Present, ..... Hope you had a great 45th Birthday yesterday !!!! 
Sending good vibes your way on the new job possibilities, ...that sounds like a great position.
Since it's my weekend starting today, I'll have to go to some local meetings to pick up a the 90 day chips they give away locally. You guys have been the most important part of support the last three months, and I wanted to tell you all how much everyone of you has meant so far on this journey.
Sure, I might've been able to get here without being a Class of Fools member, but I'm sure it's been a whole lot more fun , and made my travels easier, for sure.
Thank you again,
TS

LOL , .....they say , if you carry it with you , and ever want to drink, ..it helps to pop it in your mouth and wait for it to dissolve.
I've never used this method , but some folks claim it's fool-proof. No Class pun intended

It's been a long day for me here, glad to be home. We're just going to have a simple tea tonight (beans on toast), then water the garden, do a bit of laundry, them heading to bed.
It's Friday tomorrow, is everyone prepared for another sensational sober weekend?
ST, hope you're prepared for your appointment, try to make the absolute most of it. I'm probably more excited about it than you are, I hope you come away from it having learned something useful.
I also want to echo Topspin, this class of Fools has been the making of me on this journey. So just want to say thank you to every single one of you.
See you later.

Present - that's really neat about EMDR. It looks like my therapist has some special machine or something, for it? Also, this sounds like EFT, AKA tapping! I always thought that was some strange new age type thing (but I love those kinds of things, lol) Anyway, it definitely is different.
Dee - I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. it's true, we just can't save everyone.... all we can do is our part, and after that, it's up to them and their circumstances.
ST - I'm glad that you're not giving up. I know it's hard. Very very hard. Especially when you have years of mental programming - a lot of negative mental thoughts and ideas in your head - you can't change them all overnight. You just can't. Persistence is the most important thing. As long as you persist. Things might be messy and difficult and really, really suck - but just never give up, ok? All the tiny little changes will eventually start to make a difference. Even though it might not seem like that right now. I promise you, persistence will pay off. Just never give up. *hugs*
So I haven't had a drink yet. I have to say, about the dream thing. It's not that I thought that dreaming about it would CAUSE me to drink. I was just noticing a pattern, is all. Especially when you combine that with the fact that I was saying the exact same things in my blog before I drank last time, as what I was saying in my latest blog entry... I was like... I hope this is not a pattern. I guess it's a correlation thing. But, I was more prepared this time. And at this moment, I can say that I haven't had a drink. I'm thinking about it a lot, but... I haven't. So.

Although alcohol has always been a problem for me, when I was much younger (late 1980's) I was addicted to meth. I STILL have dreams about it. It's really annoying.
