..or try a different approach - add something new.
If you want change and you don;t want to drink you don;t have to

Thanks for your thoughts today Bobbieka - great stuff and great recovery (and I don't mean you quoting me, lol)

(((PR)))

Thanks Bobbie for sharing Dee's post ~ lately I have confined myself to only this thread & need to branch myself back out.

Well I'm home from work & the gym, already got my jammies on. Valentines, Shmalentines! Sorry in advance ~ I may be sharing more videos!

Thanks guys!

After the cemetery I took the kids out for a Valentine's Day lunch. I'm not going to lie, the thought of a drink crossed my mind more than once but instead I had my favorite burger and favorite iced tea. Now we are home and I am not going out anywhere so I'm pretty much in the clear for today yay!

Hope everyone is having/had a good day!

Home after a semi stressful day at work. Tired and hungry, so looking forward to food and an early bedtime. First sober Valentine's Day in a very long time

Hope everyone had a good day.

Evening all,

Well just finished my first cheat meal of 2017....McDonalds and ice cream...yumm!! I might be feeling a little more than full right now...lol. And in logging my calories this one meal was over 1000...I typically eat around 1200 per DAY!!! Eek!! Might avoid the scale tomorrow...

My doctor's appointment today went well. I had been experiencing some pretty bad pains on my right side and was feeling a little anxious about it (okay I was scared). The doctor was great though and ran a liver panel and did an abdominal ultrasound...which all came back perfect....not even a fatty liver which I thought was weird. Feeling pretty grateful to be sober and healthy tonight.

BBG - enjoy your fix of BBT!!

Purplrks - congrats on a sober Valentine's Day!!

PR = great job today...couldn't have been easy but you did it

Happy Valentine's Day March Misfits!!

CH - sorry your day was stressful....see it proves my point that we should win the lottery...

PJ - when my kids were little and excited about an upcoming event we would make a link chain out of construction paper....one link per day or hour depending on the situation....and then they would remove them one by one until it was time!! Sounds like you need 36 links....

Sam - great news! I go for bloodwork later this week and will find out the results next weekend. I'm curious how everything looks.

And yes, the lottery!!! I always thought a beach house would be fab

Hi everyone! Just checking in real quick before bed. Had a really nice Valentines Day. I volunteered at my daughter's school party and helped the kids hand out their valentines. So cute to watch. Oh to be in 1st grade again

PR, was thinking about you today and glad you are doing ok.

Sam, great news about your liver! I bet that's a relief. Good for you for getting it checked out.

Bobbie/Dee, thanks, as always, for your words of wisdom. They truly help me.

Thank you to all for keeping me sober another day xxx

Hi All,
Lots of great sharing and wisdom going on here. It was great to read through and catch up

Congrats on 50 days Sam and 60 days Keets! I'm just over a month myself. Congrats on your next big step too Phoenix!

Thank you always Bobbie for being our recovery Mom. I'm so glad you're here with us. We've all come a long way in the last year.

I miss Casey too.

Thinking of you PR.

Pick yourself back up Pelagic. Every day is a new day

Hi MITA, Kiki, Upstairs, Spacegoat, Dee! Sorry to the those I missed. Just typing from memory at the moment, after reading through 5 or so pages.

Have a wonderful sober day or night everyone.
Xoxox
