this with my friends here at HAF who have made me feel so welcome over a good portion of this year, thanks and if we ever meet up the first round is on me. (I'll just have coffee, or god-forbid some Earl Grey)

[Buddy]

You may not be asking for a pat on the back, but I'm giving you one anyway because you deserve it. Congratulations!

I would like to congratulate you as well, one year sober is a huge deal. Well done, Bruno! 

[Firebird]

Congrats Bruno, that's quite the accomplishment. Been a pleasure having you here.

[Guardian85]

I could look at that .gif all day.... 

[Tank]

Well done Bruno. It was a great day when you wandered in!

[Magdalena]

You're great Bruno,    and so easy to get along with. (Except on Mondays.)
