WOW!

If Arctic SA is here, I MUST join!

I think I'll be working all weekend, but will still manage to squeeze in a meeting and some SR time.

ForMe423 and ArticSA, it is so good to have you aboard We can do it together, just stick close to the thread
Checking in this Friday morning, the stupid wind toppled my trash can and I had to pick up garbage first thing in the morning gggggggrrr That got me on a grumpy start for my week end then I remembered that when my day starts going south, I can always catch myself up, sit down quietly and breathe then make a conscious decision to start my day over.
So my day actually started with me having a pleasant cup of coffee on my front porch. It s a better start than me picking up trash of the ground LOL
I am working from home today and also doing my secretary commitment at my home group this afternoon. I have been a bit sad lately, detaching from my best friend and his alcoholic madness. It hurts to let go.

I am also in making this weekend a sober one.

I've been pushed to the limit by some nasty people at work and felt like cracking up, giving in and getting drunk this evening to forget what a bad day it was.

Now I am home, still rather down and angry I can see there is no way drink will help me (did it ever!?). I am staying sober and spending the weekend on a job hunt, I need to make it better for myself and realise I am the only one that can do this.

Wishing all of you a successfully sober weekend, we can do it -any negatives we can turn around into positives!

MTN , Arctic , ethos , lizella , Marius , Nice to see you all

Just got home form work and have made a pot of tea and shall slurp that whilst i catch up with everyone , also will be watching the simpsons in a moment

Mex-m8 is off down the pub tonight with his workmates so i'll probably stay close to SR and watch some old black and white movies on u-tube . If he has enough early he might gimme a shout . He doesn't drink so i think he finds it a bit much later in the evening if all his friends are going to excess .

Am finally tidying up a bit round here and am having a sort out of my wardrobe , chucking all my slobby baggy t-shirts , no alcohol sweats no need for loose and baggy stuff especially as the weight is now coming under control as well .

Bestwishes, m

This will be my third weekend sober, but the 1st time I feel comfortable to make the commitment. I've been taking one day at a time. However, I finally feel free enough to say, "Hell yeah! Bring it on!"

I'm going to bid you all a good evening/day. Getting DD to bed then heading off myself, my carpal tunnel has flared up - wrist a bit painful all day but fingers numbing now, so splint on and I'll see what my kindle fire has in store for me

Sending you some good vibes! I was very sad a lot in the first months of my recovery. It will get better. It did for me.
Can you see the Northern Lights? That would make me smile.
