Morning all!

Mama - You did GREAT!! And you are doing great! You thought it all thru. That is something that I still have a hard time doing. But, you did it!! :dancin::cheering:cheering So very happy for you.

Paula - I haven't checked our weather yet. But, it looks like a nice day here too.

Sun - hope you enjoyed your concert last night. Sounds like fun. I hope that you are feeling ok after all your walking.

Alls - hope you are having a wonderful time.

Hi Friends,
Another perfect day. Worked in the garden this morning, even moved a shrub that was 6-7 years old. Now that the weather has cooled a bit and we have more moisture in the soil, I can move plants arond and put in some new ones. This afternoon hubby and I went to an arts festival held in a large public garden, and then dinner was at a German restaurant that we had been wanting to try. There were people walking around with a glass of wine at the festival, but I didn't want any, nor the German beer.

Paula and Nora, I'm not in bad pain, and my medication really helps when I need it. I'm mostly uncomfortable, slow and tired. But I keep going, if I stop I'm dead! And Paula, I think you've about reached that 60 day milestone, right?

Mama, you continue to do well in spite of being surrounded by people drinking. Keep repeating why you don't want to drink, and it will become more automatic. It really does take quite some time for that desire to go completely away.

Thanks Sun...I felt really sorry for myself for a bit, but eventually got over it.
Husband's wrath and hangovers have no appeal for me.
Sounds like you have a lovely day..I am off to do some yardwork myself......
but right now I am sipping coffee and being lazy on my clean sheets.....LOVE CLEAN SHEET DAY!

Hi everyone, it's been a lovely day. I managed to have a long walk, which should help with my pain. It is awful to be in pain Sun, I did believe at one time that drinking woul ease it, but it was only ever temporary. Yes I think I have reached 60 days, which is such a surprise to me, but it does feel good. You, Mama and Nora, are all doing so well. I think it is definitely the support on here.

Lovely day for me. Sang at a different church with an ecumenical choral group. Spent the afternoon with a gardening friend, viewing and discussing my gardens then hers. Hubby went to help out his brother, will return tomorrow. I've been researching Cumberland Island National Seashores for a possible March or April trip.

Paula, always keep moving is my motto.

Sounds like a wonderful day Sun.

I drank yesterday. I'm back to my green happy face on my calendar today though. I got some happy face stickers. So, I have 20 green happy day stickers and 1 upside down red happy face sticker (that means unhappy). So, I'm happy to be able to put another green happy face today.

I agree - Boring is good, having a routine without monkey wrenches getting thrown in constantly is the way to go. Keep racking up green stickers Nora.
