Thanks for checking in stoney! I'm just a little bored and a little discontent yet excited at the same time....weird combo.

Hope your whole day ends up positive.

I've been off sweets for 2 1/2 days now....had a hard time turning down the brownies they shared at the noon meeting today, but did

Just sitting with my wonderful dogs.

Ro- Have a great weekend with Mr. Rocket!

ananda- Here's the astronomical weather report courtesy of the band Train:

Now that shes back in the atmosphere
With drops of jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that theres time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like june, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

Now that shes back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that theres time to grow, hey, hey

Now that shes back in the atmosphere
Im afraid that she might think of me as plain ol jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know youre wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way

Slept in? Shared? Wow what a great day in recovery!

You might need a 12-Step program for all that progress!

All this talk of going to the moon, Jupiter in people's hair - it's making me hungry.

Luckily I have these two tuna sandwiches here.

Happy Windex Friday everybody, beer is not on the agenda again for the umpteenth Friday in a row.

Hope you're all doing ok; Stone - stay cool bro, don't worry about your relapse. I won't kick your ass this time, don't let it happen again.

I do usually try to share whether it makes any sense or not but I do usually wake up and try to sleep repeatedly.

How come it doesnt feel like any progress ?????

God I wish this would end - the constant ups and downs.
This should be on the Whiners thread.

Give it some time frst... if you step back and reflect you'll see you've definitely made progress even if it doesn't feel like it. Get out a pen & paper and make a list of where you were and where you are now.
