I am so happy I have stopped.
Taking myself out today as the weather has cooled.
Love to all. ❤️

I understand you with regards to the fires, it’s so hard to wrap my brain around. One of my younger coworkers was having a moment yesterday afternoon and got very teary and she’s usually the most upbeat and energised person I know. Wish I was able to give you a hug and go have a coffee together to sort through the feelings. xxxxx

Day 11. 4am here. Woke at 3.30am with that awful feeling of dread and shame. Not a drinking dream or anything but feeling bad for eating 2 cookies and 2 tunnocks teacakes yesterday. how times have changed. Been eating so well too.
Love to all. Will try and get back to sleep.x

I am now at the stage where I come home and don't think about drinking booze, obviously that isn't going to be the case every day as I know weekends my cause some cravings but my work week is getting easier with wine o'clock cravings..
I'm shattered so I'm off to bed..
Good night

Aw, how bad is the weather if it effects your internet!! Glad you were able to get in to work early to browse/ check in! :-)
I really need to get This Naked Mind. Will head to the library on Saturday to see if I can find it.
Hope you had a lovely day! xx
We live in the middle of nowhere so the internet is really bad at the best of times. Less than 1/2mb on a good day. If it rains or really windy it goes off completely!
Hope you enjoy the book

A tunnocks teacake isn't a real teacake. It's a biscuit base with a marshmallow topping all surrounded in chocolate

Yes....almost, but the ones from my youth swirled up like a soft-serve ice cream.
And these look like Chocolate Royals. My fav biscuit.

Hey guys sorry for clogging things up with all my replies, I hope to get a laptop later this year so I can navigate the site better and reply to all in one go rather than individually.
I planted zinnia seeds on Sunday and they are already sprouting. I planted peppermint seeds as well (in a pot - not directly in the garden) but they must be germinating still. On Sunday after I cleaned up my little porch area and finished repotting things I sat outside and a lady from the flat next to mine came over with her can of rum and coke and we had a chat (well I listened a lot for 45 minutes!) and I happily sipped my ginger cordial with soda water and didn’t feel like I was missing out by not drinking alcohol. Most of her conversation was drinking related, but that’s what we talked about when I was drinking too. It just made me glad that drinking isn’t my big focus anymore. She was off on Monday and planning to get Day drunk, which I have done many times myself. The last week of my holiday could have been spent that way. I’m so glad it wasn’t.

Wow, day drunk is a term in Aus now.....damn, that's a shame.
Guess the land of TV shared that one with the whole world, and it is now a thing. Damn again.
Loving all of your posts Sunny....you go girl. And I didn't help you with flowers yet....are you doing seeds because of cost? I am thinking we need to get you to Bunnings. ASAP. And then we can go shopping with you. Hmm....If you have Bunnings....not sure what states Bunnings is in....they have the best flowers and garden everything....they are like Lowes. s xx

Good Morning,
RAL - Thank you, health declined again but i got one, half decent day in. I hope that you start to feel better real soon!
Venus - Glad you are looking after yourself and getting things done. Thanks for the heads up about Dee.
Dee - Get better soon.
Steely - I hear you re not having craving but being vigilant, the sneaky AV comes out of nowhere when you least expect it. Hope your day out was pleasant.
Red - Going to bed sober is the greatest. Ive found sugar hangover are almost as bad as alcohol ones, and seem worse during early recovery....
Sunny - Glad work was good & you love your job & workmates.
Bob - Congrats on Day 6
Optimist - Fatigue is the worst, but i know it gets better so hang in there! I have been watching the Transformer movies with my teenager & for some reason i am imagining Optimist Prime when i read your name.
Vinny - Great you have been able to get to the gym. The weight sure can just melt off once we are sober, I hate shopping for clothes but when its because your pants are literally falling down because you have lost so much weight it aint so bad!
Stevie - Dont know if i have missed a post of yours but thinking of you. You too Coder, Ryker & Jewel....i know i am missing someone....it'll come to me.
Im afraid i am not very exciting but I am still sober and that is all that matters. We got this guys

I can't reply to everyone individually, I'm trying chill, and I become more anxious thinking I might have missed someone. All I know is we are sober. Yes!
I'm lovin' the tunnocks tea cakes, and I'm lovin' the flowers.
Sunny's posts are great.
And I hope you are up and about soon Dee. Back going out is awful. I wondered where you were. Get well soon.
Love to all. ❤️
