Hey all!
I've not been around much since my slip up last week but boy it taught me a lot!

As in, the AV is a worthless piece of crap and will lie at every turn: there is no good thing about alcohol which unfortunately I keep having to relearn but I am learning , and I refuse to give up. I absolutely hate who I turn into when I drink.

To borrow a quote from Game of Thrones(Sansa Stark)-
"I'm a slow learner, it's true, but I do learn"

I didn't drink yesterday. First time I remember brushing my teeth before bed in so long!

I had a favourite song when I was very little that is impossible to find now....

"One, two, three, three little kittens are we
I'm black, I'm brown, I'm greyyyyyyyyyyyy,
We are as happy as we can be,
Oh boy, hoorah, horayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!"

Welcome back, Sam and good job Splash!

Cute song, Venus. I had 3 cats at the same time for a few years and it was the best.

Hi Sam!
Thank you for this quote. As you wrote, I hate myself too when I drink. And I hate alcohol. It’s not good for anything.
I too, have not been around much.
I keep slipping up. Not in a huge way. But enough so that I’m not happy with myself.

I couldn’t run for the last week because had my eyebrows tinted. (You can’t sweat). But that’s over now.

Leaving to see my family on the east coast next week. I must get sober.

I know! So surprised that I've done it! How are you doing? (Oh, please don't say it the way Joey does....)

Now you’re going to have a dog in your group if you’ll have me.

I was member of a few different classes but had some bad binges lately. Today is day 1 for me so dealing with some fun withdrawal symptoms. I’m determined to make this the last day 1. So sick of the poison and what it’s done to my mental health, physical health, and relationships.

This will be No beer November for me. Hope everyone has a great sober day

Hi Peke! We know what's better for us-being sober- we really do. I'm determined, and I know you are too.

Hey Splash-I don't think I said Welcome, so welcome!

BD--glad you are here, it's good to have a dog to balance the cats.

Lixie--yay to day 3!

Hi Lixie!
I’m hanging in there. Trying to be strong. Not sure why I can’t get a month under my belt. (who is Joey?)
Hi Venus!!
Hi Basset! I have three little Pekingese!!
Sam, 2/3 dogs sleep in my bed. It’s the best.
Hi Magnum and Anna!
Hi Zencat.

Joey from Friends. That's sort of his catch phrase.

And guess what! We were expecting a guest tomorrow, but there has been some kind of misunderstanding, so she was suddenly standing outside our house tonight! My goodness, had this been three days ago we would be half way down the second bottle of bubbles, unable to make a good impression, but tonight we could open the door and welcome her with open arms. Phew! I'm liking this sober life.
