These threads have been so funny lately. Courage, I want to have what you're having!
to answer your question, work is great. I was offered permanency today, a substantial raise, a promotion, the whole lot.
And on June 1st, I was 1 year and 5 months (minus 1 glass) sober.
I have made a discovery but like you do, I'll make it suspenseful and tell another time.
Hope everyone is well. Tanya, do you have more news? I do hope you'll be able to manage your condition as well as you did your alcoholism. xx

YAY, Dotty! Congratulations!
"Do you see a man who is skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men." (Prov. 22:29)
I knew your quality work would be rewarded!
Looking forward to hearing the big reveals!

Well done Dottie that's brilliant news, good you have some stability in your life after all the ups and downd of the last year. I am so happy for you Chérie, no one deserves it more.
Carlos, hugs my lovely, sorry you had a cr4p day.
Courage, I am all of a tizz, I will not be able to sleep tonight wondering what happened to Little Pink ( is he related to Lily The Pink Bike??)
GF, I agree with Gilmer, while there is no reason to halt your own personal growth in sobriety, you also need to accept that the relationship with hubby has been developing over a long time, and any changes resulting from your sobriety will take time.
Gilmer, enjoy the cookout tomorrow hun, I hope the weather is good for you. It rained here most of the day.
Checking out for the night guys so sleep tight, good morning, Yada Yada xxx

Ther cookout was fine. People brought lots of good food as side dishes. Everybody had a good time. I took periodic breaks to run upstairs and do a quick scan of SR! All was well, although for awhile they all started talking politics and I had to divert the conversation by "threatening" to go inside!

Dottie - Wonderful, wonderful news! I am so happy for you!
Gilmer - You sent the update before I could even ask. I'm glad tonight's picnic didn't have the additional dynamic of alcohol.
Kris - I'd get bored anchored into one spot on a lake all day long. Do the boaters at the end of your dock sleep there, too?
Courage - I hope that little mp3 player makes its way home!
BoozeFree - I'm glad the healthy eating habits are paying off.
Carlos - Rest easy, my friend.
Nothing too deep tonight. My younger son was a dynamo at baseball tonight. He had one of the best hits of the season. Then, in the last inning, playing 2nd, he and the shortstop got all three outs. The look on his face as the team headed to the dugout was priceless!!

Dottie congrats!
Gilmer glad you had a fun time at the cookout.
GF sounds like everyone else has mentioned some good advice to you
Carlos prayers for your friend! And hope tomorrow is better for you.
Tanja how are you feeling today?
I just realized today marks 60 days sober for me. I can't believe it's already been 60 whole sober days, wow. Looking forward to many more sober days to follow.
Work was really busy today and worked some over time today. Think I'll watch a little tv and go to sleep early.

BFree- Congrats on 2 months!!!
DP- Congrats on 17 months!!
I've kind of had a bit of a day... and not the good type. This morning, my ex sent me a text with a picture from the 'good old days' and a message about how he missed me and wondered what had happened between us. It just got me thinking about a lot of stuff... how back in the day we did have a lot of fun together and I miss those times too, how things changed, how I got clean and sober and he didn't, about the frictions living together and things that still make me upset if I get to thinking about it. And I feel guilty and upset thinking about how he misses me and knowing that he's taking it kind of rough.
I have to remind myself that things weren't going well between us when I asked him to move out. I feel confused. I feel hurt. I feel guilty.
Mostly I've kept so busy I haven't thought about it all that much, but the text from him this morning really caught me.
Then I got a nice iced coffee and was going to go for a walk in the park. I took one drink of my coffee, set it down for a second on a bench to re-tie my show and somehow knocked it onto the ground dumping the entire thing out.
And when I finally got home today, I found one of my cats has fleas.
Anyway, it's just kind of been a rough day. I feel off balance emotionally. Had a long drive home after the text from my ex and couldn't do anything to get my mind off of it: basically just had to sit there and I couldn't help but think about it.
Oh well. It's about bedtime. I can get a good night's sleep in my own bed and tomorrow will be a new day.

Good morning undies.
Another early morning instead of the beach just took my dog to the park so she could race around off leash and play some frisbee. Got home and still had a bunch of free time so cooked some veggies so that I don't have to do it when I get off tonight and will just bake the fish to go with them for dinner. Weighed myself this morning and lost 3 pounds since this healthy switch last Friday so I was happy about that. Of corse I don't psychically see a difference but I feel much better compared to before.
DG hope today is a little better for you.
Off to work I go. Look forward to some relaxing this weekend.
