Fine copper!
Y'all keep your cooties away from us and I'll do the cooking.

What'll it be? I think you said something about broth and applesauce???

castdown

Took 3 days off Internet/social media and focussed on being outdoors. Snow today so figured I'd check in. Still haven't touched alcohol. Lost count how many days. 2 weeks?(have done a year before but that was imposed by the court. Different motivation now)

Today has been rough but manageable. Seriously considered going for a pint. Last hurrah! Before my holidays end if you will. Fought it. Decided if I ever got tempted I would do my best to come here. For good measure had some tea as well. Sleepytime tea

Read a lot of relationship posts. Having recently gone through a breakup myself I can empathize how emotionally gut wrenching that is... Stay strong.

Well the tea is working. Nap time.

Stay cool.

Haha, oohh nooo. You're not getting off that easy! I'm feeling miraculously better all of a sudden. I think something extensively elaborate...

Copper442

Enjoy your nap, castdown. Props to you for staying strong

Hey guys, kind of a late check in today. I was reading elsewhere on SR this morning but guess I haven't been on since then. Day 5 almost done...
Feeling antsy. Probably because I didn't get in a workout today and I didn't do much but a few things around the house (cleaning, etc) and one quick errand. Now I'm trying to find something to watch and nothing is grabbing me. I may go back to my book but that's boring me too....
Ah, blissful boredom! It sure beats drinking too much and making a fool of myself and then feeling like total crap. I'll take my solitude and angst any day
Happy weekend y'all....

brynn

Way to go, cast!!
Have a nice nap!!

brynn

Hi kitty! I'll take boredom...peace, serenity, any of it over those drinking shenanigans, too!

Here's to solitude and angst!!

Tonks

Thanks for checking in Castdown, it's good to hear from you. Rest easy.

I'm not sure I'd trust anything brynn put in front of me. Kinda crazy, that one.

Copper, I do hope you're starting to feel better!

Midwest1981

Wow. Busy here today.
Shannon I'm glad you gave your house back.
FBL - so glad you are staying sober with all going on in your life. Ditto to what other classmates have responded. Tough stuff to go through.
Brynn, loving the banter.
Welcome Suzieq.
I hope you are feeling better Tonkd and Copper - big cooties going around.
Our class rocks. Sorry I could not check in through the day but it looks like you guys have it all covered.

FYI - I am getting to understand this AV concept. That you all for that.
I used to smoke when I was drinking and tried to tell myself that I really wasn't a smoker. Well with sobriety I had to address the smoking issue so boom, I looked that AV in the eye and said "NO." 4 days no smoking. Yippee! Boy, do I feel better.
The AVs for drinking and smoking were doing quite a dance with me and I feel so free and energetic.
Step at a time, day at a time, loving it.

Midwest1981

Welcome Suzie!

Good job BBQBiker on telling your AV no!

Happy Saturday night! Everyone is cracking me up here. It's like December class has the giggles. That's fine by me though can always use a lighter mood. Get well soon sick guys. I've been doing a lot of broth this year with bones and chicken feet. Ugly but delicious.

Cast down has the right idea me thinks. Get outside. Something I haven't done much of at all today. Spent some time cooking and cleaning with the SO. Can you believe she was stone sober! Not a drink of booze yesterday. It wasn't easy for her at all, I mean she works behind the bar at a restaurant. She came home and went to bed. I said that makes it easier not to drink. She didn't like that, I can't even mention booze when she tries to quit. When I quit she took me to beer amusement parks, had me pour her drinks, make cocktails,and drank like a fish around me. But I'll play by the rules to keep her sober too. We didn't argue at all the whole time we were together. Wonderful. She was super nice to me after hearing about a terrific friend of mine passed away today at 50 from cancer. Tragic. Talent, beauty, fire and energy. REst in Peace. Beautiful soul.

I'll be thinking of all you tonight, stay strong. I think i'm on day 30 with Midwest mariahgayle and Erin8 ¿. I only know i'm a day ahead of the triplets. That keeps me from having to count. Think I'll just go by months now until I can go by years. Thinking big!

brynn

Way to kick AVs butt, B!

Aw, Midwest!! Being an aunt is awesome I agree! So glad you got to spend time with your niece!

Hi stars and Shannon!!!

And I'm CHOOSING to ignore that last comment, tonks. Hey....this recovery stuff comes in handy for all kinds of situations!! Ha!

Does anybody have teams in the playoffs this weekend?

Midwest1981

We can be the quadruplets!! Hahaha. Just kidding. I really don't want to try and spell that word again!

Sorry to hear about your friend BigShoe.

brynn

Congrats bigshoe on 30 days!! You're a big kid now!!

Please accept my condolences on your friends passing. I'm so very sorry.

I have my fingers crossed that your wife will choose to stay sober. No arguing sounds lovely!

brynn

Midwest....y'all can be the quads! Short and sweet! I was just thinking that!!
