Exactly what I'm thinking. For me it's like the training montage in a rocky film, gonna need that sober-fitness at some point

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
It makes sense to me to. s xx

I am perfectly OK at home with my husband. I see lots of neighbours outside.....I am actually being more social than I was before. But that's a lot about the weather...I stayed inside mostly during winter this year.

I am also feeling very lucky and grateful. s xx ❤️

I just painted both sides of three fence panels. Quite nice, weather warm when sun comes out; cold when wind blows; and ok when neither of those things was happening!! Tomorrow is going to be lovely and warm apparently

It is cold and rainy here in South Texas, which is unusual for April, but these are not normal times. We went to the grocery store and there were few people because of the weather. Shelves were well stocked except for there being no paper products. My wife made me wear a homemade face mask so there was less risk.

Just finishing up week five here. It looks like they will be extending work from home for most companies well into May or later.

Excellent work on five weeks!! Love it!

Night all - no problem not drinking today. I'm emotionally 'variable' but ok.

Have a good night everyone, see you tomorrow

I know right?

Like pizza at 4am....I thought it was the greatest joy.
Because I was drunk off my you know what.

And how much fun is it three hours later when the cat/kid/dog wakes you up and you cannot move without pain and nausea.

Nope. We do not need that. xxx s

Good morning everyone

Suze we don’t have daylight saving in Qld no time change for us

It’s 8.22am here. I had a bit of a sleep in this morning. Just having coffee and scrolling through SR.

Then back to more painting and gardening today. The weather is lovely for it. About 28C -30C most days, my favourite temperature

Have a lovely day/afternoon/evening/night everyone

Well, I was promised willow's appearance an hour early and when it didn't materialise I went to sleep in a terrible strop... 😂

Are you in oz too Venus?

I had quite a good cry last night too tink. I woke up in the early hours and read the link in newcomers page 'What we did'. Someone called green tea goes through week by week and his weeks 5-8 are marked by 'obsessing' and regretting the past. That's where I am at. Not all the time, I have ups too, but definitely quite a few downs with that.

The suns out and I'm going to paint lots of fences today. Catch me some vitamin Whatevwr-it-is

Have a good day people

Just don't drink today tink. If you don't drink today then your sobriety is completely secure

Thanks everyone !! Once i pass the 3 weeks my next goal is 80 days as when i gave up about 2 half years ago longest i managed was about 76 days, failed when i stupidly went on night out. (No chance of that now as i now don't actually have any friends to go out with !!!) Then my dad had stroke month later and I've struggled ever since.

But now i look forward to a much brighter future.
