Sao, congratulations early on your bday! How exciting. Doing anything special? As I get older, I am kind of happy to not really celebrate too much! 
Love and peace as we go into a sober weekend.
Take care all!

this is strange, I’ve never not worked. I have two gorgeous Russian Blue boy kitties. The lights in my sparkly life! Hubs is good. Have an odd thought now and again about smothering him with his pillow but it passes😂. Still in the same house. Having Birthday Dinner up in the canyon at a favorite place for 40 years!
I hope every one is well. (((((Dee)))) our favorite rooster, dear Anna, Fandella and of course my sobriety sister! We share the same day! Dear Venus and all!
much love from Lenina the Loon!!

Hi Mags
I am definitely pleased to be sober in contrast to dying because of the drink. One side is the light the other side is the dark depths of despair. Active addiction robbed me of everything I held near and dear to me, even my worth as a human. The darkness hides my light, making it too dim to see as drunk. My superpower is being "awake" with eyes open, out of addictions doom, and gloom.
Life is good even when it seems like things aren't going my way. Hope in my heart, loving light to guide me, I am willing to pay any price to be free of the drug darkness that can consume me dead.
Mod or Rocker?
Thanks, Debbie nice glitter img
Proud to be Sober, or dying for the next drink?

Went to bed an hour ago but the itching started up and I could not get to sleep. 
So I got out of bed and made a cup of coffee. Might try going back to bed in a while. Hope the itching settles down.
Shame too, cause Billie was all snuggled up in the crook of my knees. When I got up, I woke her up.
If I'm up til the wee hours, I'll dust and mop the floors, make them shiny.
Or I could go thru a box and put stuff away....
I gave Billie a few bits of chicken from my microwave dinner and she went wild. She is so spoiled... 
Wonder who made her that way...
RunnerF, that is really unfair of your wife to pressure to drink. Very uncool. Have you told her point blank to knock it off? Or have you told her and she does not seem to care about your decision to live your life sober. Emphasis on "your". That's rude of her, to say the least, unthinking and uncaring at worst. When you love someone, you want them to be happy and healthy, not drunk and pathetic. sigh...
Well, I'm going to make another cuppa and dust mop the floors. If I'm ambitious enough, I'll even mop my floors. I'm getting rid of the moving boxes one at a time, but it still looks discouraging to still see so many boxes stacked up. At least 16 more, not counting 4 boxes in the bedroom. I'm still strapped as about a third of those boxes are books, and I have nowhere to put books cause the two bookshelves ck and sil got were filled right away, and still more boxes of books. I'm trying to tackle some of the boxes by my desk and table, cause Billie sometimes uses the boxes as a stairway and climbs up and gets into the stuff on my desk! 
I temporarily stopped her from doing that by standing a big laundry hamper upside down so she can't get in there to use as a step. haha
