Although I am only on day 9 free from alcohol, today is actually 2 and a half years free from benzos for me . And I was taking a lot of benzos. So I guess I should recognise it.
Have a great night/day everyone.

Until you look it up and find out it means that at sundown, non whites had to be gone or they'd be harassed. Talk about horrible juju! That place needs 7000 Hail Marys, a million sage smudges and a whole lot of I'm very very sorrys.

It's the 27th for me, so I am 1 year & 3 months sober today.
Busy as here, enrolling in a new course, about to start my volunteer job, and organising some temp office work.
Love to all the Julyers. ♥

Woohoo congrats on 1 year and 3 months, Venus!!!!
Hi let!
Hi Bob, get better Wolfie!
I managed to lock myself out of the new house today, oh the joy! Had to drive 30 minutes each way to old house to get a spare key. Couldn't call first, because my phone was in the house. Along with my wallet, and of course my dinner. Of course I was in my pajamas, because that's just perfect. Lol
Well at least I had my car keys!! I'm sure I looked fetching, thank goodness I didn't get pulled over.
Very tired wehav headed to bed.

I locked myself out of here not long after I moved in - it cost me 130 quid to get a locksmith out...so now I have spare keys everywhere 
I despair when I read about stuff like that sundown community...I love my country but one of the sad things about Australia Day is it means something quite different to the indigenous population here.
Things are getting better, I think...but oh so slowly...
