I don’t know what that was all about but I don’t like it.

Day 100
This is not that weird at all. The last time I drank I was drinking enough that I was buying the cheap bottom shelf whiskey. It turned out to be a good thing because the nasty taste of that whiskey haunted me for the longest time and was a deterrent to drinking more. Even now after over 300 days it occasionally still returns and I don't ever care to taste that again.

Good morning. It's day 5. Have a phone appt with Merchants Quay addiction services today and going to AA at 1pm.

AV very quiet.

Trying to stop smoking after this pack. It's such a waste of money. I really need to be saving. I'll still vape.

Ate so much yesterday. Kinda tempted to buy pseudoephedrine so I can fast easily but that's not good for me. Will just have to try dieting normally.

Well done on reaching Day 5, freedomfries. Hope your phone appointment with addiction services goes well.

A healthy weight loss plan is the way to go! Good choice.

Morning all

Congrats on getting through ST. I get it completely. In the UK alcohol is sold in normal grocery stores. our only local shop therefore sells booze. I often shop before work instead of after work as you can't buy alcohol here before 10am. It's too dangerous for me to go in after work, especially if I've had a challenging day.

Day 26. Off work now for 10 days wee hee! Bit excited. Jr Ral off on hols tomorrow so dropping him off then I'm off too with my 10 books and suncream. Early start 4am so by the time I get to the hotel I will just want to sleep. never been one for drinking in airport lounges or on flight so that's not an issue. I can do this. I WILL do this and have a sober break. only away a few nights and it's only B & B so none of that AI silliness, people getting pished at 9am and carrying on all day.

Learn from our experiences

Everything we are going through to stay sober is making our lives better, our families lives better, our communities lives better. We are learning from our experiences with abusing alcohol. In my case, I’m leaving from being an active alcoholic for thirty years.

Sending good energy to everyone in this class of the beautiful month of May to stay sober for the next 24 hours!!!

Thanks everyone!!

DD glad to know it’s not just me.

I am happy to report that my coffee tastes like coffee today 🙌🏻

I started introducing my kids to movies and TV my husband and I watched as kids and so far they have pretty much loved everything. My daughter thought the Dukes of Hazzard was ok but my boys loved it. Gilliland Island and the 60s Batman (already old when I was a kid) were a huge hit. Tonight I’m making homemade calzones and we’re watching the Karate Kid. I was sooo in love with Ralph Macchio 😂 My daughter is about 4 years old than I was when it was released I can’t wait to see what she has to say. Probably ewww mom 😝

Day 101

Ale, your post is SOO funny. We have a lot in common other than being sober twins. I live in Southern California, watched Gilligan's Island and Dukes of Hazard, and was madly in love with Ralph Macchio and Matt Dillon!. I had their posters up on my wall! Ha ha!

Happy SOBER DAY to you, Ale, and everyone in the class of May. Stay sober so we can get our graduation hats from Dee at the end of the month!

Ha ha Listae I had Kirk Cameron plastered all over my walls 😂

I need to introduce them to Mork and Mindy. I was pretty young when that was out but I never missed it. My aunt and uncle lived next door to us and I would always go over there and watch it and eat popcorn. They love Robin Williams so I think that one might be a big hit too.
