I use doTERRA. I really love peace and forgive together right now (I need both).

Since I'm on day 4 I've been using a lot of juniper berry. It is recommended for alcoholism and also for clear skin so I've been putting it on my face morning and night. I haven't had any cravings so far and my skin is looking pretty good. Win-win 😝

Elevation (joyful blend) and serenity (calming blend) are two of my favorites.

What brand do you use?

PR - I use Young Living. I started building up a stash before I lost my job, but was/am still really new to all of it. Haven't gotten back into trying any new oils since I started working again.

Sam - I rented and just finished Smashed (movie), and it was really good. I had tears at the end...close to an ugly cry

Okay, and now I NEED to try and get some sleep. Hope my cough cooperates!! Night all. Thanks for being here. Don't know what I would do without you guys

Morning class!

I slept like crap last night...up at 2am and then tossing and turning ever since. Should make for a long day today. Brewing a cuppa Earl Grey now...happy Thursday!!

Good morning Sam. I hope your day is not as long as you expect. Enjoy your tea. I'm havin' startin' fluid!

Morning all. Time to start clawing our way out of a deep hole filled with sickness, mess, Christmas presents and decor, laundry, dishes, germs, more sickness, and sleep deprivation...don't be jealous.

Morning class. Coughing fits got the better of my sleep last night. So I need to be extra careful today. I'm already looking forward to hitting my pillow tonight. I see lots of cough drops and coffee in my future today. The good thing is work is always so busy that the day flies by. No pit stops on the way home. I plan to check in here before I leave work and when I get home to stay accountable.

Have a good day Marchers!

Hello everyone I hope we all survived the holidays

I have been fighting the cold from hell

Morning everyone,

AK, I'm in the same exact boat as you ... we are the lucky ones Are you and your son feeling better? I'm finally feeling human again. So far, no one else has gotten this stomach bug, but now my littlest is congested and coughing. My oldest is just finishing her antibiotics from a bad cough/sinus infection. Ugh. Always something, but it could be worse. How is it my husband never gets any of this crap??!!

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. Hope you all have a great, sober day!

Good morning, guys! Remarkably, my immune system seems to have gotten much better since my kids went away to college. lol

Hope everyone gets over this nasty bug. Sounds like hell.

Got my startin' fluid. Off to earn my paycheck.

Have a fantastically sober Thursday!

Good morning space engineers. 0100 here. Done a SMART meeting yesterday- productive. Organised peoples for an assessment I have to do for my community studies for a filmed role play. Lots of planning for that one. Meeting senior staff member for a big city council area this morning for possible volunteer work- long term that may lead to placement that may lead to a job. Plans....

Finished another m/p today- then for good measure finished another person's art piece. It has been lying dormant for 3 months and this person is going thru a bit of a rough patch, so offered to complete it for them. It was all drawn out on the canvas (a roaring male lion- grrr). Only took a few hours and perhaps it'll cheer them up a little and perhaps join life again. Very isolating, non female person. Why do such a noble act? Either I am a saint- or it just annoyed me, because I needed to unwind, I love painting or a bit of all of these I suppose. Not really sure- been doing rather a lot of positive things of late, despite almost always feeling crap.
Sometimes life is a rough sea of crap- with small islands on non-crap dotted along the journey. Thankfully my boat is not nearly as crap-leaky as it used to be.

I feel you on the cold, Kayak. Mine's reached two weeks. Seemed to be getting better then reversed. It would seem I've gotten an added stomach bug or migraine, or just the flu on top it. Most tedious.

Happy Thursday all.

Bobbieka

Woohoo! Well done! My first time too.

Hola all! Good to see most everyone is doing well. I hear there is a stomach flu spreading around the country, so good luck everyone in avoiding that. Samantha14 - about not everyone reaching March unscathed by drinking. I think the important thing is just getting it under control, not necessarily being 100% sober. So soldier on!
Bobbieka my diet is going really well! After just a week or so, I strangely feel like I have a lot more energy, more so than I have felt since I quit drinking. Nine pounds down and probably like 35lbs to go. S'all for now!

I'm kind of an oil junkie (can you say that here) how about oil wh0re?

Well it's raining in So. Cal today yaaaaaay!!! I think I'll make a pot of chili or maybe try one of the million pins I have on Pinterest for a warm cozy dish I want to try. I'm definitely busting out moms tea pot.

I woke up around 4am thanks to the wee one and couldn't go back to sleep. I started thinking about how my moms 1 year anniversary is coming up. Valentines Day of all days. I can't believe we are coming up on a year.

I need to get back on Paleo. I felt sooooo good on it.

PeacefulRain

Hey where is Casey?

Bobbieka

Well, you got in junkie. The other one was bleeped out.

I was reading old threads a couple of days ago and thought about you and your mom's death. You handled it all so well.

Paleo has done wonders for me and my daughter. Not just weight wise but a lot of other things. Skin, energy, my achy joints, lol.

Time for me to look into the oil stuff. Maybe I'll be an oil junkie too!

Bobbieka

Last I heard from him was Thanksgiving weekend. He said he was taking an break from the internet for a while. I hope he is doing great.
