Your never too old according to my dad who bought his bike at the age of 76. If it falls over he can't pick it up but he doesn't let that stop him.
Checking late this morning, I tried staying up late last night and sleeping in this morning in an attempt to adjust to a different time zone. Early Monday morning I'm off to Honolulu with my wife and two kids. The forecast calls for an even 29c all week long. This is the first out of country vacation for us since our honeymoon 20 years ago.

How exciting STD! Oh, what I wouldn't give for a second honeymoon in Hawaii. I don't have to
get married for that, do I? Hawaii. . .the smell. The sunsets. Are you going to Oahu?
Sao, 7000 is a lot. We can get chatty here.
Coffee. Steak and omelet, when I'm properly awake. Spinach, mushroom, tomato and cheese omelet and a side of home fries/baked chunks o' tater. Liberal amounts of chipotle Cholula. I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I hadn't taken the steak out of the freezer. By the time I put the marinade on it I was awake. 1:30AM . What? Went back to bed a couple hours later. Here it is 8AM.
I guess that means I have reset my body for STD's Hawaii trip too. :-|
I hope everyone is making it through the weekend. Bixy, thinking of you. Hi, MB!! Gym membership, excellent!

Hi friends!! Sunday late morning. I'm still here and I'm still sober. I think I am coming up on 30 days give or take. My day 1 was 2/25 and can't calculate February weirdness in my frazzled head.
Completely crazy and exhausting here still...something changes every day. I've taken a leave from work, which is pretty terrible timing. But I am staying put until family situation is resolved.
During this crisis, sober has been quite easy to maintain. I do wonder how post-crisis will affect me, but I'll be talking here when it happens.

Hi everyone. I haven't been on the weekend thread in a while and I thought that I needed to change that. 
Just made breakfast (blueberry pancakes and bacon) and in a little while my son and I are going outside to plant some flowers for the bees. We have the perfect spot at the edge of the yard for them. I'll be 20 weeks sober tomorrow and very grateful. Have a great day everyone.

Congratulations on 20 weeks Angie. So I went back home on Friday and I have two doctors appointments this week one an specialist and the other a general doctor. The good thing is this is the first weekend in a long time I haven't sting so I have 6 days today.
Still have cravings and I wanted to drink almost every day but I'm in pain and on medication so that deters me. I am also worry about going to work Monday after what happened Friday. Ugh 😑 this will never end, I don't feel good and now I can't even get relieve with wine. I'm still smoking I just to anxious. I hope everyone is okay,.

Congratulations on 6 days Soberandhealthy, that is awesome. Cravings are a fact of life in early recovery, if you find something which occupies your mind you will spend less time craving. I would not worry about the smoking right now, just make sure you stay off the booze. You can quit tobacco once you have a chunk of sober time behind you. My understanding was that you became ill at work but that you were not drunk or anything so it should be OK Sah. Good luck this week and give yourself a break.
Hang in there BixBees.
Hi Angie247, congratulations on 20 weeks!
SoberT that is great news about Hawaii, have a grrrrreat time.
6999 and a half! - I must have miscounted earlier.

You sound great, SAH. It is good to hear from you. When you feel cravings, just run on here and post. There will be people to talk you down.
Congratulations on your Hawaiian vacation, Dragon. I've never been, either. Hope it's fantastic!

Ta Da!
Here we all are then
That is 7000 huge Thank You's to all of you at SR and Weekenders in particular for keeping me sober for 817 days. Your advice and encouragement has been invaluable and without a doubt I still need the Newcomers threads for the reminders of what my own life was like when I was still drinking.
There were no deletions bim, just my sloppy counting.
Thank you for Pomp and Circumstance Venny, I am celebrating with a cup of tea.

GOOD ONE SAO
Venecia, bud- I do not want to rain on your parade- but Britian actually does not rule the waves.
Mind- back in the day, the very nasty Roman Emperor, Caligula declared war on the god of the sea- Poseidon . He made an army of professional roman soldiers run into the sea and attack it.
Rather silly really.

Congratulations Sao.
We never met in real life but strangely I consider you a friend. You gave me good advice and I appreciate your posts. Yourself and MesaMan used to nearly make me spit tea at my phone.
I met a friend of mine in town today. She is a nurse, originally from London.
I have great respect for her but ocassionally I still get confused with her accent. The conversation went something like this:
Her: How is your job going? Is it any karma?
Me: Excuse me?
Her: I asked is your job any karma?
Me:??? No it's not karma.
Her: oh I'm sorry to hear that it's not any karma.
Unfortunately it was only after I walked away that I realised she meant "calmer".
My mother laughed a lot when I told her. I told my mom that I'm worried about my dad. He says he doesn't care that family members are spitefully talking about him behind his back. He is doing what he thinks is right in his heart.
I expressed my concerns to my mother. She patted my shoulder in a rare gesture and said "don't worry about me or your father. We will always have each other".
It was rather comforting.
