I forgot to toot my happy horn - 2 months for me today!
Congrats on the 2 months!! That's wonderful.

Today was one week for me.

Let's not let this one die out!!

It's almost 11 p.m. here and I'm glad to say I'm feeling tired and it's looking like my sleep pattern is returning to normal.

Hi to:
Anne, Michael,Angie,Paul,Arura,Star,Carol,Dreamz,Freddie and all others in the wings,

isnt it cool to know the sun IS always rising someplace in the world and that we are all connected through the desire to be sober and clean today?

Ohayo gozaimasu!

No worries about the "reference". Like I said, no way to know.

There are two meetings a week in Yokohama. I did go to one once, but I didn't really click. It was mostly guys who were about 20 years older and Navy vets, including the Catholic priest, who still spoke like they were in the Navy. It's not that I'm that sensitive to salty language (I bartended for over 10 years), but I mean some of it did go too far. I might go back in the future, but right now I'm happy with SR. I'm also looking at some more secular options.

Anyway, I just woke up almost exactly 8 hours after I went to bed with no alarm clock! Boy, do I like quality sleep!!

Do you do any scuba diving? I would love to go to Australia to go diving. If you want a relaxing hobby, I know no better.

So, what movies are you into?

Take care and glad you're here.
HIYA - well actually I'm 23 and 9 months but I am pretty childish 23 year old. Not in a bad way I don't think - I just don't seem as grown-up as my friends!!!

I have never been scuba diving - but I often holiday at the great barrier reef where most people go to do scuba diving. My most exciting adventure in Australia is swimming with the Dolphins at Seaworld on the Gold Coast - I'm definalty a beach chick!!!!
I LOVE SUMMER!!!!!

Throw a shrimp on the . . ., OOHHH NOO, I'm not going there.

But I'll go to Australia anytime. Just so long as I can strap a tube to my back and go live with the fishes for a while. Then I'll come back up and we'll have a feast.

Let's make it for late February/early March--I have to take a group of students to wild wonderful sunny Victoria, Canada in February, so I'll be ready for some sunshine!!

Happy sober Wednesday to all the HATZers!!

P.S. I'm thrilled so many people are having fun in this thread!! Thank you all.
