Knock all you want, ain't nobody home

I've found myself with an unexpected night on my own as both my kids have either an extra-curricular activity or a last minute invitation to a basketball game.

The minute I found this out, I'll be damned if my AV didn't saunter up my driveway and start knocking on the door. What a conniving, smarmy little beast!

I didn't even open it as I knew if I even cracked it just a tiny little bit she would barge in with her jug of wine, plop herself down on the couch and settle in for the night. Instead I told her thru the door that I had already accepted another invitation tonight for a party at SR's place. She told me that was ok, she didn't mind - she'll be back again another day.

Somehow I don't doubt it.

The very first thing I did when I got home from work was order myself another heaping helping of 24 hours of sobriety on the appropriate thread.

This is just another reminder that I must remain ever-vigilant and keep coming back. After all, it works when I work it, right?

Thanks for being here, everyone. I'm standing strong with you tonight.

I'm right beside you, Raider, but you gotta fight your own beast!

Excellent!

Forward not backwards. Up not down. Right not wrong. True not false.

GOOD JOB HAF!

Great idea, Owl. My son plays baseball so lord knows I've got enough bats around this place to fight off a small army. Let me be clear though: I do NOT want to have to fight off a small army of AVs! I'll keep 'em handy just in case - yet another tool in my recovery toolbox.
