Dear daughter relly enjoyed the group and want's go back. Yay! it was a bit eye opening for her to meet real people with similar diagnoses. I'm so happy that she sees value in it.

Oh and when got an appointment with a psychologist on Monday.

Great news about your daughter Dragon, it must help to know you are not the only person having to deal with something like that..

Congratulations MantaLady, a great achievement.

I am going to take a peek at the Cairngorm mountains today.

That is really great that your daughter connected to the support group, Dragon. Good luck with the therapist appointment too.

Manta - Huge congrats on 6 months!

Sao - I am soliciting for some terrific pictures)

New to the site but not recovery. Found this searching for the origins of NA key tags and wa-la...here I am. Awesome site & love the weekender thread. Was some of my tougher times early on years ago, crazy, hectic work week...then...off to the chatroom's to keep me out of my own head...scary place to be and never went alone.
Looking forward to getting to know some of you...

Rick

Love your avatar, richarddelano! Looks like it could be the cover of one of those old-time pulp scifi novels.

Welcome to the weekender Rick.

YAY go Manta :You_Rock

MB I'm feeling way better.
I'm on some meds for now.
I gave myself a bit of a scare with this relapse. In terms of frequency and quantity.... Looking forward to a AA meeting tonight. The hospitalisation next week has me a little perplexed but I think it's a step in the right direction.

I have been thinking alot about the film into the wild recently. Emile Hirsch was incredible but it's just that I think that's nearly what I want to do now. Hit the road and work small jobs with Mrs and Mini Vman... Nice thought at least.

A happy day to you all...

Zoey I think "Doing a drive-by" is like knocking off someone on your way to work. You don't do that right do ya...?

What great positive posts. STDragon, really happy about your daughter. Manta, huge congrats! Keep it going.

Vman, one day at a time (?) I'm glad you're letting people help.

Welcome Rick and Robbie. Stick around. We have coffee.

Is it Spring yet? What's that you say? Three more months? Well, okay then. Head down, boots on. Forward we go.

Welcome to the Weekenders, Richarddelano.

Well done, MantaLady. Congratulations on six months!

Dragon, great to hear that your daughter finds value in the support group.

A Happy Tuesday and love to all.

Anyone for cake with their coffee?

Welcome to Weekenders Richard!

VMan that's great that you are feeling better. This addiction we have is so much easier to deal with when we are in the right frame of mind.

I made it to the summit of Cairngorm, OK it's not Mount Everest but it is surprisingly rugged up there.
