TOPIC: What Are You Doing Today? Hi im Sharon and Im an alcoholic. By the grace of my HP and people like you here in SR I havent found it necessary to pick up a drink of "POISON" since 8-11-90. For that amd you I am truely grateful. What are you doing today? We have Earth Day in downtown Baton Rouge today. My spouse and I are planning to go this after- noon to see the group LeRoux play. In my first marriage and during my drinking career we would walk to the club not far away to go listen to them play. We would practically close the bar down. Drink till i was numb and dance my azz off. lol This group is homegrown and it will be nice to hear their old songs again even if its been yrs since I last saw and heard them. :) Today ill appreciate them even more because ill be listening to them with sober ears and a grateful heart. Rock and Roll is here to stay. :MusBand: |
Listening to music in my garage while attempting to clean it... Phil Lesh and Friends, good stuff... Hey, what am I doing here, I gotta get out there! Enjoy your show, yup, Rock and Roll is here to stay!! Mark |
Who doesnt like music. I always have. Even when i was pregnant i listened to all kinds and thus the result was raising 2 awesome kids both who played in their school band. One a trombone player and became the Drum Major his Senior yr. The other a French Horn. My son went on to major in music and both have a talent which will carry on forever. :) Loves music. |
I'm doing lots of walking in the beautiful sunshine today and enjoying the gorgeous daffodils and tulips everywhere. It's also a chance for Mr A and me to have some good discussions without distractions. |
Mr. C wanted to know if me making him aggita counts? lol |
i went to work and then after went on a 12 step call with my friend. the result is i have a new sponsee who wants the programme. its been a good day. God at work.....again! :) |
I just paid my bills and did my budget...I'm taking my son to get 3 pair of shorts and to buy a new pair of shoes i have had my eye on...also going to check out the draping on a dress and see what i can do with a scarf.... Then i will work on my collection, and have a good friend over for dinner...then a meeting and sleep :) I feel great about this day sober...it's what sobriety is all about ! |
A person Harley...l mean hardly ever fails if he follows the path of recovery and all that it offers. The proof is in those that we follow with many one days at a time collected together to get them where they are today. Im passing on my ESH today to those who are interested and remain teachable just like me. Ill throw in the forcast for free too. lol :Wman: |
I played the Trombone also :) and would teach other students in my school was like a tooter What am I doing? Well just taking it easy today. Not a lot going on it is Sunday, I've just been a chillin |
I have been napping all day and will probably go get back to it soon. I seem to do a lot of that since I stopped drinking. |
Hey Chance good to hear your still alive an kickin...hope your good...weve not had the pleasure of your good company for awhile...hope your well and happy sir..:ghug3 |

I did some cleaning earlier, caught up on this week's episodes of Coronation Street and then walked to the grocery story. Now I am doing a bunch of cooking as it helps me to de-stress. |
Thanks guys for sharing ur day with us here in SR. Letting others know how you r handling ur day sober or clean gives them en- couragement. Your body goes thru mental, physical, pshcological, spiritual changes as u continue on ur recovery journey. Handle each at a time and as needed. Staying sober for me was first then i was able to handle the rest later. It does get better but remembering it wont happen in my time. I had to let go and let my HP guide and protect me along the way. And He did. Today I spent a lovely overcast afternoon with my spouse sitting on the grass at our Earth Day celebration downtown Baton Rouge. We listen to La.'s own LeRoux sing New Orlean's Ladies and other favorite songs. We road our bike there and back before rain came down. :) Dont know if others were lucky to get out before they got wet. Glad to be safe and warm in my chair sharing with my online recovery group. You SR...! |
Well my day is winding down and coming to a close, it is off to bed with a book in a few minutes. The usual Sunday for me, started with Mass, then cooked a nice dinner, after cleaning the fish tank. Not very exciting, but I'm sober and that what makes it a good day. Nite all. |

Another day as Im grateful to be sober. Starting off ur day by asking PLEASE to help u stay sober & watching over us and guiding us gently along our journey in recovery. I have a plan to go to a noon meeting if nothing else distracts me first. The meeting is there for our benifits. It's a place to go if u dont want to do housework. Yardwork. Cooking...:c029: It's also another place where we dont need to Isolate. To feel or be alone. U and all these awesome people:grinattk: :23:Speaking of isolation....did u know it sneaks up on us? We can mask it with familiar props that are not in themselves bad. We can isolate ourselves in an attempt to clean up our apartments(and then not do the cleaning). Or we can isolate ourselves in churches or in sleep; we can use family, sweethearts, compulsive working, television. The list is long. The nicest way to end it is the way you and I do together. Reach out -- people can't read your mind. Say ouch! Someone hears. Always. Here's something to think about during whatever u do today..... An alcoholic is someone who wants to be held while isolating. |
Found out today that new dermal dangle jewelry will be in tomorrow at the tattoo clinic here in Town. I had one small one placed on the center of my chest. A little sparkle. :bling: Now ill go get the dangle one tomorrow and wait to get it put in a new piercing soon. :) Maybe closer towards my cleavage.:c018: |
I'm surfing the net and watching a movie. Relaxing and getting ready to go to bed soon. It was a nice sunny day today.:) |

Thought I would bump this up - I like to see how people choose to spend their weekend's sober, since it inspires me to find things to do, too. Today I am going to take the ferry to Toronto Island and wander around the park for a while. |
today I am going to do my weekly chores (clean my car, laundry, shop, cook) while working intermittently on my latest mosaic. I underestimated the work that goes in to covering a large rock entirely in glass, and it needs to be done by mother's day! Later I will hot tub, swim if the pool is warm, bbq for my room mate, and go to the beach. I hope to end the evening at a speaker meeting, last night's speaker was hysterical. I will take time to thank my HP/the universe/the Great Pumpkin/whoeveritmayconcern, because the powers that be have been working overtime helping me lately, and I am in awe and filled with gratitude for my life today |
Still cleaning the garage and still listening to dead head music... Fillmore East - April, 1971, good stuff... oh yea, gotta do some work on the old lawn mower, I hate that more and more every year... that's why I listen to music while getting my hands greasy. |
1 of my kids has a double header softball game and then 2 of my kids have a piano recital tonight so a busy day. |
Surfing the net and watching movies again this Saturday. Staying inside 'cause of thunderstorms and rain. Three dogs on the rug, keeping me company.:) A pleasant lazy day. |
Today I am up and at 'em nice and early. Going to finish some light housework, grab a quick shower, then find a park to go for a nice long walk in. Can't decide if I want to go to Toronto Island, the Metro Zoo, Humber River Valley, or Harbourfront. I think I will wing it and see where I end up. I am so thankful for days like today! |
It's going to be a lovely weekend here, so I'm going backpacking. Going to sit in camp, sip on pots of tea by the lake. |
FA cup Final day in England. Just bought my 2 litre bottle of Coca-Cola. In the fridge chilling. My team is not in the final, but I have never missed an FA cup final. I always used to spend the day in the pub drinking or at home drinking. Today I will watch the game with my dad... Sober. Have a great sober Saturday everyone! |
At work now--from 10-7:30, then off to an AA meeting at 8, then going to a friends bday party & JUST eating a hamburger maybe havin a soda...then leaving! Gotta excuse--working early in the morning ;), then I'll probably get back on here |
All times are GMT -7. The time now is 05:42 AM. |
