Good morning Marchers 
The sun is shining, we have three days of work to go and then nineteen days off. Did I mention that we are going to have a break? It might be a surprise to you.
Gotta order the prawns, balmain bugs and scallops for Thursday.
Have a good day peeps.

Can I just sit here and weep?
I had a long phone talk with my sister. It was so normal, and so true, and so happy that I want to cry. We couldn't have these talks before as I was stone drunk. I'm so damn happy to be so much better than I used to be.

Babs, how are you doing? I hope all's well.
Life, have you made plans for how you are going to travel the path to sobriety?

Marcher, thank you for enabling us to share in such a poignant moment.
North, I totally understand.
Trachy, I am so happy in the changes in your relationship with your sister, I know it was more than just your drinking in the past, but I also know that without your sobriety, any chance of reaching the level of relationship you now share would have been impossible.
Dee, those look absolutely disgusting! Like some prehistoric giant bug- I bet they taste delicious!!
Sass, I totally agree. I can't believe I wasted so many years hiding from my emotions - 'drowning my sorrows' 'celebrating my successes' all I did was numb my humanity. Now I et to live as it was intended, feeling emotions at their rawest, and living life rather than watching from a drunken sideline.
Oneday, I too am so happy to have more of you! And love tha philosophy. I do not believe in a 'God' as such but have always believed that there is an energy we can draw from for positive or negative and that the energy we put out there becomes a part of it. I try very hard to be positive and see the best side of things, ( like just now, at least I won't be too hot in bed......) so your take on the same thoughts is great.
Duff, my heart goes out to that little boys mum, how hard it must be for her to have to keep it all together for him when she must be falling apart inside. And I guess they are young? How awful at any time of year, but to happen at Christmas, too sad. I and sending some of that positive energy your way to divert to the family. And sweetie, yes, isn't it amazing to recognise that you were able to be there 100% for someone in need instead of seeing it as an excuse to drink!
DD, I am looking forward to your update, good and bad news?? Don't take too long coming back to us.
Life, you said you would be updating us so are you still drinking now, or have you stopped? What steps are you taking?
Ken, what Turkey pot pie have you bought for your Christmas dinner? Have you found Jez' escape route? I keep hearing the theme tune to 'the great escape' do I need to buy her a baseball for in the cool box?
Wehave, how's life with you? What are your Christmas plans?
Gilmer, how is Pappa Gilmer doing?
Shoes, will we see more of you during the holiday break?
I am going to fetch my folks from the airport later (alone 'Ice T' has 'work' to do apparently!) cynical muc? Moi?
Catch y'all later, any March dudes or dudettes I havent mentioned (Mesoso where are you these days??) drop by for an update please!

Physically, my dad is doing very well, Toots, thanks. Mentally, he's getting more and more confused: he keeps asking us if we've had a nice Christmas! But I am grateful that he's just got a bit of dementia, not Alzheimers. He is still a very sweet guy; no personality change.

I'm on day 2 of sobriety and been to two AA meetings.
Got a medical review tomorrow for the board to see if I can get my registration back. I won't know until the report from the medic goes through and then i've another meeting with the board.
Guys, i've upset too many people here, it's not right of me to stay.
I've asked SR to delete my profile. Thanks to all who have supported me. Again, I can only apologise for the upset I have caused.
Keep it up guys. Wishing you a blessed and safe Christmas and a happy New Year.

Good morning Marchers It's very humid and warm here -- Florida weather I would think Ken -- storms must be on the horizon. Today feels like Wednesday since we worked yesterday but in a day or two it won't matter because ... 
Have a good day peeps.
