In the wake of the Manchester bombing I have just heard that Justin Bieber will be performing at a concert there.

Is there no end to these peoples suffering?

I can see how that could be construed as very insensitive, just saying... Many of Ariana's fans are of the same age group and are probably Justin Bieber fans, I'm guessing that's why.

Anyway...

I just need to remember how good I feel today. Without alcohol and without a hangover, I feel good and everything is in its right perspective. I am doing well in school and enjoying it. I am interacting easily with other people. It's such a huge contrast from the way I feel and behave when drinking, recovering or planning to drink again.

I just want to get back to where I was last October/November when I felt like I was on my way to being the best version of me I could be... And I only have to do one simple thing to be that person.

Bedtime for me, I have been really lazy the last few weeks, I must make a list out of things to do before it is too late.

Good to hear Brenda, I think that's what a lot of need to do; focus on the good things that sobriety brings us.

Good night gang.

Morning everyone, ugh! I had a drinking dream last night in which I was "celebrating" some imaginary business deal. I even had slight hangover like symptoms this morning. It is most disconcerting even though I know it was just a dream.

I appreciate the humour Sao, although not as completely and utterly hilarious as my witty and subtle reflections about the similarities between you - 'Sao' and the biscuit..'Sao'. Oh that was a good time- how we laughed.

(lapses into mindless humming of words that go with music..'oh you can't beat Sao for a snack').
Of course- good for JB on being involved in such an event.

Sorry about your dream Saou... I hate them too.
I've got a couple of days off work but have soo much to cram in that I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Must try and keep calm.
Hugs.xx

Feels good to realize that you weren't really drinking eh?
Morning gang.

saoutchik

Thank you guys, it is appreciated.

Morning, everyone! Headed to a cabin in the woods for a couple days with the kids. Really looking forward to it!

Hi, weekenders.

I was at my first boxing workout yesterday after almost a month break - bronchitis/business trip/turmoil at work. My, I could hardly manage 3 push ups! And I used to easily to 20....Sigh....

Those drinking dreams surely make the heart race, Sao. It's always a relief to wake up and leave a nightmare where it belongs.

Have a good day, everyone)

petals

Well done for going back to training.
I'm still comfort eating.
Night guys xx

It is almost June here! Goodnight all.

I appreciated the humor Sao.

Yes, you are correct, if our month end procedures are disrupted it would not be pretty

I hab a bad code.

If one side of my nose would stay clear it wouldn't be half bad. Both sides are determined to be stuffed up. Food tastes like cardboard and forget about a peaceful nights sleep.

But, you know what? I've suffered one cold since I quit and it takes less than half the time for it to be over.

I'll use that nasal spray junk to help me sleep when I'm desperate. Otherwise I avoid it 'cause my nose will end up bleeding if I use too much.

It's been kind of quiet in here..

Reading my last post, when I said recovering I meant that next day waiting for the hangover to wear off. Not recovering as in, well, recovering.

I really wanted to go to a meeting tonight, but once I got home from clinical, and helped mom with a few things, I was dead to the world. I've never been so tired in my life. I slept last night, not a lot but I slept. Maybe five hours. I was so incredibly tired.

So I skipped the meeting but it's not as though I had the energy to MOVE even if I did want to drink. Watching Stanley Cup now..

I really am looking forward to another meeting and looking forward to making recovery a part of my life again.

My pediatric rotation is over and I have one more test on peds Monday and then it's on to maternity! My goal is to remember to eat breakfast so I do not pass out while observing a c-section.

STDragon

Ooo, maternity, how much fun is that going to be? By the sounds of it, you'll be dealing the birthing mothers and not so much the newborns?

Gilmer

C-sections are very interesting! I've had five!

I couldn't see anything, though--the action was blocked by a blue screen.

Important for the moms to follow the doctor's orders to get up and around right away.
