(((Briar))) Of course!
I didn't say anything, because I thought everyone else's words of wisdom were perfect.
I used to go to AA very regularly..one of my friends was a police officer.
There were quite a lot of law enforcement people....this disease does not discriminate.
Everyone in that room is there for pretty much the same reason...the anonymity part?
For me, that means what happens in the rooms stays in the rooms.
As long as you never discuss someone's personal stuff outside of that sanctuary, all is OK.
Love V xx

Well said, Venus. I agree. It's all good, Briar. Don't let someone else's negative consequences affect your positive efforts.
Hey everybody, If you're a big music fan, the weekenders thread is a great place to be.
Evening 27 and I'm ready for bed at 7:30! I'm feeling old but don't care either. Lol! Hang in there everybody. I will too.

Just hang in there love, nervous and jittery is totally understandable in early sobriety.
As Dee said earlier...if you feel that urge, come and talk about it. We all understand. ♥
I'm doing well emotionally, but I am in a lot of pain today (tumor-wise).
So I'm taking it easy, and hanging out with all of you.

You don't have to share if you don't want to Venus, but this was something I didn't know about.

It's Post no 315 in the last thread (Part 3).
If that's OK....rather than say it again.

Just checking in. Hi Venus! Hi Popeye, glad to see you on here. Hi conquest. And everybody...
I have been really struggling today. It's been a pity me, the whole world is against me, I hate my life, I could cry kind of a day. I woke up this way, had a brief moment of happy and wound up back in yuck land. I'm not going to drink, I just wanted to share.
I'm going to bed (hopefully) and hopefully tomorrow will be brighter

Massive hugs Jennifer sweety.
Yep, it can be hard dealing with life sometimes without that buffer that we got used to.
We have to actually FEEL stuff.
Every day we go to bed sober is a good day...
That way, we always give ourselves the chance to have a brighter tomorrow.
There's an AA saying that I love:
"Poor me, pour me a drink".
Whenever I'm feeling sulky, I say it out loud. It always makes me smile....or at the very least, gets me off my pity pot.

Looks like we are all dealing with some heavy stuff right now. I hope everybody is doing okay and that these challenges will make us stronger in the long run. It's like a crash course in how to cope with life sober, right? Well anyway, hang in there guys, I'm off to bed. Talk to you tomorrow.
now's the time

Thank you, Venus & Stevie. I'm a little over-sensitive right now… getting too fatalistic with my mindset. I know it'll work out.
Thanks too BrighterDayz, for your thoughts. But also, I'm not minimizing the fact that I drank, or saying that I'm attempting to moderate… I mentioned it to be truthful, not to say that it was OK. I would like to be able to tell the truth here, there are so few spaces where I can.

I so get that fantail huny.
This is where I tell the truth too. All of it.
I am so glad that you can already see the light at the end of the tunnel here.
And having said that, I think we could all use a funny, so:

Thanks for the smiles, Venus! It reminds me of sober me vs. AV.
Silly me, I thought I'd go to bed early and sleep through the night. Now I'm awake at 1:30 with a brain that won't hush.
Briar, this certainly does feel like a crash course in coping! I saw this commercial clip and thought of my journey and my Octsober friends...
