Hola all! I am still kind of wired tonight. I guess I'll be up a while longer. Great job on staying strong today Samantha! Oh, and my name isn't Thomas, Bobbiek. I saw that! 😀

Mish/Nish. I love it. It's perfect!!

I'm not sure exactly what I did, but my low back is all f'd up this morning. I can't stand up straight, I can't bend down - heck, I could barely roll over in bed. I'm working with Dr. Advil at the moment. I've had plenty of injuries in my day, but this is a new kind of deal for me. Pretty painful. Ugh.

Anyway, drinking won't help, so I won't drink today!!

Sam, I hope you enjoyed that tea. It sounded delicious.

That sucks, MITA. Back pain is the worst. Chiropractor in your future maybe? Urgent care will give you a shot to make it bearable. Prayers.

Morning!

MITA - sorry to hear about your back. Ranks right up there with ear and tooth pain. Hope you find relief quickly

Well it’s Christmas here today. Having lunch out and then presents and games back at my in-laws. Lots of drinking will be happening...but not me. I don’t drink n

Wow! Can't believe this. Just been checking the weekly online ad for one of the local groceries. The first 3 pages of the ad are for alcohol!!!

Morning Marchers.

Trying to decide if the somewhat healthier nutrition facts on this turkey sausage are worth the not-as-good taste. Work in a bit. Probably laundry after that. Since it's Sunday, maybe they'll have the television on football instead of a certain news channel. I can dream, right?

Happy Canadian Christmas, Sam! Stick close, post often. We've got your back.

I'm not gonna drink today.

BBG, any even better way to save money on poison is to not buy it in the first place!

Hi!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to check in and say I had a slip again Friday. After a long discussion with my therapist and sponsor, they want me to take a break from all "cyber support", turn my iPhone OFF and open the Big Book and other recovery material.

What I have been doing isn't working so I may as well TRY!

Although I am still making it several weeks at a time without drinking, the firm foundation is still not there. I need to change things AGAIN. I am not ever giving up though!

I will check in once I have something positive to report.

Love you guys! Never give up!

Well I’m having a great morning. My wee one got up at 6:20 on the dot as usual. He always gets in bed with me and snuggles for about 30 minutes, not gonna lie, I love that. Today he went back to sleep all snuggled up with me. That never happens!!! 😍😍😍

I need to finalize my thanksgiving menu today. I usually have my siblings over but this year I just don’t feel like hosting. I’m still making enough food for an army though. Hubby is smoking a turkey so my oven is freed up 😁

My house is nice and clean so I think I’m going to sit here and watch the food network all day. 👍🏻

Merry Christmas Sam!
