I have to agree with you Bandi, it is good the see all the newcomers! And the oldtimers! And those celebrating milestones! Because this is what recovery is all about, one day at a time!

Good morning everyone. I'm really loving this spring weather, makes such a difference in my mood. Makes everything seem a little less daunting.
Last night my wife and I had to take our kids to CVS to get their passport photos done. Yesterday was a bit of a stressful day and I was just wandering the aisles...the alcohol aisle happened to be right there next to where they were doing the photos. I strolled down that aisle, saw the pints of vodka I used to grab on quick stops at this same store. Sometimes you have weird feelings of not quite nostalgia, but almost muscle memory. I had one of those feelings. Not a craving at all, I had no desire, in fact my thought was "i'm glad I don't have to do this anymore". But part of me wishes I didn't even have that weird muscle memory feeling. For a second there I was second guessing whether or not I was actually making progress if just walking down this aisle stirred some sort of feeling. Maybe the progress is better measured in that my thought was "I'm glad I don't have to do this anymore" and the fact that I returned to the front to my family a man who's 8 months alcohol free and doing great.
