Jodie I think there's some great tips in here for any social occasion:
Crying Out Now: Thanksgiving Survival Guide
If you haven;t been 'out' much I think it's natural to feel a little apprehensive...
just remember - you're in charge, not the voice in your head...and any idea that drinking can somehow be a good thing is a LIE.

Hi Augustrialites
I hope you're all good and well.

Good morning Hatzers
It’s taken hours for me to get on here this morning, I was beginning to think that the company had revoked Internet access as they do from time to time, but no, it must have just been running slow or something.
Just for info, as I’m not complaining, it’s another cold, grey day at 11c.
I didn’t sleep very well last night and it’s my own fault for saying yesterday that I am on a roll, so I’m a bit tired today, I realised it was late when I saw heath wrote she was off to bed as it was nearly 2 a.m!!!
Itchy, I do think your truck is very smart, that would be very useful for me.
Heath, it brought tears to my eyes just reading about that little dog, we’re so lucky when you think about it.
Re, painting my cast, now you know why I started here under the name of ‘Disgrace.’ I certainly lived up to it, the painted cast goes with the image of me secretly swigging wine straight from the bottle. Such a lady, I wasn’t! It’s like looking back on someone else now. So glad your cover does the trick, that will make such a difference. Is your wrist aching much?
LDT, I love that programme ‘So you think you can dance’ too, I enjoy anything like that.
What about a nice very pale yellow, a lovely cheerful summery colour but quite calm too, though my favourite colour is green.
HD3, come back later and tell us about your day, have a good sleep.
Morning Jeni and I hope life is treating you well.
Exp, still in our thoughts. Xxxxx
See you all later
Stay safe and sober
Gxx
Just for Today: My strongest desire is to have a spiritual awakening. I will watch for its symptoms and rejoice when I discover them.

Whoops, so obvious I was posting from work yesterday, lol, with the contents of my post on another thread, lol. Good thing I wasn't saying anything bad about any of you ( as if!)
I've had a very busy day, with not much spare time so I'l try and catch up a bit more tomorrow.

Life is just a bit hectic at the moment between my Dad and a cranky 3 year old with chicken pox.

'Morning all and we have another beautiful, sunny one, just right for my little g.daughter's 4th birthday party, just a shame my boy can't go with his chicken pox.
Have a great, sober Sunday all.

Hi again all and happy Tuesday to you all, I hope you had a great week end. After the sunshine on Sunday, it the went back to cold and rain on Monday and today is the same.
I've had a few whispers from the A.V over the last week or so telling me to go get a small bottle of vodka, 'cos I could mix it with fruit juice and no one would be able to smell it!! God knows where that came from, I didn't drink vodka anyway, can't stand the stuff, just shows how the A.V works, I'm not falling for it though, I can't, I won't go back to how I was this time last year, no way!
Anyway, I'm off to do a bit of work.

Good Morning Everyone and Happy Tuesday !!!!!
Yahhhhhh Whooooo-----I made it thru an outdoor wedding and reception and a night at the casino and did it all without booze !!!! It is day 86 for me and I'm very proud to say so. Trust me---that AV tried to tell me to go to the rest room and tip up a straight shot of vodka but, it didn't happen. Gosh what a challange cause I'm sure I could have gotten away with it. Everyone was pretty much drinking and celebrating hard. Anyway--Hope everyone is doing fine and had a great week-end.

Just having my last break of the day, I only get 2 10 minute breaks and 30 minutes for lunch per day so making it quick.
Thanks Dee, I wasn't that polite to it, lol!
Babs, you did yourself proud in the face of such temptation, I'm proud of you too. 86 days is a massive achievement.

Hi All
Work function was quiet last night.
I actually noticed how many people weren't drinking.
There were no comments about me not drinking ... until I returned from the bar with a cup of green tea
... hanging with the pregnant collegue a good strategy
Saw specialist yesterday. Ok news about my hands (degeneritive vertebre which is compressing on nerves affecting function of hands) shouldn't get worse which is good and have back up strategies if it does. Doctor says I shouldn't do impact activities uch as touch or running hmmmmm.
My life is sooooooo quiet ATM ... must be the cooler weather.
Travelling for kids sport this weekend , it will be nice to get away for one night.
That AV is a cheeky little bugger hey Grace ... I never drank vodka either .. but actually have had the same thoughts once or twice. Maybe it 's all the post s I have read about.
JUst a quick check in. Will hopefully have some exciting stuff to tell you about. I will hopefully get to play touch tonight if it is not washed out.
Anyways
Take care
Jodie

Good morning August family
Really hot here today at 12c, phew I’m going to have to take my scarf and hat off, lol. Just joking!
I’m a bit tired today as I didn’t sleep well last night, kept waking up with my mind doing overtime. Got the date for the court hearing re custody of my G.son, 18th June so not too long to wait.
You’re welcome Babs, we’re all in this walk together. Xx
Jodie, all that worrying you did about that function and you were fine, I knew you would be. Very useful having a pregnant friend too, lol.
I’m glad that the problem with your hand is nothing too serious, bit of a nuisance though with your running and touch.
That is really strange re the thoughts about vodka, it completely took me by surprise, I wasn’t expecting that at all and what’s more since I’ve mentioned it on a couple of my other threads, a couple of my friends have said that they have had the same experience!! The A.V moves in mysterious ways!
Hey and a quiet life is good, I wouldn’t mind one!
See you all later, work is calling.
Stay safe and sober
Gxxx
Just for Today: I will rely on God's care through the painful times, knowing that my Higher Power will always be there.

Is that you Jodie? I didn't imagine you to look like that!

JUST FOR TODAY, I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
