Welcome shenzi and jeni.
Waking up need coffee. Thought I had something to say. But need coffee. Looking at three weeks on the other side of christmas. Dealing with a little holiday stress in the house. Finally got some things accomplished last night but some gifts will be late. There are worse things in the world. Ok gonna hit the coffee button if I can just get out of bed!

Welcome Shenzy and Jeni! 
It is fantastic you are here. Shenzy, an ice skating party! Your daughter. Must be excited.
Jeni, two years is amazing, what's better is that you immediately popped in here after your stumble. Don't focus on the negative, focus on turning that into an even stronger resolution. It is absolutely great you are quick to stomp out that fire.
I like what you said about the crayons Seasky
Good morning, or evening, wherever you all my be in the world!
Have a positive day, and treat yourselves kindly.
Edit: Bigshoe, I've got late gifts coming myself, but indeed better then nothing, he he. Coffee....mmm

Welcome Shenzy and Jeni - I love how are class is growing!
Day 18 for me - looking forward to being sober while preparing the house and food for Christmas. Maybe I'll remember everything this year.
A balmy 45 outside today. Rare for December in norther Illinois. Loving it except for the dogs muddy paws.
Final grocery run today for a couple last items then cleaning and cooking.
Enjoy classmates.

Hi guys, and thanks for the welcome. I've decided to check in here twice a day so you will all be sick of me in no time.
I am going to make tomorrow my official day 1. I've not drunk today but as I didn't stop until the early hours of this morning I can't claim to be sober all day. I was still drunk this morning and when that wore off I felt sick, shaky and had that awful acidic feeling in my stomach. What was I thinking? It was never gonna end well when I picked up again.
My H quit with me a few years back and he isn't doing it again this time. He picked up a big bottle of scotch tonight. The temptation of having it in the house is something I haven't had for a while. So sad.
I'm off to bed now. Sweet dreams everyone.

Today is my 20th day! Holy crap... never thought I'd make it to 2 weeks and I'll be at 3 tomorrow! ! I officially took step 1 with my sponsor today and im about to walk inside to my 2nd meeting of the day.
My husband's drinking buddies are coming over tonight so I thought I'd be extra prepared. Happy Sober Tuesday Decemberites.

Hi everyone,
So sad! My family were over and were careless and left my door open ( I wasn't home) my budgies flew away because they got scared of my brothers dog.
I loved them so much, they were so cute and had such adorable little personalities.
Anyway, I looked for them, left their cage outside in case they flew back, then I went back outside and someone stole their cage, it's so cold here and I'm sure they didn't make it through the night.
I feel so bad.

Jsbodhi...I'm so sorry! 
Jeni...I check in here multiple times a day and I'd love the company!
And hi to everyone else, I've been reading everyone's posts and get so much encouragement from y'all!
Y'all, we're coming to the end of December which means Dee is gonna move our thread to whatever that other forum is!?!?! It's like we'll be graduating or something! Hee!
For me, this is nothing short of a miracle. I started this journey December 6 not really knowing what I was getting into. I still don't know much, but I do know that I CAN live sober (something I seriously questioned before). This is hard and I'm still struggling but there's a lot to be said for having a day with no regrets and being alive.
Hugs and much love to every one of you.

Jsbodhi, too bad about your birdies.

Erin8 good luck tonight with all the men drinking tonight. See it inan honest light and probably won't look appealing.
Rainy night here. Want to watch a movie. Thinking bird man or the imitation game. Really want to watch a movie. W wants to clean but she's drinking so probably will never happen. Lol

@Jsbodhi - I hope your birds came back! I'm sorry that happend. I worry also when family is over and how careless they can be at sometimes. Just remember to not drink my friend!
Worked half day today and had a business lunch. It's 80 degrees here in Los Angeles so it's not very Merry except for the fake snow at the outdoor mall...Ho Ho Ho!
Does anyone get nervous before going into an AA meeting?
Also, how do you guys curb the anxiety, I feel good after I work out but then as the evening draws near I find it hard to leave the house to go to an AA meeting. If I had someone to go with that would be better.
Did anyone get pain at the end of their toes? Like pins and needles.. what's that?

Hi everyone. Just popping in quickly.
Feeling kind of awful. I've been eating a lot. Really can't wait for the holid as to be over.
can't stop thinking about my failed marriage and these huge changes in my life. Work has been slow and I've been trying to do things to comfort myself, but I'm getting myself in pretty deep with credit cards. The move was expensive, and I'm just being "nice" to myself but I really have no money. It's stressful, lonely, and scary.
I hope you're all doing better than me at this point. I hope I'll be doing better soon too.

I think it's normal to be a little overwhelmed Plenny - you've had some pretty massive changes lately.
If money is tight you can always draw up a budget - you'll be back to where you want to be there in a little while
The really important thing is to stay sober - you can get through this.
Drinking would really make it that much more harder for you to get back on your feet.
