Today I went to the poker game at the Tally Ho Tavern.
I made it through without drinking but I was bored out of my mind. I won't be going back again but I wanted to make sure I can go to a bar and not want to drink. Now I don't have any desire to go to the bar which was pretty much the extent of my drinking problem.

They caught the robbers who robbed our sister restaurant, and they think it's the same guys who robbed our restaurant...good news!! The scary thing is, I found out one of the guys killed 3 people the day after our robbery. He was a gang leader, and these kids (teens) wanted out of the gang.
I'm feeling pretty darned lucky to be alive, as I'm thinking this is the same guy who pisto-whipped me. I knew him...he actually worked at the other restaurant, for a while.
I'm off tonight, have done nothing but eat, sleep, and hang out on SR.
Hugs and prayers!

I was busy today, and it was a long day, but I'm glad that I CAN work! I may have to do a little work, tomorrow, but most of the day, I'll have off
I drove through the country, today, and saw some beautiful mama and baby horses.
There was a little chaos in my family, tonight, but I was able to stay out of it.
Hugs and prayers!

Today has been great so far. On the way back from the gym there are 5 heavy doors before you reach the mall. It is all underground. We love the underground in Toronto.
Anyways there was an elderly lady with a cane and I held the first door for her and was going to rush off as I would have usually done.
This is more than most of the rude people here would do so I probably would have pat myself on the back for holding one door.
This time I walked with her and chatted with her and opened all the doors for her until she reached the mall.
I know it isn't a big deal but it made me feel good and I am sure she appreciated the help and the company. It is good that I am becoming more caring.

I like that when I'm sober - two weeks today - I can do what I need to do without fear. I also become more caring and compassionate and less selfish.
What's good today is being sober so I can help my neighbor in their need for child care... I even brought their dogs over here for the day!
I am sober today and that is good!

Today it is good because the people I love are loving me more and more now that I am not hurting them (mentally) when I am drunk.

It rained all day and night, but now the sun is out.
Yesterday, was an emotional day, here on SR..two people, I know of, lost loved ones to addiction. It breaks my heart. On another forum, people were bickering because someone's feelings got hurt at the way something was said. After a day of reading, I was emotionally drained.
However, I said a prayer for everyone and I realized that the best I can do is come here, share my ES&H, and spread a little hope.
Every day that I wake up alive and clean...it's a good day. Things may not go the way I want them to, and it may seem like a bad day, but if I can "hit the pillow clean" (as my friend Emmer says" each night, it's been another good day. I just have to keep things in perspective
Hugs and prayers!
