Weird Q from me
Good morning Marchers!
Shoes Tuesday ended well so there is your heads up. 
So far Wednesday is going well too.
Here is my weird question: Please can you tell me I am not the only one? Leaving aside physical, mental and emotional changes has anyone noticed a difference in their handwriting? I promise you I am completely sober when I say this but I've noticed mine is more consistent, it hasn't turned into copperplate but it's less all over the place. Please tell me I'm not alone.

I had to go run and check! I hadn't noticed till you mentioned it. Nope, no big difference but I'm more of a printer anyway and that did look a little more cool to me.
Maybe it's all the writing you have been doing? I don't know, however I can't imagine drinking all the time improves handwriting.
Check your Wednesday newspaper and see if they reported the winning lottery ticket numbers for the US and report back to me. I'll split it with you

Hey wait a minute. I may use everyone's day count number for lottery numbers tomorrow. Send me your numbers Marchers! I've got tickets to buy!
Wouldn't that be hysterical. We could all be on TV talking about how we won our gazillion dollars like the people who all work together and pool. That would be an interesting story. Lets keep our screen names though just for fun.
I don't know about you but if I won a gazillion $$ with all of you I could care less about anyone knowing. I'd respect your decision though if you didn't want to be on the 5 o'clock news. You'd still get your share.

Tomorrow will be day 10 for me! Lucky number 10. C'mon, 360shoes needs a new a pair of shoes!
If you are the resident shoe person, Shoesey, I would nominate myself as the resident bag person. I like the handbags.

I feel like if I'm up front and honest, which would be both scary and liberating, I won't even be considered, but lying or trying to hide something can come to bite you as well.
I did get my last position even though I'd been fired from the previous one, so that's one positive thing, but still, this is just an awful thing to be saddled with looking for a job.
Any advice/encouragement welcome.

What's your goal...your hearts desire? What do you really want to do in life...other than earn a paycheck. Regardless of your age, education, and addiction, where would your dream put you in five years? If you're going to start your life anew then why not an education toward your dream job? Write down the steps it would take to get to that point so that it's no longer a dream but a reality.
I mean, you've made one really huge step toward your future...why not another. A job is just a job and we have to have them to survive but a passion could wrestle your demons to the ground and then stomp on them.

Black i'm so glad to hear your loved ones got out okay. It really makes you sit and reconsider how big your problems really are when acts like this happen. Can't imagine the emotion felt by the people who had to experience that first hand. Too cruel.

A man from my community stopped by my school today with a trailer full of flowers. He gave each employee a free basket/pot of gorgeous flowers or herbs. He said it was to remember the beautiful people who died, were injured, or loved someone in Boston. He said each plant represented life so that no one in Boston would be forgotten in our community.
Among all of the hatred and devastation in this world, life still blooms with promise and hope in the smallest of gestures which mean so much.
I'll cherish that plant a nurture it daily...keeping Boston in mind each time I look at it.

It's challenging and hard to make the decision cause there is no way to know how it will end up. It's just one of those things you just have to leap at in Life.. there is no other way to 'test' it. So both of you talking about your experience is helping me...
And Toots, I have also just moved home after 13 years 2 years ago. The relocation was very hard and I experienced everything you described: I left all my friends, my business, my relationship and had a very hard loss of identity. I tried to root here, build and date again, only to come home one day to find my boyfriend committed suicide on our couch.
So I think I'm not suppose to root here. Life has made this a pit stop and all roads are leading to the next location.
It's just been a little rocky detour...

Use that experience to help others...I don't know how right now but I do whole-heartedly believe that life is a lesson to be taken and shared with others. You may not have the opportunity for a long time but someday, you'll be able to use that experience to help someone/somewhere. You may not even know that you touched their life but the day will come.

Hi everyone! I am a Marcher and have been hanging out on SR every day but this is my first time posting on this thread. I'm trying to catch up on all the history but there is a lot! I have 26 days today. I am in my early 30s and mom to a beautiful little girl. I am determined to get sober so I don't put her through what I went through growing up in an alcoholic home. I am grateful to be here and look forward to getting to know all of you!

Welcome Briar and congrats on 26 days! I'm a 30-year-old mother of one beautiful daughter (age 5), so some similarities to you. Toots keeps track of all our comings and goings and may be able to provide one of her epic summaries of the Marchers to give you a head start.... This is a supportive bunch, so just jump right in and start sharing!
