As a fellow chocolate lover, there is a cake ... umm pardon the name ... Death By Chocolate Cake😋 🥮😋oh my gosh ... 🥰🥰 I make it in a Bundt pan, and use “good” chocolate (My secret ingredient ... shhh ) in addition to Nestle mini chocolate-chips. You can easily find the recipe online, maybe your son or a friend can make ??

Efra,
I loved returning to to Cal State Los Angeles, as a REAL adult! 😅 It’s true once you get out of school AND are able to go back ... WOWIE 🤩🤩!!!! I wish every wonderful experience for you my friend!
Hey, when I graduated from High School (I was the youngest of 3), my own Mother STARTED college. At 40 years old! She worked Full Time, cooked meals on Sunday for my Dad, and then went to first a local JR. College, afterwards transferred to CSULA. She worked her way through an A.A., B.S., and finally her Masters in Counseling.
I’m so proud of her❣️I loved to sit & talk about our classes. I was the only one of the kids who decided to go to college too. So sharing this experience made us even closer.👩❤️💋👩
I’m sure your kids are SO proud of you too. 53?? 😄😄 Got you beat too! Remember I didn’t even get on the Sober Recovery Path till I was 55. It’s NEVER too late.
❤️

I’m in for my next 24 too

Good evening all
Felt really run down for the past week. It’s the whole last two years piling up a bit, really. I feel exactly as I’m supposed to feel. I’m going to allow rest, love of family of friends..and disallow draining people and situations. What do I want my sober life to be like? I find myself just kind of going through the days without considering that, picking up garbage and lint without thinking.
On calls a lot this week with several people who were frustrated, angry, extremely negative. So I soak it up because I’m not thinking about the fantastic promise of my sober life. I forget. I felt quite sideways after finishing work today. I was miserable. A couple hours later, and after some prayer/meditation these gifts appear. I thought of a good friend and sent a silly text. I pictured her face and imagined her smiling. I planned a quick road trip visit to another friend. I cooked a delicious supper and drove around a bit. I actually got on the recumbent bike last night for the first time in ages. My knee is almost rehabbed. I finally was able to file my taxes and have a refund coming. There’s a tropical system coming that might break the extended hot drought next week. Suddenly the misery and negativity vanished. It wasn’t mine..why did I pick it up? I was just tired. Halt
Great feeling to let go of things that don’t belong to you. When I was drinking I soaked everything up from unhappy people and added misery of my own. Just rolled in it and felt like I couldn’t possibly escape. I guess, then, I couldn’t. Now I have a choice. Sometimes I forget until I am distraught. Then I remember and my heart is light. Things are ok. I’m not pouring alcohol down my throat anymore to cope like many are. I am free.
I am going to hang out here morning and night so I don’t forget again. 24 please and a great weekend to you

IcedVoVo: I guess we can let our moods or our unwellness (tired, hungry) affect our outlook.
I’m glad you used your tools and sober muscles to embrace the goodness once again!
24 more sober hours for me too please!
