Hope everyone feels the warmth & my love♡!

:wavey:, Dee!:VGRearth: To my Aussie, mate!

Hi Chloe, Dee, and everyone else! I'm hanging in there, January was a pretty stressful time overall, but I think things will settle down pretty soon...maybe March-ish? Hope everyone is doing well! :grouphug:

Hi, PalmerSage!
Glad to see your post. Yes, the first months of the New Year are stressful for me, too! The cold winter months can be depressing for me but, I know that each day is a gift and I do the best that I can to make it worthwhile.
Keep on, keeping on!♡CR

Exactly! I've been trying to get outside myself a little bit, focusing on helping people who are in the early days of sobriety, struggling like I was in 12/17. :)

Hi everyone,
Just stopping in to say hi :)
It’s good to see you all posting. Not much new with me. We just had a warm up but the cold is back. It’s better than being too hot at least, I much prefer the cold. I hope everyone is doing well and has a good rest of the week :)

Hi Emme :)

I have been reading posts and offering support to others here at SR.
Grateful to be here and that I have a sober life. It does get better and I could never go back.

Thanks for doing that ChloeRose :)

It is always good to give back...

Thought that I would 'wake-up' this terrific thread with a shoutout to all my December '17 Classmates!:dee

:You_Rock_:c011::tyou &:ValB005: I love you!♡

Hey Chloe! Shouting back to you! :) We're getting ready to move back into our house (post-fire) so I have a lot going on - struggling but mostly coping. So grateful I can still eat my feelings... :lmao

Hi Chloe, I hope you’re having a good week :)

I hope the move, or the move planning, is going well PalmerSage. I can so relate to eating feelings. My latest food obsession is mandarin oranges, love them :)

I worked late and I’m not really sleepy. Listening to coyotes behind my house, and thankful my dad has my dog because I worry about letting her out. I think I’m going to listen to an audiobook, that usually puts me to sleep :)

Enjoy the rest of the week everyone~

Hi everyone,
Just wondering how everyone is doing. It is 15 months for me today. Happy about that but I've been having a lot of drinking thoughts and drinking dreams. Grateful to be this far though because it's easier to play the tape forward and know you don't want to go back to where you've been.

We've had over 50" of snow this year and are supposed to have another storm on Thursday. Ready for winter to be over :)

I hope everyone is doing well :)

Congrats emme :)
If you need support we're always here :)

Hi Emme and everyone! Congrats on 15 months, that's awesome - I think I'm clocking in around 14.5. I can completely relate to the drinking thoughts, although you're right, it would be awful to go back there after all this time. I'm definitely still eating my feelings in the form of chocolate and chips, but today is Day 1 of getting back on track with reasonable eating (I'm not ready for healthy yet). :lmao

Hope everyone is hanging in there! Ready for spring...
