I am a vegetarian who doesn't drink! Definately, not boring. Maybe we should start a club!

Happy friday!

Celebrated 19 months sober yesterday... so I AM IN!! Think I'll celebrate again this morning with a nice long soak in my hot tub.....

Going to my very first AA meeting tonight so I can pick up my 18 month chip. A little nervous about that but need to hold that chip for strength, so I am DOING IT! Plan to sing the praises of SR if I am asked to speak......

How about some friday songs?

Joe Jackson - Friday

The Cure - Friday I'm in Love

Count me in!!

Early to bed tonight I think as up early for work in the morning!! . . . tomorrow is a day of sport, Ireland play England in 6 Nations, Olympics is on, and I'm heading to an Ice Hockey game tomorrow night!!

Looking forward to that fresh hangover free feeling on Sunday morning!!

Let's do this!!

I'm here, and I'm in. I've got half a package of leftover bacon in the fridge. Maybe I'll fry it up as a little pre-dinner snack for my husband, son, and I!

See? You people are an inspiration toward a better way of life!

Jumping In - Have a few hours coming with temptations looming , a foodie dinner out tonight friday (really, my hot trigger button, fine wine with fine food ....)

then people over for game night Saturday, thats a little less tough cause I can make lots of tea for me!

Weasel you make a lot of sense and I like your posts - direct and simple -

sigh - does it really get easier?

Just sopped by for a moment, and was instantly reminded that this is always a bacon thread. And here I was starving myself (as I am prone to do) while an open package lies in the fridge.

Bacon is now cooking...

It sure did for me once I started looking forward to the things I could do because I am sober and not worrying about the drinks I'm not having.

What is "leftover bacon"? I can't make sense of this.

Halfway through day 9 (and Saturday) have had a full fun filled morning with kids and family. And chicken and BACON ranch subway ....extra bacon!!....

Am going quite good so far this weekend, apart from eating myself sick...red flags tonight when I'm supposed to go out to gfs place for drinks (no one knows I've stopped drinking yet)
