Oh that is awesome Conquest!!!
I have this movie all ready to watch...now that my sober time is building, I am sure I will find more hours in my day as well.

I think I'm feeling a little like you are right now tiredofme...there is so much good stuff to catch up on, huh?

Keep 'em coming Conquest. As you know from my "disappeared" post I don't connect with poetry, but I really like the loneliness one.

Venuscat, just keep on being Venuscat. Whilst you're on here, I'll never leave.

Ok Sparkos...we have a deal.
We're both staying.
Did I say how much I love this class?
I know....mooshy V.

Well, consider yourselves lucky you get the nice me...cos my BF sure didn't tonight.
I KNEW if I got sober again that I would no longer be able to put up with his crapolla.
It's hard. Hang onto someone you love who is breaking your heart constantly? Or say goodbye and have your heart broken anyway? Sigh. Yep. I know the answer.

But I also know that making too many changes in early sobriety is not the safest thing to do. I guess I know what will happen. When I am ready.

I need to go to bed.
I have a horrendous day ahead with a builder in my little flat fixing a giant hole under the sink. (In the wall). Apparently, it may take all day.

Nite all,

V xx

Leaving other ppls junk with them is something I'm learning, but it's helping me immensely I think. Everyone I've seen this morning is miserable. I'm ok right now, got a little sleep. Got a little hope. Will see how today plays out.

Quite right JL.
I like the analogy that "what other people think of you is none of your business"

Good morning class,

Venus, I'm relieved about your employment status, I hope the work environment improves for you (or else this good ole southern boy may need to go down there and adjust your boss's attitude)!
Tiredofme, I think it's a rather BIG step in the right direction. Yah you!
Sparkos, just imagining your eloquent ramblings has brightened my day...
And Conquest, as a Texan you can come with me Down Under to show Venus' boss how she should be treated. Just sayin....
Wishing a great Monday for all.

Hi all
Present and sober !
Such a nice morning. These hangover free early starts are turning out to be the most fruitful and unexpected benefits so far.

I hope all of us have a great journey today !
Thankyou everyone.

A bit of a rant about to happen from me, feel free to skip it. I'm hoping by getting it out I won't end up drinking this afternoon.

I have beeb feeling a bit guilty about a few things the past few days. Guilt has been a big trigger of mine. But I've felt I've been dealing with that feeling ok, just ok because I might just be ignoring it rather than doing anything about it. And really I'm ok with that right now as long as it doesn't lead to me drinking.
I've been worried about drinking today and am very annoyed. Annoyed might just be another trigger. We are supposed to move my Gran today, but my Mom said that last week also. And now I can't get a hold of her.... this happens quite often. I'm on edge enough about doing this anyway.... I have no idea when or if it is happening today. I don't know if I need to have plans for someone to watch my kids. I'm ready to get it done.
Then after I bragged yesterday that hubby said he wasn't going to have beer at home yesterday I got in my nice hot bath and what did my super human alcoholic ears hear? Him popping the top to a beer. My mind won't stop... how many beers did he get, how many did he drink, how many are left, where did he put them, I wonder if I can find them (even if I don't plan on drinking them.... right). I'm annoyed with him, annoyed with AV, and myself!!

If I wasn't here posting I'm sure I'd be drinking today. But I am going to stay sober today. Hubby is going to have to tell me about the beers. I'm going to tell him once again how him hiding them is probably worse than me knowing about them.

Counting down the minutes until this day is over....
Thanks for listening if you got through that mess! Just has to get it out. I'll be around a lot, until my Mom calls (if she does).

Ps. There are a few other things I find myself annoyed about today, but I was saving you all from more of my whining!

ChickChick, I'm sorry your Monday has had a rocky start. I hope you'll hang around here today and post often as need be. The honest truth is that there are days for me where the best part is getting in bed that night!
Dontlookbacchus, it looks like you're doing well...and JL has some good things going on too. That's the positive note for the day.
