Pool or garden? Hm. Not sure I could opt for garden in that case, STDragon, but I would love the fresh produce.

Another weekend in the sober books.

This is one of those really important posts.

"My addiction still pokes me. I just step out of its reach."

I read a lot in Newcomers and there is a recurring theme of being frustrated that the drinking thoughts keep hanging around. I don't think they ever truly 100% go away, so it pays to find a way to deal with them when they do come.

"I don't drink." is what I say when they come up. It works every time. But expecting the thoughts to completely go away I think is an expectation that is doomed to fail. Mental association and memory. Nothing more.

Manta, you sound peaceful. I'm happy you are settling in.

Vman. Lucky they still sell tomatoes at the market. Enjoy your holiday! I would like to holiday in France, please!

Coffee...
