Here is one thing that happened to me just now...I was doing some shopping...and I always gage how much to buy- based on the size of my back pack (40L) and it's weight. I ran out of room and went to buy a plastic bag..when the thought struck me I do not have to do this anymore...there rediscovered...were TROLLEYS!
I just had ignored them b4...for the last 7 years in fact. Not a life changing moment, but good.

I remember July, 2006, vaguely. That was the first time I happened upon SR and registered and posted. That was when I truly realized I had a problem. Fail. Almost 12 years; I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I never doubted the progressive nature but to consider myself now…
I remain in the yet category. When will it happen? Whatever it may be. What will I lose? What will it take to wake up this dumbass? These are questions I’ve wrestled with the last two years while seeing remarkable achievements by all of you. I’ve not met nor even really tried to achieve my own. My longest stretch of sobriety is so pathetic that I almost can’t bring myself to say that it’s been two days or less. In two years! The previous 10 are no less uninspiring.
I hope this post does not read as a pity party but just as reality. The support is wonderful but I’m just not utilizing it and clearly remain in the rather drink than be sober category. I have to be honest. The lack of posting is due to the lack of action on my part. It’s difficult to come back time after time after time after time. It’s not because of the shame, though there is that; it’s because I see you all doing great things and getting back after it on the rare occasions there is a slip. So far I am not like that. I want to be like that and it’s why I stick around. It’s hope which for me can be a precious commodity. Somehow, someway it will imprint and I’ll realize that not only is sobriety worth it, but that I can do it too. Preferably it’s not too late when I do. So far it eludes since clearly I don’t want it bad enough.
Moving on, congrats to all on milestones and defeating the hag/beast. It can be a bitch from what I understand. Love and good wishes to all.

WELL,YES! Idid google it. There are at least a kazillion CD car things almost the same. I will get there...gives me something to do at traffic lights.
I DROVE, DROVE THAT IS, not rode- to a meeting yesterday arvo. Not drenched in sweat, not sore or really tired or overly fight and flightish from watching everything from idiot drivers to large sticks on the ground in the bike lane. It was 36C...and I used the a/c. Only on spec occasions. To amuse a friend- I have named my car 'bloke'.

Congrats on 70 days Kiki!
I like the car name PJ. Mine's known as the wolf, only because it's gray.

Congrats on 5 months Mish and 70 days Kiki! 
Good to see you Pelagic
Glad you're enjoying the car PJ
In case anyone is wondering, drinking is still dumb. Just wanted to check in and get back on the horse....laundry, shower, food, vitamins, water....starting to feel human again ~ Glad to be here
