Same can be said of brownies for me. The box I made yesterday is gone.
I got a look from some one in the house and I hung my smudged face in shame. Wonderful tasty shame.

I am preparing to make my daughters favorite cookie. I am going to send them to her for Valentines Day along with a hoodie that is an irresistable shade of lime. I seldom make these because they are a real pain in the ass. Of course she loves them. It is shortbread with a dent in the middle that is filled with raspberry preserve then striped with an almond glaze. They are delicious and decandent.

Wow, those cookies sound great. Wish I had one for dessert!
Just got in after a long day's studying and drinking cups of tea with friends. Also went to AA earlier this evening and the mood there was really good tonight. A lot of gratitude was expressed by the speaker and by the people in the room. I also am grateful to be in the middle of my third sober weekend in a row. I am so happy that I have the option to wake up clear headed and alert on Sunday and Monday. I've done a lot of constructive things today and I think I've probably put a smile on a few other people's faces, too.
I'm going to make some supper now but I'll check in with you guys before I go to bed tonight. They're forecasting more snow in London overnight so I'm glad I'm not be going to be staggering home from the pub in a blizzard!

ok guys. Just made a lovely pork and vegetable stew, spiced with chilli and paprika. There's some left in the pot for tomorrow, too. Hooray! So, I've made it through to Saturday bedtime without a drink: my third sober weekend in a row looks well within reach now. I'll be back in touch tomorrow morning. Goodnight.

Did something tonight I haven't done in a while... Instead of drinking wine to relax while I cooked dinner tonight, I put some chill out music on. Something so simple but what a result... Just put on my Pandora Tori Amos station and let it pick the music for me. Nice and relaxing and comes with zero calories, hangover or regrets!

Hubby got home last night and we had a good chat then and again this morning. As much as I have this freedom from knowing I don't have to hide my drinking or bottles or lack of memory, he admits his side was basically the same- he isn't worried every minute of what he will walk up to the next time he sees me. We can look at each other morning, noon or night and neither of us has feat or shame in his/her eyes. I can give him a kiss instead of a quick peck and get away before he notices my breath. He said after nearly 20 years together he didn't believe this day would come. I have to hold on to this. Every day. Sobriety is so worth this feeling.

hey first time posting here but had a good weekend in terms of productivity! not so good in terms of thoughts. exercised a lot, stayed indoors because there's so much snow and i've caught a cold!
little over a month clean and sober and having a lot of thoughts of the past (things i regret doing, 90% thoughts about my last lover whom i can't seem to let go/ forgive myself for hurting through my addiction) wanting these thoughts to go away so i can be at peace in my mind!
anyways, stayed sober today and that in itself is a miracle
gotta remember to pray and keep up on my meditation. so happy i stumbled across this forum

Is it Sunday already? This weekend is just flying by.
Slept a little better Saturday night. About 6 uninterrupted hours, and that's pretty good for me. I'll take that anytime.
Went out to dinner with my ladies (wife and daughter) at Pho last night. Vietnamese fare. The ladies loved it, but mine was just so-so. Dude at the next table pounded 4 beers with his dinner. 2 weeks ago that was me.
After we went to a grocery store to get bacon. It wasn't our normal grocery, and they didn't carry the brand I prefer, so we got some sausages instead. Looking forward to a big 'breffuss'!

It's Sunday night here in Melbourne and I just found this thread :-) Made it through the weekend, though it was a white-knuckle Saturday, and am tucked in bed hoping for a better week to come. Three days sober.
