Welcome to the thread time2shineagain.
Yay BixBees! Great to see you.
SoberT I hope your wife can overcome her dislike of hampsters.
Like Soberwolf I have also been for a run this morning. I am drinking coffee and listening to the radio.

Hi, how's everyone?! Hope you're all enjoying Saturday! Yay, I got through my first day sober. Managed to have some breakfast today (been long since that happened...) Feelings all over the place today but that's what day 2 is like I guess. Thanks to everyone for your support, I'm amazed at this welcoming and supportive community!
Do your best

((((((BIX)))))) so good to see you! If that's the way you've been feeling this is a good place to be 
Good Morning everyone and Happy Sober Saturday.
Not much different going on in my world. Took some time to catch up in here, you guys crack me up.
Happy to see all the newcomers.
Dealing with a little giraffe withdrawal, they shut off the cam yesterday at 4:30. Yes, I became obsessed. It became my meditation tool.
I made a discovery, my moment when I realized it truly had become an obsession. A few days back I was watching the cam here and there and saw April's tail lift, who has of course already had the baby, and felt a spark of excitement. Egads.

Way to go Verona, congratulations on Day 2
This is a difficult time for you I know Bix but keep posting, it is better than the alternative.
Hi dlb
For those of you who have not been following April's pregnancy here is a photo of her as yet unnamed calf who is equally photogenic.

BixBees! there you are! So happy to see you. Tell us more....
Yay Verona!!! Happy day two to you!
I vote we name the baby giraffe 'May'.
So this morning, I wake up to find the dog shut in the bedroom with me, wife is gone. I find out there was a bit of kerfuffle this morning because my daughter could not find the hamster. Turns out he buried himself under the bedding to sleep. This is a step forward for my wife. Last night she told us if it ever escaped, she'd let dog have it. This morning she was concerned enough to trap the dog away.
One point for the therapy hamster.

Happy Earth Day and good morning!!
Verona...good job, keep it going. I promise it gets easier.
Bix....good to see you!
I'm waking up with a great cup of coffee and need to get an early start. Lots to do today. I never take it for granted how good it feels to be hangover free! Thank goodness!
See you all later-

Good morning all.... I'm BACK! Thanks for the hellos and hugs! I'm having first cuppa coffee stolen from first ounces dripped into the pot...so it is a little strong, just what I need.
I predict the Therapy Hamster will become beloved here! He/she has already won my heart. Oh the cliffhangers and heartwarming stories to come!
Last few nights were different from the ache and angst of my ongoing personal situation. I think I'm feeling "better" some days and less on task...and that is trouble for me. I knew it would turn this way.
I'm glad I knew just where to come for understanding and encouragement. I did experimentally drink a couple of times since the crisis passed. No drama, no sickness, no stupidity ensued. BUT.......The dishonesty I referenced was that, being out of town, I did not discuss with my partner. Bad idea, bad impulse, bad action...all badness. I really don't need more guilt on top of grief. So I'm back here to partake of the sober celebration.
When I think about it, I'll reset my sober date. I guess I should feel terrible about losing that marker of 2/25. But I have been through a lot since then. Other dates get top billing in my book of life.

I want to speak with gratitude and a certain pride in a job done to best of my ability. From 2/25 thru 7 weeks of direct/primary caregiving to my parents -- I never picked up. I'm not so proud of the quality and sturdiness of my sobriety, but I am VERY grateful that I could do it and I did do it.
And I am starting again. I owe the same utmost to myself and my partner and remaining family, and my friends.
Ok...I've sufficiently unloaded. On to a beautiful rainy day of love and hilarity and accomplishment.
