But sometimes reading the views of those we respect can affect our points of view....and I like that....I like to ask myself if what I think is still valid and relevant. Sometimes it isn't.
I am having a big think about slip v relapse because I need to consider the way I look at all of this, for me and others I talk to every day.
And goodnight dear D. xx

Happy Sunday Morning. Almost 7am here, so time to get moving.
Thanks for the support. You’d think this feeling of waking up hangover free, which is just always awesome, would easily trump any thoughts of drinking. That’s not always the case for me.
Suze, I like your thought process regarding Dee’s comment. I think it’s good to challenge our thoughts and be open to new ones, whether we’re talking Sobriety or any other topic. Something I need to remember myself!!
Be good ....

Good morning Marchers. Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. Was running late for work and then ended up staying late and just got kinda got sidetracked all the way around. Didn't drink though.
Plan for today is as short a work shift as possible. Maybe an AA meeting tonight. Clean the house in between. I'm ashamed of the dirty dishes in my sink right now. And of course not drinking. No matter what.

Happy Monday gang. It's been a hectic morning so far, so I'm glad I'm clear headed.
Sounds like it was a busy Sunday for you Casey - glad you are checking in today. Hope you get some of those domestic chores done - they are a pain, but it's a good feeling to get the place squared away (at least for me!)
I'll check back in later

Good morning. Had a good weekend. Friends and kids and stuff. The house is looking like a house. I'll take pictures tonight.
BBG - I think you are doing a great job. You are so much better than you were 3 years ago. That being said, this alcoholism stuff is tricky and one day you might not make it back. That is my fear always. What if I just slide down the hole and never make it back? I'm finding this forever thing is not a bad gig. I know you can do it. You're pretty awesome.
Suze - I hope you got your meds figured out. Being in pain is horrible.
Casey - have a great day! I went to a new meeting on Thursday. It was all men (but not a men's meeting) and they were all older. (yes, even older than me) It was, er, different. They were nice and welcoming. I'll probably go back but it won't be my home group.
Purps - I'll check out the Motley Crue movie. It's funny you watched it with your mom. I could never do that.
MITA - I'm just freaking proud of you. You have made it through some tricky situations. Well done.
Lillian - hugs. I hope you get some well-needed sleep soon.
PHX - hope all is going well down under. You were in my thoughts this weekend. Keep being awesome.
Have a great day, Class!

We are headed out to dinner and then the last event of the speaker series. Tonight is Jane Goodall, so should be good. As important as Dr. Goodall's speech, is that tonight they will announce the speakers for next year's series!! While they do serve alcohol at the venue, it's not really a drinking event so that's nice.
Have a great night all - Sam, Sam, Sam!!!

I am okay. My scars are itching like scratch till they bleed itchy (which I do not do- much), and bits of me are very sore, and fighting the black dog, sleep way out (night before- went to bed for 4h at 0500, 3.5h sleep last night)...and waiting for phone call about stupid surgery....
So- more art, more journal stuff, more effort for meetings and garden and drives with music and doco's and rest/eat/hydrate.
When I get THIS way, thoughts of family drift in. So then comes uninvited- stupid grief.
My recovery is strong and doing all I have to- plus more.
But it sucks.
