Hello all! It is a rainy day here in Belfast but luckily no flooding - hope this incoming storm doesn't affect those of you in flood areas too much. I have just finished a big piece of work so I can take it a bit easier today heading into the weekend. I feel very relieved and pleased I was able to juggle everything. This week has zipped by in a bit of a blur.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about the shooting - it is so distressing that these things are still happening so frequently, I'm sure it must be frightening when you are so close by.

Happy birthday to Toots - are you doing anything nice to celebrate?

Welcome to Sydneyman - I just found this group a few days ago too so we are both newbies

I have forgotten your name (sorry) but congratulations on sending your book off to be printed! What kind of book is it?

Have a wonderful day everyone x

Next week is likely Grandma’s last week in OH as she has stopped eating. I would like to sit vigil to help my mom, but now is not a good time to travel due to the virus, It’s definitely a full circle of life packed into a week type of week.

I was MIA from my family for so long as an active addict and I have a lot of guilt about not going now because of it. I feel like I am repeating the same behaviors of being unavailable when it counts.

I hoped everyone has a good weekend.
I am sending prayers for your grandma and so much love darling Serene. s xxxxxx ❤️❤️

Welcome, Sydneyman!

Happy Birthday, Toots!

Found out yesterday that the shooter lived just a few blocks from my place! I'm sure I've walked by his house at some point. You just never know these days.

Have a Fabulous Friday, overs!

Hiya Sophie, we’ve got rain here in U.K. too. Storm Jorge coming soon!

Suze, keep safe in the snow.

FBL, it sounds like he had a grudge with work!

That's what they are saying this morning. I'll never understand what compels them to do what they do.

Happy birthday Toots!

Welcome to the Overs Sydneyman!

SE, we have to learn not to continue to beat ourselves up for our lives while actively addicted. We have all learned in one way or another to make amends and move on. My thoughts are with you and your Mom and Grandmother.

Andy, great training program, eh?

Have a good day all!

Welcome sydneyman!

Hi Sophie :-)

Happy birthday Toots

SE, Stargazer has it right - the guilt feelings are rough but that doesn’t define us now. Life goes on ... From the perspective of my old age and time, I still have regrets but they are not so sharp and painful anymore.

Mags, Sassykitty didn’t wake me up this am at all (third night with automated feeder). I woke up deliciously late with her curled up behind my head.

Hi to all!

SE, as has been said, forgive your past self. I know your grandma would want you to focus on yourself and the potential new life you are hoping to bring into the world.

Thanks for all the well wishes folks, I played golf this morning and this afternoon we drove to the highlands and have just had a wonderful meal. Years ago, my birthday would not be worth a darn without a boatload of booze in me. Man, am I happier now!

Good morning Overs

It’s February 29 and leap year. This is my second leap day sober!

Wind is howling and the heating is on....a lot to be grateful for.

Toots, pleased you had a good birthday...being sober for it makes all the difference.

Have a Super Saturday my friends xxxx

Mags, I can tell my brain is aging - when you said “second leap day sober” my brain focused on “second” and went “what?” for about 30 seconds. Then I got it :-)

Hi PJ

Have a good day to all!
