Nah, it's a stay and play, resort. Nice rockwork, faux log table and furniture in the full kitchen, fold out beds to pile on. Hooked up my CPAP, and I was gone zzzz.
Still tired here at home, wife's outta a ballgame in Atl, w her family. My long weekend starts in the morning, still shorthanded.

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone's doing well. Sounds it!

My friend who's had stage 4 breast cancer for 11.5 years had a radical mastectomy yesterday. She's home already and in good spirits, both of which are thanks to the miracles of modern medicine. She started Seeing a counselor around the time I entered recovery, and we are both a little bit less crazy. Learning how to create proper boundaries and having the courage to stick to them is the reason we are still friends. Viva recovery!

My oldest son (unknown processing disorder), worries me so bad. He woke up this morning and had just an uncontrollable quiet anger. Everything pissed him off. Maybe lack of sleep, or less sleep brings it out more. With him it's always too many things going on and I can't handle it to try to figure something g out. I'm just turning it over and trying to make sure he knows I love him no matter what.
Going to bed.
Hope everyone's day went ok!

Food test was using liquid smoke and dales, together, on baked chicken breast. I believe it came out good.

Well, today marks 99 consecutive sober months. Thanks to all of my dear friends here at SR for helping to make it happen! I remember the utter sense of despair and defeat that plagued me for years and I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for how I was somehow able to turn it all around. I am truly blessed.

Congrats on 99 months FBL!

Hi Site!

I have found myself pulling away from FB and the news in general. I subscribe to many political podcasts and I just can't listen much currently. I need to protect my sanity and happiness and do what I can but no longer dwell on things that are out of my control.

Happy first day of Autumn today. I think we are pushing 90 degrees the next few days. No one told Summer that it's time is up.

Have a good day all!

Happy Autumn to you, too, stargazer! It's a beautiful day here, much like where you are I expect. I hope the sunshine promises a sunny winter.

99 months is wonderful FBL. You've done well!

Nothing. I was just going to say that I don’t seem to have very much to say at this point of my sobriety—but then I figured, if there’s nothing to say, why speak?

What’s up with you, Site? Are things going well?

How about you, Caramel? Are you still around?
