It's a wonderful fall day here in New York. The sun is shining, the leaves are changing, the rats are less noticeable. Meeting with vendor for lunch, planning meetings this afternoon, then outta here by 5:00 sharp. Racquetball at NYSC then dinner at Megu in Midtown. This is my favorite restaurant in NY and wish I could take you guys with me. My funk has lifted and my mood has soared back to its normal level. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

Morning to all!
Feeling good today. Have a work meeting until 8:30 tonight, but trying not to let that get me down...they're only once a month so I guess I will survive! No drinking or smoking urges to speak of (thankfully). I know that can change in an instant, so for now I am grateful. Hope you all have a great Wednesday!!

Hi Rocksober Stars!

Checking in to brag that I went to two weddings this weekend and did NOT wreck them by drinking! Didn't even want to (amen amen amen).

I have boatloads of work and a sick girl at home, but I'm reading and rooting for everyone daily.

Hey folks how are you. Well another beautiful morning here but it's going to turn later today. A nor'easter is forecast for late afternoon. My new bike gets delivered tomorrow so I'm quite excited. Looking forward to the weekend. Golfing on Sunday with my friend John. Saturday I'll just workout read and maybe shop online. I think I could use a date, but no one interests me at the moment. I took a lovely woman to dinner last night but quickly determined we had little in common. She is a corporate lawyer and lives in the city. She did some pro bono work for a charity fund I support. It's where we met. Over dinner I found out that she loves South Beach, NASCAR, tanning beds, has 80 pairs of shoes, and has an annoying nasal twang to her voice. She also drank too much wine and sake. After the meal she ordered another "hot soke" YES, she said soke. I said check PLEASE. We parted outside Megu. I blew her a kiss while pointing to my lip mouthing the word herpes. Good thinkin' Techie. With a sigh of relief I headed toward Grand Central. SOKE!!!

Live life now
The joy and fulfillment you seek, are here now for you to experience. If you are not fully present in this moment, when will you ever be?
Don't waste another minute by waiting for conditions to improve. The opportunity to live the best day of your life is here and now.

Embrace this moment just as it is, and taste its richness. Step confidently forward just as you are, and fully live life now.

Obsessing over what could have been or what should have been won't bring you any value. Following your positive purpose in this moment is what will create value.

You are now free from all the limitations you had imposed on yourself in the past. You can now see your best possibilities and act to fulfill them.

There is so much richness right here and now. Open yourself to the beautiful experience that is yours to fulfill.

Techie-
I love your date story...hahahaha. I don't even bother to date, maybe I'm too lazy, or maybe I just don't care anymore! People always ask me why I'm not dating, or involved or married...like it's unnatural (maybe they think it is). I guess I'm just a free-spirit that can't be tamed. LOL
Day 30 AF (since my slip) and day 10 NF....and going strong!
Hope everyone is well! :h

K-9-Congrats on 30 days!-I'm jealous...
Don't know about the dating thing-still married- but will throw in my thoughts on that- I think finding a non-drinker might be the way to go here...
herpes-eww- she's probably too grossed out -if she remembers-after all those "sokes"...

Thought For Day 15

Positive action
The way to get beyond frustration is to do something about it. Do something positive and meaningful and valuable.
The way to transform problems into opportunities is to do something about those problems. The way to reach your dreams is to get busy and do something about them.

It's great to think and dream and imagine and plan and analyze and consider. Yet it is positive, effective action that will bring those dreams and well-thought-out plans to life.

Is there something you've been meaning to do, something you've been planning to achieve? Now is the ideal moment to put those plans into action.

Now is when you can make things happen. Now is when you can experience the satisfaction of pointing all your energy and resources in a purposeful direction.

You've been doing a lot of thinking, and now is when you can act on those thoughts. Use this moment to take positive action, and bring great new value into your world.
