Well it's been a month and no action here so I thought I'd say hi.
My b-day was this month, too, Aussie. Did yours come and go yet? Happy 60th!
Hope you're all well, no news here. Pluggin' along just fine, considering. Much love to you all. xo
PS., is it me or did the site change a little? Things look different.

Happy belated birthday Mirage.
Yes my 60th came and went a none event I thought my 60th would be special but covid19 put a stop to that.
I wanted to be able to say I was sober when I came back but I am not , I don't even want to try, I hate all the horrible things going on in this world right now .I am back at work now things have started to open up again. Sorry to be a downer after being absent for so long , just giving you the truth.

I hope you change your mind Aussie.
I'm going through all those horrible things too - Mirage is as well.
Don't let your addiction use that as an excuse.
This year has shown me I've taken simple things like seeing my mates, going to concerts and going to the shops for granted.
I want to get through to the other side of this and make the most of my life.

Me too...re focusing on the things I am grateful for. Which honestly, you made me focus on again. That sounds over the top rubbish, but I mean it.
Having you here again and striving for the healthy happy life you and all of us deserve has really egged me on. ❤️

AUSSIE!! So glad to see you here and hopefully back. I know, things are rough, I know they are downright depressing. We're feeling it everywhere. Our restaurants with limited capacity just opened yesterday. Hair salons in a week. Everyone has roots and needs haircuts. lol Hopefully the jobs will start to come back, along with the economy, as we start to re-open. I've gained 7 lbs in the last 3 months. We were really comfort eating for awhile there, like it's all we had in our lives. I still haven't been to a grocery store since March. D has been going for us as he's been going to work, too. Anyway, I need to drop these pounds, I feel awful. I crave sugar and don't resist it very well. It's an addiction like anything else, I guess and I've been caving in and then being sad and mad at myself. Wow, I just realized typing this that it's VERY similar to alcohol for me. Hm. I need to figure this out instead of giving myself a pass all the time. Anyway, sorry, more about YOU. I'm so glad you're back and that you feel more ready to give sobriety a shot. Please come around and get support from the threads. It's winter, a good time for you cuz it's not so hot! Please get back on the bus and feel better. Thanks for checking in, I was thinking a lot about you.
Thanks for being here Venus and Dee! I'm grateful for you, always. x

(I'm trying this "quote" thing for the first time. Let's see how it works, I've not done it before.)
Oh I did it! Very cool.
