Morning everyone,
I like to post early at the weekend because for so many years I had no experience of "early mornings" It is a time that I derive the most satisfaction from not drinking.
Tetra I agree with what others have said on the thread - the woman shows herself up more than she shows you up. There is always one isn't there?
I jogged through a narrow little street in my part of London (Shoreditch) called Blackall Street. Practically the whole length of it is covered in street art.I could post a pic but because the angle of it would be so narrow it wouldn't do it justice.

Good morning!
Hey Mr. B... Mamma B doing well?
Up and ready for the gym. Slept well but woke with work stuff in the head. I am planning a large inter team get together. My idea and my vision to get all the analysts in the organization together to focus on forward thinking topics that can help us all do our jobs better and produce better products. All eyes will be on the results. So I somehow get focus with these early morning clear visions of what I want to see come about.
Ha! Try doing that hungover? NOT!
Off to the gym batman! Zzzzzzzzzzzz

But they are unable to comprehend life outside of their enclosure, and in the end they prefer to stick to the world they KNOW, even though life outside the cage would be a huge improvement. Kind of reminded me of my drinking days behind the doors of my apartment. And how I had no clue how to live my life as a sober adult. I simply could not comprehend a life without alcohol, and had no idea how to go about living outside the cage I'd created for myself.
This weekend, we gather here to celebrate our liberation from those cages. Whether it's mental, spiritual, or physical, we are finding that life outside of alcoholism is an amazing thing. For those still in that cage, or just stepping out...come join us. It's grand out here in SoberLand!

You're killing me BigS, I don't know how you can live like that. It sounds horrible. With that Krispy Kreme temptation and all...
Hi weekenders. Good to see all of the newer faces aboard.
Have a good'n
Look up krispy kreme calendar.

Heyoo - posting to wish everyone a happy Saturday morning!
Also, posting this to bump lunar's post off this front page....holy smokes, that spider is creepy man! My old roommate used to have a tarantula. It looks like Goliath is molting, or something. Hopefully that, and not pregnant. Good grief!
