Just back, what a party, Horselover sure knows how to throw em eh

I wouldnt have eaten that Logcabin, even for the $100 bet. Goodness knows how long that had been at the bottom of Horsies Jacuzzi !!!!!!!!!

Completley ruined my best green tights doing that old trick again though, getting to old to be doing the splits on roller blades on the high dive board !!!!!!!!!

Day 75

Still not doing as well as I was though, lots of negative thoughts, need to take a shake to myself and get on with it I reckon.

Good to see everyone here - keeps the old lad going

Is that really all I have to do, flamin heck wish someone had said.

"all you've gotta do is refrain from putting the vodie to yer gob!"

Well thats it folks, I'm cured, 145 posts Benji's written and one has finally made sense.

Onwards and upwards for me, I've seen the light I know the answers.

You should write a book mate, ok its no going to be the longest but it makes sense, no need for bite size chunks, just one clear message that gets to the heart of the problem.

SR will probably just shut down now, no need for it anymore once everyone gets that message.

You two behave or I'll have to stop this car!! No more arguing and keep your hands to yourselves. Brothers - what a bother!!! I think Scotland and England may be at war.

Time to clean up after that party. No - don't leave yet! Look at the dishes and all the soda cans thrown everywhere. Who broke the jacuzzi?? Fizzy - Benji!!!!!!!

Fizzy..there is a small consultancy fee for my services. You can't expect me to pass on information like that for free...years of solid research has gone into my thesus....somewhere down the line all that time has got to be paid for...and i'm afraid it's down to you my old mucker....I want a quid for every day that you stay sober...paid into my off shore account....
....is anyone else interested in Dr Benji's 'fix it - don't mix it' course? ...I can do a special rate for group bookings...and I don't mind if you have one of those American accents...I always liked Starski and Hutch...and that programme where the second half of the episode is a load of people in a barn saying goodnight to each other...'Night jim Bob!' 'Night Grandma!'....must have been very cheap to make...did it catch on?

OK furoners, I hope this translates to something akin to "don't drink", but I have to say this sounds like it could be a guy thing, or an adult-supervised thing, or....

Hey, how come I wasn't invited to horse's party?
I can do the splits too, ya know...on roller skates!

(All Star series: "night starsky!" "night hutch!")

Good work CM....

I hope you have a smooth and easy day. Just keep taking care of yourself.

The anxiety does pass.

Ok Benji...if you're the doctor, I'm the CEO of this business of yours.

Starsky and Hutch, and the Waltons? Oh boy..two of my all time fave shows. And what accents? I never noticed any accects...

Day 43 for me, smooth sailing, haven't even had an urge for a while. I've been staying out of drinking situations as best I can... (As best I can, does that make sense??) You know what I mean.. Ha

Day 48.

Met with my sponsor last night to go over my step one homework. He was pleased with my work and mind set. "Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today." Now for step two.

It's been over six weeks since I last took a drink. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it took six week to turn a behavior into a habit. So I guess I am now habitually sober.

While I often think about drinking, I haven't really been tempted to pick up. I feel very deeply that it won't help me in any way and can only harm me. I look forward to putting in more sober time and to continue to learn to deal with everything I've been avoiding for so long.

Thanks for letting me share.

Good morning everyone. Day 76 but I have started my day out not so wonderfully and now owe my husband an amends but I can not seem to pick up the phone.
Just a reminder that I am still sick.

LogCabin - thanks the anxiety did pass. Having a good day hope you are too

Heavy - Congrats on Day 43. I am right behind you. I cannot wait to hit 40 days I do good with landmarks

Fulminous - Awesome work. I have been doing my homework from my sponsor as well. I will probably meet with her soon to review. It does feel like being in school. Keep posting and sharing

TT- Congrats. Trust me I am so spiritually sick I can relate. I think of maybe 5 people I owe amends to through my whple life. Cannot wait to consult with my sponsor once I reach step 4.

Benji - Glad you are doing well. Always get a good laugh from the good old doctor.... How does one get there PhD?

Fizzy - Hope all is well with you

I hope everyone is having a great day sober. It is raining and thundering and lightning here.

Day 75

Right behind you Fizzy, but only cuz of the time zone...

I'm going to ask one of the mods to take out my CURE picture...I think it's causing some security issues.

Day 76

They "Shore" can!

Yes...life is just so much easier when we face it clean and sober. Not every day is sunshine and roses. But even the difficult days and problems are easier when we walk through it clean.


I'm so excited. (And that can be dangerous for me too. Have to stay calm and even.) I have a job interview for a position I really wanted. They called! Yeah! Yeah! It's next Tuesday. I also have a job interview this afternoon with a temp agency, but the pay is pretty low. And no health benefits...so that sucks. But I will still go, and keep going until I hear an offer.

Welcome to this thread shore. It is great to have you. I have come a long way hanging on this sight. Many emotions many downs and now some ups

Logcabin. I will keep my finger crossed on the job THat is great news. Remember if the opportunity is right for you it will happen that is all you have to keep thinking And going to the other interview if you do not want the job is great practice. Remember sell your skills!!!


Fizzy I am not familiar with this game do tell. I love games.
