Just trying to hang on. I have not wanted to drink. Just saying a prayer for everyone here. We can get through anything sober.

Yes we can.

Sending more love dear Red.....just so very happy to hear the news....both of your parents are recovering.....what a miracle.

Hoping you can have some time over the weekend to rest up a bit. Huge hugs. xx

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!
Thank you, cowboy. So often, I have found that life is what we decide it will be.

Flashers seem to have become ripples of light; not sure what that means but have decided to enjoy the funky psychedelic show for now.

Count me in, please.

Lots of love to all.

Red my prayer to you.
RIP grumpy cat.
Didn’t work today my body sore all over, but it is so wonderful I don’t have to used like an excuse for getting drunk......
