Cool name TT, think you had said that before but I'd forgotton, seems like a good motto to live by I reckon.

On to day 96, still got the cold so still moaning.
Just as well I'm a man and can cope with these things !!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone 
How are you. Glad to have you aboard Least and congrats on 30 days

Said I'd stop counting at 90 I think, as you can see I haven't.
Not sure I will, I kind of like counting.
Day 97 almost done.
Spent the day at the safari park with the kids today.
My wee lad had his painted as a giraffe and unlike last time we went, we stayed right until the park closed and they kicked us out as I didn't want to rush home to get some voddie inside me.
Happy days

95 days today! I guess I can join this board now. Missed you all. Haven't felt like a part of things lately. Have experienced a bit of depression, but who hasn't. I have had incredible urges to drink again lately and I thought I had better get back on this site and start posting again. Its helped me thus far. Hope everyone is well.
Seriously Fun!

Day 97
Glad you are here today Horse!
Counting....LOL. I was this way BEFORE AA. So that was one part of the program that I fell right into. I loved my advent calendar as a kid. And then right after that the countdown to my bellybutton birthday. And I always loved sitting in my classroom as a kid with the teacher counting the days with little sunshine magnets, or rain cloud magnets. I was mesmerized.
See....I'm hopeless. I NEED to count.
And in all seriousness...counting helps me feel stronger in my sobriety.
But basically I'm a person who has that little switch in my head, (or sleeping dragon on my shoulder). And once I have flipped the switch to sobriety, and put the dragon down to sleep...I am able to live each day sober. Counting is just my little extra OCD thing.
See Visual, visual.
Fizzy...I have had the exact same experience with taking the kids to the park, and then just wanting to get home to drink. Especially after buying some dumb $15.00 drink at the park, only to find it has about one ounce of alcohol in it...bleath!
That is another thing I love about sobriety so much. Losing the obsession to drink when I am trying to do other things. But actually being able to be "in the moment" of what I am doing and that activity being the center of my attention. It is such a glorious freedom to have fun and enjoyment of life without being a slave to the next "fu*k up fest".
