Congrats on 1 year Bob!! You going to do anything special to celebrate?

You too, Crois! I know how you feel about today being a significant day. I woke up on April 1, 2013 and said that's enough and joined SR and, even though I have had some relapses along the way, I still look at that day as a turning point in my life. Enjoy your day!! You've come a long way and should feel proud

Just went for a walk/run. I haven't been exercising enough this summer and I feel it. I just need to block out time early in the morning or in evenings when my husband can watch our daughter. Have gained 16lbs so far with this pregnancy!! Not so much worried about the weight, though. Mentally I need the exercise because it always makes me feel better and gives me that little bit of "me time".

Snoozy, glad to hear you are feeling better. Sad to hear about your patient

Thanks everybody for the encouragement.
This class and the people here really helped inspire me to keep sober.

I love the sunrise picture,Crois.
The Dory and Marlin picture is cute,Snoozy.
So glad you are feeling better.

You know sinus issues with definitely give you dizzy symptoms like that.
I know, I sometimes suffer from terrible allergies.

Yes,I am in my screen house and it's a lovely morning.
Nice cool clear day with the birds singing all around. I think I will spend a great deal of time outside today. It is a peaceful place to reflect on where I've been and where I am now.

SnoozyQ

These days were the beginning of your drinking end . They deserve to be significant . Well said Ladybug , oh and what's my excuse for gaining 16 lb ..I have no baby !

Don't even go there Crois! Leave my fur hocks outa this !

resolute50

Oh,and Crois.
I'm very glad we are sober twins.

SnoozyQ

Oh ! Good grief .... Fur hocks ...FUR HOCKS ........?????? :

Damn predictive text

Actually may well have been a Freudians slip ! My hocks are furry at this time of the year !

Please don't thank me for sharing ! I'm happy to .

Croissant

Thanks Ladybug, it's nice to know others understand why that day is important to me. From day after day of just probably hating the rotten wheel of drinking I was on, to just stop cold and not drink for those first months was massive.

So to think I've spent a year mostly sober, when the 3 years prior to that basically were drinking every single day is massive to me. I think I had 4 or 5 days sober in early 2011, but it was some fake, oh, if I can stop drinking during the week, ok, the problem mustn't be so bad.

Good on you. Endorphins are amazing, and I definitely think walking every day, getting outside and just kicking my metabolism is so good.

It's something that's free, and if you are lucky enough to be able to get out and walk, you should do it (omg I sound like my grandma!).

Croissant

Me too, and it's Dees birth day...what an orcas sun.

(Yeah, I thought I'd leave my predictive text for you, snoozy!)

It's nice to know I share a special sober day with someone else.

Snooz, fur hocks....lol.

Croissant

Oh, Bob....the pic is a sunset. It's right near where my grandma actually used to live and I lived on the beach around to the right of there.

I used to fish off that jetty.

SnoozyQ

Was meant to be Fuchocs Crois ...lol NOT fur hocks ...but ...meh


When I had the ECG done yesterday , the girl wanted to put the pads on my ankles ! I said " believe me ! You don't wanna do that "

My little unicorn on my ankle looked like wooly mammoth

She was 29 years old and said she could beat me hands own , I said " no way " then she lifted her pant leg ...she won !!! We went into hysterics , she made me feel so much better
Lovely girl


See we always should expect the unexpected , just like when our mothers told us to wear clean underwear in case we were in an accident !!! Haha

Third time I'm trying. I know I should forgive myself, and in time I will. Now I've come to the conclusion that this can't continue like this. I had time to recover myself for this whole summer because feelings of anxiety (I quit my job to recover myself), but what did I do, I drank and helped myself with alcohol and tried to hide my feelings... Every single morning I woke up with hangover those feelings come back more intense and I feel bad.

I took part in the January class for good two months but relapsed, then I joined the march class but I just didn't care, I was a fool..

Now I'm trying again, first step is to be 30 days sober and start exercising and eating healthy, after that I will look into my feeling and live day after day. I congratulate every on here for making this decision. I know I can't continue like this, drinking myself to blackout couple of times a week. I'm starting my studies in a month, so I don't want to be this person when I start them. I hate alcohol, still I drink it.

I'd like to join class of July

SnoozyQ

Hi there Kakanola

You seem to me that you have had enough . You're on the love / hate relationship with alcohol and looks like you are well and truly ready to leave it behind .

We are the one year sober July class from 2013 so you can see it really can be attainable , truly . I never thought i would be able to get to a year , but my friends and i in this class have done it .you can too

You are very welcome to join our class and you may want to join the July 2014 class as you will be having similar feelings , symptoms and emotions that people who are in early recovery can share .

I promise you , you can do this !!

You really can , good luck Kak

I'm sure our lovely Dee will put up the link for you

Happy Sunday/Monday everybody.
I've been thinking. Now if anybody ask I can say I haven't drank in over a year.
Might be one day over, but still over a year...knuck...knuck.

We have some storms moving through this area.
So the weather is not so great today.

Croissant

Guilty as charged.

resolute50

So..where is everybody?

Snoozy,did you go to the doctors yet?
It's Monday,it's raining hard and I'm at work.
So what did everybody do this weekend?

I basically worked in the yard,hung around in the back yard most of the day.
Then cooks a rack of ribs on the grill along with some corn on the cob.
Had a camp fire and ate lots of ice cream.
Yesterday was kind of a wash out from the rain so we watched a lot of TV and walked the dog when the rain stopped.

Croissant

I'm just quiet after a hectic week, Bob.

Have posted elsewhere around the site.

I slept on the weekend. A lot. I had some really hectic and late nights last week, so yeah.

Took the car out for a run on Sunday. My sis got engaged.

I assume Leshar's off rehearsing and things are getting at the pointy end and quite intense.
