I'm here to check in for my next 24. Our much loved cat, Lucky 18 years, sure could use some love, support & prayers. If you could send him a healing prayer, we'd be very grateful.

Count me in for the next 24. Tonight is always a trigger, after a workweek and tired, and feeling like I deserve to relax. I am going to think of something else to relax for tonight, only 7 am here, so a lot of time left to think of something.

Best wishes for you cat , BarbieKen! 18 years...wow!

Good morning everyone from Scotland.
7.50am and I'm signing up for another 24 sober hours.
Glad it's Friday - but Friday eve was always "wine night" (along with ever other night ..... but it was acceptable on a Friday.....). Staying strong though.....I'm not drinking this eve.
Big hugs everyone.

Thanks so much everyone for all the kind words and advice yesterday... you guys are the best. Simply the best as Tina Turner would probably say.

I've decided not to worry about my sister today. I've got something else to worry about instead My 10 year old son has got into the final at his school's talent contest and the final is tonight. He's doing magic tricks. Tickets are sold out and he'll be performing in front of a packed school hall. He is totally chilled out about it. I am not. I am a ball of anxiety.

I am the least pushy parent ever. I believe that kids should be kids and enjoy childhood. However, I have been encouraging my son to practise his magic tricks because I don't want him to stand in front of everyone, unprepared and feel silly. The thing is, these magic tricks are hard. There's no way I could do them. When they work, they are awesome but when they go wrong, they go really, really wrong.

I've told my son that if they go wrong tonight, he should just smile his beautiful smile and laugh it off. I've told him that we are so proud of him for having the courage to get up there in front of everyone and have a go. Of course I want it to go well because I don't want him to feel upset and/or foolish. But this is something I have no control over. And what I'm learning is I am not very good at staying calm when I have no control. I've printed out the serenity prayer and I will be saying it over and over in my head tonight when he stands up to perform.

This is not a big deal. I know it isn't. But when it comes to my kids, I want to do everything I can to keep them happy and safe. Watching them venture out into the world and potentially make mistakes is so hard for me. Something for me to work on because helping them venture into the world is my job. So think of a little 10 year old boy in the UK tonight with his magic tricks.... whether they go right or whether they go wrong.....my heart is literally bursting with pride.

Congratulations to my fellow milestoners. ... 14 months Canadian koala!!! Fan-flippin'-tastic. 24 more for me please xxxxx

Morning all. Count me in for another 24 hours.

Hi Kenton.

I understand your anxiety, but it really is wonderful that he is doing this. He must be a brave young chap, how proud you must be. Keep up the prayers and check in here with us today. I am sure he will do well. Try enjoy it. Thinking of you.

Saw this on CNN and thought I'd pass it along...
What Excessive Drinking Can Do To Your Health

I thought I'd got this time zone thing down but no... Bubovski, it's NOT the 3rd of Feb - you need to go into work.

Day 5 of No Sugar and I am feeling bad emotionally and the headache...

About to start a proper step 4 with my new improved sponsor and I get the feeling it's going to show me some flaws in my nature that aren't particularly flattering. Which is a long-winded way of saying

I hate myself this morning...

I’m I’m for another 24!
