Itchy, thanks for the pics - it's nice to have a "real" image of what our friends look like. You are an amazing dude!

Drake, glad you made it through that and thanks for being honest. Although it can be hard to hear, it's a good reminder for me that a moment can be enough to derail my recovery and that with plenty of hard work on my recovery, a slip does not have to end in disaster (though I hope never to find out first-hand).

Hi to all

Nice pic Itchy and I too am glad that you are making it through these storms unscathed!

So sorry to hear about your slip Drake but happy that you shared with us and made it back to SR. Stories like yours help me focus on preventing complacency settling into my mind. Now at least you know that you can do it and what works for you. Please let us know how you are doing frequently!

Nice one wolfie!

Evening overs. The sky is a yellowy reddy bluey colour.sun's setting, I guess.

The nights are pulling in and yes, my favourite, the mornings, are getting darker.

Sometimes I just say the obvious!. Sweet dreams speak in the morning.

Drake, my recovery brotha, I am very happy to see that you caught yourself so quickly. I would NEVER have been able to stop. I have two friends in AA that have long sobriety - yet each slipped - JUST ONCE. Do me a favor and make that a trifecta...

Morning overs

Lovely morning outside. And very quiet and still. I think it's going to be a hot day!

Have a good Wednesday. Where's that camel?lol.

Today would've been my Dad's 84th birthday. My avi is one of the last pictures taken of him, about 6 months before he died.

Happy Hump-Day, overs!

Thanks, everybody. Yeah, he was a very happy man. The last 30+ years of recovery were very good for him.

Drake... glad you stopped when you did, but thank you for telling us about it - it serves as a good reminder for me of how 'cunning, baffling and powerful' alcohol / alcoholism really is
