Jojo you rock! Losing that weight and freezer cooking. I love freezer cooking and meal prepping.

Day 55 ending here. Had a nice day to myself. Felt a bit lonely here and there. I want to force myself to go to an aa meeting tomorrow. I just need to not make it a big deal. I see my therapist on Friday. Ive had a fww thoughts of my ex but I also feel that im probably just out of my comfort zone of constantly obsessing over our ups and downs. Now that I dont have to do that anymore its prinetime to focus on the little changes id like to make within my self. So far so good

Congrats to every1 reaching milestones and getting back on the horse when you fell off!

James Squire is dead !

Well I hope he and his mates are.

James Squire is the last brand of beer, I had over Christmas 2014 in copious amounts.

Tomorrow will be 49 days without JS and his alcoholic mates, so I hope JS is no more. He and his mates have wasted the best of the last two years of my life.

But please keep calling me James as a reminder to me why I'm here.

Love reading how everyone's going, Jojo you're an inspiration.

Cheers

Good morning and thanks for your inspiring stories of turning things around with alcohol! I finally have a well deserved day off of work today. Days off are the days I have to worry about, but I'm confident I will resist any temptation today.

I'm going to do this!

Hey! Hey!!

Day 40! I am so happy! I don't want to say I can't believe I've made it this far, because that really discredits myself. But I'm just so happy for each and everyone of us who are on this sober journey.

Making roast chicken/potatoes/carrots & onions. I did my gym routine, came home showered and then ran out and bought my chicken etc. Now I'm home, my house is a mess and I have Roper hair all over. But I have today off, and I'm just going to widdle away and get things done. I work the next 6 days so I'll get my ducks in a row today.

Have a great day everyone!

Jojo

Evening everyone, checking in.

Thank you Dee (and Anna) for your personal and technical input on this thread.

Congratulations on your test results Teebee - you must be very relieved.

LLG6 Glad you're coping and staying strong

Well done on killing James Squire, James, good work. I agree with what you say about Jojo too

Enjoy your day off Wayward

I saw some green shoots in the park this evening - spring is coming

LLG6 -hang in there - I'm sure it's different without your ex. Getting to a meeting will probably be a good idea.

James - Never knew it was the name of a beer. Glad you kicked the JS habit.

It is STILL cold here - Ok i don't mind the cold but it's getting a little bit tiring. I wish I saw some green shoots or buds. I'm really happy we have a YMCA with an indoor pool. I hoping that I can hit that this weekend with my girls and get out of the house a bit. My SO is at a cheer comp with my 13 yo in Texas for the weekend so I'm alone with the 3 which should be fun. I see a sleep over in my room one night. I'm lucky that the girls are young enough to still want to do that.

Happy Thursday everyone.

My favourite was called 150 Lashes and it felt like had been given 150 lashes the night before by the morning.

Glad to be sitting here with a cup of tea and a clear head.

Going out with some of the boys tonight but these guys don't worry if I don't drink. I'll drive!

Have a good day everyone.

I am very grateful for every night I fall asleep sober and wake up without a hangover. 40 days sober.

40 days is great D and MyShadow!

How are you doing Sisterbobby? Cravings passed?

Late here - got my daughter packed for a trip to Texas and had a talk with my son who's having a rough time. He has anxiety and issues with controling it when he gets into sports situations. When he knows he's good he does great - when he's trying to prove himself he falls apart. He last it at practice and is now home angry and sad - poor kid - I wish there was something I could do to help.

Have a good night everyone.

Made hamburgers and tatter tots and drank diet pop for dinner tonight. In bed with Moe with water at the bedside. Avoiding AV today and tonight was doable. Having a great time with sister...I haven't been the the races in years, lost a few bucks...not much..

Glad to hear about all doing great, have a good night.
44 days

Home from the boys night out, no alcohol for me.

Just re-read my 'James Squire is Dead' post and realised I was trying to blame someone/something else for my woes. It wasn't the beer that was responsible ... I am responsible for myself.
Sorry needed to get that off my chest!

Saoutchik ..... Aust vs NZ tomorrow. Should be a good game.

For those wondering what we're talking about,

Good morning. Made it through my day off yesterday without any real serious thought about having a drink. I feel to good now and the thought of another hangover sounds awful. I've made it too far to screw it up now. I have to day off too so I will stay vigilant. It has been very cold here too but I'm going to brave it and go for a walk this morning.

Stay sober everyone.

Hey guys!

Day 41 and feelin' groovy! Hubby has an interview this morning for a different position, same company but he's still nervous. He got out of his truck and wiped out on the snow/ice then about fell again coming in the door. So I said to him "Slow down..." Well then I just launched into the Simon and Garfunkel song... "Slow down, you move too fast. You got to make the morning last...." Wether he found it funny was a moot point as he blew by me to change clothes. Hahaha! Life is too good for me right now to be in a hurry or to let anyone else get me riled.

Today is yet another Friday. Just another day of the week. I work 5-11 so I should be completely fine. By the time I get home it will be bedtime. Beautiful, blissful sleep!

Have a great sober Friday everyone!

Hey James, great job on the outing with the boys! Woooo Hoooo! That's fantastic!

Jojo
