Ha-ha, Lizajane, it is so me, and I am a female!
But I sacrificed France vs Peru for my boxing workout today.
To be honest I can watch replay later)
My new trainer busted be all over today to make me feel what real boxing is.
It feels....tough.
Now I can fully enjoy my Argentina vs Croatia

The AV hasn’t gone away but it’s definitely getting easier to ignore because I know it will go away. Waking up sober each morning is the absolute best reward for ignoring the AV 😊

Welcome bonnefond!
Hello calmself, sounds like you are doing better.
Hi Vman, cool you and Bonne are from France. Raining here AGAIN in northern Illinois. Like we need more. Not...
Good to see you willow, you are racking up those days and getting more sober muscle everyday! Woot!!
Venuscat, SoberLeigh, Gilmer, Dee, STD, you people are the best with insight and support to everyone. I lurk a lot, don’t always say much.
Great to read your posts purps, petals , andyh and lizajane!
Snuf—sleep can be so disruptive. I have PTSD and suffer severe insomnia. The suggestion to meditate is good, although I don’t practice it myself I might try it too. For me I try to get out and exercise . What do you do for a living that people called and you have to work all weekend?
Love to all and forgive if I left your WE name off🧚🏻*♂️
Best,
Free

Argentina look vulnerable in defence
This is my first fully sober World Cup since 1978.
In 1986 I had tickets to a music festival in a place called Milton Keynes. The Ramones and the Simple Minds were among the line up but I blanked it to watch the infamous England Argentina game. We lost.

Hi Free2bme!
We had another notorious one in 1966 but even I am not old enough to remember that one.
It will be difficult for Argentina to progess from their group now.

I have never been near the world cup but I remember them all the way back to high school . Growing up in Toronto, World Cup was a time when every car seemed to have a flag flying from countries of origin. My family always cheering for Germany. Attending a Roman Catholic school full of Italians made for some fun rivalry and trash talk.
Argentina! What happened???? Something is going on with that team. Happy for my friend Silvia, who happens to be vacationing in Croatia (her homeland) right now. She has got to be in the biggest celebration with her family right now. She was source of that video I posted. Got my workout in early...down time watching the games now Housework
BORING but must be done. This place is looking a little shabby. Rather be dancing in Croatia!
