Lindsey Lohan returns to rehab and Jack Osbourne comments
Lindsey Lohan in rehab and Jack Osbourne offers support: I’m a great supporter of Jack Osbourne and what he has done to represent recovery and his own personal development. Indeed, I gave him his 1st year anniversary cake back in 2004 (in fact you can see a short film on you tube, from when […]
Various Philanthropies
This week I’ve been running around managing one of the other businesses I’m associated with http://www.gfeu.eu/ It’s an Association, which certifies food products claiming to be Gluten free and tests them to a very high specification, before acrediting them if they meet our standards (5 parts in a million for those interesed). If a […]
Squatters riot in Amsterdam
Squatting: So this morning we hear on the news that due to changes in the Dutch legislation, Squatting rights in Holland will become more restrictive. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39463891/ns/world_news-europe/ Speaking as someone who Squatted for necessity and out of lifestyle choice from the age of 16 through to 29 (when I underwent life changes in all areas […]
Cocaine Chloe from X-Factor
X-Factor: Like many other people in the UK at this time, I find myself watching X-factor (normally on recorded TV to miss the adverts) snuggled up on the sofa with the wife. If I’m honest, its all her fault that I’m drawn into the madness that is basically a karaoke show, albeit with excellent […]
Smoking – have you considered quitting?
SMOKING: I’ve been helping people stop smoking over the past week. It’s been really rewarding helping my friends beat such a debilitating habit – and I don’t say that to be condescending, but rather because I recognise the significant improvements in my own live since I stopped in September 2006 – 4 years ago. […]
Tony Blair admits to drinking away his stress
So, despite being away on travels across the USA, I am trying to maintain some momentum with my blogging. Problems arise such as spare time, wifi access and articles or scenarios that interest me enough to write about them. And then I found this… http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/tony-blair/7974820/Tony-Blair-A-Journey-PMs-drinking-habit.html It appears to quote the book “Journey” by the previous […]
Contribution
I’m in an airport-serving Hotel next to LAX for the next week. Despite the weather being gorgeous outside, I’m not going to be out sunbathing. Despite the Hotel having a Swimming Pool, I won’t get the chance to go swimming. No Venice Beach. No Hollywood Boulevard. No Chinese Kodak Theatre. No Rodeo Drive / Melrose […]
The Teen Project
Yesterday morning I had the privilege of breakfast with Lauri Burns (sorry for getting lost and arriving 45 mins late – that Lake Shore Drive sure is a long road). I first met Lauri 6 years ago, when she was the opening speaker at a convention I was attending in Palm Springs. She is […]
Legal age to drink? Is this madness?
Last night I met a guy who got sober aged 21 (he is almost 10 years sober now). This being Southern California (I was in Laguna Beach) where the legal age to drink is 21, meant he did very little drinking that was ever legal. This just goes to support what I was sharing […]
I pledge to change my unhealthy eating choices
I’ve been thinking about my personal physical health, and what it means to mean to be Sober and in recovery, and how that relates to my physical health. For those of you that follow me on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/ian.young00 (feel free to add me as a friend) or know me personally, you’ll know that I make […]
