Prayers going up for Tommy.
Sorry you are going through this, Ken, but thanks for the reminder. I often post that my addiction is a liar and a thief that would kill me if I let it. Tommy's plight proves I'm not exaggerating.
We have a lot of fun in the sober weekender thread. I am all for that. It is good and proper for us to demonstrate in the newcomer's forum that sober people attain rich and rewarding lives. Let's never forget what we are up against, though: A stone cold murderer.

Loved having father-daughter time with my dad this weekend. (My mom is on holiday with her sister and mother.) Spent yesterday gardening, napping, reading and eating. I cooked an awesome steak for us last night - two minutes on the pan, with fresh peas and creamy mashed potatoes. My dad surprised me with breakfast in bed this morning: rashers, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, pancakes with Canadian maple syrup and two cups of tea! Now it's time to get ready to head back to town, reality and work tomorrow.
I have lots to look forward to: work (which I actually like), my cousins wedding in two weeks (nice night in a castle!) and my best friends wedding in May.
My therapist often tells me "as long as you stay away from alcohol there is no reason why you shouldn't have a good and normal life".

Trach had a tournament this weekend so he must have headed out early. So, in his absence I will put up the Sunday morning relaxing tunes - hope not too late...
Open in another window and listen for an hour 1/2 is the usual drill, enjoy your Sunday everyone. Hope everyone ahead of us on the world clock had a great weekend.

Good morning everyone! Saoutchik, sounds like an interesting run. I had to Google St. Sepulchre's graveyard.
Phoenix, good to see you.
Non, glad your kindle was located.
We are going to church and then running errands for things Mr. Ruby deems absolutely necessary for his work trip. He's a truck driver and is being sent on the road. So it will be single mom ruby for much of the week.
I have to go.

Checking in this morning. Have yet more stuff to work on. If I can get through March, I will be set.
Weasel-I am very sorry to hear about your friend. I hope you're able to get some more coffees with Tommy.
Non-you need to start cheering for U of A for basketball.
I wanted to repost this (I can't remember who originally posted it) since it was funny and seems appropriate for this weekend given the theme.

Well, I remained sober last night. My girlfriend is having a very rough time of it--she found out her sister is in the hospital dying of cancer. I can't be there with them so that makes me especially frustrated.
although the week tends to be more difficult for me because of work.

Checking in. We are doing a one-night camping thing with friends and their close neighbors. My friends' daughter is best friends with mine and wanted to spend her birthday camping.
I was worried about being around people drinking, but then I realized that our friends' neighbors were doing all the cooking and they don't drink at all. The husband has been abstinent for fifteen years and his wife doesn't drink to support him. Our friends didn't drink. The neighbor says he doesn't drink because every time he does, "he breaks out in a terrible case of handcuffs."
I never knew how much easier it is to stay sober when you are with other sober people. Gawd!
My husband drank a glass of wine when we got back to our cabin and then the whole internal conflict of man v. beast set in.

Good one Conquest The Gap Band lll is one of my all time fave albums
Sorry to hear about your girlfriends sister JD
Well done Alaina
Thanks Ruby - St Sep's reasonably quiet at this time of the year. No one famous is buried there but it's where London's execution bell is
I'm back home now relaxing with a cup of green tea.
With a bit of luck all that trampling about on marshes will have burned of some of the calories I've consumed this weekend.
BigS you're quite right about British pizza, I rarely eat it and I eat anything.
