Hey everyone, Happy Sunday.
CYH, you should be so proud of you son. And we should all be proud of our progress in getting sober.

Hi!
iwta-you're doing great. Thanks for asking about me.
I saw one of my surgeons today. I see the other one tomorrow. The one I saw today had to leave my drains in, I can't wait to get them out. Then he told me he might have to redo part of my surgery. I know I should do what he says, but I've had to have quite a few surgeries and I'm not sure I want to have another one Oh well, maybe I'll feel differently later on down the line.

My sobriety is going well. I hope everyone is doing well on that front.

Take care all, Aly ♥

That’s a real bummer, Aly, but hopefully they’ll do what’s best for you in the long run.

IWTA: keep on rockin the sobriety train! You’re doing great!

I hope everyone else is doing well. Sunshine is almost to 8 months, if I’m correct.

I’m still bumming because my son had to leave again, but it’s just life, I know. It’s not as if something bad happened!

Thank you, Dee! My mom said the same thing. I'm going to be seeing him either next week or the week after, I'll ask him how soon they can do the second surgery. I think I have to heal a bit more. They put me on antibiotics today.
Anyway, you always have such sage advice and I sure appreciate you being around here!
Hugs, Aly ♥

Aly, at first I thought you wrote your surgeon had to "leave your brains in." LOL.

Good morning, guys. Just a quick check in. Coming up on 8 months. This site and this group has been invaluable in getting that far, but I’m going strong and not stopping. The thought of getting drunk actually scares me; how weird is that? Something I did pretty much every day for years and years... Anyway, I’m sorry to see this group dwindle and be less active, but it’s like life, it’s always changing and that’s ok too: the inevitable and unstoppable Impermanence of all things. It’s great to be sober!

Thank your son for his service CYH, I know it’s hard to see him off again.

Aly, wishing you the best...hang in there!

IWTA- way to go!!

OOTT- thanks for being a huge sober supporter, you rock!

I miss you guys. Was at the cabin in New Hampshire last weekend and drank like I’ve always done there for the last 17 years. I brought home an almost full bottle of Makers Mark. Yesterday I was thinking that I’ll have some of it tomorrow, but this morning I dumped it all. It’s so true that old habits can creep back in real fast. I feel myself gaining weight and changing from the healthy/mostly positive person I was. Anyway, I’m going to a wedding tonight and will not drink.

JC

CYH, I can understand the thought of getting drunk again being scary. When I did it’s kind of traumatic, like what did I do and why?

CYH-I'll be back full force, I'm still not feeling tip top. It is a great group of people. Jimi, glad to see you back and thanks for the well wishes. I'll start posting more when I'm more up to it.

JimiC, good job on dumping out the booze. sorry you drank, but no guilt trip from me. You didn't kill anyone, it doesn't mean youre a bad or weak person.
Let's move forward and put it behind you.

Good evening...
CYH - 8 months is awesome...
Aly - Hope you will be tip top soon...
OOT - hope everything is fine...
JimiC - Nice to see you ...Please make sure to come out of that dark cycle. It's easy feeling that you can stop because you have done it before, trust me it will get harder soon to stop....make every effort to stop now. Especially, when the relationship adjustments are going on..it's easy escape to drink. It's get harder to make good choices and decisions. We are with you..like OOT said, let's move forward. I know you already have done it by dumping that ****....with you brother...be strong.
Day 129 no drinks, One day at a time, Staying sober and strong...
Have a great Friday evening...
