24 more clean and sober hours please. I can never get enough of how loving and caring people at SR can be all the time! Especially when one of us falls down! There are many there to help pick them up, dust them off, and get them right back on the journey! I just love all you guys! Thank you for being here today and every day!Congratulations to the people that are celebrating a milestone today and have a great day!

(love the Flumps btw)
9.43 in London. Still in bed! I needed it, and a day off today - praise the saints!
In for 24. The sober life for me please.
Have a good day all.

Here for 24 more. It is only because of SR and my sobriety that I am on the path of spiritual enlightenment and self discovery. Without my sobriety I would never have signed up for this Reiki class which is already, after one night, changing my life.
I came home in such a state of peace last night that I didn’t even want to talk to my husband (I think he was offended.) I didn’t want the feeling to end. I couldn’t read, get online or involve myself in the usually activities befor bed. I kissed my beautiful sleeping children and I got in bed to relish in the silence. I was up at 4:45 and did my reading and then just sat in silence with my eyes closed. I am even fighting with the idea of going to the gym. I don’t want to be so busy anymore. I want to be still and silent and my God I don’t want this feeling to end although I know it will. Going to ride this wave as long as I can. Love to all...

My CBT sessions also taught me about the worry tree and it really works. Whenever I find myself feeling guilty for no apparant reason, I think about my worry tree. What am I worrying about? Can I do anything about the worry? If so, do it. If not, stop worrying.
I think people like us are programmed to be over-thinkers. If life is going too well, we think something bad has to happen to even the score. Other people don't think like this. They enjoy the good times whilst they last and deal with the bad stuff when it happens. You're enjoying good times right now because of your own hard work. You lost the weight and you have every right to feel proud of yourself and your daughter (send her my congrats by the way). Making an extra special effort to put something positive into the world can't do any harm but please remember that you do that every day anyway. ... every time you post something supportive here. I'm going to follow your lead and be extra positive and kind today. Let's see if we can confuse the universe with all the positive vibes. But above all, let's not worry and feel guilty. We've done enough of that. Let's allow ourselves to be happy.
Congrats to everyone celebrating a milestone today. 24 more for me please xxxx

Good morning,
24 on this Spring Wednesday morning in Texas. My mother is having a hard time recovering from hip surgery since she also has cancer, but she is recovering. Going to stay positive and focused. It’s not easy but can be done. Soon we will have her back on chemo and feeling much better.
Much love to our Tink and her son.

Day 5. 25 of 26. The days feel like they're taking forever to add up. Been going to meetings a couple times a week and got a sponsor. Last night I attended a meeting at an inpatient rehab center. 30 women with a common bond. It was such a great experience. Many of them had tragic stories, but I heard so much hope in their voices. Can't wait to go back.
24 more please!

A concise, and outstanding post.
6:53 in NE PA. I'm guaranteeing the 24chr'ers another 24 of sobriety, .....and 18" of snow for good measure.
It's nice to have a week under my belt again.
