Class of March 2016 Part 82 |
Thank you, Dee, and every good wish to you for the New Year :) |
Thank you Caramel :) D |
Thanks Dee! :c017: Actually slept in a little (she says at 6:30 am) ~ startin' fluid and nothing really planned for the day.....everyone doing okay? Sooz I hope you're feeling better :grouphug: :nyk |
Thanks Dee. Good morning March friends and Happy New Year to ya'. I'm really looking forward to 2020. Good things are gonna' be happening I'm sure. |
Thanks for the new thread Dee, and Happy New Year to everyone!! I slept in until about 8am - it's a nice sunny day here so I can do some outside chores. Might take down the Xmas tree today - a little earlier than we usually do that but I'd like to have that space back in the living room. 2019 was an interesting year for me - I'm calling it "educational". I was sober probably 90% of time, at least, but I rarely felt like I was in the groove. Lately, things have been better - I guess I've been expecting something magical to happen - maybe I need to redefine "magical" :) Be good ... |
MITA I've been evaluating my journey too. It's a long way from perfect. When we started in 2016 I was an absolute mess and I drank almost as much as I did in 2015. Just couldn't get a handle on things. 2017 and 2018 were much better. Maybe in the 90% category. I have to put 2019 in the 90% category also. But with a big difference. My slips in 17 and 18 were spaced out over the year. So my totally alcohol-free time was not that great. 2019 my slips were all at the beginning of the year. So I've been totally alcohol-free for most of the year. I think I've crossed the bridge. Maybe I've finally seen the light. I feel different. I know without a doubt that if I stay vigilant 2020 will be my first totally alcohol-free year since 2010! Thanks, guys. I really, really do appreciate it!!! |
I hear you BBG. I remember my relapses - they have usually been around certain events and had the uncanny timing of always being in that 90-100 day sober range. My last one this past June was different for me - kind of scary - not physically bad (at least not any more bad than usual), but mentally bad. It took me a long time to get my head together. While I have not gone for professional help, I have opened up to a couple of more people and spent quite a bit of time reading around and posting here in different threads. That seems to have helped. I am grateful for all the support from our class and all of SR - it's a tremendous resource. Have a great day :) |
I agree.....this class is very special. I hear both of you.... :hug: s |
Maybe I'm ready to tackle cigarettes and my newly acquired sugar addiction! :lmao |
2020 - I used to dismiss symbolic stuff as bs, but a new beginning to a decade/year, despite all the stuff in the news, like each day being a new day, is a good thought, for me. |

We lost a SR member in another thread - not directly through addiction but associated stuff. I can't really stress any more than I have how crucial this struggle is. I hope this is the year you strike out for change 13th. D |
Nichole's passing left quite an impact even though I didn't know her. Alcohol related or not, our time is limited and this was another tough reminder. Rather than go into a lengthy post, I'll just go with the obvious: you're right. If I don't change, I will die. If it doesn't happen this year, it's unlikely. |
Recovery is there for everyone who wants it 13th :) D |
Change isn't magic dear 13th....it's a choice. All you need to do is book into detox. Just a week off drinking.....why not try it? :) :hug: s xx |
Good to see you posting, 13th. Recovery is about what we do now, this moment- today, and not worrying about tomorrow or feeling guilty about yesterday. |
Checking in w/ startin' fluid....back to work today so it feels like a Monday....:23: Thinking of going through another round of Annie Grace's 30 day challenge....at least reading through the lessons.....if anyone would like to join me :grouphug: |
are you feeling a bit wobbly Purps? D |
Nah, not really.....just don't want to stray and become complacent.....in unfamiliar territory now.... Edit to add: Maybe a bit wobbly Lol |
