Hi, Leshar! Glad you checked in.

Did exactly that Gilmer. Honesty is the best policy.

Thanks for everyone's input, you all had the same idea. The stress is off me now , phew xxx

I played the tape forward ( as Dee always says ) & I didn't like what I saw.

It would only have ended badly.

Feeling happy today xxx

Hi all. Been offline, nothing too dramatic and checking posts here and there. My phone has not let me login several times to the site, so gave up!

Firstly, Bob, unlike my fellow "Ausssies" on this thread, I absolutely LOVE camping and don't mind 4 wheel driving too. (I'm now even questioning if Dee, Suze and Snooz are even Aussies at all if they don't camp, lol. Hmm. He he.)

Leshar, just a hug. Hope this down feeling passes.

LB...so awesome you are getting through each day. You must have really racked some time up now...loving your resolve!

Snooz, I agree with the others re the party. katie has surely seen enough relapses to understand. You could even offer to help her set up as a sweetener, but ultimately, the AV might tell you to stay. Best to keep away....the olive branch can still be appreciated, just in a different way. Maybe offer to help clean up the next day, lol? That would for sure reinforce how foul alcohol is.

No news here. A few stressful things going on, but have to be positive and look forward and not let my mood get me down.

Love to all, especially those in the early days, please give yourself credit that you are doing really well.xx

Sending huge hugs to help you get through the stress dearest Crois. ♥

And I really am going to go (horrendous English, but what can you do?) camping with Nick.
And I am looking forward to it.
Mind you, I am kind of looking forward to every single part of my life with Nick.

Hello dearest Bug. ♥

Also loving your resolve: you sound strong and happy.

I enjoyed camping when I was younger Crois, but then camping became a boozefest for me...and now I'm into my creature comforts too much

Besides I'm not sure the scooter could handle rough terrain

I once went camping, and came face to face with a skunk! I shuffled quickly back to the campfire with my pants still around my ankles!

Thanks, Croissant. Not really racking up the days, yet. Only on Day 7, again, but I'm really trying to make some changes in my life/routines this time around. Last night I couldn't even stay up with hubby to celebrate V day because it just reminded me of drinking champagne together (which we haven't done in years), but it was still a trigger so I just went to bed early. Poor hubby. I know he wants a sober wife, but early sobriety is so hard and I'm not sure he understands that. Sigh. Anyway, this time around I am praying more, posting more, journaling, going to meetings when I can, and not keeping alcohol of any kind in the house. My husband even got rid of his garage beer. I was never even a beer person, but on hard days, knowing it was there ... well, you know.

Sorry for the ramble. I really want this and am going to do whatever it takes this time.

Thanks for being here, love you all!

Thanks, Suze. I am feeling really good

7 days is absolutely awesome dearest Bug!!!!!!! ♥

Gilmer

Fight with everything you've got, LB.

SnoozyQ

Of COURSE Bob, would love camping ( the favourite)

SnoozyQ

Loving all your posts. Leshar, how are you honey, I've been thinking about you lots

Ladybug wtg on 7. Days. You are putting more and more longer stretches of time together , you WILL get there .

Crois , I'm so glad I'm not going to the party. But I'm NOT Going there to clean up the next day. Not for all the tea in China lol. I've done my fair Share of day afters.

They are NOT pretty lol ! Also, see as my job is mostly cleaning, the last thing I want to do is clean someone else's mess.

It's sorta like when my sister was married to a plumber, yet they always had blocked pipes

They will all be hungover and I don't want to be around that either ...ugh.

Suze how long to go now darling one? Counting down the days

Bob, I'd love to see more pics of your lovely snowy backyard xx
Have you thought anymore about getting another 4 legged friend

Pete , I know you're out there somewhere, hope all is well my friend.
Much love to you Gilmer , Pj , Dee and all our lovely Julyers.

I'm off to Gawler River to have a lovely lunch with my best friend Angela. She's asked me to bring Mum & Dad too , so we are all looking forward to it.

Jack( her partner ) who is absolutely lovely is making us a home cooked meal.

I love Angie dearly, I don't know what I'd do without her. She has always been the one to pull me out when I've been at my worst.

I owe her so much, but it's just natural to her.
She expects nothing in return hers is the only house, I willing clean with love & enjoy.

I can't wait to see her and have more of those belly laughs. ( I actually come home with a sore tummy from laughing )

I think there is always that one friend in our lives that is irreplaceable .

I don't think I've ever heard her say a bad word about anyone.

Ok getting my shower on, picking up the parents, getting some crusty country bread on the way and living a wonderful sober day with those I love.

Life doesn't get any better than this.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day. / evening.

Life is good xxx

Have a lovely time in Gawler River Snoozums. ♥

In 2 weeks and 1 day I will be on the plane. Yes....really. Just wow.

Gilmer

It's so GOOD to hear the joy in your voice again, Snooz!

SnoozyQ

Absolutely devastated ! Angie told us today , she has breast cancer.
It's not good . It's a very aggressive cancer. She is going to have a mastectomy as it has spread to the lymph nodes.

Life is ******* cruel.

Why do bad things happen to good people.

She has to have the works. Chemo, radiation and live with a pressure sleeve on her arm for the rest of her life.

it's been an emotionally exhausting day.
