Briar and Arbor I'm glad you both chose not to drink. 
Sounds like you both got a lot done instead! I hope your son is feeling better soon Arbor.
My sick one is sleeping now. He's kept food down now for a good 3 hours or so. I hope he is out of the woods and it's not something that will get passed around. I've been going a little nuts sanitizing everything today a tummy bug is the last thing I want.
I'm going to take a nice hot bath and go to bed.

Hi Jack! Glad you're back!
ChickChick - I hope you don't get it. The only thing worse than sick kids is dealing with them when you're sick too. Oh god, I have stories almost as gross as my drinking stories!
Right now mine is a little demon. Combine the 'roid rage from the budesonide with the stimulant properties of the albuterol, and you basically get tantrums on speed. I had to get her into a wrestling hold to give her the last breathing treatment. Not super fun for anybody, but hopefully she'll be better soon.
You know, I thought alcohol calmed me down so I could deal with stressful situations, but in hindsight I think it actually shortened my patience significantly. I feel much calmer now dealing with rough situations like that.

For the first year that I quit smoking, I felt like the only thing that stood between me and smoking was a cigarette. That's pretty much how I feel at the moment about drinking. Not like someone who does not drink, but someone who is not drinking today.
30 days ago as a daily drinker, not drinking today would be unthinkable. SR and Octsobers, thanks for 30 days and here's to 30 more.
BTW, I haven't smoked in five years.

It bugged me a little, but I told myself I am responsible for myself and can't expect everyone else to change for me. I wasn't really tempted to drink, but I did think about it. I looked at a beer and thought about what it would be like to drink it. Well, when I say "drink" it, what I'd really do is pound two of them where no one could see me and then casually sip the third. Then I'd pound another and start hunting through cabinets looking for the liquor. That's how I drink a beer.
So yeah, pretty glad I didn't have that beer.

Cos oh yeah, that's how I drink a beer, and wine.
One two three lift off...and then I am having oh so much fun and everyone is looking at me horrified. (Past tense, of course).
I walked past a beer sitting on a fence today...thought it must be empty.
Then I walked back and picked it up...it was half-full.
And I thought, how could anyone leave that? What a waste....oh the alcoholic mind...
I still have my job.
I still have not spoken to my boss.
Apparently he had a bad few days...and is very sorry, but still has not called me.
I have learned from this experience to try to NEVER let other peoples' behaviour effect me so negatively.
I didn't do anything wrong.
I am going to say over and over...their stuff not mine.
I missed you all a great deal today...
Huge hugs,
V xx

Venus glad your work situation has been sorted or at least on the right roads.
Feeling a little bit more positive this week a little less woe is me I can't get out of my head drunk anymore and a little more woo there is so much I want to try read watch there is no time to spend my time passed out or hungover. It's a little step in the right direction.
Hope you all have a great sober day

Right, I've been "smoking" madly on my vaper for the last 10 minutes now I've calmed down.
You'll all just have to imagine that i've replied to all your worries, troubles, concerns, successes etc with such dazzling insight and eloquence that you're all on cloud nine right now

400! Keep em comin, Briar!
Tiredofme I've got the same feeling, like I woke up after sleeping through the party. Now I'm playing catch up. Luckily, there seem to be more hours in the day than I had before.
Venus I'm so sorry for your boss's behavior. It would certainly have me worked up and feeling all kinds of irritated. But isn't it a relief when we can let it go? I'm still learning to do so.
I can't help myself... Click here for today's theme song. Lol
Enjoy your day, SR peeps!
