Quick check in here. I've been quiet this week as it's been super-busy. My daughter has had a school thing on; both children have had their regular music classes and stuff on; I've been off to yoga and been making more of an effort with the meditation (although I'm still rubbish at it!); and I've also had some health stuff that's needed a few appointments. It turns out I've slipped a disc in my back, so everything is painful! So I'm mainly tired (as it's affecting my sleep, because I wake up when I try and turn over) and grumpy. Even more so than I usually am. 
I'm going to try and stick around the weekend thread a little more this weekend, as I'm feeling like I've not got a lot of resources to draw on at the moment, from being a bit run down. Time to get some more resources on my side and really protect the sobriety.
Camrey and Elke - everything crossed for the job front.
Simplicity - thoughts with you while you're dealing with the fall out from your son's anniversary. Stay close. Sounds like you're doing well with the vacation, though - keep at it!
Ben - do you feel that what you're thinking are your true thoughts or might they be your AV shouting at you? Either way, stick close to SR. If you feel like you're heading down that road again, perhaps we can help out before things get too bad?
CG and Eagle - hello! ETA: And Caramel!

Hey Flossy, thanks for checking on me. I'm fine x, just trying missing Jo and Ben...
I hope your back will get better soon and you'll have a good night sleep.
Here in the UK we have a TV program called grumpy old women / men. it's funny, some celebs on it and all they do is of course be grumpy about the world. Sometimes I feel I could be on this program.
Hi Dee, thank you sooo much for all your support, it's so nice to see your little posts and the knowledge that you're always there. VERY much appreciated!!
Thinking of you all...

Hey everyone!
Well..... big day for me today! I GOT THE JOB!!! Accepted the offer, and had a nice conversation with my Mom. She is happy for me, and was actually okay with everything.
Sorry I didn't post sooner. I took a few hours and just unplugged after all was said and done.
Now the fun begins...... Packing, moving, finding a place to live, etc!

Congratulations, Camery! Enjoy setting up a fresh start.
And good to hear you made it through the vacation, Simplicity.
It sounds like the house at the back of ours is having a party. Sounds like it's getting messy already and it's not even 8pm. Could be an interesting night ...!

Hi all. Sorry again I've been absent. To be honest I'm suffering quite badly with anxiety and fear and have been afraid to even log on here and read. It's really about my health. I'm talking myself into having allsorts of diseases and my best friend at work has just started chemo for breast cancer and it's hit me hard.....
Have stepped up my aa work with my sponsor which is helping. She's setting me homework and we talk regularly.
I will read your posts properly soon I'm just afraid in case any of you are unwell it'd upset me. Please stick with me if that's okay. Love you guys xxx

Hi Jo
I was a real hypochondriac when I quit...I was over obsessed with illness and death. I think a part of me couldn't believe I'd made it out of addiction more or less in one piece.
It was a rough period...but it was a phase that passed.
It'd be a shame to let that anxiety isolate you from the great support here so I hope you can work it out
SR is always here for you anytime, anyplace

Hey everyone. Just checking in and reading up on posts. Sorry to hear some of you are suffering. I know the anxiety and fear feeling all too well, Jo, so I totally get what is happening. I too have extreme anxiety, and this ordeal has been a true test of that.
I hope all of you are feeling better and working through your struggles. We are here for each other, so stay in touch.
Love you guys!
