Hi Sam!!! Glad you're here. I wanted to tell you - here I thought I'd be getting all these steps in on my Fitbit having three kids and all. But half the time I'm their taxi I've learned and I'm not at 10000 steps yet at 7 Pm!!! What the! lol.

Busy day. Just checking back in.

Sorry you're having a bit of a tough day, Sam. I loved the hard hat picture. My wife has a pink one!

Congrats on the 10,000 steps AK! Any idea what that translates into in distance? You know that10,007 is a prime number. I'm not OCD or anything (ok, maybe just a little) but Casey's fixation is starting to rub off on me a little - maybe you could shoot for 10,007 steps.

Kayak, loved your recent photos of the sunrise/sunset. I'm a big fan of both.

Hope everyone else is having a good day!

Applekat is the one who was the math major in college, not me. She should be fixated on prime numbers.

"Mental Olympics!" ~ Apple I'd never heard of that one LOL ~

Last week when I stupidly decided to drink, I was at a bar.....this guy came up and sat RIGHT next to me....with all these empty seats everywhere. Ugh. I was already regretting being there. Then he proceeded to talk about how he was homeless, trying to get someone to buy him a drink and offered to (I think the wording was "drop a song") in return. I was like, OMG, this dude better not start singing to me. I quickly fished out a dollar and gave it to him just so he would go away. "This is what you get, DUMMY!" was going through my head.

Still here and happily sober it's been so busy at all my jobs lately (normally at least one is quiet!) so I've been running around like mad. One of the places I work keeps having functions with plenty of wine which isn't great but hasn't really been tempting.

The only thing getting to me is the change of weather! It's getting warmer here in Aus and I have a habit of thinking I'll have one or two glasses of wine once the weather changes. I think it's because everyone goes out so much more and work events go later into the evening which means more booze. Where I live there's a big culture of outdoor summer night events with alcohol everywhere. In the past after periods of sobriety I've almost always started drinking in these situations. I think it's because everyone seems so relaxed and just having a few casual drinks, as opposed to big parties which I know to avoid and don't tempt me. It's the more relaxed drinking situations that get me. So I'm trying to be aware of that and post here when I have that stupid thought of drinking like a normal person - which I obviously cannot do!!

10,000 is almost 5 miles. Fitbit sets the goal per day at 10,000. I count steps all the time now. yes, I obsess too.

Have a great evening, MITA, and everyone else. Thanks for being here.

Hi gang. Wrapping up day 5 with what I hope will turn out to be an early bedtime. I'm going to read some more of Smashed and let my eyes droop until they are closed.

Sam, sorry you're struggling.

immri - good to see you! Glad you are doing well, and staying aware of tricky situations where AV can sneak up on you.

Sleep well CH!

Sam, I'm sorry you're struggling too. I'm trying to rethink those "struggling" feelings. I think to myself...."I'm glad I'm struggling" because that means there's a fight in me that wants to stop drinking. Without those conflicted feelings, I'd drink. It's the me, way deep down, trying to come out and be the person I want to be...fighting the addiction. I don't know if that makes sense, but that helps me to embrace those feelings of push/pull.

Hi immri!!!!!

I went to bed "early" - earlier than normal. Up with baby already. What's the point?! Lol.

Immri - the change in weather def got me. Back in May, nice day....chronic relapsing ever since. Don't fall for it. You're smart to remain vigilant.

Casey - aw you remembered my college major! Too bad I can't remember all the awesomely hard math I performed while there! Hubby and I hope eventually catching up on sleep will allow us to prevail at jeopardy again someday. (Nerds...)

Well looks like tonight may be a co-sleeping night. See ya all in the AM.
