Lucky kicked Sara out of her bed tonight and was walking around the house today. Big smiles at our house! Thank you, thank you everyone for your prayers & healng energy.
Tomorrow night we have the Party to celebrate my Sponsor's 30th and the wonderful man who leads our Big Book Study's 28th. 92 have RSVP'd with 38 MAYBE. It's a Potluck...whew. A ton of sobriety will hangin' ...yeah, just because you've given up drinking....doesn't mean you can't have a blast!
Bobbi
So happy for Lucky and her loving family.

Enjoy today's celebrations, Bobbie.

All that matters today is that I don't drink and I get myself through those doors.

Here's to 24 more and I guess facing social anxiety without benzos or alcohol for once.

Your proactivity is very inspirational, TT; let us know how you find the meeting.

24 more hours please

Thanks for the laugh this morning Toki!
Hopefully, you get answers next time.

You are still here, Arpeggioh, and that speaks volumes. Sober today; sober tomorrow; one beautiful sober day after another.

Keep moving forward into and through sobriety. The rewards are unbelievable.

6 months Sober feels good but I must remember to listen to my body and mind because everything is still healing. 24 more please and maybe another sleep in tomorrow-

Congratulations to all Celebrants and to all committed to Sobriety today. Take care...

Six months sober is FANTASTIC, bandi -

I also said goodbye to alcohol. The next time I see my son, I intend for him to see a sober, healthier, happier mother that he will be proud of, just as I am proud of him.

I'm sorry for disappearing, but I am back stronger than ever. Happy to be sober and moving forward. I missed you all and I missed recovery. What a horrible existence that was.

So with all of that...I committ to 24 more sober hours. Have a peaceful, sober day friends.

A huge and warm Welcome Back, ForMeForThem; so glad that you are back with us. As Suze/venuscat would say - Onward together.
