going on a date Saout ?
you open yourself up for the gamut of emotions doing that , elation to depression , be careful how it effects you as your not sounding your chirpy self this last week , we all want you to be sober and happy
Sun is breaking through here in south london so maybe you'll get it in a bit .
Special shout out to our leader Ken , tough day for you mate , just get through , you are working on building a sober , glorious and happy life ,
just know that there are an awful lot of people here who care for you , brother in the fight , hang tough ,
right emotional stuff touched on , time for coffee and going to see how big my sunflowers have grown overnight ,

Thanks Mecx. I am fine this week.
At 55 hopefully should be able to avoid any kind of torrid emotional stuff. Also she confided something to me last night that she should perhaps have mentioned earlier, she has a husband back in Portugal��
Weather has improved a lot which means I can walk to my next appointment near Liverpool St station

Happy Friday Morning Sobersaurs!
I have the day off, but there's plenty to do. Much of it tax related as I have had several people ask me to review their tax returns to see if they need to amend them. Its actually fun for me. I like tax forms like some people like crosswords or Sudoku. Its a puzzle to solve.
I was wondering this as well. He's been uncharacteristically absent for a few days. Anyone have any details?

LoL one day hopefully i'll be as old as all of you and i'll get to find out if my torrid emotion drops off . Being only 40 though i'm trying to make my life as torrid as possible .
For me i kept well away from it for a year like the people mention round here , infact it was more like 2 years into sobriety before i opened that door , to make sure i was as solid in sobriety as i could be .
It's a minefield for sure , i'm glad you've made it through
looks a bit rainy here now !

Welp... Today is my mothers death day. May 29th at 3pm she stopped breathing. That's when she finally saw everything clearly. She knew what life was like that she created for herself. She saw my sister she lost at a very young age. She saw how things were for me at that time. She saw me just starting to reach new lows with drugs. She saw it all.
I can hear her voice still. I can here it say I am sorry. Every year on this day I hear it and every year I drank and cursed that voice. Until today.
I just cannot go on that way. I have to forgive. 12 years now.
So I woke... I took sleep meds and went to bed early. I woke late. I never sleep in as you all know. But I am moving slow and refuse to feel pressure to do much of anything except be kind to everyone I see today. Be easy on my self today. And try to turn this days tradition of blackout drunkeness into a day of honor. First to honor me. Yes me. Only I can keep me sober. I must come before everything or I have nothing. Then for her.
I said this here so I can not make a big deal of anything and just have a sober Friday with you'all.
So.... Let's get myself together and get out there a bit. Go see Tommy for coffee.. The bad storms last night drove the humidity away and this morning is crisp and still. Birds singing and cats at my feet.
I will be close to this thread all day. I have a lunch date that I can share about a bit later.

Good morning everyone! No early morning band practice for my son so I slept in a little. I'll pay for that by scrambling in a few minutes to get us all up and out. Regular work day. Nothing spectacular other than the continuing miracle that I'm sober and no hangover.
Ken, take care of you. You're a miracle too. Have a splendid day and enjoy Tommy and coffee and knowing you bring great solace and joy to many people.
Skywalker, good luck in orientation.
Saoutchik, ditto what Mec said.
Endgame, yes and no on good humor.
I will see you all later.
