I don't like the humidity, but I love the sun being out. I am not looking forward to the end of summer. From November to March, I find the short dark days very depressing, and hard to cope.
I am hoping to win tickets to the air show this weekend

You guys have an airshow this weekend also, katan? The Cleveland one is only close to $20. Very affordable.
Hope you're having a good day JHE.
I'm glad we're all here for each other. It's a crazy world 'out there'
Here's to another sober day

Thank you for the message. I have been taking orienteering lessons and find it to be a fascinating sport with great people. I'm doing another training this weekend. My wife has started to take an interest in it, which is also nice.

Hi Everyone,
Had my addictions group tonight. We talked about our substance of concern/addiction, last use, our coping strategies, etc. I told the group that it was because of SR, and the friends I have made on SR, that I have been able to stay strong and sober. Thank you all for being here for me.

jhe, I'm with you.
I am tired of this, pissed off, want to do it different.
How can I be sooooooo determined in the morning and fold in the evening?
Every evening?
I don't know, but I do know I'm going to get it one of these days,
And I am very glad (though ungratefully envious) for the success of our classmates.
Y'all keep on keeping on and keep in mind how much this limbo sucks!

Obladi, really glad to see you back, you were missed! If every evening is too hard maybe you just need to go to bed earlier! Maybe you can break the day down to smaller more manageable bits. No drinks for next half hour, or reward yourself with a treat at end of night...you can do it, you have the desire and that's the main thing that you need.

Good Morning, Julians!
Ob.... I was exactly the same way. I had to work during the day and I would tell myself I wouldn't drink that night. Right after work, I'd be going to the gas station to buy some beer!
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expect different results. It was insanity. AND I almost REALLY lost my mind... sure there were other reasons mixed in, but the alcohol had it's chain around me and was pulling me closer and closer to the abyss. I came right to the edge and was peering into the darkness, before I had JUST ENOUGH

.... UMMMM. have no idea how that posted.... but...
just enough strength to reach out my hand just a little bit and grab ahold of God.... and He grabbed ahold of me and brought me back from the edge. Until we let go of our own pride (wanting to do what we want to do when we want to do it) and realize that we ARE powerless over our addictions without the help of someone to knock some sense into us. That once we take that first drink... it's all over - and probably for quite a while (though I hope not for your sake). And until we realize that we can be free and really latch onto that truth. Then we just flounder about.
You are more important than that. So, how are you going to get out of the insanity... what are you going to do different (as D always asks)... time to change it up.

You too, JHE.... You were created for something better than that. We all were. 
Got to get to work. Have to do a voice-over on a forklift ********** presentation today. So, I get to stay at home where hopefully it will be quiet!
Have a great day everyone. We all struggle, but we can get through it. With each other, with God, with friends, with that tenacity to say no more.
