You promise?

I am going to go have a shower. It might perk me up a bit. I'll check back later. when you are all asleep (except our antipodean team which is getting quite respectable in size now). I need to move some blood around my body.

Anna

And, those of us who are insomniacs and who often find themselves on the computer late at night - we'll be here too!!

pilgram! hey buddy yeah ive felt that way in sobriety alot. im so glad you wrote that because it made me feel less alone. ive had a couple situations in the past few months where ive had to cut off toxic people in AA and its left me feeling discouraged/alone occasionally. so here i sit at 11:19pm on friday night at home alone writing on my computer. when i read your message it reminded me that people feel what i feel and indentify with what i go through. pilgram we're the same people, you and i. know you're not alone. neither am i. none of us our.

Pilgrim

Wow. Thank you. I didn't drink today. It's 5.53pm. Thanks for being here. Thank you soooo much. It means the world to me. IO - thanks for the advice. It works.

It seems that when I was drinking I surrounded myself with lots and lots of toxic people. When we have to clean up, there seems to be no one left!!!!!!

I had a facial and dyed my hair. That always perks me up. I have a lasagna in the oven. mmmmmmmmm I love lasagna. Just call me garfield.

So what's everyone else doing??

Dee74

Call me Garfield too-LOVE lasagne!

I'm about to serve my special salmon fettucine-I'm a pasta addict!

I so understand about suddenly feeling like there's no one sober left to talk to-most of my friends drink.Thank God my husband doesn't and thank God for SR.

Hang in there Steph.I told Dee earlier I was going to watch a meaningful DVd tonight-you know-like 'Snakes on a plane' etc?

LOL

Thanks D. My tum is starting to look a bit like his too! I eat all the time.

I am off to take 14 yr old daughter's boyfriend home - way across the other side of the harbour. I am so tired and I have to take 12 year old as well cos I am SOLO mother. Trying not to get the pour meees here. So tired.....emotional stuff is draining.

Enjoy the chicken Dee. Is it KFC?????

Dee74

Pilgrim

Thank you but I ate it like a lady. It's the wine I used to ingest like that!!

Hehe

Dee74

Dee74

LOL. this was me before (but without the hat - beanie on instead)

Pilgrim

It was nice. All glittery. I forgot it can be nice driving at night.

How are you doing today Pilgrim?

Pilgrim

I am still on the same day as when I started this thread. You guys are just waking up now. Is that right??

In the end, it has not been too bad. Emotional and weird but it seems that the children never quite got around to leaving and my exh never quite got around to picking them up so....I get another night with them. And I have had a houseful of strange teenagers popping in and out. I always dreamed of a house where children would feel safe and at home.

I made lasagna (see above) and it all got eaten by my own and various others. There were six of us when I thought I would be all alone tonight. Things happen strangely these days. Not planned but .... I get a bit overwhelmed about how they work out. It's really really as if HP is watching out for me. Makes me cry.

So yea - I am sober and doing pretty bloody well under the circumstances thanks Indy!!
