whoop - Happy Friday!

my weekend starts now, except that I have to fly to the US on Sunday for work next week. :( I'm not sure I've ever flown long-haul sober, not that I'm the slightest bit tempted to drink, I just wonder what you're meant to do if you're not pretty much passed out for half the flight. :confused:

I'm also probably going to have to be 'sociable' a few evenings while I'm there, which isn't really my thing any more. I'm just going to say that drinking aggravates my lycanthropy if anyone asks why I'm not drinking, which isn't a lie.

have a good, safe weekend all. :)

Good to see you Lila I agree although it's not a cast iron guarantee not drinking will definitely improve your chances of lifting any depression. I wish you all the best.

Andy, that's great news about going to NYC for work, it shows they have faith in you. Well done sir!


Agree about alcoholics being nice people when not drinking. I agree too about not attempting to kill spiders in case they tell their larger mates. Here's one I upset earlier...

Thanks for this new thread Mags ♥

Hello Weekenders friends! :grouphug:

Thanks Mags for setting up a new thread, love the graphics and the verbiage.

Off to another weekend we go, enjoy everyone, be sure to do something fun!!

I had to look that up!:lmao

I didn't much look forward to business trips after I quit drinking. (think I've been on four since) . It usually means a group of people, all whom want to go out 'socializing'. Really the worst part was my pre-trip anxiety which turned out to be for nothing.

Morning everybody :wavey:
It's morning so coffee.

Morning,

Seems to be a few weekenders suffering with lycanthropy, nasty. Brilliant answer to an irritating question Andy.

Spiders! I was feeling quite smug that I wasn't having that problem this year. Until yesterday evening when the biggest blackest spider suddenly ran across my front room floor. Yikes. Lucky he was fast as Alfie was trying to catch him. I suspect he will be out again tonight. Freaky..

No sugar or carbs is not easy. My tummy keeps rumbling :lol:

I had a minor altercation with another dog walker yesterday, totally unfounded but an annoyance. Afterwards I wanted to comfort myself with a Belgium bun, same way I would of reached for a drink. Definitely rely on sugar in a unhealthy way so moderation is not an option. :sad:

Not sure how long my resolve will last. We can but try!

How's life MB..?

Morning from a windy North Lincolnshire:):fall1

We travelled through torrential rain yesterday on the motorway. Fortunately most drivers drove to the road conditions.

Kaily I imagine it’s not easy giving up sugar, I’d like to cut down myself someday. :dunno:

Sao, scary spider, how does a tiny little spider scare the biggest of people, it’s a mystery.

After a busy day yesterday I’m ready for a relaxing day at home, reading or watching a series on tv.

Snoozy, good to see you love. I know you’re going through a lot at the moment, so please remember to take care of yourself first so you can be there for your family and friends. :hug:’s

Another sober Saturday on the cards. Yaaaay

Morning, weekenders.

Hi, Vinny.

Thanks for asking)

Life.. I don't know...Ok, I suppose, but still lacking that zest for life, can't shake my emotions back into aliveness.

I'm In with you all. This is my safe place and each day I'm grateful to have you all. No where else does anyone in my life really get this. Thank you.

Hi Midnight and Awake, good to see you. :wave:

Hiya Weekenders.

Hiya Midnight! missing you!

Hey Trach! whats new?

Off to a book sale this morning, then I start Ukulele classes this afternoon. So excited!

Hi Weekenders!!

I've never suffered from that lycanthropy, but I'm pretty sure my wife has!! (ba-dum-bum). Haha.

Glad to be here with all you awesome people - have a great day :)

Sober Saturday morning never gets old. Not even a little bit.

The world is my oyster. I can go and do whatever I want. So many possiblities!

I had to turn on the heat for the first time this morning. I noticed yesterday that all the trees suddenly switched on their psychedelic coloring. I know where this leads...better get to the zoo today to enjoy the not-too-hot-not-too-cold Goldilocks weather.

Nice to see you MidnightBlue. I miss your posts.

I won't drink today. :)

Hi Everyone;

I’m in and glad to see you all—my SR sober friends.
I pretty much gave up seeing all my IRL friends when I quit drinking as socializing with them was always a booze affair.
I need to build new relationships but that is harder over 50 and with limited free time. I hope to change that in retirement.

Things are going well but I have been Uber busy,
Just a hint of Fall here I’m, but mostly still in the lower 90 degrees range so no heat needed yet.

In fact, just bought a freestanding hammock rack for enjoying the days as they slowly get cooler. I love lounging in a hammock in the Fall especially.

Good to see you MidnightBlue, Trachemys, Hawkeye!

congrats on 8 weeks mariposa!

Nice work, Mariposa - very nice :) Eight weeks is an awesome accomplishment!!

Another bad night, been awake since 2am, its pouring with rain and I have a headache :sad2:

Feeling miserable.

I hope the day gets better Kaily :)

D

Thank you Dee. :)
