Soup
 

It comes to something when a bowl of soup is the highlight of the day. Whether I can eat it/keep it down is another matter. No other point really, wanted to say I am here fighting. I really appreciate the support I have received here and a post titled 'soup' seemed amusing for 2 seconds.

Enjoy your soup, stone. Hey, ever seen that kids book about stone soup? Lol

Maybe I should start a thread called "Pop-Tarts"! That's what I kept stuffing my face with in early sobriety;-)

Lol, I couldnt eat it. I like the obscure post title tho, I think my next will be 'chocolate'. Thanks for replying Astro. :)

Stone I am sorry you are having difficulty eating your soup. You could try reading your soup " Chicken Soup For the Soul" :)

Hi Too, I have heard of it. Any good?

I like the Chicken Soup books, very inspirational!

Just for you, stone:

Three travelers stopped in a small town on their way to the city. They had tents to sleep in, but no food or money. They knocked on doors asking for a little food, but the people were poor, with little to eat and nothing to spare.

Cheerfully, they returned to their camp and built a fire. "What are you doing?" asked a bystander, "Building a fire with nothing to cook?"

"But we do have something to cook!" they said. "Our favorite dish, stone soup. We only need a pot."

"I think I can find one," said one of the bystanders, and she ran home to fetch it.

When she returned, the travelers filled the pot with water and placed two large stones in it. "This will be the finest soup we've ever made!" said the first traveler. "I agree," said the second, "but don't you think it would taste better with a cabbage in it?"

"I think I can find one," said another bystander. And so it went the whole afternoon until, by evening, the travelers had a hearty, fragrant feast, which they shared with the hungry townspeople.

Sometimes it is the simple things, Stone. I was sharing in a meeting today how my gratitude list yesterday started with Salad... (I was having a tough day and couldn't think of anything until I remembered this GREAT salad I had... of course, that opened the floodgates to all the things I am grateful for)

I guess we go together... Except who'll be the bread? lolol xo

Yeah, there are several of them. There is even one for recovering alcoholics titled "Chicken Soup For The Recovering Soul". I have not read that one yet, but I think I will.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

I was too shaky for a hot anything!

I sipped room temp Ginger ale + Saltines
(I think you call them biscuits)
Jello was also doable.

Hang in Stone.....Hugs

hang in there stone...

I ate crackers and ginger ale too...

Be gentle with yourself my friend, even if you can only do a bit or 2 at a time while room temp. try it....ya gotta stay hydrated.


Welcome X

Astro,

I thought of Stone Soup also - but then - the thread is called Soup, and it's authored by Stone, so maybe it's not such a coincidence after all lol!

Stone,

If all you can manage is fluids (non-alcoholic!! lol) , drink all you can. I loved gingerale too - good for a restless tummy.

Xwinner,

Welcome to SR - glad to have you on board!

Rowan

May there be many more bowls of soup in your future stone!

Stone,

Hang in there, my friend!

If a bowl of soup amuses you for a couple of seconds, that's great! Whatever it takes.

Stone, soup was about all I could eat when I was detoxing, just eat it slow, but eat.

Congrats on day one!

My thoughts are with you. I am not much for praying, but I will make alot of wishes that you will be OK.

Hang in there!

Well I am still hanging in there on my journey thru hell, still cant eat so I am drinking tons of water.
