im here and sober, not smoking mj is making me irritable and making av surface. Last time I tried quitting that that's all I could think about doing. Now it's been 2 days and I have just so busy I haven't had time to think about it. It's horrible that I think to myself your not smoking nowbwhag are you going to do. But that was av wanting me to not smoke and substitute it with drinking. This is so dumb what a dumb thing to think about when I'm so happy about not drinking and don't even have the desire ugh go away av we broke up months ago quit calling to try and get me back.

Home. Should run. Keets- you can do this. You're not alone.
CH- way to get through the crappy day. Work sucks. I wish one of you would win the lottery and we could all just live together at a sober compound in the woods.
Well done today, Samantha.
BBG- there are a lot of different brain supplements out there these days. They're pretty popular right now. Let us know how yours works. I'm with you though, I hate the brain fog.
Well, my people, I'm signing off- have a great day or sleep. Love you all!

Showered and in bed winding down. Not looking forward to tomorrow. Either all will be fine, or I will get crabbed at. Don't know which. All I know is, I did the best I could today. Accepting that is what probably kept me from spinning out about it. Being sober definitely made it easier too. Thanks for being here tonight. AV tried to intervene, but I wasn't in the mood to even pay attention to it... 
Brilliant!

So I just made a decision I'm sure I'll come to regret in the near future--got off work and I was starving so I spent $9 on food from McDonald's. Do you know how much darn food you can buy for $9 at McD's? But as unhealthy as it is, it's what I'm in the mood for. Wish me luck.
Thanks for keeping me sober today. Night!

Morning all!!
PJ - sorry to hear about the day. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers my friend. Hugs. (P.S. Love the new avatar)
Casey - sounds like McDonald's there is a lot cheaper than here. $9 would probably only buy you one combo of some sort. Hope you enjoyed it.
CH - hope today's better for you. Doing the best you can is all that can be expected but I know that we often expect so much more from ourselves. Be good to you today.
Keets - how did the interview go?
Bobbie - I also think the sober compound in the woods is a brilliant idea!! Maybe a log cabin on a lake....
Morning BBG!!! What's on the agenda for today?
My face is pretty tender today and a little bruised....glad I took the extra day off work. No real plans except to get back to some healthy eating....been off track for too long.
Well off to find some startin' fluid!!

Been to a meeting 2nite. Near the family yhome- so memories flood.sigh.
Thewas a born again young male AA'er there- respect to them. A little clueless. He had a college test today. The examiner left the room so he cheated on 1 question. He then felt so bed- he raced home, adjusted his steps list for moral inventory, resentments, who to speak to and amends. The found out the teacher's email- and admitted to it- saying he HAD to apologise about cheating on that 1 question and to please mark him as a '0' for that one. Then he felt better. That life is a journey and sharing his dishonesty had released him from guilt.
My take? As an academic- if one of my students admitted cheating on 1 or all of the exam, they fail, then there would be ramifications. Simple as that. Like stealing from work. I think he is in for a very nasty surprise. No judgements- but a little naïve to think admission of guilt gives a reward. He is 12 months sober and has at least 2 sponsees- and is doing step 4. No judgements.
Interesting- he also said he has not told his sponsor.
Me- I just feel crap. No thoughts of booze. Sometimes all the rituals of building an enriching life just seem hollow and give little comfort. Just raw emotion I guess. (another sigh).

McDonald's went down surprisingly easy and with no consequences so far. Unless I can blame my very vivid dreams last night on Ronald and friends.
Off work today. Going back to the book sale in an hour. Only one day left of the sale after this. My overburdened bookshelves will be happy about that. Rest of the day is going to be a lazy one involving a steady rotation of television, naps, Zelda, and reading.
We should hit part 47 sometime today. March 13 and their 50 parts is firmly in our sights at this point. It's only a matter of time and a few extra chatterboxy days. When is National Chatterbox on a Sobriety Forum Day, Bobbie?
Wishing everyone a safe and sober day!
