On my way home. Long day but productive. Tea today is Cinnamon Toast 
Tonight both DH and my daughter are working so it's a night alone.....which in theory sounds heavenly but I really struggle with being alone.
Earlier in the day my AV was whispering but I have successfully squashed it for the time being. Soon I will be safely home and locked away.

Thank you to everyone for congratulating me. Now I just need to NOT slip! I've had 30 days a bunch of times this year and I want this to be the last I ever have. Now I want 1 year, 5. 10...forever!
I never want to go back to that hell! Ugh.
Another friend from high school drank so much his organs are pretty much destroyed. Not sure he will make it. Sucks!!! :-(
Anyway, have a good day. Love you all!!!

AK, I know what you mean about relapsing AFTER big events, I've been known to do that too. And I've ruined big events as well. Ugh. I stay sober for weeks, months, building up to that special, important time, then blow it the night before! It is such self-sabotaging behavior, what is wrong with me?! Well, no more.
MITA, I have the opposite problem. I used my phone to post 99% of the time, and now since I updated my iphone to iOs 10, I can no longer post here! I can read, but not post! Very frustrating, and puts a big damper on my posting
I may try to see if I can downgrade back to last iOs 9 version.
I talked to my boss yesterday about my mistake on Thursday, and everything's all good. She was so cool about it, and it had worked itself out miraculously, so I had worried and obsessed and lost sleep over it all weekend for pretty much nothing. But I did learn a lesson, and it was a mistake I will never repeat, so I guess that it what is important.
I hope everyone has a wonderful sober day/night! I'm going for a beautiful fall hike in the woods and then to a short afternoon work shift.

Played the tape through a little while ago so I'm home now.....having a mental struggle, tho. I have Friday off next week & my AV is already making plans for the night before. Grrrrrrr! But I'm sober another day! If it weren't for you all, I'd probably be sitting at the bar right now!

Hi all. Home from physical therapy. I continue to make progress. At some point they will release me, but not sure when. For now it's 2 days a week probably for the next month.
I learned today that my job is more secure with one of our team members leaving in two weeks and the rest of us needing to pick up his reporting duties. Add to that, that there are a couple of open positions on our team that my boss is having trouble filling. Not able to find the right candidates. It sure makes me feel lucky to have this job. I'm still a little blown away that they made me an offer. There goes that nagging self doubt...it's been trying to sneak in the last couple of weeks. Pesky, those thoughts.
I got a call from DD's school tonight that some students from the junior high side (elementary and jr. high share a building) received a threatening "clown" message on social media. Those who are in the States, you know about this right? Those not in the States might not have heard... there are a slew of reports of people dressed as clowns acting in menacing ways (luring children, making threats of violence). The latest includes threats against schools and students over social media. I'm sure it's kids. Akin to kids calling in bomb threats when I was in school. Still, as a parent, it's a bit unnerving. Someone was arrested earlier (today? yesterday?) for making a threat against another school in a neighboring town. Moronic.

CH- yes definitely heard of the clown bit. It is global- with so called 'kids' taking it to very distressing extremes- such as pretending graphically to kill people in public, filming people's reactions to being chased by a clown with an axe, knife... then posting it. Quite right to be concerned.. My son is 29 and because of clown horror genre- still is very anxious around them. Safety.
