End of my work shift. Great crew! Super fun and upbeat. Totally makes up for last night's crew. Day off tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be nice so I'll get in a bike ride and a trip to the beach with the dog.

Hi Siesta,
It is inspirational to hear how you let talk of drinking fall away from you like water from a duck's back. I still feel uncomfortable at work-related events at which alcohol is served. It is not so much that I want to drink as a shapeless sense of anxiety, and of being socially confused. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi, Mel. it is good to see you! I walk to music. Some songs are fast, so I cut the beat in half and crank up the incline. The rest of the songs are average, so I reduce the incline by 1%. Eventually I want to hit the max incline (12%) and increase my speed at least by a little (I'm not a runner).

Then try to find a homeless man to give to. We have a bottle depot near my office. He would get $10 - $20 every couple of weeks from me. I think my wife would sometimes go in the garage and count the empties. Couldnt fool her.

Hi everyone. Home sick today. Reminds me that I used to drink when sick just as usual. How messed up is that? Just one f the many signs that I needed to quit drinking. Day 82. I may be sick but I'm sober!

Hi Peanutty, Congrats on your 82 days.
I would take a cold over a hangover without doubt. And with 1 and 3 year old grandsons, papa has had more than his share of colds this winter. Where do those little buggers get a cold so often. And why do they want to hug and kiss papa when they have a cold. Go figure

I hope you feel better soon. Your post reminded me of this AMAZING product that you can drink that makes you feel terrible such that you want to quit alcohol forever. The name of the product is . . . . ALCOHOL! :-)

Hi class! Happy to see you guys posting. I was feeling lonely. I'll catch up later, it's my 2nd 39th birthday today. Took yesterday and today off. Going to breakfast by the beach with my son, then dinner with hubby tonight. I told hubby it's my birthday week so I got my nails and hair done as a gift to myself yesterday.
I've gotten lots of offers to come out from friends and offers from not so close friends that they'll buy me a beer for my bday, so I'm avoiding the whole scene still. To be honest, I don't trust myself yet, which scares me. I feel like I should be past the temptation stage from peer pressure already. I suppose if I had a plan in place for those situations I would probably be ok but I don't want to get caught off guard.
