Anyone who just read my thread knows I need to be in this weekender for sure!!
My plan is to stay as busy as possible. When I'm not on SR I will be working, cleaning, and getting the pool ready as it is already 80 degrees in N.C. Have so much to do. If I just don't sit around and wallow in my self-pity, poor lil' me attitude then I may have a good chance to make it through this week-end sober!! IF I can make it through this week-end then I'm definitely really on my way to long term sobriety. I've done it before and I can do it again. It's just getting back on that wagon is hard as hell. However, I do have 33 days down. I'm determined. Also, thinking of throwing an Ice Cream Social pool party this summer. Something to work towards.

I'm in 
Lots of first lately and a sober Easter is one of them.
Going to church early (still Agnostic, but love this church & their messages), AA meeting at 11am, then to a state park to canoe, picnic and hike. Really looking forward to it
Happy Sober Easter everyone Great Thread

I'm back. And I am SO in and needing to stay close to SR right now. Day 2 for me.
Sunshine72, it's so nice to have you on the Weekender thread. I haven't had a chance to respond to some of your posts but I just wanted to say how much I admire how thoughtful you are about your sobriety and how it is affecting your life.
It may not seem like it from where you are, but from out here, what I see is a person with a whole truckload of emotional strength and resilience, and someone who is really taking on and working through difficult emotions rather than repressing them, or trying to solve them with alcohol. That takes a lot of courage.

I'm up for committing to another sober weekend
mammoth fault finding job on an ethernet network monday from 8am till tues 6 am .. not really recovered yet , was with it again till 7 pm yesterday .. all quiet on Thursday so was able to monitor for a few hours then return to my regular not thinking state .
Vegetarianism (pesco lacto eggo ok ) is going well, no cravings or anything this time , just dropped and moved on .. i think I'm a couple of weeks into it now ..
read somewhere it can be a sign of kidney disease , if i start to read it on the internet i start wondering if i've got it .. I need to go to the Dr next week so i think asking for a full check up isn't unreasonable being over 40 ..
might be off traveling out and about for the next 24 hours on a sight seeing tour .
Stay sober y'all ,

G- my, my- weren't WE in a mood, then? Such avarice, such venom at dark chocolate. Did dark chocolate do something to cause such anger and resentment? Perhaps you need to look carefully at this 'dark chocolate' resentment.
Then you will need to go to a supermarket- and APOLOGISE to every dark chocolate product you see.
The fact you are right- my d/choc (although nice) was as thick as an ATM card.
BUT, I think it is cruel and unusual of you to burst my bubble of elegant living and dark chocolate paradise.
Actually only bought it 'cos it's Easter. Cost 2 dollarinoes.

Reading this Easter post made me remember being drunk the night before Easter in 2014 and then the whole day Easter. I still went outside and did the whole egg thing with my 3 kids but I was out of it...and then passed out for most part of the day. I believe I ended up in detox 1 or 2 days later. Not this Easter I will be sober and thankful. Everyone have a great weekend.
