I slept over 8 hours. Very unusual and wonderful.
Picked up a temporary P/T job at a car dealership doing filing and phones. The hours are good and I’m relieved.
Enjoy your vacation Ringo.
Farmers market for cupcakes day!
Have a good Saturday all.

Farmers market and cupcakes sound great Imvalentine!
Heading to yoga soon but a close to home day planned.
Chores and doggy bath on the agenda then some reading and much needed chill time.
Wishing you all a safe and fun Saturday

Posting 2 days after falling off the wagon. Can't shake the feeling of guilt and hopelessness. Going to try, though.
Is this a regular thread? I ruminate about alcohol in the AM and it's my most challenging part of the day, sobriety wise.

woke up feeling sad about not still having my old job (lost to drinking 6 years ago), but started feeling grateful because at least I have a part time job to head to and also most important, I can come here to write this. Enjoy the day all!

Hi Pouncer 
Up at 6:30 AM, another dreary rainy day. Went out to push the water off the canopy of my gazebo and got soaked! Think I'll go into work for a few hours this morning....

Good morning and welcome Pouncer and Awake61. Nice to see new names. We are here every morning.
A little late today. Woke up earlier for about an hour though. Just me and the Gdaughter today.
Awake-I am retired but will be starting a P/T temp job this week. I’m very grateful to have found it.
A safe sober Sunday to all.

Hoping Gdaughter goes back to sleep! I could use some more myself but am wide awake. The call of nature and toddlers are tiring.
Attending bbq at XAH’s later. Trying to keep my mindset positive.
Definitely a Serenity Prayer day ahead.
A good Monday and holiday to all.

Good morning and happy Labor day.
For some, of today is a holiday/day off from work but it always evokes memories
of cookouts and parades from childhood.
My parents were not big drinkers but our neighbors sure were!
Am doing a bit of work this morning then off to yoga and horses, two of my favorite things.
Feeling grateful for sobriety, the life I am creating and for all you great people.

Woke up to use the bathroom and started thinking so here I am wide awake.
The bbq yesterday was a reminder of why I’m divorced and the repercussions of alcoholism and denial. I’m grateful I can see what I did and what my denial is still doing to keep the facade up. Not fun but neither is living in la la land.
Start P/T temp job today. I need to keep in mind the temporary and not feel trapped. I’m a mess this morning!
Hope everyone has a good Tuesday.

Sounds like a good and insightful weekend for many here.
On Saturday late afternoon one of my neighbors had a party.
You could hear the glasses clinking and tabs popping and then after an hour or so terrible argument broke out.
I live in a nice apartment complex but we are all very much on top of each other.
Anyway a man and woman arguing loudly, incomprehensible and lots of slurred words.
Now, no judgement, I had plenty of slurry arguments with my ex in the past but I was struck with how much the alcohol part really stood out in this situation.
The sounds, the timing, the anger.
I guess just being on the other side and hearing others suffering really made me
even more thankful for my sobriety.
Only 80 days in and a lifetime ahead but thankful.
Have a great day all.

Up early this morning. My BF is in NY until Saturday so I am "home alone". It is really nice to just have to take care of myself and of course the cats, fish, plants and household. Lol Have a great day, everyone!
