Hello sober team!

Slow and steady these next few days. Think small. Moment to moment if needed. No grand big plan need be overwhelming you. The holidays are just like any other day ending in a "Y". Don't end them with the other "why"... ok?

In recovery place- so lock down for me (metaphorically). Pepople are escalating- sex, alcohol, gambling, drugs- hoarding food, facebook. Then there are normal crazies- shouting in que's 'cos they were first blah. Also 100+ next few days. One lady thinks some one stole her small bit of cheese to play mind games with her.
Posting here a lot, not watching Disney xmas family stuff (!) , lots of water, coffee, coffee and coffee.

Good morn'n all. Last work day then office is closed until the new year. Make it thru the weekend and I can relax. Right now I'm feeling pretty zen about things and expect a smooth ride.

Waiting for the boss to host drinks in his office (not for me obviously) then we can all go home

Petals - I am not sure which emergency number you mean? Hopefully you won't need it

Upwards - the OA is a mystery drama with sci fi & supernatural elements. I have not seen it but it has good reviews

Hi everyone,

Just popping in...
I will spend Christmas (a week) on a vacation trip with my husband, from winter at home to a warm place with beaches, diving and some sightseeing. Already there but need to complete a work-related visit today before the real fun starts...

Peaceful Sober Holidays to All

We got let out of work early today, so nice early start to the few days off I have

Unfortunately, I'm stuck in my flat waiting for an electrician. Broken electric heaters!

Good morning all!

Everyone in the Weekender's seems to be doing well, and the Forum seems calm this morning.

It's snowing here! It's 9 AM now, and we have a "Winter Weather Advisory" that doesn't start until noon. I love it! I was going to go to the dump today, and have a new lawn mower I need to assemble, but I can put those chores on hold now.

Stay vigilant everyone! A great way to do that is to come here to read and post.

Petals, Is everything all right?

Just found out the way to get my husband to get in a better mood is not to yell at him to "get in a better mood." just saying.

I have a little plug in electric heater, that is suprisingly good. Trouble is, it uses A LOT of power!

Hello Weekenders,

I am looking forward to getting released from the hospital today. I had partial knee replacement surgery on Wednesday, and the PT cleared me to go home, may take another few hours, so I am relaxing in my room, with my book, and SR.

A friend shared this link with me this morning. It was written by Rachel Black, who is also the author of Sober is the New Black. It is a good read as we head into a Christmas weekend, and has also inspired me to write a letter to commemorate my one year soberversary on January 1st.

Have a great day everyone!
❤️Delilah

Gave the customary end of work pub crawl a miss this year and took the family to an indoor trampoline park instead. I would have been hammered by now, not sorry to miss that one bit, or the Xmas eve raging hangover.
