Good morning Marchers,
I'm back, safe, sound and SOBER. Yeeeyyy
Feeling on top of the world.
I haven't posted because I couldn't log on using my tablet for some reason, but I've been "lurking" as a guest all week. You've been very busy with milestones reached, problems and tribulations shared and eased, goals achieved, advice asked for and given and much love shared.
I had a fantastic week with my family. (Mother, father, sister niece and nephew) They were so pleased to see me sober and smiling, with a new found inner peace and contentment that they haven't seen in years. I showed them some posts from SR and they could genuinely see how it has helped me.
All those years of letting them down were AGAIN forgiven. I really don't deserve it. I'm so lucky to have such wonderful people as my family. It makes me even more determined not to let them down again.
And I've missed you, my cyber family. I think I'm on day 17
Thanks to you all for great advice before I left and, although I was only lurking, for just being there and doing what you do.
Lastly, welcome all the newbies. WE really can do this.

Sparkos!! You're back!!!
Just when I thought waking up after a good night's sleep with a clear head had made my morning, I read your post.
I saw a German Shep in the park yesterday and it reminded me of your avatar and what a challenge the ferry crossing was presenting to you.
And here you are, one day later very much present and not Missing In Sober Action.
Great to hear from you and on such great form too. Welcome back, fellow Marcher. You were missed! x

Just curious: what happens after the calendar flips to April…do we people who started in March keep posting here to this string?

I don't even know right now. Did MrFixit find those poker pictures? No? Oh well, probably for the best. I just want to unplug from the human race - - again - - such a bad idea, and yet, that's what I do. /end scattered rambling rant. I'll check in tomorrow. Be well everyone. Go to bed sober.

Really need to keep checking in on this forum. Its such a good form of support. I know that this is the right path for me and all of us. Just wish it wasn't so damn hard.

Thanks for the welcome back guys. Very sweet of you. I almost suffered death by licking from my dogs. I've three dogs, four cats and a mad cow for a wife!!!
Aah the ferry. It turned out being very easy. I simply avoided the deck, (as per your advice) ignored the beast, (who kept reminding me where it was) surfed SR and reminded myself of the wonderful changes that are already happening in my life.
Hope everybody has a great weekend.
Peace.

I'm sure Mrs Sparkos is lovely. Especially if she stands by your sobriety

Thank you! Looking forward to my first sober weekend in a long time--can't even remember the last one! Of course I have personal and family issues going on, as everyone does. But I am facing them with a clear head!
