Did you have a plan in place to deal with the social situation? It's easy to fall back into old habits otherwise and it's horrible.

Keep it up! You're doing great and the cravings will lessen.

It would of been just as fun had i just drank some ice tea. I using this as a learning experience and hopefully remember that next time. My calendar is clear till summer so i'll have a lot of sober muscles built up.

Just don't pick up the first drink. Glad you're still here.

What, you might ask, is so special about the long-tailed duck?



Clangula hyemalis. Special? They breed on the tundra, and millions gather in the winter on the Baltic Sea. The males bark, or yodel. They’re the only duck of the Clangula genus, the other species being known only from 13 million year old fossils found in Hungary. And they dive up to 200 feet, which is a really long way, especially in cold water.

A pretty special duck, I think!


Every one of us is special, and together we're a lot alike. See you here tomorrow, I hope!

Congrats to all those celebrating a milestone today!

Congrats to all those sober today!

Congrats to Twal, Alynn, Trees39 and DANE!!!!

Prayers for those sick or struggling.

Thinking of you (((Leigh.))) Leigh says she misses ALL of you, too! shes quite ill with a serious infection.

From Leigh: Just that I miss them, love them, and that they are always in my prayers. I am not yet strong enough to read and keep up.

Peach Cobbler!! Mmmmmmm.... Cobblers, buckles, crisps and grunts. All a delightful combo of dough and fruit. What a nice way to celebrate each fruit as it comes into season.

Peach Cobblers are an American deep-dish fruit dessert or pie with a thick crust (usually a biscuit crust) and peach filling.

Peach Cobbler day was created by the Georgia Peach Council in the 1950’s to sell canned peaches.

The rough look of the pie gives the dish its name. It looks “cobbled” together.

There are 419 calories in 1 cup of Peach Cobbler. (Do we really want to know that?)

Peach cobbler was invented by early American settlers.

Have a nice day, all. 24 more for me.
