Hi PhoenixJ good to see you. I hope you have better luck sleeping tonight. You're quite right in saying the world would be a better place if people gossiped in a positive way. Sadly that is unlikely to happen any time soon so until then not being the subject of any negative gossip is a legitimate goal - at least in regards to drinking. I am sure I give people enough to gossip about without the help of booze

Good late-Sunday-morning to all. I've still got a lot of work to do today. I realize that I am really quite anxious about my work...think the outcomes will be disappointing to the people who need it on Monday. Makes me want nothing more than to escape. Yeah I know it will be only worse tomorrow if I avoid it today. I won't avoid or escape today. One foot in front of the other.
Kind of rainy here, off and on.

Finally hit the gym today after months of avoiding it Y'all inspired me with your posts about running to get back at it....it's time. Its amazing how good I feel afterwards, though tomorrow may be a different story. Hopefully not, I took it easy.....some yoga and a couple miles on the treadmill. It's good to know I still remember how....thank goodness for muscle memory Now to get my head out of the way and keep up with it....

Wow, Simplicity! We are cut from the same cloth.
Throughout a lot of my recovery, I've walked the walk and talked the talk. Exercising as I recommended it to others.
In the last year, which will not go down in history as my favorite year, I dropped the ball. Hadn't done a decent workout in months. I picked it up again last week and have started rather gently. Today, I worked up to a more vigorous workout and it sure felt great. Great!
Now, I have to keep myself accountable in my return to exercise.
And now to pick up my house.
Hope this weekend goes well for all, whether you're new to sobriety or have some serious sober time under your belt.

Once again, SR inspires. I have never really run before but as part of my attempt to "balance" my life better idea to do more than usual dog walk. Just got back from 3rd day RUN/WALK, read your recent posts about exercising, thanks!

Just registering that I continue to struggle badly today. I'll get by...I know you guys do it and that gives me gumption. In past posting ...before my "comeback" this month...I would say I was struggling soooo bad, but with a drink in my hand. Umm. That isn't struggling, sorry to tell my-past-self.
This is different. And I am struggling. And I will get through. Thanks in part to SR.
Edit: the above behavior was when I was getting close to my unannounced dropout. And I would say I was struggling with work, or a problem...not with cravings....because well duh, why else would I be holding a drink?

Hang in there Bees! For times like this I found that something as simple as a computer game would require me to concentrate on it for half an hour or so - long enough to get through it
Good work Simplicity

I'm talking off and on with my partner about making the booze here at home inaccessible...either get rid of it or lock it away. My partner is fine...needs no deprivation or control. But we just haven't gotten it done. I also know that once I make up my mind, I'd drive any distance to get what I want, anyway, and pay any price for it.
I appreciate any company, but please don't worry. I am getting through this one, by gosh, with a little "whine"!!
