Hi, all.

Splendid advice. I won't drink or use today, either!!!!

I had a similar dream once that I had broken my sobriety and was so upset. It was surreal. When I awoke, I was so relieved.

Hi, Leigh and SD NavyBlue!

Hi sdnavyblue!

Hi Soberleigh!

I did 3 social things today & spent a fortune: I took a new colleague out to lunch to check in on his first 3 months; took a minion and a super-minion to a second lunch (for me) as their holiday gift -- third minion didn't make it & she's my fav, as they all know, but what can you do? she's a hot mess as AO would say -- ; and took 2 colleagues & 2 former minions out this evening for a light dinner as a going-away gift to one of them --they all had wine *not cheap* omg the price ticket!

I made it through the whole day without outrageously snarking at anyone. I had a decent bowl of soup and an outstanding burrata plate.

It was fun! -- 100% substance-free.

Goes to show ya.

I'm pleased that it went well.

Are your grades posted, Gilmer?

Not a chance!

Drat those tardy professors! Here's one to tide you over:

Thanks! I'll take it!

Hello all!

I am working on a project where I interact frequently with my boss' boss. I got some positive feedback today. Good thing I'm learning to keep my ego right-sized. It felt nice to be complimented, but - let's be realistic - "this too shall pass."

Haha, I don't mean that pessimistically. What I mean is that outside events (opinions, etc.) don't determine my sense of self like they did when I was drinking.

I felt no need to celebrate my positive feedback, other than by turning the car stereo up really loud on the way home and singing along. No fanfare and definitely no drinks.
