Last time I called someone out for a gotcha thread like this they left and didn't come back so I don't do that anymore - I'd rather live with gotcha threads than folks leaving

I'm glad you're doing well and are in high spirits less

Here's my unsolicited comment: I've succeeded because I've taken my sobriety with utmost seriousness. I've approached it like a mission. I don't think I've even remotely joked about booze or drinking in my posts because I don't want the possibility of drinking to gain even a tiny foothold in my brain.

I had a feeling it was gonna be something like that. Made me giggle. Glad you survived the evening LG. 😀

Isn't it possible to take your sobriety seriously and still enjoy some dark or sarcastic humor? I'm not trying to be argumentative...I'm really asking. I don't know...I find this kind of humor really comforting. It helps me not take myself so seriously...and I need that desperately.

Linda - thanks for the defense but I also understand where certain people would be alarmed and then turned off by the post.

I really didn't think that through. Was just trying to add some lightness to this very dark topic. In all truth I was feeling like I wanted to drink with the crew that night, and so I told myself this exact joke to get my head right.

Of course I never meant to upset anyone.

I do understand what you're saying, lessgravity...

And I certainly did not mean to offend. Just saying that for me personally, humor is really helpful.

Sorry to anyone if I was offensive.

made me LOL (like seriously . . . spit my coffee out).

To each their own.

I can joke about mine, but I back it up with effort.

I can’t stand the gotcha threads here. Yes - to each their own, but I worry about the newcomers coming in here scared and shaking. It may be be a better joke in an established monthly thread or another group with longer sobriety. Just my thought! Great job on making it through!

Knowing lessgravity I know no harm was meant.

As we seem to be getting all meta about the thread, I think we're done now.

Lets move on
