Welcome Griknus and congratulations on 55 days sober. Every day sober is a wonderful accomplishment.

Today where I live we are bracing for a major blizzard. In my office we celebrated beach day while supervisors were gathering volunteers to work all day, stay overnight at a local hotel, and work all day tomorrow to staff our department. I passed because I have the coffee commitment at my home group AA meeting. I have the key and I needed to go in case anyone showed up for a pre blizzard meeting.

My husband and I had built huge traditions around snow and booze, and breaking that association felt like it was going to break me. Less than a year ago I was holding my breath and clenching my fists when it snowed.

The only other person who showed up was an old timer who came just in case anyone needed a meeting. Two people trying to do the right thing, checking in on each other's well being in a church basement. He's one of the regulars, who I get some good gems from, and it was kind of a privilege to have a discussion with someone whose shares resonate with me.

Carlos - was George the originator of womp-womp? I was just reading an article about Larry David, who George Costanza is rumored to be based on, because Larry David is going to be on starring in a play on Broadway that he also wrote.... I was thinking how fun it would be to sneak backstage!!

Saskia - Good luck with the move. I hope you can dodge the storm. Let us know how you're doing if you can.

BoozeFree, SoberLeigh, Gilmer - Have a great day!

I loved Curb Your Enthusiasm. That show made me cringe to death! Susie was my far away favorite!

Hi Undies,

To my dear friend Carlos....
Wishing you peace, serenity, joy, happiness and freedom on your BIRTHDAY - and everyday! I so appreciate the time you take to share the lessons you learn on your sober journey with us on SR, and I'm fortunate to call you a friend in real life as well.

Saskia, hope the move is going well.

Glee, ah yes - memories of Storm Wine!!!!! Almost nauseating now. So glad that is no longer an issue.

Have a great day, Undies.

Glee, SL and Gilmer, thank you for the birthday well wishes. I have a busy day planned with various personal and business related tasks, hoping to end with a trip to the gym followed by an AA mtg.

Sask, hope all is well with your move during the storm?

Welcome, Gnik!

Happy birthday, Carlos :-)

Just picture me with one eye showing from a gigantic snow bank! Back later after I've had a chance to breathe!

Welcome newcomers, it's alwayd good to see new undies learning how wonderful it is to share and support.

Happy Birthday Carlos, I'm sending a birthday smooch your way

BABS what a lovely surprise to pop in and see a post from you! Come back to the Marcher Y'Hear??

Sass, I hope you and Kitty made the move okay, I have been thinking of you all day
What's with the weather over there! I feel for all who have been badly affected by it and happy for those who are able to enjoy it!

We are expecting a flurry or two here but I don't expect it to amount to much

I've just recently met a minister and she has already helped me ---I'm going to keep her close. it's day 4 of being sober. Someone from here told me to get back on the horse----so, here I go again. thanks for asking SL
