Starting day 31 now. Assuming I make it through today (and I will not drink today no matter what), that will be one month of continuous sobriety for me. Couldn't have done it without each and every one of you.
Being a kayak/rafting enthusiast, you should be familiar with uncharted waters, Kayak63sc. Congratulations on record breaking day 11!
Glad you're already on top of getting a schedule set up with your therapist, KiKi0615. If those thoughts of drinking come today, remember what's worked for you so far in just the short while I've known you: 1) Getting in here and talking about it. 2) Telling your addiction "NO" out loud and as vehemently as possible. 3) Playing the tape through and remembering all the possible consequences of your taking that first drink. I'm very proud of you for sticking with us. Sobriety looks good on you.
Good morning again, Fabela. How is your day going so far?
Glad you're back, Ladybug2. Sorry you drank again. Don't give up one day before the miracle happens. You CAN stop this cycle. Love the new avatar! The sky is kinda Van Gogh-ish. Tell your addiction to shove it. If you had a broken arm, would you go ahead and intentionally break all your fingers too just because?
42 days, Bobbieka! If you're familiar at all with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe then you know 42 is a very important number. It's the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Thanks as always for your kind, compassionate posts. You're a great role model for me in my own sobriety. I will be 42 years old in August. There's that number again! (Just saw your daughter's alien artwork! I like it personally. I'd hang it on my walls. And it fits right in with day 42! Only the aliens in the book who are trying to discover the meaning of 42 don't look like your typical green aliens, but instead like tiny mice, if I remember right. Been a long time since I read it.)
immri, please check in soon! Don't mean to lump our Australians together but would also love to hear from horsestaple. And anyone else who hasn't checked in today. We're stronger together.
Perfect timing. My kale and mushroom omelet is just about ready to come out of the pan. I'm not very good at doing the omelet fold there at the end, but it'll still taste good.
You have the power of choice. Remember you don't have to take that first drink today no matter what.
Wishing everyone a happy and sober day.
Glad you're back to working on your sobriety, Lein.
Good luck with your last week of IOP, Missy7. Let us know how the meeting goes. Check in as often as you can. We need you!
Hope the haircut goes well, clearlyheaded. I just let my grays stay gray stay now. I don't have too many yet except in my beard if I let that grow out.
Good morning to our sober Leap Day-er, Applekat!
Check in when you can, Surrender2win. You know that drinking will only make work that much harder--not just because of the actual drinking but because of the remorse afterwards. Has anyone else noticed how much less fun drinking is once you've had a little exposure to some good sobriety? It's like the whole time I'm drinking I'm thinking, "I know I shouldn't be doing this. This isn't right for me."
Perfect timing. My kale and mushroom omelet is ready to come out of the pan. I usually tear up the omelet a bit when I do that fold/flip at the end, but it still will taste yummy.

Casey - the healthy eating....ugh! I hope your better habits will rub off on me soon. Until then, most nights I eat two dinners. Yikes. I'm not large either, just eating my calories at lumped times of day.
Bobbie - I just love Harry Potter. My kiddos are young and I already let them watch through Goblet of Fire. No more for now. Started reading instead at book 1. Love it. They will run around the house trying to Wingardium Leviosa things.

I spoke too soon! Perfect omelet flip/fold this morning. It's going to be a good day!
EDIT: The omelet looks much tastier in real life instead of via my blurry camera phone picture. That poor phone is being held together by duct tape at this point. But it still works. Mostly. And I'm too cheap to buy another one. Also, sorry for the wacky formatting in my long post. I don't know how I somehow copy and pasted my last two paragraphs into the middle of the post as well.

Another Harry Potter fan here. My dad still makes fun of me for planning a vacation day months in advance for the day the last book came out. But at the same time he's the same guy who snuck me a copy home early from the warehouse at his work.

Uhm, the hair dresser cut off way more than I was expecting!!! I went from hair down to my shoulder blades to up around my ears. It will take some getting used to. It will definitely be easier to manage one handed, though!

Oh yeah! Casey congrats on 31, and Bobbie on 42! Outstanding! Love the artwork Bobbie. 
Rocking my sweet bug to sleep right now, while my 4 year old does who knows what in the house.
There's nothing sweeter than a calm sleeping baby in your arms!
Oh wait, I bet there is - a baby who would then sleep longer than 30 minutes! Ugh! Basically gives me time to go to the bathroom, find the 4 year old, and build 1/4 of a Lego set with him.
