Big Congrats Rose on the sober time. It's all good changes from here on! Really great to read.
So I looked up the toad in a hole thing and it looks pretty easy to make and I can see how it would be a favorite food. I didn't Google this, but is Shepherds Pie made with lamb and Cottage Pie made with beef? I think I may have seen that on a cooking show - which, BTW I love cooking shows. Especially the British Baking Show in the tent. You guys got it right with that show! I'm kind of in BBS withdrawal as there are no new episodes available to me right now other than the Christmas ones, and I REFUSE.
Still sick.
Coffee is helping.
Prayers for anyone still in the grips of alcohol or drugs, and anyone in those first few difficult days of quitting. You can.
