Babs, it took me a long time to get to a point where I didn’t think about alcohol nearly every day. My job for those first few years was to stay sober and that took most of my energy and focus. After 3 years, i’m starting to notice that although I still very occasionally wish I could have a drink, it’s a very pale shadow of how I used to feel. The longer I am sober the more strongly I feel that I don’t ever want to waste my life by going back there. I’m worth more than that ... and so are you

hi guys ---I did do a little jig in the bathroom Toots ! I still got it ! !! HA HA HA bahhhh ha ha ha . I'm feeling pretty good about myself and so glad to be here.
We worked out in our back yard today. The leaves are beautiful and it was a good day to do yard work. Getting ready for winter which is right around the corner. Just a note to say Hi and so glad to be a Marcher. !

I'm glad you are a Marcher Babs!
Ive decided to stop signing onto the 24 hour thread. It was intended to be a simple sign in to claim your dedication to sobriety for that day, but it has evolved into something completely different. I am not decrying that, just that what the thread has become is really not what I want to be a daily part of. I check in daily with the threads I care about anyway so I am committed to my sobriety.

Toots, i’m still using the 24-hour thread to simply sign in and check on who has soberversaries that day. I am not interested in doing more than that because I do most of my posting (and thinking) in the Overs and come here for the fellowship with my dear and oldest friends and companions on SR. I don’t know where i’ll be a month or a year from now. And I refuse to worry about it. I may well reach the point you are at now at some future point. I’ve noticed that my journey seems to often follow yours but some months later.
One of the things I love about this place is the freedom to choose whatever we want to be part of :-)

I guess I hear soon enough from others ( you Sass, and Gilmer usually!) when there is a soberversary to celebrate. Like you, I post on my favourite threads so feel no need for my daily check in to the 24 thread. my commitment is no less because I don't type the words daily, and I would not leave SR as my biggest fear nowadays is complacency.

Yeah I see what you mean Toots. As long as it doesn't put off newcomers, I'll just go where I feel like reading. Like here with you guys. Been around long enough to bounce around, 
hope all is well, everyone! I'm busy as heck at work, will be for another three weeks or so. I'm kind of sick, but don't have time, so I'm not sick. I threw like 13 mugs in a few hours last Saturday, now I'm busy carving them. I'm trying to get them done for the sale next month. I think summer was calmer than fall!

In York for the weekend, off to see York Minster and walk the city Walls, possibly take in a museum. I'm here until Monday when I get a flight from Manchester to Spain to decorate the last bedroom!

I love York, toots! When mrs wehav and I got engaged, and our engagement day was cut short by her brother's forgery drama... we went to York a couple days later with her mum and friend. We resumed our engagement pic every hour. (She proposed at the strike of 2:00, so wherever we were we took a pic at the top of each new hour. ) We took one at the market stalls, one on the escalated of Marks and Sparks, one on the river cruise, and one with a Viking.
Really fun, mum thought we were nuts! She still does, lol
