Morning!! Mish - inspiried by you. Choosing happiness over staus can’t be an easy thing. Hope you find all that you are looking for. PR - you’ll have to post a picture of your light. Sounds really beautiful. Purplrks - no hangover here either! Best way to start the day!! LG - 23 days is awesome!! :You_Rock_ PJ - often the negatives seem to outweigh the positives. Thanks for the reminder that looking at and learning from both is important. Well on my way to work. No stops after and no excuses! Happy Monday! |
Mornin' Marchers. Sorry for being MIA over the weekend. Busy, busy, busy. Got startin' fluid on this beautiful Monday morning. Hope you all had a great weekend. |
Still trying to wake up here, Marchers. I ate too much candy last night and feel kinda hungover-ish. Today needs to be a salad and raw veggie kind of day. Good for you for taking this big step for yourself, Mish! Love that lesson from your meeting, PJ. Gonna remember that one today. Good morning everyone else. Wake up, Bobbieka. I'm not gonna take that first drink today. No matter what. |
Morning everyone! Waking up a little late. I feel very sluggish too Casey. I ate a giant candy bar while laying in bed right before I feel asleep last night. Hahahaha! It was good! I had a fun weekend. Sober, productive and present for my family. It’s nice. :-) 2 AA meetings tonight (there are 2 back to back ones and they are both really good). Tacos for dinner. Mmmm! Mish...I’m so glad you quit a job that was making you miserable! Good for you! I’m doing some weeding of things I don’t like or that mess with my serenity too! (Including people!) ha! Have a great day everyone! :c011: |
Good morning everyone. I went to bed when the kids did last night. I need to do that more often 😁 I was woken up in the middle of the night by my daughter. Her tooth fell out. She was sleeping and it literally just fell out of her mouth 😮 Glad she didn’t swallow it. Now I just need to remember to be the tooth fairy tonight. Have a great day everyone! |
Congrats Mish. When I quit my job it felt so incredible! I made a lot of money but I was absolutely miserable! This is the light fixture. https://s10.postimg.org/3rlrakh0l/6_...EA2_CB0_C2.jpg |
Hey guys! Busy here at work. Mish - woohoo! I feel lighter for you! I'm up, Casey, but dragging. Watching Olivia overnight while she's teething kicked my butt. Baby 1 - Grandma 0. Ah well, it was fun. Sophia woke up and sat straight up and said, "I want a popsickle". That's my girl. Purple - Great job this weekend. Sam - Have an awesome day at work. Kiki - I want a candy bar now. Was it a Heath? Hey, BBG! PR - that chandelier is awesome! I get that some might feel that they haven't made progress in 2 years (or 4). I just don't see it that way. We're still here. Still pushing forward. And are you better than when you weren't trying? Progress not perfection. That's the goal. Have the best day ever, March people. Suze - you out there? |
Yes....and not comfortably numb which is a good thing. :) Just busy day.....busy doing me things.....I haven't made time for myself like this in a very long time. Gorgeous new red glass and black metal bird birth hanging in the tree....I am waiting for the birds to see it. :) Need to catch up. Much love to all of you. ♥♥♥ |

Quit my job today. Yay! Had to give 4 weeks notice. Funny how sobriety makes you realise what's really important. Feeling a whole lot better since I realised it was my job causing me to be a basket case. I don't need to work in such a role..we don't need the money and I honestly think that I held on for so long because of my ego. Being the boss held status even though I was miserable.....pretty shallow hey. I'm going to do something for a job now that makes me happy not because of how I am perceived by others in terms of status in my job. I wonder what opportunities will present themselves? Wow...I really am learning. |
Got my 'sponsor' coming for tea, then a meeting tonight. We used to do a meeting every Wed. for over a yera- but my unit is too far out of his way. I say 'sponsor' with the brackety things, because I usually give him more guidance these days..the booze part- when I mentioned coming up to 2 years and interesting how no fuss made when I goyt a year up (like someone that night at a meeting..speech, cake-etc)- he said ' yeas, but you are different- you do not need it', meaning I do ok. He is very intelligent and probably one of the least practical people I know. More a friend now. He was the first person to approach me just after I stopped boozing living in that hell-hole, I had lost 55 kg and was very sick. Got a lot of time for him..even tho he is about a squillion years old (79). |
Well as you know your two-year anniversary is kind of important to US. And we need it..... :) I think a bit of fuss will do you some good as well. Neoo's courtcase is on Mar 26....I already told him it is going to be a great day. :) |
Watching the movie "Dark Victory" ~ Funny seeing Bette Davis and Ronald Reagan drunk at the bar together....each ordering martinis 2 at a time! Them folks don't mess around! :laughing: |
What's the new website we're supposed to use to share pictures here? |
Here's the one I've used Casey: https://postimages.org/ Any site that is https:// instead of http:// will work though. It must be a secure site. |
I use https://imgur.com/ |
Thanks, BBG and venus! It's been a pretty good day, made even better by staying sober. Wishing everyone a nice night/Australian Friday afternoon. Talk to you in the morning! |
Bobbie...you don’t know what a Heath bar is? It’s toffee with chocolate coating. Mmm!!! |
|
Mmmmm! ^^^ There it is Bobbie! |
