Not so early today. I slept in till 5:19.
I'm happy yoga class is on for today. I truly love my teacher.
We were placed together for a reason.

A sober and blessed day to all.

It's a beautiful day to be sober...I made it through day 4 and am grateful for that!
Woke up at 5:18 and decided to get up. The house is so quiet, it's lovely. Happy Sunday everyone!

Looking forward to a nice sober day

3:37 AM and I have been up for a while.
Probably catch up with me in church this morning.
That's ok at least I'm not entertaining the thought of drinking.
A nice sober day wished for all.
from,
Bob

Woke up first time around around 3:30 as I do and saw the news about David Bowie. Did my usual half sleep until around 5 and hoped it was only a dream. Sad morning here.

It's part of the fabric of my life. I owe nearly 1 year sober to SR.
This is my ritual as well and I'm only on day 6! I get up before everyone and enjoy coffee, the peace and SR and check it on my phone while I nurse my little guy to sleep.

Glad this has helped you for a 1 now, that is some inspiration right there!

Good morning friends- It's 6:49 here in the Sunshine State. Was hoping to get up earlier for a workout but I'll probably be able to fit one in before the afternoon.

Slept well although my dreams have been a bit strange- lots of fighting in them. Today is day 6, my DH's bday and I am curious to see how the day pans out. It's chilly here, and I am loving the "winter like" weather.
Happy, Sober Monday!!

Good Morning All!

How is it I have missed this early morning thread ? It's right up my alley. I'm up usually by 5:00-5:30 am...., sometimes earlier..... Even on vacation,. I love the peace and serenity this time of the morning offers. I remember the days, several years ago , when I would be heading out to the store for little bottles of wine at this time. Grateful that's a thing of the past.

Have a great day everyone,

My little dog woke me up to let her out. Now I'm wide awake. The streets are snow covered and the wind is howling.

I'm afraid we finally got our winter...

Going to load up our travel trailer today and get ready to head out to the desert.
Been going out to Borrego Springs for around 50 years now.
Yes, time does fly.

6:10 over here but my eyes popped open around 4:50. Got out of bed, and came here. I love this morning ritual with a cup of warm joe.
Happy, beautiful sober Tuesday my friends...

4 am this morning for me, but I love the quiet, dark world when everyone is asleep. Haven't spent time with you guys in awhile, and it was a joy to return and see you all!

Up at 4:20.
The woman who gave me my 24 hour chip and her partner are
coming from CO to the noon meeting to celebrate my 1st birthday today.
I was told yesterday at work a woman from Denver is coming up to go over and show me things at work. Am not happy that I may miss my meeting and celebration. A bit resentful! I know work comes 1st but it's getting old having no notice on things. Praying I can be done and make the meeting.
Happy Tuesday to all.

Good morning
Slept till 4:30 when the alarm went off. Yesterday turned out to be a great day. Today will be also.
Work, errands and then relaxing.

Take care everyone.

Woke up to a nice cup of Coffee brought to my bedroom by my housemate at 8am Irish time.
Had appointment with GP at 9am , he was quite impressed by my progression.
So all is good a day at a time.
Have a friend calling tonight to watch a movie so I must get some goodies in.
I feel I'm really starting to come around to myself, a little over 2 weeks sober.
