Hope you're having a nice ride, MGF. I'm going to go kayaking this afternoon; big waves rolling in today.
Stay sober, everyone. (Stay classy, San Diego).
Dee, how's that no-thanks policy working out for you?

Been watching USA women's world cup soccer semi final all day (well, past few hours). OMG what drama! And we WON!!! We beat Brazil in shootout after 2-2 final. Such a game. Whew!
Big hug to all the Decembers. Hang in there.
PS We play France on Wednesday so stay tuned! :-)

I know, Mgf, I was too...!! So great, after so much rollercoaster.
Speaking of rollercoasters, staying sober has given me a much more all pervasive sense of peace, although I still get emotional about this or that, it is much less and the "negativity" volume in my head seems to be turned more down...another reason not to pick up that first one.
Am thinking of all the Decembers, here and away and hoping all are ok.
You too Dee

Glad you guys enjoyed the game. I didn't get a chance, but glad to know we're still in it, especially given all the good stuff I read about Brazil's team.
So true, Soph about the steadying effect. I've noticed that when I'm down, I'll even remind myself, "Well, at least I'm grateful to be sober." Definitely near the top of my list of blessings.
As for the dwindling Decembers, I saw VC and BF over on the July thread. Maybe GFCO and Hooped are there too? It's way more active in terms of daily support—it's hourly support, really. I guess we aren't quite the chatty chattertons we used to be. Maybe they'll opt for dual citizenship, so to speak. Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?

Yeah, I hear you GFCO. I've been also hanging out on the under one year thread, to get some idea of what folks have experienced at 8, 9, 10 months and beyond. A bunch just graduated from there. It was interesting that some said they still hear the call; softer now, but still there.
I was at an AA meeting today and a woman was getting recognized for 23 years, and she said she still does it one day at a time. She seemed OK with that; she had a big smile on her face when she said it.
La la salama, everyone.

That's really interesting...the day-to-day crazy brain does ease a few months in. Though I got sober and then pregnant, so I feel I am missing out on the "healthy and clear" feeling! I am going to try to hit the gym tomorrow...it's been months. I am starting not to feel so sick all day, thank goodness. I have been wondering if I'll be able to stay sober once I can drink again, but since that's 6 to 9 months away, I will be thankful to be sober and happy tonight. Lala salama!

Good morning, gang. Work is a bit hectic right now, and I was feeling stressed.... then I remembered what my life was like this time last year. Now that was unmanageable, as the AAers like to say. And viola, a hectic work day no longer seems like a problem at all.

Thanks for popping in, guys. Love the pic, VC. Look at young Ben Stein—how come everyone keeps getting older while I stay the same?
So anybody heard from Hooped? I don't care what thread folks are on, as long as they're somewhere on SR....
Onward and upward, everyone.
