Well, wow. I have been extremely busy with life and family stuff. You guys have been busy yourselves.
Happy, Happy birthday, Jemma!! I am really proud of your 3 weeks. You are doing a great job. No alcohol today, just cake!
Phoenix, your story sounds incredible. I think of you often throughout my day. Wondering about your pain and scars. I hope you're heart heals.
Casey - love you. Glad you'll be around more. I am less than 10 days from choosing your avatar. Be ready.
Applekat- Hugs. Glad you didn't leave. You need to be here.
Samantha- Have a great day.
BBG - you are kicking some butt! Keep it up.
I love this class. Each and every one of you . Will catch up more later. Have to earn my paycheck.

Morning everyone. Rushing out to chair an AA meeting. I'll be chairing it on Wednesdays. I absolutely LOVE the people who go to this meeting. They feel like family.
Keep fighting everyone and never let your guard down. The minute we relax a little and stop being vigilant the disease pounces! I hate it but I'd rather have THIS disease than many other horrible ones that people suffer with. We CAN do this! Never EVER give up and never beat yourself up!
We are all awesome because we keep trying! I love you guys.
Happy Birthday Jemma!

Thank you everyone! And I'm so happy I figured out how to post from my phone! I just can't post from the app, I have to use the full site, but at least I'm able to post on the fly again. That is huge for me. I wish I would have realized this weeks ago. I hope everyone has a nice sober day

Day 2. I'm already sweaty as it's hot here and I rode my bike a few miles to a used bookstore that was having a great sale. Bought 17 books for $17. I'm off work today. Plan is to do some laundry and hang around the house most of the day and go to an AA meeting this evening.
Trying not to beat myself up about the drinking. Make it a slip, not a fall. It wasn't fun. It didn't make me happy. Yes, it was dumb.
PhoenixJ, HALT was definitely an issue when I did decide to drink, especially L and T. I talked myself into thinking a few glasses of wine would be a good "reward" for a long, busy few days. It wasn't. I'll have to keep an eye on those triggers.
Glad to see you doing so well, KiKi. Thanks for the kind words.
Stick close, immri. I promise a drink's not the answer. How's the Beast doing?
I like your ghost, Dee, and I like the thought of this being a blip, not a full stop. Thank you.
Sorry to hear you're still struggling, Thirteenth.
Hope your sickness is of the short 24-hour variety, ManInTheArena. Thanks for your thoughts for me.
Now we can be sober October 16 twins, Applekat. Hang in there.
Congrats on 3 weeks and happy birthday, Jemma! Have a wonderful, sober day!
The bookstore I was at this morning had Big Bang action figures on sale, beerbgone, made me think of you.
I look forward to seeing my new avatar, Bobbieka.
Thanks again to everyone for the kind words. Wishing you all a safe and sober day!

Thanks for the welcomes! I'm glad to see Kat and Casey are back and posting! I joined SR a long time back for a couple weeks, fell off the wagon, then never returned until last spring. I really think if I had continued to visit this site, even if I was slipping, it may have helped me. Anyways, all in the past! Stay sober my friends!

Hi y'all, weather warming up. 0800 here. Summer is coming, with the warmest day so far this spring and a cold front with more very strong winds moving in. SMART this morning- the step based sponsor afternoon (he makes good coffee). Spoke to QWERTY about my pics- he is a bit stumped as well. How often do I hear that this sort of stuff does not usually happen? No booze, of course 'cos as the wise tell us- drinking is dumb.

Hello to everyone - I hope you all are doing okay on day 1 or day 100 or day unknown if you are a non-counter!! You guys and ladies are the best
I've felt nearly dead all day. I'm generally pretty hearty, but this cold or whatever it is has come on strong. I've slept a good part of the day - now drinking lots of liquids (the healthy kind) and taking some extra vitamins - keeping my fingers crossed.
