Well, okay then. I would eat that. Can't figure out how they came up with that name.

Sam did he use real toads?

samantha14

Of course!! Lol. I'd catch them and he'd cook them!!

CaseyW

I'm assuming Toads in a Hole is like Pigs in a Blanket only with poutine on top?

samantha14

Haha! It's actually a British dish. Think sausages in Yorkshire Pudding.

Hi everyone,

After 52 days I made a very bad decision and am now back on Day 1. Not sure what happened, but I didn't call anyone, post or ask for help. Learning from it and jumping right back on. Meeting my sponsor today and going to an AA meeting. I won't be drinking again today. If anyone is struggling or thinking that a drink would be good, please don't do it. I didn't enjoy any part of it and woke up at 2am with the worst regret and sadness. As hard and challenging as some days in sobriety are it is still a much better way of life. Love you all and thanks for being here.

So sorry LB. Glad you're back so quickly though. Learn and keep moving forward!!!

LB - sometimes a bad decision is actually a learning experience in disguise. I think the thought of never drinking again is scary and also maybe a little hard to truly come to terms with. Glad you're back here so quickly. Day 1 or day 101...who cares? You are fighting the good fight and you are not giving up....that's what really matters. Love you and be good to yourself today. Hugs ❤️❤️

LB - Great job getting back so fast. We're here with you because WE DO THIS TOGETHER. All of it. Even the not so pleasant stuff. Got your back.

LB - I just want to add that I don't think you're back at day one, as if it's a failure. You had and still have 52 days. The day count thing doesn't work for me....I know it works for many and I'm not discounting that. But personally it's stressful and if I drank tomorrow I don't think I would go back to day one. There's such a negative connotation to it and it's feels so defeating. So do what's right for you but 52 days is amazing and all the work you have done doesn't just disappear. The bottle has taken enough from me...I'm not giving it my self esteem too.

Well said Sam. I agree!

Isn't toad in a hole just an egg in a hole? I'll have to look that up.

I am currently making breakfast burritos. YUM!!!

I feel great today I was asleep by 8:45 last night. I was so tired after 2 days of late night movies.

Much like you refuse to learn how to convert C to F degrees, I refuse to acknowledge/research Yorkshire pudding. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have chocolate or tapioca as its main flavor (flavour?) and that's all I need to know.

And now thanks to all of you, I had to add "pudding" to my grocery list. I'm thoroughly embracing my inner sweet tooth in early sobriety.

samantha14

Pretty perfect day today. A trip to the gym, a walk in the sunshine, a clean house and now just finishing up some laundry. Haven't felt this good or this peaceful in a long time. Really needed the reminder that days like this happen. I feel "yellow"

Making some "zoodles" (zucchini noodles) and homemade spaghetti sauce for dinner....hoping it turns out okay and then a quiet night. I bought a new mindless computer game so maybe some time playing that or reading.

How's everyone else doing today?

samantha14

Casey I saw Smores Pudding at the grocery store today....what kind did you end up getting?

PeacefulRain

Ok so who has tried that horrific looking unicorn drink at Starbucks? I was born for the most part without a sweet tooth so I will stick with my unsweetened green tea.

samantha14

I haven't but my daughter has gone twice to get one and they were sold out both times. Not really my thing either.

CaseyW

Just got up from nap #2. Haven't gone to the store yet. Probably stick with good ol' chocolate.
