3:00am Friday morning in the US. Really wish I could sleep until at least 4. Five hours of sleep isn't getting it done. Dog-sitting this weekend for my daughter, who is going on a short weekend trip. Will be nice to have the furry company.
Sending love and support to all of you. Keep going. Try to learn from your setbacks. But keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Have started to follow a lot of sober people and have found that if I surround myself with people on the same journey as me is so meaningful! The stories, pictures and quotes... If I start every day with a good dose of those, it makes my day so much better! I am SO HAPPY that I have made the decision never to drink again!

Freedom, I am so proud of you! I remember some of your older posts where you were debating whether or not to buy beer or running shoes. Look at you now. You should be proud of yourself for all the progress you’re making. Now, if I can only make it past day 2, I’d feel proud too.
Still working on this folks. I’ll be committed to posting as soon as I get my act together.

My cousin Andy was in the navy Nic, and then joined the police force. Now he is a senior detective constable something or other.
It is amazing that he could....he is only my height, 5 ft 4.....that was a huge game changer for Australians when the height rule went down.
One of my best friends and ex-boss is also a big wig in the Vic police....it is a pretty fantastic career in Aus I think.
And welcome to the group.
And hello everyone....with you all the way! s ❤️

Sorry. Nothing positive today. World fell apart yesterday when I overheard a conversation between Mrs. and my son where she was doing her best to turn him against me - and probably has. At one point he said "Why don't you throw his ***** out". Her treachery is unbelievable - but for the last time. I am so very done. She said after 40+ years she's had enough. Guess what? After 40+ years the only thing keeping me with you was the fear of a bad reaction from my son. You cut that string. Nothing left to keep me in misery.
I really need to get Ruthless Ruthie. I could sure use some cuddles from a warm soft furball.

(((Charon))) ❤️
I am so sorry.....that is a horrible thing to overhear.
I hope your son was just reacting to whatever was said to him, and given time he will realise there are two sides to all of this. There always is.
I hope you can feel the cyber hugs we are sending. s
And I hope it isn't long till sweet puppy gets to come home with you. s

I'm off to work in a few hours as well. Day four and woke up feeling pretty good.
Charon - huge hugs
That's a terrible thing to have happen. Glad you're here and talking about it
James - enjoy the fur-baby. They are the absolute best!

Good morning, sobhoes!
It's day four. Binged on cookies. Not good. But diet starts now. Going to head for a walk at 6am.
[QUOTE=DariaM;7494633]Good job! Maybe I should get my butt out there before work and get a run/walk/slow shuffle in.[/QUOTE]
You totally should. Exercise is great for the mind and body.
