6:32 AM I fell back to sleep |
Good morning early risers. 2:05 AM here. Normally I'm up by 3:30-4:00 AM but today is a lIttle earlier than normal. Was exhausted after a morning repainting a room in our house. Then spent the afternoon at a local festival. Was out by 7:30 pm. |
Well it's 12:44 AM here. I went to bed early and woke very early. Went outside to have some hot tea and smoke my pipe (tobacco). And to check out the Star Shower lights I recently installed. I bought a six pack of these so I could give some away (they are cool) Star Shower - Shower Your Home with Thousands of Dazzling Lights https://youtu.be/gRaTgfnuI14 Think I will go hit the couch and watch some news, then wake up in a few hours and give this another try. In the old days I would be getting a drink right now ! MM |
Mornin all! A bit early for me also Bob but I'm already on the coffee and gonna push through. |
Hi all! |
Sober Sunday here in Baton Rouge. :) Woke up around 4:50am and headed to the kitchen for my first of several cups of good Community Coffee just waiting to be poured in my tall coffee cup. I hadn't seen this thread in a few days or since I last posted and decided to pull up my own post to see if there were any further activity on them. Im glad I checked this one as I see a few more early rises came to post. :) Yay..!!! I read your post MtnBob and the star light made me sit up and get excited because I was just talking to my husband about wanting some kind of star lights to shine on our white fence that surrounds our back yard. We already have garden lights that are placed around our pool and are lite with red bulbs because red is my all time favorite color and is the main color in my home, roof, flowers, my comfy red recliner chairs inside and out, rugs, etc. :) Anyway, when we went to Lowes yesterday, our second home, :) my husband must have showed me those star shower lights but it didn't register to me what they were for some reason. As I was telling him this morning about ur lights, I told him that's what I was talking about and wanted for our back yard. He told me he showed them to me yesterday while we were out and about. What, I don't remember....lol Anyway, I remember in the movie, She's All That, they had these lights or lots of little lights all over their back yard and with a flip of the switch the yrd turned magical. That's what I want....lol Thank You MtnBob for sharing what those lights are and now I will know what im looking for. :) Question tho...... Do they come in just clear lights or just in multi colors? |

Cost is for one 40 dollars plus shipping or a six pack for 200 dollars. They make very nice green laser color dots or red mixed with green. Everyone that has seen them wants to buy one. Have a nice sober day -- wished for all, M-Bob |
Good mornin all. |
Good sober morning. 3:15 AM MB |
Early riser here too. Been up since 4:45am. :) Been outside early with my coffee and making sure my bird feeders are in the right place, umbrellas up, as we are due for rain today. We have those early Mockingbirds, Cardinals, Wrens, BlueJays, Sparrows, ready to eat, so their suets and seed feeders are full and under cover to not get wet. Drank one full coffee and now on my second watch Classic VH1 video's as I share my ESH - experiences, strengths and hopes with early risers on SR. :) Happy Sober Marvelous Monday SR..!!! |
3:24 AM Looking forward to a nice bicycle ride with an old friend today. A nice sober day wished for all. MB |
Happy Sober Terrific Tuesday here. Woke up around 4ish, turned off my A/C and layed in bed till 5am. Turned on the TV, grabbed my Mt. Rushmore coffee cup that I picked up on our Sturgis trip this past August, filled it with piping hot coffee sweetening it with SF cinnamon brown sugar coffee flavoring and sat down in my comfy recliner with my laptop on my lap sharing my early riser post with you guys. :) We are due for rain today, tomorrow, or whenever it gets here. We were expecting rain yesterday and didn't get nair a drop....lol Anyway, im in a good place in my recovery this morning as I look forward to todays activities, making sure to keep what was taught to me in mind and practice those important steps and principles in my daily affairs and never hesitate to ask for help if needed from the fellowship of SR and from my HP - Higher Power. :) |

Mornin Risers! Geesh Bob, you went and started somethin' here. 2 new threads in competition for the "when it's dark out" crowd. No biggie, I'll post in the other 2 After posting here and making coffee. |
Good morning ER's! Getting over a bad case of opinionitis concerning some threads yesterday but sleep helped. Today is a new day and I don't have to practice that which I regret doing yesterday. A new day and coffee are just the greatest! Thank you solar system and south american coffee growers/pickers/shippers/roasters/packers. |
Good morning, up since 9.30 here in Ireland, weather is quite bad but my spirits have elevated some what. Had 2 Coffees and a dreaded cigarette (well actually 3 why am I lying) Had a read over some post here and I'm happy to see some fab advice and suggestions given by the good people on here. This day last week I was really in a bad way, the wounds are healing, the stitches are beginning to disappear and my cravings have reduced considerably. I have lost my Job but hell I didn't like it anyway, maybe it was Gods plan, I'll get another one soon if I can stay sober which I plan to. Enjoy the day everybody. |
Wet Wednesday here in B.R. as that slow moving rain finally got to us late evening and night and early this morning. My husband install a small a/c behind my side of the bed to keep me cool at night, so I turned it off and could hear the rain thru the unit and just wanted to stay right where I was mesmerized by the falling rain sounds. That was around 4am as my ears were listening to one thing and my nose was sensing the aroma of fresh coffee brewing in the kitchen waiting for me to respond. :) I did get up around 5am, grabbed my cup of coffee and now am sitting here sharing my ESH with early risers like me. :) A few weeks or so ago I read a reply to a post I shared and it really ruffled my feathers causing me to resent what was written. I know what I am suppose to do from all the lessons Ive learned in recovery about holding on to those resentments. They can keep us sick in mind, heart and soul eating away at us and interfering with us emotionally, physically, spiritually until we talk about it and let it go. I finally did share my resentment with one person I felt comfortable with and got some much needed relief from harboring this uncomfortable feeling of resentment for as long as I did. Some folks really know how to push buttons and who knows, they may not know what they are saying or doing, so chosing our words should be a good way to do it. But then, we learn that we have no control over other peoples thoughts or actions and just have to accept it in a way that we cant change or control these folks. So don't even try. Right? I try to share my own ESH- experiences, strengths and hopes of what my own life has, have and is like before, during and after my drinking career. Never telling anyone what they should do but to use suggestions as guidance in recovery. There are many affective lessons to learn in recovery to help us achieve continuous sobriety, health, happiness and honesty. Okay, ive got to freshen my coffee. See you early risers in a few. :) |
Let's do it again Thank you all for posting on this sober morning. 4:17 AM here A sober buddy and I plan on doing some tree work around here this morning. Then down the mountain for a nice outside on the patio lunch. All we can eat buffet Italian food. Let's do it again folks -- no drinking -- One Day At A Time. MB |
Twilight is just around the corner and I'm ready for it. Couldn't always say that when drinking. T'was always...."and I'm ready for the stores to allow alcohol sales at 6." Same readiness but without the anxiety and singlemindedness. Peace to all y'all. |
Waking up another morning sober and well rested as I sit here with my tall cup of hot coffee listening to the vh1 music and weather on tv. :) Don't have much planned for the day, but will continue to Winter prepare my garden beds as I see we will dip down to 34 Sunday morning after another front comes thru down here in the south. Late yesterday when the skies darkened we plugged in a small light projector we got from Home Depot with a white revolving light to reflect on our white fence. From where we sit in our garage at an angle, the light was pretty mesmorizing as it swirled around. We only bought one projector with the white light, but it comes in other colors, red, blue, green, multiple.... We chose the white but I believe any color will look just a good. :) I have several statues in my yard, and where I placed the projector it shines on Mother Mary allowing Her to be lit up with a bright white light swirling around Her. It's pretty lovely to see. :) I'll be heading outside in a few before day break to plug my light in again for some inspiration to carry me thru out the day. Whatever is needed to continue to live in the Light and freedom from the bondage of self will. Peace and Serenity from the evils that are always lurking to bring me down. Let's stand strong against them all one more sober or clean day. :) |
