Just worry about yourself for the moment HAS.

I'm sure your Dad would not want you to be sad.

I’m sorry, HAS.

He must have been a wonderful man.

You aren’t ruining anything for anybody. We’ve all been drunk before.

You can put it aside. It is possible and necessary for your wellbeing and happiness.

Vman, I have achieved the Herculean task of finding miscellaneous stashes of pictures all over the house, packing them, and loading them and all the other heavy boxes, bags, and decayed albums of them into my car.

By the time I got to the mountains, I was so wiped out that I fell asleep early.

Saturday morning I woke up groggy and listless, and felt like lying on the couch all day—but after surfing awhile and eating a decent breakfast, I drove down to an outbuilding, unloaded them all, then lugged them all upstairs to a large, unused table.

They’re there! I achieved my goal!

Now who knows when I’ll actually touch them? LOL!

Have to pack some healthy snacks next time I know dinner will be delayed. Lots of fun stuff going on in this thread! I LOVE the sink Bimini Blue! Full day tomorrow...church choir, father's day and yes...more hockey try outs. So should be a snap wrapping up this weekend sober, could not manage it all if I were drinking!
I was eating healthy and exercising as an active drinker. I gave all that up in favour of recovery. It was jst too much for me to keep it all up. It took a long time but I'm finally getting back into eating better and working out. What I'm saying is don't bite off too much, unless these were things you were all ready doing, trying to make too many "good" habit changes all at once can make it all the more difficult.

SR is more than a tool in my sober toolbox.
It's like the cordless drill sitting beside the toolbox. Just got to keep it charged.
(those lithium batteries....)

It's father's day in France.
I got the best presents (below) and we are going to do something special today.

See you all tonight.
ahh, that's nice. I see you kids are still wee little young'uns. Mine are young adults, I hardly see them unless they need something. lol.

You aren't ruining anything for anyone. Heck, most of us ARE ruins. We're here for each other.

Happy Father's Day to the fathers we love in our little thread. Vman, those gifts are so lovely.

Andyh, so happy for you! Onesies!

Lizajane, sober weekends are the BEST. I ate whatever I dang well wanted to in early sobriety - I treated myself like I was recovering from a serious illness - because I was. You're a Rock Star if you're trying to deal with food and new alcohol sobriety. I gave up on that endeavor until I was more stable in sobriety. All the ice cream was to go in my mouth.

Gilmer. Just no. My pictures will stay in the box. When I die, someone else can deal with them.

H&S - you can put down the drink, you've done it before. We're here...talk to us before you drink next time.

Thanks for the image switch, Dee.

My ten hours of sleep might not have been enough...

Well, weekenders....

I've slipped and binged on ice-cream and cakes today.

Yes, it's a slip.

No, I am not being hard on myself.

I let social pressure make me doubt what I believe in and what is good for me even it it goes against the mainstream.

I may leave the weekenders for some time because I am just too angry right now and can get involved in the arguments about questionable benevolence of ice-cream and other sugar-loaded food in early recovery.
