So sorry to hear this, ((Suze)).

I don't like Fridays either - they have a couple of hours which give me a sense of profound misery. I am feeling like the Universe has forgotten me...

Why should you delete this?

If there is a place to share the most vulnerable emotions, it's here.

I’m sorry, Suze.

I hope the mess won’t be too hard to clean up, MantaLady.

Goodnight weekenders.
Loads of love to you guys.

I found out tonight that my older brother fell off the wagon. He had been sober since last November after going to detox.

Apparently he has been missing for a week. It's nothing new for him. He has lost everything through alcohol. He will come home when the money is gone and folded in two. It's a pity as he was doing well.

Sorry for the downer.

V.

Meh, not quite, but one day maybe. I've got the back room cleaned out and all our musical instruments are now moved in. I finally have a music room! I've started working on building a recording / editing system from an old computer. I never was much of a musician, but it's becoming my hobby / obsession.

How is everyone doing with sobriety plans for the weekend?
Doing well, thank you. I did have a craving wash over me this evening, I just had to stop what I was doing, try to clear my mind and let it pass. I don't those too often these days, so I was a bit suprized by it.

Like this?



Yea, like the second one....

Thank you for the thread and post Gilmer. I need to put that book on my list.

I'm sorry Fridays are hard because of that reason suze. I hope you can find some peace. Thank you for reminding me I have much to be grateful for.

I hope your brother shows up soon vman. My BIL does the same thing on meth. And since I refused to let him stay with us as it was endangering my sobriety, I feel partly to blame even though I know it was the best decision.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. I work tomorrow at the beach house and am off Sunday. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. Probably take it easy. I miss my mom and wish I could spend it with her.

Have a great sober evening all!

Morning, weekenders.

Hey MB..
A 3 week business trip sounds pretty intense. When do you leave ?

Goodbyeevan that sounds like a tough situation with your brother too. My 45 year old bro lives at home with my mam and that is a big error.

Anyway croissants and coffee time.

Morning Weekenders. For all of those people who struggle on Fridays, Saturday mornings without a hangover are the payoff.

Coffe here too.

Vinny, I am leaving on May 21, early morning.

And I have to get a new set of clothes because it's a resort seaside town, and I have zero clothes (Not "woman's zero", but real zero) that fit for the climate.

On the upside, maybe change of scenery will do good for me. And I love the sea.

Enjoy the coffee)
