The last time I played Apples to Apples my side hurt. Such a good game! I'm glad to hear you had a good time without having to drink

I've had a cold here most of the weekend but I'm happy to say I made it through sober.

Hi Weekenders,
Checking in. Was a very busy weekend for me. Not much time to hang out. Busy is good for me and keeps me out of trouble. Saw my baby nephew tonight. Hung out with family. Was a good evening and a totally sober weekend. Thank you to all posters. I read every post and they always inspire me.

Peace,
Cas

Made it through a rough weekend. Said NO to a few social functions which I felt could be triggers for me.
Feeling a bit frustrated in general so I know to be extra careful during times like this...

So thankful to be SOBER and tomorrow is a brand new day

Good for you! That's so smart of you to say no to those social functions you feel may trigger you to make difficult decisions! I admire that! I haven't yet had to go through that hurdle!

Hang in there for the holiday - we had one a few weeks back and we all kept this thread going through it. I'm off today, so happy to chirp in if it helps (4.30am Monday here) Xx
woah, you're up early! Thanks for the support! I just worked out a little to get my mind off things and to hopefully get my body relaxed to get into bed!

I had a migraine at 6.30 last night and dozed off - so was awake at 4.30

Made it. Today was tough. I worked all weekend and my ex works at the same place, which has been constantly difficult for me. But today she had to bring her daughter, who I passed in the hallway. Hadn't seen her in a few years. But seeing this little girl again after being so close to being one of her caretakers was very hard. I wish my relationship with her Mom had never gone far enough to meet her daughter. I went on a long walk and just wanted to cry. When I returned I was ready to go home and sulk, unsure how to handle myself. But another worker in my department showed up and we played teamwork for the rest of day. Just the focus, I needed at that moment, though I'm now feeling sad trying to go to sleep. Sad but not worth giving up sobriety.

Monday in blighty,
keep on rolling along on the thread by all means you can see i type the most mundane of stuff so you can too if you just want to reach out . sometimes it's nice to say something to check in with SR and it's people without saying anything much at all, and it's something different to read …

same bat place , same bat time , next week bat fans
