Bamboozle

Hello, people of SR. As some of you know, I have a drinking problem (and an eating problem [and gambling...you get the idea]).

I don't do face to face groups. I know there are others here who feel the same for various reasons. I wanted to create this thread to give these folks a place to chill or to receive support. Shoot, I may be the only one who posts here. If so, at least I made an attempt to improve my situation.

Here are some general guidelines (because threads like this one can get out of control in a hurry): Please do not bash any group. Please do not use this as a space to complain about any group. I'm trying to stay away from this brand of negativity--it doesn't help anybody.

Please do feel free to use this space to give support to your fellow SRers. Talk about your crappy or happy day and what you are doing to recover. Peace out. I'll be back later (even if I'm the only one.).

Great idea for a thread. I will join too. I don't get online to post alot but like reading the posts. I do not go to AA for personal reasons that would take to long to get into so that is basically how I found SR. I do alot of reading about alcoholism but I need to continuously hear from other sufferers even if it is not face to face. I am 134 days sober and I am nervous about the holidays. I don't think I will drink but it will be around and I can't do anything about that. I would just like to be happy again without the alcohol telling me life is great.

Is this going to be like our home group on SR:bounce

I'm in. I do have a group here: Bottoms... but I promise not to bash those idiots over there .

I'm having a great day despite coming down with a cold. I've done some laundry, read most of my homework due Saturday and am going to make cookies at school with my 3rd grade son after lunch.

After that, I need to make some dinner for the kids and head off to 2 yoga classes. Maybe, if I have time I can swing into the HS and see how my teen is doing at her swim meet on the way.

Keeping busy, that's my key to staying on the right track.

* it's cold here Dee. Stop rubbing your hot summer in please ?

I'm in, too Great idea, Bam!

I'm doing okay, today. We had a huge blowup in my family, last night, after my 15-year-old niece shot off her mouth one time too many. Today, I'm hanging out on SR, doing laundry, and avoiding anyone in my house that doesn't speak with a bark or a meow.

Hugs and prayers!

Hope

I am totally in!

Aw, Shoot! What fun is that going to be? No controversy? Well, I guess we can try it.
But, I also already belong to the Group of Whiners...and, the Cafe Central (where we don't drink coffee, but occasionally get into heated discussions).

So far, my day has mostly consisted of reading/posting here at SR. Hmmmmn...different day, same old stuff?
