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:

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!!

Purplrks3647 06-08-2017 03:13 AM

I just caught up reading the end of the last thread :lmao

Phoenix what should my name be? The only Australian lingo I know is from working at Outback Steakhouse a hundred years ago......so I could be "Aussie Cheese Fries"

Ok I'm really gonna go now......

PhoenixJ 06-08-2017 03:28 AM

FRIES? FRIES? That is weird talk- we have CHIPS. With cheese? WITH CHEESE?
We have gravy- brown gravy. So you could be chips and gravy girl (chagg).
how about 'spud? As in potato? I have heard that used about 100 years ago.

samantha14 06-08-2017 03:29 AM

Okay...I also want an Aussie name!! And in honor of my new Australian culture I will be changing my Siri's voice to be Australian today. (also I wouldn't mind the accent...just saying)

We have fries with cheese AND gravy...we are thrill seekers here

Sam is good, strong- easy to remember....as to the accent... croc Dundee is out... Mel Gibson, in the original 9and the best) Mad Max- made on a shoe string budget b4 the fame...near Broken Hill, go for that. Otherwise stick a handful of flies up your nose and pretend you are waiting in line- urgently needing to take a dump. That voice (deep)

Good morning, friends!!

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!!

Mornin' friends. Enjoyin' startin' fluid and still thinkin' about yesterday's AV attack.

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!!!

Sam adopt an Aussie name if you like but you'll always be Sam to me. That attractive Canadian lady that always gets up before I do and works way to much!!!

PhoenixJ 06-08-2017 06:05 AM

BBG- so well done.

SAM!
How 'bout- 'outback Sam ?'
I am watching my fav. Thursday line up- 'The Murdoch Mysteries'...Sam- set in Victorian Era Toronto. This episode- a young lady uses her sexual magnetism to manipulate men to commit murder for her. I am crushed- that the fairer gender could be seen to manipulate their wicked women's wiles? Such a genteel creature...(sob).

Bobbieka 06-08-2017 06:33 AM

I'm at work. Coughing like crazy. They'll probably tell me to go home. bummer.


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!!!

CaseyW 06-08-2017 06:39 AM

Day 14. If I make it through today, and I will, that'll be two weeks sober. I slept amazingly well. Glad that I seem to have turned that corner. I was thinking yesterday that I actually don't remember my last drink. I know May 26 was the first day I didn't drink because I came on SR and changed my sobriety date, but I can't remember what/when I drank the day before. I think it was a couple of glasses of wine before bed but not sure. Doesn't really matter. I'm glad my last drinks were a whimper, not a bang.

Off today. No plans. I may not even don trousers all day. Or I may go to multiple AA meetings. Or I may try and find someone with a swimming pool I can sit next to. Though my body is definitely not in swimsuit shape. We'll see which way the wind blows.

Work followed by a dentist's appointment don't sound like much fun, Purps. But it does sound like normal life and that's not a bad thing.

Peach might be the least exotic flavor of tea I've ever heard your mention, Samantha.

Cheese makes everything better, Phoenix.

Day 8! Congrats on starting week 2, Ladybug. Enjoy your productive day.

You counterattacked the AV tsunami with an SR hurricane, BBG. Keep it up!

How ya feeling today, Bobbie? EDIT: You posted as I was. Sorry you're still coughing. I posted a picture of my foot once. That's as close as I'm getting. Anonymity, etc. And it's definitely not a competition.*

How's everyone else? Check in please!

I will not drink today. Because I told you I won't. And because I don't do that anymore.







* Unless I'm winning.

I don't know. It looks real but besides that picture I couldn't find any other details on it.

Have a nice day, KiKi.
