For what its worth Bobbie I believe you're doing the right thing.

Thanks for the new thread, Dee.

Bobbie, my heart aches for you. I think you are doing the right thing, too.

Checking in after work - things should be relatively calm the next few days. I've learned I need to be a little careful after the storm passes - too easy to let my guard down. I'm going to keep close to SR over the long weekend - always good stuff here.

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Dee gets his own shotgun as our record breaking continues in part 68. Blabbermouths 4ever!

^^^ Ha. Awesome. :) ♥

Bobbie I’m praying for you, Nathan and family.

PR - holy cow I would never pay that - $55?! They let us take a pic with our phone for Santa and Easter bunny. Thank goodness.

Happy Easter weekend Marchers. Kids are officially off of school for the next 10 days. Weeeeeee!

PeacefulRain 03-29-2018 07:33 PM

I think from now on I’m just going to do the Easter and Santa our HOA does at our clubhouse. There you can take your own pics. Heck I’m already paying for it, I might as well use it.

Last Easter my husband went with me and when we got up there he started laughing. When we got to the car he said we own a much better camera than the “photographer” 😡

Hey blabber mouths! You guys are on a new thread already? Hahahaha

Sorry I haven’t checked in in a few days. I was sick and then today my husband and I car shopped ALL day! In pouring down rain. Yuck! And we haven’t found a car yet! :headbange We are trying to find a car for our teenagers. A cheap car but reliable! Hard to find!

Any way..didn’t catch up on the posts yet cause exhausted.

Tomorrow is 90 days!!! I can’t believe it!

Love you all!

ManInTheArena 03-29-2018 08:05 PM

Hi guys. Around 8:00pm here and not doing too much. I spent the better part of two hours cleaning up my email inbox. It was a mess.

AK, hope you enjoy the upcoming 10 days!! We’re here if you need us :)

Some friends coming by tomorrow to visit and do dinner. They are very moderate, almost non-drinkers, so that will be good.

See you in the morning!

ManInTheArena 03-29-2018 08:07 PM

Nice work, Kiki!!

CaseyW 03-29-2018 08:34 PM

Goodnight my sober friends. Grateful to be going to bed sober. Even more grateful that I know I'll be waking up hangover- and guilt-free!

Dee74 03-29-2018 08:37 PM

Congrats on 90 days Kiki :)

Apparently 'c.hink' is a word that needs censoring.
Went to the Good Friday meeting..packed. I shared about calling the hospital on GF 2 years ago, not drinking then, but brin very fried - to find out when my hand surgery was booked. Been and gone- lost track of time then. A very strange lady gave a very strange, disconnected share...but all listened with slience and respect.

CaseyW 03-30-2018 06:21 AM

Wake up Marchers!!! Does everyone think this is a holiday or something?

I'm off work today. And tomorrow. First week with two days off in a long long long time. Seemingly years but more like a month or two.

Think I'm gonna finally go watch Black Panther in a bit. Then I must do laundry. No matter what. Unless I put it off until tomorrow.

Not going to take that first drink today. Period.

ManInTheArena 03-30-2018 06:24 AM

Good morning gang. Got my startin' fluid going and enjoying the sunrise. Slept pretty well for a change - extremely happy about that - maybe the beginning of trend!!

Sounds like a good GF meeting, PHX-J.

Enjoy the long weekend, if you've got one!!

venuscat 03-30-2018 06:31 AM

Sunrise, coffee, happiness.....ahhh......I like that. :)
Coffee no 2 going down, woke up way too early.

Love ♥

So you and your husband have maybe had the same bug we have/had. I'm fine now, but Nick isn't.....sick tummy by chance? Hmm.....wonder if we shop at the same Kroger. :)

You know I'm dying to meet you, right....whenever it suits. :)

Excited for you honey.....90 days is HUGE!!!! Woo Hoo. :) :hug: ♥♥♥

venuscat 03-30-2018 06:37 AM

Yeah, honestly......people are acting like they have days off and are all happy Casey: what is that about I ask you. ;)

When I was drinking, I never knew when any of the public holidays were....I was constantly surprised by pushing through a horrendous hangover to get showered and out the door only to discover that the world outside was closed.

:)

CaseyW 03-30-2018 08:34 AM

Wake up and get to motor mouthing, my sober friends!!!

Bobbieka 03-30-2018 08:42 AM

I’m up. Had a long post. Lost it.

Cleaning house, I’ll check back in later.

Pelagic263 03-30-2018 09:05 AM

Congrats on 90 days, Kiki! We are all proud of you! You and I have had some ups and downs, but I think for sure "you've got this"! Yeah!

ManInTheArena 03-30-2018 09:14 AM

Hey guys. Just getting ready to head out to the grocery store and pick up a few things. Anybody need anything? Haha.

I've got a few fun things going on today, a nice change from the workweek grind.

Sorry you lost your post, Bobbie - that always makes me angry.

I don't want to drink, so I'm not :)

PeacefulRain 03-30-2018 09:34 AM

Yes MITA could you pick me up a nanny, school teacher, maid, chef and the winning lottery ticket. Thanks!!! :lmao

Well happy Good Friday. I am currently listening to the wee on throw a massive fit. Apparently we must start everyday with a fit. SERENITY NOW!!!!

We are just hanging out at home today learning about Christ’s crucifixion then maybe a water balloon fight outside. I can think of one particular child I’d really like to beam with water balloons right now 😉 it’s going t be 87 here today. Then off to buy Easter basket goodies when my hubby gets home, boy I’m on the late freight on that one 😬

Have a great day everyone!!

PR, I picked all of those things up for you (except for the winning lottery ticket) and they had a masseuse on sale, so I got that too - where do you want me to send them?

I'm doing some laundry now, and thinking of you Casey. I mean that in the nicest way.

Heading out again soon to make my deal with the Gods of Golf.

I am feeling more me today - as weird as that is, I'm happy for it.

PhoenixJ 03-30-2018 11:06 AM

I shared a little mem from G/Friday 2016, at the G/F '18 meeting I went to.. I was not drinking by then, but I was living in 'that dark and miserable place' (a quote from a doc) , was on 16 different meds and my brain was fried. The Burns Unit had teed up a specialist hand surgeon to do microsurgery on my right hand. But because of the effects of all of the above...for a while I lost track of time. I shared that on GF '16, I walked (like Herman Munster- pain from grafts) to a public phone and rang the hospital..believing I was due to have surgery that day..which was long gone and cancelled.

Turns out I did so much work in exercising, strengthening my hand- I got more progress than surgery would predictably given anyway.

Thus is the power of addiction.

Congrats on 90 days, KiKi!!!

KiKi0615 03-30-2018 05:41 PM

ManInTheArena 03-30-2018 08:11 PM

Punished by the gods today - oh well, better than working. Had a nice dinner with some friends we had not seen in a while. The restaurant had the most awesome lemonade.

See you all tomorrow!

ManInTheArena 03-30-2018 08:26 PM

Very nice coin, Kiki. Well deserved!!
