DAY 40
Back from a nice break , we went down the coast to Coffs Harbour and stayed at the Aqualuna Beach Resort, we like Coffs because its only a couple of hours away and it has all the things we don't at home . We went to the movies a couple of times , Mirage we saw the Martian and we loved it , so glad you told me about it, we also saw Sicario, wow that was heavy but we loved it also. We done some shopping , ate way to much and just relaxed otherwise. I came home like a new woman.
Love to you all.

That sounds like such a wonderful trip, Aussie! And I love reading that you're happy. 
It's supposed to be sunny and in the high 70's today - WOOT! I wish it could stay this way for the next 6 months. Or 6 years would be good, too.

No aus, the anniversary was 21 years, it was on the 8th of this month. haha Thanks all for the anniv. wishes! It hasn't been a breeze, that's for sure. We've worked hard at it and I'm very glad and thankful. We're in a great place.
I'm so glad you liked The Martian! Yay! I've heard good things about Sicario, the critics really like it. I love that good movies come out this time of year! Your trip sounds awesome, glad you're feeling good.
Scheduled for my lasik surgery tomorrow, let's hope he doesn't get sick and cancel again! I'm jittery, I have a nervous stomach; just want it over already. I'm sure it'll go fine.
Happy Monday, all!

I was right, it went fine! haha My eyes are still very dry and kinda irritated, but I can see! What a bizarre procedure. Very sci-fi/Bionic Man like. Seriously weird. The valium they gave me helped ease the jitters and didn't last long so it was perfect. I came home and went to bed for about 3 hours and then stayed in bed with the goggles on till the next morning. I have a regimin of eye drops for at least a week and I go back in in a week to get checked. Just thought I'd update ya'll! Weather is cool and crisp and the leaves are close to peak. Beautiful! Big hugs to the Marchers and our Dee!

I was glad to see that your surgery went well, Mirage! And that video you posted was completely hilarious. 
I'm preaching at the Recovery Service on Sunday - looking forward to it! I'll be speaking on managing emotions from a Bible, Big Book, and psychology perspective. The hardest part was coming up with a title ... I ended up going with "Grouchy, Fearful, and Stressed ... OH MY! Coping with Emotions". Feel free to say a prayer for me!
I'm off to work now. Hugs all around!

Aussie, that avatar is awesome! CUTE!
I'm home from work today with pinkeye. YUCK. I went to the doctor and got eye drops, and I can't wear my contacts for a week. So I'm lookin' dorky in my glasses. The cool thing is that I get to take a long nap this afternoon and no one is home to wake me.
The last time I stayed home sick from work was the week after I quit drinking in September of '13 ... and I was on suicide watch for the week with 24/7 babysitting by my family. That was the worst, hardest week I remember ever living through. I'll take pinkeye over that any day.

Hi Babs sorry to hear you landed in the hospital but glad you found your way back to SR, I hope you manage to stay off the booze .
DAY 60
Doing pretty well apart from mood swings , also the storms have really started to ramp up here and they are a huge trigger for me , I don't cope well at all, I am absolutely terrified in storms, I am sure one day I will have a heart attack during one my heart beats so hard while its going on , of course I know it's only a panic attack and try to convince myself of this but I struggle to calm down.
Otherwise all is good in Aussieland.

Hello, Marchers! I hope you all had a happy Halloween! (Do you celebrate Halloween in Australia? I have no clue.)
Yes, my eye is all better. I'm doing really well overall, actually ... eating well, getting regular exercise, enough sleep, lots of family time, and sober. I took on another sponsee, so now I am working with 3 people on a daily basis. Wow ... they weren't kidding when they said that it helps you stay sober to help other alcoholics! It really does. One of my girls has struggled a lot recently, and my focus is all on her instead of me. She's making it, and I am getting stronger by the day.
Aussie, congrats on all your sobriety! But I'm sorry about the storms.
Anxiety attacks are awful ... I've been there. The things that help me most are to have my husband hold me and to concentrate on my breathing, knowing that it's a physical reaction and I'm going to be fine as soon as it stops.

Hi PBC - there's more and more kids out trick or treating each year, but we never did Halloween as kids here.
