Hey guys! Lots of big things coming.
Going back to college, EEK! Something I couldn't have done a few years ago.
So if you don't hear from me for awhile, know I am sober & moving onward & upwards
Sean, happy 1year early!
Thanks to you all for being so supportive & encouraging.
I am blessed to call you family.
Peace, love & hugs to you all

Congrats Newleaves!! And nice to "see" you FF, Nel, Dee, and PCL!! I am heading to MA tomorrow for my niece's wedding. I know they are big party people so I imagine there will be lots of drinking. I had a strange thought about what it would be like if I had some wine. I know I won't but I guess that devil still sits on my shoulder sometimes. I will be vigilant! I am a happy almost retired person and I wouldn't do anything to mess it up. Have a great weekend to all my wonderful classmates!

Hello my dear class, wonderful to read your updates Fab news JAM and Katrinka, so know that you will breeze through this. All is still sober and good here, am both working on my designs, building my company so I can sell them and to make sure I have a steady income I have a 70% job as well mostly evenings and nights so it all fits perfectly
I went to a party the other day, I was really looking forward to it as I so seldom go to such events these days and there I had a great realization, I have never really liked parties with lots of people I do not know, you stand around and drink up some courage and late at night when everybody is drunk and dancing you start to get to know other people. When sober that bit does not really work out for me, for a minute I thought that sobriety has changed my and that I do not know how to have fun anymore, then I remembered I never liked them in the first place, not even when I was drinking. Then like now I feel most comfortable in the bathroom with the door closed Because there I don't have to pretend that I am having fun....
So with that realization I can embrace who I am and what I like and meet my friends in other settings where I can have lots of fun as well
Onwards and upwards my friends, Sean, fab to see how well you are doing
Love, L

Hi Everyone!
First, congrats New Leaves! Very exciting for you!
Seanie, keep going strong, one year is right around the corner!
JAM, I'm glad to hear you are pursuing something for yourself and doing great! You will succeed in college, you've accomplished so much already. Please stop in and keep us posted once and a while!
Kat, I had a similar thought a couple of weeks ago..it was fleeting but I actually entertained a thought about 'what if I just had a glass..' It shocked me that, 2 and 1/2 years sober, my mind would even go there. Thank God I came to my senses and played the tape through! As you said, a reminder to ALWAYS be vigilant.
Limbo, I'm with you..I also discovered I never really cared for any big social events. Alcohol was my crutch to loosen up and act like the life of the party. In reality, I'm much happier being alone or with one or two close friends. I prefer to be my authentic self more and more..
Life is good and I continue to thank God for my many blessings, mainly for my sobriety.
Love to All

Hi Class! 45 miles! That's great DD. Being healthy is the best reason not to drink, isn't it? I have officially retired as of Tuesday at noon, it feels great! Doing everything I can to stay healthy as long as I can so I can enjoy my time is a priority. And I hope to do some drawing and painting just for fun. I hope you are all doing great!
