I’m glad he’s got the cojones to do it, Suze!
I’m very, very sorry to hear about your friend, HAF. I’m glad you are being helped and enriched by the ACoA meetings.
You’ll feel good being back in the routine with your conditioning, MB.

Welcome Willow. 
Proud of you Vman. All you guys who hid alcohol are mysterious unicorns to me. I always knew exactly where it was, ugh. I started buying the big bottles. To save money, yo. Then I just drank more faster. So dumb.
Glad you're not gonna die, Sao.
So sorry for your loss, happyandfree.
Gilmer, you're a pot-stirrer today. I like pink/lavender shirts on men. Even straight guys. Well, I guess especially straight guys, 'cause what's the point in gazing at the not straight ones?
MB, you helped me yesterday. In the name of letting go of one more thing an Ex ruined for me - or rather, that I allowed to be ruined - I took back turtles yesterday. It's a long story, but turtles are back IN.
So am I. Sober for the Weekend.

Bim - The more turtles, the better!
It's time to get my behind off into gear and get ready for the gym.
I have a rendez-vous with my kick-arse boxing/kickboxing trainer.

ooh. The wife hid the wine from Vman.
Well, I keep reading on this site how people hid alcohol. Those people are mysterious unicorns.
Wives trying to save their husbands would be Saints. Frustrated Saints, but still Saints.

Yesterday evening in a press in our house hidden inside in a sleeping bag I found two bottles of white wine and 3 coronas from my last relapse in february. Typical enough situation my wife had come home to find me conked and hid the booze.
It drove me mental for a while looking at it, at first I said nothing, thinking about it and then I asked my wife to take it and this morning she brought them to work for a barbecue that they are having today. I think I am on the road to recovery this time round. Its still early days and I have to be on my guard.
I dont really know why I'm telling you this. It was like a test.
Boy im glad to be sober and committed to staying that way.

I am just back from the utilities company and somehow I made a mistake, and underpaid for electricity, and they collected it and gave the overall bill.
I am just p***d off at them and myself. And above all because again I let some $50 mistake make me feel like I am inadequate and worthless, and can't even calculate my electricity bill properly.

I hope that it makes you feel to share a huge mistakethat I made noT once but TWICE - that is failing to use the word ‘Thousand’ when writing out a check in payment of my Visa bill. I couldn’t imagine why my card was declined at the grocery store as I had paid my bill on time, etc. Turns out that I had paid something like $2.79 and $5.46 instead of $2,079 and and $5,046. Talk about embarrassing!

I honor the fact that she was in my life and will cherish my memories of her. Life can be hard at times.
On a brighter note, i stated going to Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings and I think it will be beneficial. Peeling off the layers of the onion is a lifelong process and I welcome any help I can get.
Ok....bring on the weekend! I love sober weekends!

Hi
Just thought I'd post here for some support! Weekends are my hardest...used to drinking them away into such a bad hangover Monday just to be drunk again with a week full of anger from my husband....shame...guilt...depression...fear..etc etc etc. My babies can't see me drunk not one more time...not can my husband he's so done with it. Here's to a sober weekend hopefully for the rest of my life! Wishing everyone the same!!!
