Remember when I referred to my Tsunami AV attacks. Where I just went to the beer store without fighting back. Well that's what I beat yesterday thanks to you guys.

It's not perfection but it's certainly success. I know I'll have Tsunami attacks in the future but I also know I can beat them. I've already done it!!!

Yes you CAN beat the Tsunami attacks! We ALL can!:You_Rock_

Our group is bipolar I think.

No, not a competition. But it felt really lonely when everyone disappeared for a bit. So, very grateful you guys are competing in a very noncompetitive way.

I'm Bob. Can that be Australian?

Someone mentioned that the March '13 class all posted pics of themselves one day. We should do that sometime. Put faces to the names and all that.

BBG - you're awesome.

Get up everyone - It's an awesome day to be sober!!!

Lol Bobbie. I've been tested for Bi-polar and I'm NOT! Haha. Perfectly sane when SOBER! I DO have anxiety though but who doesn't???

I hope you stop coughing asap! Hugs!

Thanks Dee!

On my first cuppa startin' fluid. :23:

BBG I'm glad you posted and fought off the av. And what Casey said about getting outside your own mind and asking for help (I think it was something like that) ~ but that's what I need to remember too.

Off to face the day.....oh yeah I have a dentist appointment after work.....goodie....

Like Sully says to the crowd: "My boys in the pit - LET'S DO THIS!!" :headbang:

Have a great day Purp!

Morning everyone!!

Thanks Dee!

Good luck at the dentist Purplrks! I get the importance of going but I still hate it.

Another nice day here. On my way to work. Made some Peach Iced Tea for the ride in...so things are definitely starting out on the right foot.

Happy Friday Jr. all!!

Have a great day Sam!!!!!

We have gravy- brown gravy. So you could be chips and gravy girl (chagg).

You're making me hungry P!!!

Posting now while I can. Day 8. The sun is finally out again, yay! The last few days have felt like cloudy, fall days.

BBG, great job getting through yesterday. I need to do a better job of asking for help when I am struggling too. I don't post here OR even call my sponsor before I drink. Not good. Going to change that this time around. Thanks for being a good example of what we should be doing. Hope today is better for you :)

Casey, PJ and Kiki ... this is not a competition ;) You guys crack me up.

Well, off to try and be productive today. Have end of year teacher/bus driver gifts to get. My daughter's last day of 1st grade is Monday. Can't believe she's almost a 2nd grader.

Have a great day all!!


Heyyyyy LB! But it IS a competition! Hahahaha. Not really. :lmao

CaseyW 06-08-2017 06:58 AM

(I'm patiently waiting for KiKi to finish responding to everyone before I update our Quest For the World Sobriety Chatterbox Record.)

KiKi0615 06-08-2017 07:01 AM

Congrats on 2 weeks Casey! I'm glad you slept well last night! Enjoy your day off!!!

KiKi0615 06-08-2017 07:05 AM

Well....I better hop off here. I'm at Day 2 of my son's college orientation & should probably be paying attention but I'm trying to put my sobriety first! Haha

Anyway....gotta do this today and it's hard with this eye issue but I'm a survivor!

Love you all & I'll check back in later to discuss snacks. Ha.

Day 8.

Applekat 06-08-2017 07:06 AM

Morning. Day 10. Still sick - cancelled my dentist appt. Tired. Not posting a pic of myself today, prob look 10 years older lol lol.

I will need to be extra vigilant tomorrow, I know myself. Friday....hopefully feeling better by then..I deserve it....

No one deserves to drink, to feel that anxiety and remorse. It's NOT a reward.

Don't drink, people.

beerbgone 06-08-2017 07:07 AM

Had a sausage 'n biscuit and grits and now I'm ready to face the world!

Got some errands to run that was scheduled for yesterday but I was afraid to go out past all the beer stores!

Today is a new day!!!

CaseyW 06-08-2017 07:10 AM

Welcome back to double digits, Applekat! Sorry you're still sick. Wishing for a quick recovery for you. And you're right--drinking is not a reward for us.

You should wear an eye patch and get one of Keets' birds for your shoulder, KiKI. Fully embrace your inner pirate and fully embarrass your son at his orientation.

CaseyW 06-08-2017 07:13 AM

World Sobriety Chatterbox Countdown -- approx. 525 posts to go.

We'd be closer but Phoenix is busy fraternizing with the enemy and boosting up their post count. How dare he put his sobriety over our record seeking!

PhoenixJ 06-08-2017 07:25 AM

casey- how is it, then YOU know I have been consorting 'with the enemy', so not a competition- but a war? I was gathering intelligence.......(I need all I can git).

Applekat 06-08-2017 07:26 AM

So funny guys!

hahaha...this post matches perfectly the tone of the Senate Intelligence Committee hearings that I have playing as I work around the house this morning. PhoenixJ for Senator!

PhoenixJ 06-08-2017 07:33 AM

Yep - we got it too. Impeachment/ Storm in a tea cup? Who know -no politics, but the media hype- I think half the time people forget what it is all about.
Senator?? Will I be one of those cool ones like in Tom Clancy books- that control the universe- have an army of 'my people' and am just a decent guy (with an enormous amount of money)?

June 8, 2017
NATIONAL BEST FRIENDS DAY
NATIONAL UPSY DAISY
NATIONAL NAME YOUR POISON DAY

CaseyW 06-08-2017 07:37 AM

My poison is named Coffee today.

Just so no one else has to google it:


Each year on June 8, National Upsy Daisy Day is set aside to encourage you to face the day positively and to get up ‘gloriously, gratefully and gleefully’ each morning.

Every day is a gift and if we remember that as we rise each morning, it will help us carry a good attitude throughout the day, whatever the day may bring us. Life is full of challenges and bumps in the road, and it is our attitude that helps us over the bumps and through the challenges to move onward with a smile.

Give it a try. Be grateful and thankful for what you do have such as a bed to sleep in, food to eat, friends and family. Try a smile and see how it feels. It may surprise you that it feels good on the inside also and how other people will smile back. You may just brighten up their day! Upsy Daisy!

Bobbieka 06-08-2017 07:38 AM

FYI - my poison is delsym today.

You guys are my best friends and I got nothing on the upsy daisy thing.
