Thank you guys. LOVE LOVE LOVE the dog lovers thread. Thank you for that too. And I'm really glad to be still sober. I'm grateful every day for that gift. Don't know why my mind likes to talk me out of it.

So, this laptop makes it easy for me to be blabby - apologies in advance!

Been watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. Great story about chess, but also about addiction. Keep shaking my head no as soon as she starts to make a mistake with alcohol. "Oh no, don't do that...." says Lillian well in advance of the consequences. It helps me see that I've learned a lot here at SR, and I do thank everyone here for those lessons.

I am also addicted to turkey ~ and it is time to listen to my Turkey Voice and have a sandwich.

Peace and clarity to all,
Lillian

My eldest son rang me and wants to let me back into his life.
Talked for an hour.
A new beginning. Just sharing here, low key.

Plagued with constant migraines for weeks. Never any one cause- neuropthic pain from burns and broken bones and crushed vertebrae etc. Always grateful for life. Pain is real. Booze for me is deadly.
Support to all.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was small and pleasant. It was an incredibly busy long weekend.

Lillian, good to see you. I'm so sorry about your dog. I'm glad he has you.

MITA - what a beautiful baby. What a blessing.

Grateful for all of you. I remember when I joined SR and then this class and people would speak of the 2013 March class and I thought it strange they were all still talking to each other. Look at us.

Hey PJ, low key family reconnection - very good; migraines - very bad. Happy for you but hoping the migraines go away.

With everything going on, it seems self-care is more important than ever. I hope everyone has a good week and gets some time to do something nice for themselves

Be good ...

I just love it when MITA tells us to be good. It makes me want to be so.

Dog started to feel restless in the middle of the night....couldn't sit still. For most of the night I was laying awake thinking the chemo had worn off too quickly and he was relapsing. Then, this morning I realized he had invaded my pantry last night and scarfed up a whole big bag of corn tortillas. He had indigestion! He's fine now. Even dogs with cancer, still gotta be chow hounds.

Everything else that happened today, paled in comparison that my dog was still ok. I think this experience is a lesson in being grateful for every day.

Be good and enjoy every tortilla.

Peace out,
Lillian

Hey Lillian, I’m glad you like that . That’s really my tribute to our old classmate Casey. He would frequently close with that sentiment. I miss him, so it’s my way of keeping him in the group, and I try and take the reminder to heart myself.

Seems like your new laptop is a winner!!
