Sorry to hear about your injury Fub. Way to go about the awareness of the trigger and the plan around it. Have fun at golf VC... you deserve it. I've been trying to make a conscience effort, difficult at times, to enjoy everyday-from the stressors at work to the mundane. Refusing to let negative thoughts creep in... have to be aware and on guard to nix them before they grab hold and make a home. This gift of life is so fleeting, I don't want to have the negative attitude that seems to have robbed me of so much joy in the past. It's been easier to do the last several months since sobriety. In retrospect I seemed to have been a pretty angry person with a quick temper and sharp tongue. Seems to be working, have had people around me say I've mellowed and appear happier... and for the most part I am. Thank you classmates, I give you and SR all the credit. | ||

Very funny guys. Maybe VC is right about working on my butt. It may be way too large because every time I don't agree with my live at home son he says " Dad you are a big A$$." Did I mention that he is moving out in September.

Gosh I hope Fub's the one to the far right..............yummy! LOL.......that's actually not my taste.....too much bulk. HOT day today.....never would have lasted if really dehydrated from drinking.......boss got on me a bit but I took it in stride.....he has no idea how long some jobs take.......no idea......I don't even stop for lunch......or goof off......hope he doesn't start to micro-manage my days. Besides that, I am thankful for a few more things.......notice the sunrise this morning and starting to appreciate my beautiful surroundings again......enjoying people more.....drinking stole all that and sent me to a dark place. Richard, it took awhile running after that bus, but I am glad I finally did. Thanks for waiting at that stop for me!!  Hey JSM, sorry.....Fub can't have the hero biscuit........his diet, remember? How bout a hero banana? LOL.......maybe a pic with him eating his prize?  LOL....I must have heat stroke..........

This is all too good - golfers, 6-packers, butt builders, YIKES.. What are we becoming!! Yea Fubar - that bruise sounds painful.. but like you said other body parts are still an option.. maybe get in the pool and do some back dolphin kick - really good for the abs without any impact to the spine.. and if it is outside you can cloud gaze.. Yes - VC - so great to have you in the August group and putting those days under your belt - it was a tough climb to get back on that horse! And Richard - WAY TO GO - you are so doing it too - over with the August group.. we are a little subset of this January class.. but so glad to be here with all of you.. Doing OK here - on my new day 9 (8 done) and once again looking forward to double digits.. Thanks to all of you for never judging, always supporting and not giving up the fight for yourselves and for the rest of us - oh yes, and for keeping the humor! XOXOX |

Good morning class. It is good to see everyone back posting redularily and doing well in our struggles. I feel an uplifted mood since everyone is back on the wagon and that is reassuring that life is better without booze. It is something I have to keep reminding myself and your screwups have helped me with that and for that I thank you. As far as the monkey picture goes I am a little insulted. I always eat bananas with my shorts on. I am a classy distinguished sophisticated ape.

Morning all.. quick check in - starting double digits today (in day 10).. Well Fubar - if our ****-ups helped you - just know that you not ****ing up helped me - a lot.. And I am glad for you (and your wife) that you have stuck with it.. Working a lot more these days and that is good - and really glad to not be drinking because it is easier to work when i am not - I also like my work more when I am not. ((( )))) to all of you! |

WTG Double-Digit girl!!!!!! Nice job. Life is easier without putting the depressants into ourselves isn't it? That's all it is too.....then the guilt.....feeling lousy....I got somewhat paranoid and worried about everything.......how exhausting. I am glad we are all on the proverbial bus.

Good morning class. It is good to see everyone revitalized and eager to come to class. I do not want to see anyone joining THREE classes. Two is enough for everyone.

I am so embarrassed......I just took a good look at that monkey picture.......lol........sorry Fub.....I did not pay attention to detail, serious!.........LOL.......  Rough day.......boss is micro-managing now. We have a team meeting tomorrow where he plans to tell us all off. He even told me he was going to give it to me for my doings right in front of the group......nice huh? I am gonna just blow it off and go do my job......I cannot let him bother me. Other than that, still trying to sleep, it's just not happening. Tomorrow is day 7........I don't remember this from last time.....? Could just be the life disruption of having my friend staying here. I hope you all are well. JSM, you leave my pigtails alone boy, or else!

There will be no more teachers pet JS. The last one named Massey has skipped class for months. I can't take that again. Teachers have feelings too. VC. Did you ever think that maybe the boss is getting heat from above for not running a tight enough ship? If everyone gives him the respect that he deserves maybe things will get better. As for me I am struggling with the gym. I just want to sleep in every day this week. I have that hard time sleeping thing going on too VC. Oh well we will get over it. Peace. Out.

I'm taking a week off from work, haven't had a week off in a couple years, no real big plans just gonna hang out and get some R&R. Maybe see a couple of movies and go to few nice restaurants. Sorry to hear about your struggles with sleep and gym time Fub. Since my sobriety I haven't seemed to need as much sleep, get about 5-6 hrs and I'm awake without any noticeable side effects. Used to need more sleep time and would nap often, obviously alcohol induced. After my mini-vacation, I'll go back to working day the shift and I'm sure my sleep thing will be all jacked up. Enjoy your weekend class. | |

Good morning class. Could there by any chance be golf on the schedule for that time off JS???? I think the problem is I have been reverting to snoozing on the couch in the afternoon again then not sleeping at night. I will have to go back to freerolling poker even though it is hard to make any free money now at least it is something to keep me awake. It is tough being retired but somebody has to do it. I feel quite saintly leaving the jobs for the younger people that need them. For this I am hoping to be named Humanitarian of the year.  Seeing as someone is complaining about the quiet I am assigning a 1000 word essay on what I did that I can remember this summer. I know this will be a very difficult assignment for a few of you renegades.

the golf thing goes without stating... and hoping to be named 'Humanitarian of the Year' and then assigning us a 1000 word essay does not bode well for your campaign...   Taking a day trip to south Texas, near the Mexico border, to visit some of the spouse's family. Will have to DVR Tiger's defense of a 2 stroke lead at golf's last major tourney and watch it later, hoping the S.Korean and the Irishman give him a run for his money. Enjoy the remainder of the weekend class. | |

Good point JSM......not a very good idea mixing assignments and then asking for a vote......you have fun on your trip! Hope you guys are doing ok.....I am doing pretty good on this first sober weekend in awhile.......it seems to go by slower and I like that. I have a whole other day today. Our class has dwindled. KB, you better stay with us.......and pop in too Richard......and anyone else who may be checking this out. It is 47 degrees this morning......and this is August????? Wow. Have a great one today. Hugs.

Good morning class. OK OK the assignment is cancelled and for the trauma it caused there is Maple Walnut ice cream foe everyone and if anyone is allergic to nuts ( teachers exempted from the list of nuts) butterscoth ripple is the substitute. Of course I will not be having any because of the fitness challenge. I have been reading the August thread and it seems a lot more fun so today I will have a few drinks so I can be in the August class. NOT Maybe I can get the school board to reassign me. Although that group looks like it needs a tougher teach than the self appointed Humanatarian of the Year.
