Trudging, sorry about your computer. If it's any consolation, the same thing happened to me. I knocked over a beer onto an IBM thinkpad a few years ago. It was like out of a movie: the screen went all sideways, flickered for about thirty seconds and then went black. I fried the laptop and had to get a new one. Of course, it still took another year or two to figure out that drinking was not working out for me and that I had to stop!

Check in, taplow.

Yes, I was thinking the same. :) :hug: s xx

Ditto + Citrus?

Yes, where is our girl? :hug: s

....I feel kind of awful now....it has been 5 days since we saw her......not about me....just hpe we see her soon. x

I’ve had good luck with laptops from the Dell outlet or even a refurb from eBay. Under $300 and they last forever or until I drop them lol.

Day 30. My weight loss has kind of stalled, but that’s ok. I’m getting into a very healthy routine and good things are happening. I started meeting an old friend at the gym. It gives us both some structure and it’s great to have a work out partner.

Oh, Joy I am so happy for your success and excited for your new endeavor.

Be well my friends. JC

Day 30? :) :) :)

Huge woo hoo.....awesome stuff love. :) :hug: s xx

trudging I'm sorry about your computer :(

Taplow and Citrus where are you? Hope things are ok.

Suze, how are you feeling?

Checking in real quick... this day at work was nonstop and I missed posting this morning. Tomorrow and Thursday are looking really busy too. But I did get to leave work on time today (or close to it) and come home and cook dinner for me and the bf, which felt wonderfully "normal" -- even though it's not actually normal for us LOL. I'm hoping it will become more so, though. :)

Day 38.

congrats on 30 days JimiC :)

D

I feel FABULOUS dear SBTS!!! :) :)
Really.....it's all passed and I was able to say goodbye to a few of my extra pounds and I feel all sorts of grateful for everything. :)

You are amazing woman....I hope you know that. :hug: s xx
So much love. xx ❤️

Off to bed all.....

So glad to hear that Suze :) xo

Oh, Willow! I forgot. La Croix is flavored seltzer that comes in pretty cans. It's really popular and trendy here in the US (or at least in NYC?) The grapefruit flavor is the most popular but my bf and I like tangerine the best.

I drink quite a bit of La Croix. Zero calories and if I get carbonation it keeps me from buying pop.

I’m so glad you’re feeling better Suze :)

La Croix sounds delicious. We have similar drinks here but different brands :)

Yes Taplow and Citrus, we hope you’re going ok, please come and say hi.

I got my car back from the mechanic. Ouch, they sure saw me coming! I just added to their Christmas fund. Oh well, the car needed it and at least now it should be fine for another 6 months :)

I just googled it, there’s only one place in Australia that sells it, some funky cafe in Sydney, a gazillion miles from where I live so I guess I’ll stick to my cranberry and sparkling water :)

I'm guessing it's not that different to the dozens of brands of soda water we have here Willow :wall:

Morning all! Evening Willow. Beautiful, crisp day here in London. Solid sleep last night and last full day in the office, woohoo! Feeling good. Thankfully, circumstances - such as this upcoming holiday with my mate who is hugely supportive, then going home for Christmas immediately after to stay with my folks, then going back up to statu with the same friend for New Year's, mean I won't have the chance to drink between now and the end of the month even if I wanted to. But having all of that stuff coming up means I won't want to anyway. The real test will come in January, but I am grateful to have this run of 3 weeks til then of conditions that will be massively conducive to sobriety.

Had to chuckle at your last post, Dee. People getting very excited over carbonated beverages around here!!!

Lol you’re right Dee :) And Briansy :)
I do get a bit excited over flavoured sparkling water though :lmao:
But I’m off to bed now, night everyone :wavey:

Where are you based STS? V early where you are or are you in the UK?

Hello everyone. I haven't posted the last few days but I have been looking in. Thanks for the interest everyone. I've not been feeling too good but there's no great calamity to report. I just feel like I can't be bothered. I'm not depressed though. I've just got no energy.
Today I thought I'd actually do something and go out meet one of my few remaining friends. I got to the station and the trains were cancelled - not the first time. I came home and wrote an angry email to the company, probably went a bit over the top. That's been my day.
I'm not drinking though - day 60 I think - and still part of this class and will be more active. I wish you all well. Everyone seems very positive. I also hope Citrus is okay.
Best wishes.
