Thanks for the welcome back everyone.
Congrats on seven months, KiKi! That's amazing.
Day 2 starting here. Work for a few hours. Meeting this evening. Going to dinner before that with some sober folks I reconnected with yesterday.
I'm not gonna drink today. It was nice to wake up sober. I still didn't sleep quite the whole night through but hopefully that will start happening again soon. It usually does if I steer clear of the poison.
Wishing everyone a safe and sober day.

Happy Thursday everyone - the weekend is in sight
Kiki, 7 months is fantastic - keep it up!
Purps, good to see you posting again - missed you too.
Casey, we've been keeping up the "don't drink, it's dumb" mantra in your absence, but it hasn't been quite the same without you here.
Have a great day!!

It’s so frustrating to me to know the answers and consequences yet not face up to them. That could circle back to detox of some kind to get starting momentum.
I don’t want to wait until it catches up to me anymore than it already has. I’m on light BP meds, I’m in horrible shape, my recall isn’t as sharp as it used to be, I probably look like hell, I finally had the “I don’t recognize myself anymore” moment. That should be enough to get my sorry ass in gear.
Sorry to hear about your brother Suze. My brother took his life and alcohol was a major factor. Not the only one, but I should know better than to tempt fate. No need to apologize for going on (you weren’t). I get so much out of everyone’s posts here. If only I put it into action.
Welcome back Casey. I hope your return goes well.

Hey guys!
Kiki - Great job! That coin is beautiful!!
Hey Casey! Good to see you.
Purps - I'd like to get paid to write - then I could quit my day job, but honestly - it makes me feel awesome when someone says, "I really needed to hear that." My sober IG is growing but all I've received from that is a few recovery books. I'll take it. And it is fun.
BBG - I'll keep looking. I want to submit something soon to the Grapevine (the AA publication). I write about alcoholism, but mostly about being the mom of a heroin addict.
PR - I'm sorry about Shark Week. Maybe you should get Shark Month.
Hey, Suze, Caramel, PHX, MITA, 13th, and AK.
Have a great day, people!
Sam - take a breath and say hi!
