I know I was missing in action yesterday, but anyone hear from knb? Coco? GardenGal? Spadge? Max? And any one else I'm forgetting and who might be lurking?
I hope they check in.
Good job everyone on your days... so proud of us. You guys are my rock.

I am having a Friday freak out.
This conversation makes me think not just on those groanworthy actions that SHOULD NOT have been done, but also on actions that COULD HAVE been done, actions leading to a different outcome, and perhaps even a different way of life. Add to that the horrid time limit of life and age itself, the feeling of it CAN NO LONGER BE DONE because it is too late.

Can you take a quick walk, bath or nap Mel? 
Maybe you need a reframe or reset to center yourself.
It seems like a lot of us are hitting some deep points of regret. Was it just your day or the overall thread that is bringing things to a painful light?

JL what kind of pizza? Glad to hear you're starting time off with a positive outlook 
I hope you get lots of relaxation in this weekend.
Are you going to join the bake off? My bisquick awaits me. I already ate my steak.

Pizza sounds much better than the yuck I tried. Lavender and Melon Kombucha, just disgusting. Trying to be healthy in the land of yoga pants and super foods 
It's funny how a lot of us go through similar things at the same time...being sick... now regret for the past.
No words of wisdom here about that. I hope we get wise words from Dee. I'm private, so expression about the past due to drinking is so hard for me. I have done so, quickly and without explanation, as I suggested to you OOTT, as I sense you are a private person. but idk. .
Hey JL and Dee remember Keys motto... "Look back but don't stare". Love that!

Not many wise words from me today - rough night
but...I had regrets and shame too. I ruined not one, but two relationships.
I had to accept that, although I'd done bad things in my drinking days, I wasn't a bad man.
I had to accept that I could hate my addiction, but not myself.
There were so many amends to make for me and some of them, for various reasons, were not possible for me to make...some people wanted NOTHING to do with me, now or ever....
so I kinda started treating my life as a living amends...I did good wherever I could.
It made me feel better about who I was, and led me to focus on today, rather than what I had done.
It also helped others too
Focus on the now guys

I'm not sure why knb didn't say anything to anyone else but she left SR.
I argued against it but she was very adamant that she close her account.
I hope she'll be back some day.

Thank you for letting us know Dee. That makes me so sad
However, in my heart of hearts, I have faith she will come back. She's acting through her addiction and I once did that too when I first reached out here. This is a safe place to come to full of support... Kim if you ever read this I hope you come back. We all love you here and want to see you succeed and be here for you
Is there something about nearing the 6-8 marks? I was wondering about stats on the board because seems like a lot of people relapse around certain points. Like 6-8 days, a lot of relapse around 50ish days, 10 months 2 years etc. Maybe I'm making something out of nothing and seeing patterns where there are none. But wonder if there's something to it. Phases of recovery or some such. But who knows. After all I was pretty sure one time I saw George Washington and Marilyn Monroes heads floating above me while the grim reaper stood watch in the door way. Hmmm...

I'm not hungry (anymore) but when I read about JL's pizza earlier that sounded amazing. Maybe tomorrow night!
Mel - hope you're doing ok.
Hi to everyone else. I'm still reading this group, and March as well.
