Getting really excited to move to California on Saturday. getting there, living there, just being there is all I can think about.

I told ck that one thought keeps running through my head - this is NOT a visit.

Marty I'm really glad Chauncey is hanging on.

I don't know what the girls are doing but they're not here yet.

I'm in for another sober weekender thread!

Thanks Mags!

Welcome to Weekenders SouthCoaster!

Good luck least! California, how exciting.

These days my main sober tool is SR. Now that I have passed 7 years sober I obviously never crave a drink but like Marty mentioned I sometimes see others drinking and I get a little wistful but I think for me the real danger lies in forgetting what it was like before and immediately after quitting. Reading SR always reminds me of it though.

California! My favorite state. You are sooo lucky! The plan for Mrs Tiles and I is to move to Arizona so we can make hit and run weekend visits to SoCal, my favorite place on earth.

I’d love to live in California, went there 17 years ago and loved it!!

Last treatment day of the week and flagging a little, tired and aching and randomly bursting into tears but I am just exhausted and need to rest. Will be waiting at hospital all day for my 2 treatments and will be able to relax when I finally get home in 10 hours x

Hugs to everyone xx

End of Day 180 - Relaxing day at the beach followed by a dinner at a fancy thai restaurant on Waikiki beach. Not a drop of alcohol but had so much fun. Good night from Honolulu!

Good morning Weekenders!

Manta, I hope you have a restful weekend

calmself, well done on day 180. Your holiday sounds excellent. Hawaii is somewhere I would love to go but know it's somewhere I never will get to.

Word of the day: Paraskevidekatriaphobia. Also known as fear of Friday the 13th! I'm not superstitious but today I shall avoid walking under ladders...

Hi Weekenders,
MantaLady, I hope you can rest and regroup this weekend.
Mags, oh no, I'm sorry. I hope you recover soon.
That's quite a word, Robbie!

Good luck on your trip least
Wistful - good word.

Here's an idea.
If you can't shutup that AV or need to reset,
No matter where you are,
just stop, do a silly dance and sing out loud.
