Odelle you are a superstar...I quit smoking 30 years ago and it was brutal. No patches or even gum back then...we just had to walk to school 12 miles in the snow barefoot without nicotine...sorry, was having a grandma moment there. Lost my head.
Hope everyone is well...congratulations all you 100 dayers! I'll be joining you tomorrow!
Hugs all around...

Congratulations on everyone who's reached 100 days! That's amazing... I might have to add up my days too... Might inspire me a little more...
Hope everyone is going well. A guy I started AA with relapsed last night which has put things into perspective for me. His drinking habits weren't half as bad as mine or many others. My guard is staying well and truly up. How easily we can fall off our perch,,, 13 weeks tomorrow..one day at a time,,,
Hope the weekend has treated everyone well xxx hugs

Congratulations on 100 days Aries, hopefully, the next 100 days will turn your luck around and bring you some cheer!
I too am sorry about your AA friend, Nic, but thank you for sharing; we all need to be vigilant in guarding our sobriety. I've had many relapses over the years and I never want to go through that hell again. Let's stay strong Jannies!

Thanks all for the job congrats and on 100 days!
Ironically a very negative person in my life made a big to do about a little nothing today and in the past that type of personal attack would have sent me right to the bottle! I salute the progress of my inner child/inner parent work when instead of drinking I laced up my running shoes, cranked up my positive affirmation music and hit the pavement. Cleared my head, returned home and cooked a nice healthy dinner.
I mentioned the 100 because MAV thought 100 sounded so much more impressive than 90 and now he's down and out sick and probably not celebrating much of anything-
Feel better soon MAV!
So here's to all of us---from Day 1 to 101. Let's move this on into the next whatever day it is!
And to borrow from SW's latest meme....."The less you respond to negative people, the more peaceful your life will become" Thank you SW!

The hugs are appreciated. 
I had a thing I told my ex- taken out of context and posted in order to assert that I was trying to blame-shift, which anyone who's read my comments on the matter knows is not where my heart is. Indeed, in that very thread, a few posts from hers, I again acknowledged my blame for our breakup. She didn't mention me personally, nor quote my post, but it was rather a hurtful dig. Clearly from here on out I should avoid the Friends and Family subforum so as to stay on my side of the street. That's a bummer, I've learnt so much about how my alcoholism hurt others from the good posters there.
It's okay, I'll keep on keepin' on and will not be sidetracked from my sobriety. It's just tender feelings tend to get bruised occasionally, and just a matter of coping with it.
Thanks for the kind thoughts.
