Nice to see ya Toots! Hope all is well

Doing okay over here....pretty pooped & on the search for a better job, but definitely better off without alcohol

tootsl1

How much easier are things like job searches and decision making when sober?! I hope you find something that fits what you are looking for Purps

Day 26 here, a little up and down emotionally but staying busy with work, my dog, horses, yoga and meditation.
Trying to be an observer of my reactions instead of just a reactor.
Not sure that makes sense but have a great day all!

Purplrks3647

That's great Melski....mindfulness is something I've been having to work on as well....makes all the difference ~ Congrats on day 26

tootsl1

Sounds like you are being proactive in your recovery Melski,

Who is looking after who Purps?

JJ I wished we had some summer days to enjoy here this year!

Gosh, another Monday rolls around! Where do the weeks go?

Purplrks3647

Or more like "Where do the weekENDS go?"

Hi Toots! Hey Undies

tootsl1

I guess when you're working the weekends are never long enough. I'm fortunate enough now to work for free around the house and garden ( it's called retired,) but it means a nice sunny morning like today I can get nine holes in before mid morning. So much of my world has changed for the better since I threw away the booze. I wish I could make everyone see how much more living you actually do sober. But I know when I was actively drinking I could never I,Aline a life without. And when is was in the Undies I could never imagine a life with years of sobriety under my belt and actually feeling good about it.
I hope I don't sound preachy - I still cuss and spit ( but mostly only when I'm teaching my grandson how, ) - I just wish for everyone to get over the first hurdle in this race for the best possible life!

Purplrks3647

I hear ya, Toots! Thanks so much for being here to help us

tootsl1

Hows everyone doing?

Purplrks3647

Hey Toots How's it going? Okay here....could be better, but can't get it all done in one day

Hey everyone, just checking in. I feel better over the last few weeks. Seems social things have fallen into place. I no longer have the self hatred of "why I cannot drink" but rather feel comfortable with my choices. It just feels more natural.
