Good for the most part, thanks for asking. There is a bill being proposed in my state now that would cut my pay by 15% and remove seniority protection from my X and cut her pay by 5%... but hey whatever. But still sober.
Going to a wedding this Sat with the GF and her kids. Should be fun. Kinda nervous about the beer, oh and the dancing lessons I have been taking. I think she is expecting a lot of dancing..UGGG

YIKES!!!!
Eight months.
That first week seemed so impossible and now the months are flying by. Thank you to everybody in this whacky little group of ours who helped in so many ways.

Sooooooooooooooooo glad to hear that. I hadn't heard from you for in a while, and sometimes around this joint people disappear for all the wrong reasons. You just made my day

(( HUGS )) Murray - you made my day too. Had a huge work project - major software upgrade which went into production last week. I got through it without drinking although I did really really wish I could have had a drink or two to soothe my frazzled mind at one or two points in the whole ordeal.

Is anyone else still having drinking dreams? I had one last night and it was so realistic. In the dream, someone gave me a glass of white wine and I was going to tell her that I don't drink, but I could smell it and taste it, so I just hovered in that moment, frozen.
I always dream about wine or champagne when I have drinking dreams. I was much more of a liquor person, so I don't know why it's always wine or champagne. The dreams also involve social situations, and I did most of my drinking alone.

It might take a couple months to get some Route Measurement Officers up here to restructure my route (I'm a letter carrier who also delivers parcels from a van), but it should be worth all the effort.
(Being "overassessed" means that even on those days when I finished on time, or 15 minutes early, they still owe an hour of overtime pay).

Sooo, its been a little over 8 months. My best friend still drinks a lot. We do have a lot in common (type of job, interests and so on) besides drinking. He wants me to be his Designated Driver at a concert in a couple of weeks. He is paying the whole bill. The bands ok, but not someone I would pay to see.
I would like to go, cuz we dont do anything any more. He sits in his basement and drinks. I am not sure how I feel about being around all the booze and him drinking. I am afraid it would make a perfect excuse. I have gone to weddings and parties with booze and been fine.
Not sure what to do here.

Congrats Murray! The sooner you get your money. The sooner you get your darkroom
Ok...just want y'alls opinion on something....I use fb a lot for marketing purposes...so I have a lot of "friends" who I don't know...some of whom I have gotten to know IRL and am happy about it. One of my H.S. classmates (we weren't friends) I am friends with...I am also friends with her husband. They live in TX with two young kids. Husband is in NYC on business and asked if I wanted to meet...I was a little surprises (we don't really interact on fb) but thought maybe he was interested in my children's portraits. I sort of hedges and he said "how about dinner...my treat"....how would you all read this?
Thanks!
Tina

I'd decline, but if I wanted to spend some time with him, I'd invite him out for some non-booze activity. If he declines because there's no booze, well, it's a tie.
