Hey ninjas, day 53 for me. I am much more sociable than I was and so many people are starting small talk. Maybe it's just my demeanor combined with the power of positive thinking that I want to make new friendships.
I found credits laying around for six different stores and didn't know how much is on each card. I used one at a clothing store and my purchase came to a penny less than what was on the card. Next I used a Target card and my purchase was the exact amount of the card, so weird! Things are going my way
Already looking forward to another sober weekend!

Great to hear you're all good JJ x
JCNY I feel the same. More people are interacting with me too or maybe it's just I'm noticing a lot more.
Second leg of my work trip involved another flight. What an eye opener that was. Typically I down as much as I can in the departure lounge then buy drinks on the flight being careful to get one more in before the cabin service finishes. Tonight in my sober state I witnessed a young lass get absolutely plastered...like I used to she kept ordering one after the other mini bottles of wine. She was rambling and the guy sitting next to her was rolling his eyes because she wouldn't stop talking and wasn't making any sense at all. I felt like going up to her in the airport once we landed and giving her a huge hug. From her rambling I found out this is what she normally did when her FIFO (mine worker) shift finished and she spends her week drunk in a hotel in Perth and at the casino spending all the money she had earnt on that swing at work. I never want to ever drink again after seeing that poor girl. I'm at the hotel now..sober as a judge and I'm going to read my book and get some sleep. I'll also remember to say a prayer for the drunk lass....maybe you could too. I hope she doesn't waste as much time as I did coming to her senses. Love to everyone. Ciao for now Ninjas xxx

Good morning all. Feeling pretty good on day 54. I'm really tired though after having the most horrific nightmares. It was one of those when you "wake up" several times while still dreaming.
I'm sorry too for that woman Mish. I had a similar experience in my first week of sobriety. She walked in looking beautiful and left completely legless with people laughing at her. Another stark reminder of our past.
Well done to everyone on another day sober. Enjoy your day 😊

JCNY, Mish, and JimmyJam, great work. It's really worth it, isn't it?

Our group is composed of Ninjas, of which you are one. You walk softly and are kind and respectful of others, but you will not hesitate to strike and cause great harm to your AV (addictive voice) when necessary.

Congrats on 7k steps...that's about 4.5 miles of dancing you did.
And last, big congrats on being sober. There's nothing cooler than going to a rock show and staying sober. You can't put a price on the feeling of getting home and being clear headed, ears still ringing, and know that you won't be hungover tomorrow. I posted that I saw Foo Fighters and Fleetwood Mac 100 percent sober, and couldn't have enjoyed it more if I tried.
Sunshine, I see you're in N. Carolina. I'm a huge Superchunk fan. I saw them at Cats Cradle, but alas, that was during the bad old days and I don't remember much from the show.

Hi everyone. Just got home from my work trip safe and sound and still sober. I did it! First sober work trip ever. Totally enjoyed it. I only had one moment of craving but overcame it. Has anyone seen the Mobile Chat thing on SR. It popped up when I logged on tonight...looks cool. Love to every one. I'm off to bed now...keep safe and sober Ninjas xxxx
