Lol, I was happy, until I realized I'm gonna have to go through the whole deal with add-on chat again. It took me 6 months to figure out how to jury rig it last time, I wonder if I can do it faster this time?
I think I'll just leave it alone for now
it's a big internet.
TB, frustrated with java but probably because she is hungry (see y'all? I do learn!)

Actually it was a new system, no old versions, I just couldn't get it to work. But I figured it out (& this time I wrote it down), so I'm back now--for good hopefully (again, lol). With a spiffy new little VM.
TB, doing alright once you balance out the pluses and the minuses

You too, Dee
Merry Christmas everybody.
A strange thing happened to me the other day. I don't have a phone, so somebody got worried about me and came into town to see how I was. I got 'kidnapped' for a few days, and had a nice Christmas with an adopted family. It was real nice.

Actually, if they'd written first, I wouldn't have gone. I wouldn't have thought I would enjoy seeing other people be with their family. Would have thought it would be painful to see.
Heh, what do I know about anything, since I have proven I know nothing about what I like.

Hi everyone. Back at work after a few days off. Just been busy with family and traveling for the holidays. Had a great Christmas and reminds me how grateful I really am. I owe it all to my sobriety. What a gift.
Hope you all are well, and wish you all a blessed 2013.
Glad you had a great "surprise Christmas" TB. The promises keep coming true.

Happy New Year everyone. My wife and I went out with three other couples on NYE for a very nice dinner and then went to a live concert. Very nice. We actually stayed out until 2 AM!!! That is unreal for us since we are usually in bed by 10 PM. 
We live a fantastically boring life. haha.
Of course, our kids were still up at 7 Am the next day, so we were tired but not hung over. What a blessing. Spent New Years Day at my parents new house on the lake snowmobiling and pulling kids on tubes. My brother and his family came up for the day. What a great day NOT being hungover.
Every day I am more grateful for my sobriety and this new life I have. What a blessing.
Hope you all are well, and happy 2013!!!

No Dee, not kidnapped.
New Year's Eve started with me wanting to surprise people by taking the bus/walking to an AA friend's house that I cannot usually get to. I arrived to find another friend had passed a half hour before.
Then I got sick. Then I got panicky because I need every possible day labor job I can get to pay rent for Feb, and every day I was sick was a day I was risking not having somewhere to live. The two played vicious circle till today, I got to see someone who might be able to help me with some of it.
We'll see what the outcome of is.
TB, kinda relieved to reach end of rope she was sliding down, tbh

Just wanted to check in, friends. How are all of you doing? All is well here. Cold, but that is to be expected in SD in January.
My wife and I are leaving Friday morning with 5 other couples for some adults only time in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Should be a blast to get away and relax for a week.
I hope this finds all of you well and enjoying sobriety!

Doing well, sobriety wise, here.
Didn't manage to get enough work during January, and it turns out you need a child to get assistance with rent (???) so this is my last post from a nice warm apartment. I am sure things will work out as everybody keeps saying they will. I wish they would work out faster, but it is truly God's time. I should be packing up (nowhere to put everything, so I am just going to tidy it up and walk away a la Lot) and finding a safe place to sleep, but instead I'm dilly dallying on the internet... yep, I hate change.
The funny thing in all this is now I am truly convinced there is no point in drinking for me at all. It doesn't even occur to me regardless of how stressed I get or how frustrated I get with these agencies and so on.
Take care y'all,
TB, still hanging in there
eta: ps, I have figured it out y'all. Getting the flu last year caused me to get fired, getting the flu this year caused me to fail to get enough work days at the day labor lot. 'Getting the flu' is my problem, I need 'Flu Anonymous.'
j/k ofc, but still.
