LOL, stores are not allowing people to return things they hoarded, like Lysol, toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, etc. Serves them right, I have no sympathy!:a043:

Night all. Hope everyone is ok, see you tomorrow

Hi Billymac :) I’m just starting out on day 34 (Saturday morning) so yes I think we’re still on the same day :)

I occasionally have the rose tinted specs on about a glass or 6 of wine, but I know it’s the AV talking, and as soon as I notice, I pull those glasses off and trample them underfoot.... because I know it’s never 1, it’s more like 6, and then the cycle begins again, drink, hangover, drink, hangover.... yuk. Nope not worth it.

Be I totally agree with Suze about your wife’s confusion. I’m sure she cares but doesn’t want to get hurt again so is keeping her barriers up. I can totally relate to that, but I think with time, and with you consistently working on being the best version of you, there is hope :hug:

Suze I can’t believe that tp lady! No wonder we still can’t buy tp here :(

I’m just having coffee and about to join a zoom exercise class. I’m trying to do at least 3 a week if I can....

Happy Saturday morning from Oz

Yaay! Willow is here! I can go to sleep now 👍

I am doing all of our shopping online, and there is NO TP now.....at all....I am horrified that I had to pay $3 a roll to get some.....but I did it. 24 rolls. People are in the process of just getting scared where I live....until now it has been mst young people and many older people who refuse to believe. Honestly, what does it take for them to see? :hug: s xx

I still don't get the panic buying thing.

Hi everyone awake early this morning and looking forward to a sober weekend, day 20.
It's funny but i think the world self isolating has took pressure off me a little, as im single and have no friends i used to feel really lonely and feel odd to everyone else who had others. Yet now ive realised im ok just me and my son and im happy and im lucky to have him, i guess ive realised im really grateful for what i have, and have stopped trying to chase what i thought i needed. Sorry not sure if that ramble will make sense to anyone.

Hope everyone is well

Willow00 04-04-2020 12:01 AM

That makes perfect sense Tink :hug:
I think we’re all starting to be more grateful for what we have ❤️
And well done on 20 days, that’s wonderful :)

Be123 04-04-2020 12:04 AM

Makes sense to me Tink, it's a great leveller this thing, we're all in the same boat. It must be very hard for those people who live alone, I think. Your son will keep you busy at least!

Awake and feeling good physically. Had a very in depth dream about planning (not drinking, just planning) to go out drinking with some friends. Interestingly the dream was with two mates I haven't seen for years, who I started drinking with when I was young and it was fun. The plan was set for 'tomorrow'.

Funny what the brain does to process this!

Good morning everyone.

Day 23 here. Went to an online SMART meeting yesterday. Not sure if it's for me but I'm going to try another meeting in 2 hours.

Be123 04-04-2020 01:15 AM

I find online meetings a bit hit or miss tbh. I am using materials from here (warning - some may seem overly basic but I find its worth keeping on with it as there is some really useful stuff).

Congrats to everyone :)

I signed up when you posted this before. Did the intro to SMART module. Going to start the 6 hour module maybe today.

It's a beautiful day in Ireland. Must get out for my government sanctioned 4km walk today

Dee74 04-04-2020 01:39 AM

both things sound great FF :)

Thats what I'm doing. I like the lectures and stuff on the brain. I'm a real practical person so stuff like brain recovery works for me more than ideas like a Higher Power

Good morning, congratulations to everyone on being sober, more whole person this fine Saturday. I have to start doing my taxes, but at least this year it will be with a clear mind. They are giving us a 90 day extension if we owe money which is nice.

I have to go out and buy more fresh fruit and veggies today. To wear a mask or not, that is the question.

Taking BE123’s lead and going to read Smart Recovery this weekend. I need to do more this time around other than bide my time and count days.
