Toots is indeed approaching that age herself.

Good morning all, I can see that is has been a fun night even if you do insist on calling it day. As I got out of bed this morning (early) I actually thought I'm forgetting what mornings used to be like, I'm going over to Newbies to remind myself because I don't want to forget.
Have a good sober day and rock on.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, and thanks for the fun comic relief Chuff and all!
My plan of sleeping in didn't really work out. My daughter caught a virus and I took her in to the dr this morning. Not strep, but super sore throat and cough and chills. Poor thing! And it's finals week. She did get a note to skip the running test for today. Since its a virus, no antibiotic but he did give her a cough suppressant (pill) and a mouthwash to numb her throat. Not good timing to be sick with finals but she is tough!
I tried all day to get that sleep........but kept getting interrupted! Until this afternoon and had a 90 minute great long knock out nap! Weird dream though. It's strange, but I feel like I can't wake up in the mornings......like when I used to be hungover. I'm not liking that much and hope it passes soon.

NMS, I've been waking up in a panic for the past week or so, as if in withdrawal. I don't like it either. Hopefully this is just our brains hiccupping (I don't think that's spelled correctly). I'm sure it will pass. Sorry about your sick daughter too.
Sassy, So glad you had no problem passing by that nasty craving. What a nuisance!
I have to tell you all that I went to the new therapist. I only have white socks and one color of nail polish (boring, I know) so I just painted one toe on each foot cherry red and wore sandals. So at the end of the session, I pointed them out and he laughed. Not a "Oh, she's crazy" laugh, but hands in the air chuckle. So I made an appointment for next week. I do feel better having unloaded a bunch of baggage there.
Now should I paint the rest of my toes? Maybe go get a different color for them? I'm feeling adventurous.
Have a good night/day.

Morning Marchers
Hope your Daughter gets better soon NMS.
Well done on fighting those urges Sassy
Joygirl sounds like you have found a therapist with a sense of humour, thats gotta be good.
Hope everyone has a good day/night, and that we all hear from absent friends soon, i.e. Mr Beagle, Snaggle, Natts, Northlander, Buddink, Lifetplant, Panache, Daisy, Texas, Clight, JimJim and many many more missed Marchers.
But if not then I hope that you are all well and looking after yourselves, thinking of you all.
Love Mick x

1day, you like rain showers?? Come to flipping Scotland,my of will see nothing but! That said it is lovely and sunny today! 
( I wish, I have work today!)
NMS I hope your girl feels better soon and manages her exams

Marcher,Joygirl , great idea to visit the newbie sight, it keeps us focussed on our aims and you re able to help them so much with your own experiences.
Chuff, like you I wonder where all our absent friends are, and how they are doing. I hope some read this and reach out to say hi.
Have a good day all

Hi all, checking in. All is good with me, just been lying low. Thankfully still no urge in the slightest to drink, I know it's still v early days for me, but it just seems so much easier this time, I just don't give it a second thought. Even had visitors from Scotland last week, well, friends of my Mum so only met them for a few hours one night last week. My first trip to a bar though and my three soda, lime and bitters went down a treat
Toots, good on you for resisting that wine bottle staring you out, not sure I would have been strong enough yet to do that. Hope your back is feeling better and you managing to get some training in.
Shoes, I agree with Mick. There is definitely a difference between feeling sad and feeling depressed. Depression is an all consuming black with no vision, believe me, i've been there. Feeling sad is blue, there's an ability to still see the light, it's a good emotion, it's reflective, cathartic and helps us appreciate joy and happiness even more.
Talking of Joy, Joygirl, sounds like you've done well landing a therapist with a SOH, I agree, I think you can def gauge whether or not you're going to be able to strike up a rapport form the first meeting. Def multi coloured fluorescent nail polish for your next visit me thinks.
Mick I was always told a story about a blanket and a bodily function of the number 1 variety but that was to do with "thought" who peed the bed and blamed the blanket......ahem, please tell me i'm not the only one who was told that story as a child in reply to her continual smart arse replies, "but mum, I thought.......but mum, I thought,..................but why mum, I thought"!! Glad you got the extra Mon shift Mick, nice to have the extra pennies in the bank.
NMS, glad you managed to squeeze in a birthday nap in the end, nothing beats that afternoon nap. Hope your daughter gets better soon. I used to get tonsillitis all the time as a kid, used to completely floor me, did give Mum a bit of peace though as I actually shut up for a wee while.
Evening Marcher, don't be spitting that tea too far now.
It's funny, even though my sobriety time is obviously a lot more aligned with the May group, I do visit and read the odd time but I find I get more from this group. I find it more inspirational to read what you have all got to say and read about where you are now. It gives me something to aim for rather than just sharing the here and now with people at the same stage as me. Perhaps that's me being selfish by doing more of the taking from you guys than perhaps giving and sharing more of me with people struggling in the early days.
Alcoholism turned me into an extremely selfish person, I put getting that alcohol fix above and before anyone and anything. I hope in time and with recovery I can begin to give back to people even a portion of the love I have received from my fellow Marchers, present and past.
Love you all. xxx

Morning all, finally got to the bottom of my hubby's concerns he didn't realise AA was religious he has no religious views and after a frank talk it transpires he has a lot of anger his mum died when he was 18 and he has never recovered so looks like I have you guys for the moment !!!
I have a horrible cold / virus and feel awful have been off work today
and today I come here and say I am 100% committed from today to being sober I am doing this because when I drink I become powerless over alcohol and my life becomes an existence not a life waiting for my next drink and I not want to live like this anymore hugs to everyone ! And thanks to everyone you are all fab xxxxx
