Actually.....that post is way too medical.....deleting.... just good morning and love to everyone and I shall PM instead. :grouphug: |
Good morning, my sober March friends. Got a good night's sleep, just finished a wonderful breakfast of turkey sausage, scrambled eggs with salsa, and an English muffin with honey. Heading to work in a few minutes and I'm not even that bummed out about it. It's gonna be a great sober day! And National Puppy Day is definitely a holiday I could support. |
I do not understand salsa for breakfast. The muffin sounds good though. :) Happy Saturday peeps. :grouphug: |
MMMmmmm but salsa is good on one of those Santa Fe omelets with sour cream....now I want one! :eat |
I haven't posted here since last weekend. I've been AWOL! Because I've been drinking beer!!! I'm getting back on track. I was hoping to make it through 2019 without a relapse. Shucks!!! Now the goal is no more relapses. I checked back on 2018 and I relapsed 4 times for just a few days each time. Definitely not perfection but the best I've done since 2010. Ironically one of those 2018 relapses was around St. Patricks day! I'm determined to make 2019 even better and 2020 alcohol free! |
Beer Be Gone!!!!! If only the magic worked as easily as uttering the phrase. A friend of mine posted a quick thing on FB today that simply said "The magic you're looking for is in the work you're avoiding". Not saying that applies to you BBG, but it applies to me!!! Reading about food is making me very hungry. Fortunately, I went grocery shopping yesterday :) Lillian, good luck with tapering off that Ativan. I still need to take some anxiety stuff from time to time, but I take the smallest dose they prescribe and never more often than 1 every 4 days. You definitely have more to be anxious about than I do, and sleep is critical. Have a great day everyone!!! |

Nice work BBG! I enjoyed learning all the info and looking forward to a new lesson each day.....very helpful in getting me through the first 30 days.....Hope you like it! :grouphug: Well I can't decide whether to go to the store or wait 'til morning......I know if I wait I'll wish I had done it now LOL Back in a little bit :grouphug: |
Welcome back BBG - you don't have to present your plan for marking but ya gotta do something different this time man - ya Gotta make it stick. There's a lot of returnees today so I'm probably blunter than usual but FWIW (and with all due deference Suze) I prefer relapse - in my mind a slips something that happens to me, not my fault. I don't want to start thinking that way. I dunno about anyone else but relapse was always a choice for me - even when I wasn't aware of the fact it was a choice. If the word relapse makes me feel bad, that feeling bad might just stop me drinking again next time? :dunno: D |
Headed out to dinner in a bit. Got in a little nap today, which was awesome, but I'm feeling a little anxious. It's been a constant barrage of alcohol fueled events this week that I've managed to make it through, and I'm just a little tired of it all. I can't beg off this dinner, though - family stuff. Just wanting to get these thoughts out in the open before I head out - iced tea or club soda is the plan. Thanks. |
support BBG |
Back from dinner - that all went fine. Getting my dumb thoughts out in the open before they turn into dumb actions is a big help. Looking forward to an early night and a relaxing Sunday. BBG, hope the rest your day went well. All the rest of you Marcheros, have a good night - unless of course it's already tomorrow for you, then have a great day!! |
Fighting the black dog today with a big drive and music- works wonders |
Sunday morning startin' fluid :23: MITA ~ nice work on calling out the dumb thoughts.....stupid dumb thoughts! So glad to see you on the Soberbus! Not much planned for today.....there's an online meeting at 10 this morning that I normally attend....plus I should get some exercise, but first: more startin' fluid :23: |
Mornin' everybody. Startin' fluid time! |
Sending more love PJ and glad you got through that MITA. :hug: Morning BBG....coffee time for sure. Second one for me in a min. I meant to respond last night.....I was thinking about what Dee said.....I am actually still thinking about it. :) Mostly I love that reading here every day means that I am challenged to think in new ways....and that is essential for growth. So thank you Dee and thank you all. :) :hug: s ♥♥ |
