Thanks Nands. I don't want to be smug about it though.

Ananda

smugness is the new humble

Well done on the 30 days Timz mate.

timzup

Good advice Fizz, was that estimate done with or without a calculator?

Nope, did it all by myself, here's my workings out if you don't believe me

Well done, you can have a lolipop.

Now then 2 acres? Nands wants to know what that is in feet. Didn't the Romans use cubits or something?

Ananda

and then maybe compare it to a football field....since i don't do square feet well....oh...my house is 600 sq feet....so how many houses would equal 2 acres????

I don't feel as smug about LB as i thought i would. Just feel a bit depressed now. We seem to be dropping like flies.

I'm away on business all weekend, can't say I'm looking forward to it really! Needed you lot to be up beat for me!!!!!!

Ananda

We are not dropping like flies wibbs! It is going to be ok...some times some of us get off to a rough start...but as long as we come back and try again...I think we all have the ability to get and stay sober. (not raggin on you wibs...just saying don't get all depresed about it if you can help it)

You guys wouldn't believe how many times I tried to quit....and just couldn't make it 2 hours. Went to meetings drunk for 9 mos. It isn't easy to get and stay sober, involves a lot of changing, but it isn't all such a desperatly horid thing you know.....

I've found out who I am and what I believe and how to live a good life...and fun too believe me...never laughed like this when I drank.

I just discovered I had this belief that didn't make since this morning...yeah...it's a little scarry...but it's fun too...felt like a real weight lifted off my shoulders...creates new opportunities in my life

When things get tough, we just hve to pull together...it is definately a we thing this getting sober, cant do it for each other...but what a difference the companionship makes!!!

did i go on just a little too long there...... :ghug

LB's ears perk up - Wibbles going on business meetings in bars!!! Will I be in the lead again. Coz when you get back, cookie monster, I will be on ummmmm.... day 3!

Do flies drop? Do pigs sweat?

timzup

That's the way LB! Glad you're still around. I don't know, do pigs sweat? Suppose they do if they are chasing a burglar or something.

Ananda

I think they are like dogs...they just slober alot

lostbutterfly

Night, night sweet people. See you tomorrow. Thank you all for being here for me today.

Be good Wibble on your weekend. Really!! Mum has spoken! And if you fck up, come back anyway. I do it all the time!

Ananda

nite guinifly.......have really nice dreams and we will see you up and early in the morning!!!!!

Hi everybody,
Still around, just not on very much due to business travel. I'm proud of you all, even those who are starting over (like I do two or three times a week).

Wibbs - good luck on your trip, it's been both good and bad for me! You're really strong right now though, I know you can hang in there.

Pixy - where are you, girl? Hope you'll let us know how you're doing soon! I'm going to send you a pm too .

Hugs to my classmates :ghug

Ananda

glad you checked in CG....seems to be key in this sobriety thing...now don't get carried away like me....checking in every 15 minites is just a tiny bit obsessive

We are all anxiously awaiting to hear from you about the good the bad and the ugly of your trip...and wibbles too....will give us something to think about when we go for a trip

I'm getting pretty worried about christmas...anyone else

colagirl

Hahahha, actually when I posted you weren't here and the first thing I thought when I logged in was... where's nands??? she's always here!

I'll definitely update on the details of my trip. It's harder than I thought, but mostly because of my stupid addict mind than anything else! I'll be back in the beautiful northwest for the weekend then I'm off again for most of next week. Will be glad when it's all done!

I'm getting nervous about Christmas too. Family functions always stress me out, although we never have alcohol at them which is a good thing. I just get anxious over things I find out at these functions. And my birthday is on New Year's Eve - what a great combination for an alkie! That one's gonna be tough, but since it's one day at a time I don't have to worry about it now.

timzup

Night God bless LB.

Ananda

HEY CG...my son's birthday is newyears eve too!!!!! He'll be 30 this year...are you twins???

well....i will be computerless chrismas eve and most of christmas day.....and out of town, with no time for meetings.....

mom is anti computer due to my dads love of them, so there is not computer or internet access at her house.

I won't drink, but I can get pretty wacko sober under family circumstances...we will all have to come up with a plan.
