Class of February 2016 Support Thread Part 7
You've already been through a few Friday's. How did you deal with them?
Good morning Auggie!!
Great job badger!!
Glad to read all that about your sponsor OT. I don't do AA but I like what your doing, maybe I'll do it with you.
JL-where are you? How was pizza night?
Good job optimist!
I'm gonna have to start writing you guys down to respond, I know I wanted to say stuff to others.
Where is knb?

GAH!! I've finally found a pharmacy which has Campral in stock. It was prescribed to me on Tuesday, for C's sake! Hopefully the Rx will get switched over and I can get it today. "It's a generic brand, though." I DON'T CARE if it's from outer space! LOL
Again, I know it's not a miracle drug, but somehow psychologically I feel like a really need this help, and hopefully that's half the battle.
Happy Saturday, folks! I'm still very sick with a cold, but melatonin and cold medication are helping me sleep well. My son spiked a fever last night -- hope it's not the flu. We got our flu shots, darn it!

Day 14 ! 2 weeks woo Hoo! Congrats to everyone piling up those days! OT I love the analogy about the TV loans. So accurate! proud of u friend. Hope everyone has a brilliant sober Saturday. I may go to a meeting today because I have no plans and that is dangerous for me haha.
Mine is only about half landscaped, the rest wild. Little by little I will get there, but I don't want to be too overwhelmed. What used to be my 'great escape' [gardening] has turned into something of a chore. I need to re-wire my thinking into looking at it more positively, as I have in the past. Another problem is the neighbors here… they make being outside a much less favorable experience than at my old place. They make a sh*t ton of noise, daily. This used to be a rural area, but it no longer is -- they're not very up to speed. Putting up a massive fence recently has helped, YES!
Anyhoo, rather than get all angry and drink [while gardening - not super safe], I just decide to go do something else when they act up. It still sucks, though!
Do you grow many Aussie native plants? Another Australian botanist that I know here in CA asks me "WHY do you grow those weeds?" LOL. Your native birds thrive on them, so why grow anything else over there?
I wanted to study botany at Uni, but my dad didn't think I'd ever find a decent job.

I'm on an acre, but I'm not sure if our acre is the same as yours? Crazy US measurements…

Yep, that's what has happened here over the years. McMansions are being built on former chicken ranches. There's a lot of animosity between the old-timers and the newcomers. I've stopped going to town hall meetings because it became a trigger. I was getting pretty actively involved and was even instrumental in some big change to improve safety, then I just sort of dropped out. I'm sure they wonder why.
I'll be back. Hmm, maybe we should watch Terminator tonight instead of another James Bond? Nah, too scary.

I just persevere and stay unto myself. I am naturally a busy person. By the end of the week I am somewhat over stimulated and use alcohol to cut loose and self medicate. I'm miserable if I don't drink but know the consequences if I do. I just have to wait till it passes. Everyone here can empathize I'm sure.
360 - no not really kid friendly - how old are yours? It's the back story of PL Travers working with Disney to make Mary Poppins with flashbacks to her childhood with an alcoholic father.
Knb has been posting in the Under a year club. Glad she is getting support.
Love this group. Need some more check-ins today from a few people I think.
Heading into Saturday afternoon/evening. Dig deep.

By coincidence, we are watching Dr. No. The scene where Bond orders his medium-dry shaken vodka martini, I felt confused and weird--if you know what I mean. That was my drink for a long time.
GG - Phew, I'm glad you finally found the Campral, hope they can get it to you today. Like you said, it's not a miracle drug, so don't completely rely on it. Keep posting here, going to meetings, etc. Hope it makes things better for you.
CNGY - Going to a meeting sounds like a great idea, do as much as you can to keep busy this weekend! I'm waking up super early for a meeting tomorrow.

All I could do was think of Austin Powers ["Dr. Evil"] when Dr. No finally makes his appearance. I *loved* those movies. I nearly popped stitches after abdominal surgery watching those! Hilarious. I probably need to watch more comedies. My husband likes the serious, dark stuff. I'm more of a goofball.
edit: though I don't think [drinking] movies like the Big Lebowski would be a good idea right now!
Day 12.
Went to a casino this morning w wife. Never been to one. Would've had more fun lighting up cash and burning it. Stupid.
Pizza was ok. 7 yr olds cousin came over and ate most of the pizza.
I did just eat a bannana split. Been years. It was good.
I'm in a pissy mood today. Not feeling like wasting my day off as I work my second job tomorrow. Looks like that's the way it's going.
Need a mood booster. Day 12.
Glad see sober friends on here today. Don't feel like posting anymore. Nothing positive to say.
