Had to write this, i have just finished watching WATCHMEN and it is the worst film i have seen in years, if u rent it rent another...dreadful. If it was a video tape i would destroy it and pay the fine at the store just to give the poor bugger who tries to rent it tomorrow a break whilst the store orders a replacement lol

Classical, well said. Nice to see encouragement from another class here. Guess you could say we're all part of the same school if you wanted to take it a step further.

Congrats on the 225 days. Over in Class of July 2009 we have a small group compared to when we started too, but it's been real helpful going through the time phases together.

yeahgr8 and bohemianzen, thanks for saying hi in the July '09 thread. drop in any time

I would like to join the group. Sobriety date 7/24/09.

I had been trying to moderate, but have realized that it will be better for me to just stop entirely. I ended up with numbness in my fingers, feet, etc. after a "nice" night of wine drinking last night. I think my body is telling me enough is enough.

Hope to keep up with you all.

Had a drinking and gambling dream last night. In the casino with a couple of people, got 2 cards on me one credit one bank card! Anyways i was on holiday with these people and had 6k in the bank account and 3 k on my credit card. I dreamed i woke up and was trying to remember how i had got on the previous night, i remembered that i had lost the 3k which was gutting and then thinking, as i did in real life, that i can't have been as stupid to lose the other 6k, leaving me with no money! Well same old i look in my pockets and find receipts from the cash desk which leaves me at a big fat 0!

Woke up for real this morning and thought i don't have to do that again...ever! It's amazing how insane i am from all the time drinking and gambling in all aspects of my life but i know it will get better if i stay on this path!

It's so nice to wake up and it be a dream instead of the almost daily reality:-)

Day 2 here. My brain feels like mush....body is sore. Looks like it will will take longer to initially recover from "going out' this time. Still dehydrated. Did go to work both yesterday and today--able to put my "game face" on around others--guess I still have that abillity....the ablility to fool others--which although may seem like a blessing might actually be a curse. No one knew apparently, even my own family...which I don't see how that was possible.....very, very strange.
