Great Job, Scooter! I hope you can get out and enjoy yourself today!
Every time I work an evening shift I have a moment where I think of coming home to a drink. I used to have a hard time winding down and binge on take out, netflix and beer. I still jump in PJ's and eat takeout and watch Netflix. It's easier and easier to redirect my thoughts. I'm not missing anything, and the Chinese food delivery guy can testify!
This morning I'm grateful for:
the Chinese food delivery guy
having third and fourth and fifth chances in life
so many tools and avenues to get myself turned around in a better direction
a soft landing spot on SR
Love to you, TeamAugust!

Hi everyone, well done class for keeping on keeping on, unfortunately I couldn't stopfor more than a few days since the first slip in late October, its resulted in me spending or wasting money I had planned to spend on a new vehicle on drink. Im now broke but sober, back in AA joined a 12step/recovery course which is meant to be a typ of rehab on wheels and re-entered therapy sessions, please let this be 'it' -my mind or body can't take much more abuse.

Thanks for coming back 1Step! Cute- enjoy some Green Tea with you sushi!
Looks like I'm going to end up accelerating my training a bit. I signed up for a trail running weekend retreat a week following a 15k race. I'll be part of a small group getting advice from some pretty serious endurance athletes and learning the nuances of long distance technique, gear, race nutrition, etc.
The other opportunity is to begin to immerse myself in another community of like minded folks pursuing an exciting, challenging, and worthy goals. And basically, pushing beyond previously self imposed limits.
I continue to be proud of each of you!

I have been MIA today as work was busy and then I went for a meal with friends
All is good, need some sleep though. Very glad it's the weekend and a sober Saturday wake up to look forward to!
I will post more tomorrow
1step it's good to see you back

Greetings!
1Step, I was very happy to see your post. Stick with us.
Pink! I love your hair; at this point light brown with blonde highlights is it for me.
Cute, happy you made it through the work week.
Rah, you've got this.
Ultra and Choobie - isn't it weird how we get that feeling that we will drink to celebrate, then realize we don't drink? It is not like I want the drink, it is just the fact that I associate it with certain things, like my annual physical.
OMG ! Big (small?) announcement!!! I am officially DOWN 22 POUNDS from my physical last year!
Like Pink, I would like to hear from all team members - the last time I heard from Chris he said he was fine, but very busy with his family, his parents, work, etc., but doing well.
I have heard from Max, but not for at least a week. It would be nice to hear from ClearEyes, Glandon, AppleKat, too.
There is another storm forecast for Sunday or Monday, and it might be another big one!
Take care everyone. Bug Hugs and Sweet Sober Dreams
