Thanksgiving - Weekenders 25-28 November 2022

Thanksgiving, I understand, is to celebrate the harvest and blessings over the past year.



Though sometimes it seems to me that this year hasn’t brought a lot to be thankful for, I looked again.



And yes, I’m thankful for seeing each morning.



Also thankful that every morning I wake up sober.



More thanks for having a roof over my head and food to eat.



Thankful for being loved, though some are four legged furry friends.



Thankful I have friends around the world.



Thankful to be in recovery and to have found SR.



Though there’s much distress in the world, there is also so much to be thankful for, in my small corner of the universe.

Is there anything you’re thankful for?



Could be a decision you’ve made to stop drinking, or

You’ve stopped drinking, and like me, didn’t know what to do next.



You may be thankful for One whole day sober. I remember my real first day sober. I hung in there with the skin of my teeth.



Wherever you are on your journey, you’re not alone.



So many of us on the same road, helping, guiding, along the way.



Join us if you will, for a path less trodden.



If this is your first weekend sober, or many, come join us for support and chat...as we know the weekends can be a struggle sometimes. (We’re here all week too!) :)

Thank you, Mags!

Wow, did I just get shotgun?

^^^. Looks like it. :)

Yes! Congratulations on Shotgun LHW :c011:

Really happy that Billie seems to like the porch potty and uses it without much prompting. :). Much more convenient than taking her out to the front and the chance that she'll see another dog and go ballistic. :dee

Whoever thought of making the porch potty was very smart. :). Hope they're making lots of money now. :)

Thankful to you Mags :)

Ditto Kaily.

Great post, Mags!! I am thankful to SR and everyone here for helping me get rid of this demonic habit in 2022. End of Day 375 - Good night from Seattle.

I am thankful to wake up with no hangover today (and every day).

Thanks everyone for being here and helping recovery to not suck! :thanks

Very thankful to be sober and have my life back, which would have likely not been possible but for SR and you guys.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the US folks like me! :E01:

I have to 2nd what pups and city said.
Thankful for sobriety and everyone here on SR

Thankful for food I can afford
Thankful to all the farmers, truckers, grocery store workers, who work hard to feed us daily.
Thankful for the animals that sacrifice their lives to provide us nutrition
Thankful to all the techies , admins, moderators, community greeters, and frequent posters who make this place what it is, a lifesaver, for so many of us
Thank you, Lord, for giving me the strength, finally, to be free of my addiction.

For all these things, for all of you, I am eternally grateful.

Free

Grateful for a good sleep last night. Grateful for Billie's love and devotion. :)

Good Morning Weekenders

AthensDawg good work on 4 months without alcohol. :c011:

Runner congratulations on 39 years wedding anniversary to you and Mrs. R. ❤️ , good work on your 53 days sober stretch! You can do this and never have a day 1 again. :)

CBS 707 days! Yaaay! :dance8:

I had a drinking dream last night. I was hiding it from my family and drinking at work, hoping I could hide it from them too.
I remember when I did drink my life was full of deceit. I didn’t see it at the time when I was planning, scheming, and craving my next drink. I was so caught up in the act of drinking or planning my next drink I didn’t give
💯 % to living.
So I’m very thankful I don’t drink. I’m taking on life head on and it can be scary sometimes but sure beats hiding behind the booze.

Love to all Weekenders xxxx
