Hi guys
Glad you're all doing well.
Jeni like yiou I'm slowing working my ways throught the steps but need to get a new sponsor Finding that difficult.
Job Strange to hear someone so excited about a hurricane, you need to speak with WWG he's so worried and anxious. Keep safe.

Jobei Thinking of you and hope this hurricane passes without too much damage. Stay safe, thinking of you.

Well even the most severe hurricane is nothing compared to the storm I lived in daily while I was drinking...! So far my area hasn't been hit hard at all! Very grateful! Thanks for your kind words!

Hi everyone
Jobei Glad you made it through the hurricane safe and sound. Watching the news lately and my heart really does go out to the peolple affected by the hurricane. Just awful!

Hope everyone else is enjoying soberiety, even with it's ups and downs.

Take care.

Hello everyone! Thanks for the kind words... it's been a little nutzoid around here this last week. My favorite vacation spot, Atlantic City New Jersey, really took the brunt of this storm and my prayers go out to all of its inhabitants. Many people that worked all their lives to buy homes there have lost the majority of their possessions but by the grace of god the amount of lives lost is very small in comparison to the magnitude of this storm. Things can be replaced afterall!

I am really enjoying sobriety! Many old timers told me that things would continue to get better in my life the more time that I put between myself and my last drink. Well you know what? They have been right about that and many other things! Hope all is well with everyone this fine morning and god bless you all!

Wel Job, you sound mighty chirpy today, great to hear how positive you are!! xx

jobei

Well Jeni... I finally met someone special. Got some of those warm/fuzzys. She's been sober 5 years... what are the chances?!

Jeni26

Ooh, how lovely!!!

So happy for you!!

Isn't it strange how life turns up these miracles once we get sober?!

You really ought to have sent her over to your English sisters so me and Hypo could have interviewed her to see if she is good enough for you......

Enjoy every sober minute of it xxx

jobei

Maybe we'll come visit sometime soon... I've been planning a trip over there for a while now. I know you two would approve, she's a very kind and loving person... it is truly amazing... right when I was going to give up... !

Jeni26

I'm so very happy for you, you really deserve it! xxx

jobei

jobei

Oh today is 8 months sober btw March 3rd seems like a different life. One that I can do without!

Jeni26

Congratulations on 8 months!!

You and Hypo are so inspiring to me!!xxx

jobei

You're an inspiration to me too! I'm so grateful to have this forum!

jobei

I remember in the early days when the cravings would come I'd think of you all here and it would give me such strength to endure! Still does.

Hey everyone, long time no see. I am out of rehab and starting to realize that it won't be a cure all for what ails me. I had a little trouble just last night and this morning, but I made it through alright by just forcing myself to sleep. I learned a little more about addiction and a little about myself as well. I think that I have a good idea on how to proceed from here, I just have to wait until the 17th till I can do it as I am still on lockdown. Thanks for the good thoughts whilst I was away and I am glad to see everyone trooping along.

Also congrats on the girlfriend (hopefully not the wrong word choice on my part) Jobei don't do anything I wouldn't do
