Is Sobriety Boring - Weekenders 22 - 25 July 2022
Thanks Mags for the OP. I am in for another sober weekend! However many there are in 582 days, I guess it's around 83 weekends!
Baby-sitting for my granddaughter right now. She just put Barbie shoes on Luke Skywalker. She's a big Star Wars fan at 6 years old.

Welcome ChopSticksCheese!
Wishing you an itchy-free Friday least.
Congratulations on 582 CBS
Friday! Hometime and I will be sober again. It's a miracle. Talking of which here's a feelgood song from the much under appreciated Jackson Sisters.

Hey, it's Friday! I lost track of the days a little while I was sick. I'm putting it in the past tense, even though I am still not 100% well yet. I feel a LOT better today, I did manage to get my car out for a spin, and I washed it in the driveway afterward. Did a couple of other chores, and then realized I was quite tired.
I was thinking this morning that even though I do wish I had never gotten covid at all, this experience was like ripping off a bandaid. Somewhat painful, but it's over with now. I believe it's almost inevitable that I would have caught it eventually. The newest variant is SO much more transmissible. I simply can't totally isolate myself for however many months or years this thing is going to be around and mutating. At least for now, I do have some decent immunity. Until the next variant comes barreling along. I consider myself very fortunate that my case was mild.

Happy Weekend to all
Happy weekend to all! Had a bit of a tough week, having developed IBS for the first time in my life. Wow, it's not comfortable. I wondered why I wouldn't have had that before I stopped drinking, and got a bit discouraged that I would develop it now when I am living such a healthier life. The doctor said that often there is no clear cause, but that making a big life change, including a big diet change, can throw your body balance off for a while, even if the change you are making is for the best. The important thing is, keep making the important change! And now it's Friday and I'm feeling better, so hopefully that stays on for the weekend.
So the question for the weekend is, is sobriety boring? Well what's more boring than drinking at home? That's what I used to do, to avoid drinking and driving and such. Knowing as I did that I couldn't stop at one or two. These days, I find I get out a lot more and do more interesting things again. I do get restless in early sobriety, but that's not the same thing as bored and I learned it is temporary.
I am so inspired by this group and what people are doing without alcohol! Advanced degrees, 83 weekends sober, amazing culinary, taking care of the cutest pets ever and hundreds of other things. I feel fortunate to be around with you all on the weekends. Have a good one all.

And I am very glad that you are feeling better. xxx
I have the worst food poisoning I have ever had....I even tested myself for covid as this is just horrendous. Not covid tho.
It's ok, , You have a good excuse! Poor thing. I sure hope you feel better soon Sounds awful for you! Our air got fixed, sort of. The fan runs non stop though and I've heard that can be pricey. I hope not. It still feels hot here though.
Take good care, darling one.

I'm about to hit 3 years, and NOTHING is more exciting to me than getting a good night sleep on a Friday night and waking up Saturday morning feeling rested and alive! I don't think I'll ever take that feeling for granted, and their is nothing boring about that! 💙👍
I spoke to soon. My neighbours are having party today, not that they have bothered to tell me. New garden furniture, great big boxes of meat and drink, balloons and tacky plastic flowers. I know the signs
I hope they are careful with the bbq. I don't want my house burn't down .
