Day 4, sober and also wondering if I'm done. TB, I'm sorry you are going thru this. And we all really want you to succeed at kicking booze's a$$ but you have to want it yourself too. Please give it another try and not just because you ran out of whiskey.  Ocean

Yeah, Count Chocula describes your avator very well. I can almost imagine the taste. Coco Puff's were one of my favorites when I was a kid.

Hi friends! How is everyone tonight? ((((TB)))) Glad you checked in. Keep with us. You guys are all so supportive and I couldn't have found a nicer group of folks to do this with. Just wanted to say that. OB -- well done. Keep at it. I'm on Day 2 but not actually counting days this time because my sobriety day is going to STICK and each day going forward is a wonderful gift. No need to count. But Oct. 14th is the day for me. Good night here on the east coast. Laura |

Day 4 OB? (((hugs))) That's past the hard part... lucky you. Well, not all the hard part (I'm assuming I'm not telling you anything new...), but still. Go for it! Wherever we're trying to get, you're closer to that than to where you're coming from... if that makes any sense. It's the mental process, somehow. TJ, stay at it, you got your goal now... Yeah, I can't really run out of whiskey... the store's got a whole lot of it. I know I gotta want to not go get some. -TB. |

OB and TB, lots of sober strength to you. Traderjane, congrats on your decision. Don't give up. I've been dealing with a bad tooth ache for a couple of weeks. I need to get the tooth extracted or have a root canal. I'm finally on antibiotics and some mild pain relief. Consequently, I'm feeling pretty wiped out and lethargic. I've been keeping up with work and exercising, but it's been a struggle and I've been pretty grumpy. Still sober though. Stupid teeth. It will be day 70 for me tomorrow. It does get easier.

Ow, box3. Out of curiosity, does Australia have universal health care? Or any form there of? Tooth surgery scares me half to death. You're mighty brave in my opinion. I'm afraid to go in for basic tooth maintenance, don't even have tooth problems. Even though my avatar claims I'm a cat (pre-costume), I actually don't even have canine teeth anymore. Go figure. I got 29 years on this planet and 28 teeth.... (((box3)))) |

Hey guys --- I just tried to post a couple of messages on the Yahoo thread and they disappeared. Wasn't Kate having this problem? Is there something wrong with it? ANEW -- I have kind of a busy weekend planned. Having dinner with a high school friend tonight, hair appointment on Saturday, hopefully yoga too, and an AA meeting (!), meeting a couple of girfriends on Sat. night for Chinese food and then spending the day on Sunday with my kids at a school "pumpkin patch event." I actually prefer having a little more free time on my weekends.... but maybe I'll have to wait until next weekend for that! Hope you all are good. |

A pumpkin patch event sounds like so much fun! I participated in a scarecrow decorating contest last weekend when I was on vacation. The local businesses sponsor them...and then they are hung right in front of each business. It really had me in the fall/Halloween mode. I hope you have some more free time next weekend, and that you will be able to get in some Yoga...for me, my excercise is my saving grace. Loved your other post..way to go TJ. |

Weird, PC. There was a huge long delay, then!!! I'm glad they all posted. I bet the first one and two were a little repetitive The third one was obviously a test -- LOL. But glad to see it's working okay. |

Very good but strange night for me, guys. I went out with a friend from high school (he had business in the DC area). He is divorced with kids like me, so we had a lot in common... a nice time. While at the restaurant when I walked in, I saw some friends of mine at the bar drinking (wine, martinis). I sat down to talk to them (waiting for my dinner date to arrive) and they offered to buy me a drink. I was not tempted to drink, but was a little thrown off guard and then said that I'd like a cranberry juice.... they quizzed me a little but not a lot and it worked out fine. At dinner I ordered San Pellegrino and my date had wine -- it didn't bother me at all because I'm on a mission to stay sober!!! A weird thing happened when I got home. I was thinking about the guy who kind of broke my heart (the one in Switzerland) after I was separated and just logged into one of my chat accounts. He happened to be coming home from partying at like 5:00 AM, saw me online and said hi and that he was just thinking of me today. Very strange, since we haven't talked in over a year. He then proceeded to flirt with me as he used to, as if we had never broken up. Weird that I was thinking of him and he was thinking of me at the same time. So life is strange at times. But life is GOOD when you are sober!!! HOW IS EVERYONE ELSE DOING? |

TJ... Sounds like you had a nice night.. Hmm...thinking of an ex-beau, logging into a chat account and he is there.. Last night, I felt so good, that it briefly crossed my mind that I could have one drink.. I didn't drink...but, strange how those thoughts do pop up at the strangest times..I mean, I was in a good mood!!! Our dog just had a seizure...its been awhile since the last one. He had them every 30 days for so long..this time, we stretched it to 60 days. Heading out for a walk.. |

Me, too guys. I tended to drink more when I was happy (or stressed out) but not when I was sad. Isn't that strange. Then the drinking would make me sad. Glad to stop the madness!!!

Checking in. To be honest I feel off the wagon, feel awful this morning. I was doing so well, now I'm not. Going minute by minute now. This sucks.

((((Zebra)))) We are here for you. Check in with us today. I'm off to get my hair "done" -- then have to grocery shop and am going to my second AA meeting!! It's at the same place where the first one was, so this time I will know where to go and where to park, etc. I'm a little relieved because I was supposed to go to my girlfriend's house tonight for "wine and Chinese food" (I was going to bring a bottle of sparkling lemonade for myself...) but one of the friends had to cancel, so now I get to stay home with my puppy (my kids are with their Dad), watch a movie and have take out food at home. This will all be after the AA meeting. So it's nice that I don't have to go out tonight. I'm a bit of a homebody and don't often get that nice quiet, cozy time at home. I'll check in after my meeting. |

Hi y'all. Hi Zebra. ((hug)) That sorta happened to me too. Come on back. OB, proud of you... I'm back, I suppose, feel like I wandered out into the dirt at a monster truck rally. Maybe I did. You'd think I might notice, but all week I've been living in some sort of surreal world. None of it seems real after it's over. Not like a blackout, but something else. Maybe more like an out of body experience. I'm not sure. Had a rally I didn't attend, and the Homecoming... everything else I did. And a lot of bottles too, not sure how many. But I have a lot less money in my pocket now, and I was going to use it to pay the court people. Grr. Not like I could afford this anyways... Well, I woke up and showered and ate some soup 'cause it's all I think I can tolerate, now I'm getting ready to go to a AA meeting, the one from last week where they seemed kind of nice to me. I hope they don't reject me now that I messed up again, but it's too late to be thinking on that. Oh, and what y'all was saying, about drinking and sad etc... I'd drink whenever. *ALL* the worst alcohol induced incidents (arrest, dui, wrecks, like that) were after I had been drinking because I was happy. I'd drink too much, too fast, recklessly enjoying human company... and pay. Got to the point, I feared being happy, which led to further isolation, which led to... eventually right here. Take care y'all, TB |

(((Zebra))) Hang in there with us...you know the drill, and you know we are here for you. I really came close to drinking something last night. I wasn't in the mood for a beer, which is all we had in the house. TB-take care of you! |

Well...I go to the grocery store, I have my little list, just a shopping..when, I pass the wine..hmm...a little Pinot, mixed with some mineral water and a twist of lime, oh yeah, I can do that. Light, not full strength, blah, blah, blah. In the cart it goes. As I am finishing up..I look at the wine, and thought...why would I drink? I am in a good mood, I am having a productive day...why? To say nothing of the fact that my hubby would probably look at me like I had two heads. So, I put it back. Instead I bought some whipped cream to top my dessert tea I bought. When I walked out to the car..I looked up and saw the most amazing sunset, just breath taking. I felt as though God had put it there, just for me, to reinforce my choice... |

Went to the meeting as promised. They still like me. I got more numbers, and maybe I'll try another one closer to home tomorrow--I was going to try tonight, but I'm just too tired. I was falling asleep all day long. Night y'all... TB |
