    The house that G built.

    Hi y'all,

    Congratulations on day 2 Corri. That is huge mate. Today must be day 3!

    Hope you're ok Siren! Can you walk, or do I have to carry you around all day like Niner?

    How was your break? No pun intended.

    Good to see you back.

    Have a ripper Cozza and all.

    Day 49. Bring it on.

      Is anyone here.
      Anyone.
      Anyone to ....reason with me.
      Not drinking. Day 3 intact, but if it floats your boat, all things explained my story thread.

        I still struggle with this...today was my first summer party where everyone would be drinking and I...NOT. No alcohol, no smokes, no yummy food. And now six months draggin' on ~ no sex **Sigh** No fun these days for Persephone! I swear, I cannot escape this feeling of deprivation. And yet, I HAVE to remind myself that some of this (the food & sex ~ I hope!) are just temporary. Alas, I didn't really miss the intoxication at the party. As I was getting ready, I remembered plenty of 'parties past' wherein I started and didn't stop and wound up regretting the whole mess. No, I am grateful that I stayed the course and have no regret tonight and more importantly, tomorrow am.

                    Evening from a wintery souther Oz.

                    Just back from a cool gig, and played up a storm. There were chicks, but no sex tonight for G boy. The chicks were mostly lesbian, which i'm sure doesn't mean the ladies thought me ugly. What am i waffling about?!

                    Perse, good job on getting through the partay. Who needs booze to numb our senses anymore. The cost is too great and we may never return. Sex is better sober did you know? And no, i'm not rubbing it in cause yer not getting any....:H

                    Hi LB! Yep, a run and a dip this morning. The sun was out, it was really refreshing. Cold, but refreshing.

                    Hi Cori.

                    Are you out there tonight?

                    Into the fruit cake as we speak. Noyce.

                      I can walk - I just have a HUGE bruise on my leg. Apparently I went over the handle bars. I know how to fall, though, so I rolled and ended up mostly OK.

                      The holiday itself was a lot more stressful than I thought it would be. Suffice it to say that my husband made it clear that he is moving on. I had thought we were going to try to work things out. I have a work thing coming up this week - 3 days with my boss and 2 others who have the same position as me. We're gearing up to really push forward on our project and will be working long hours over the next few days. I am going back on AB Wednesday night.

                      I'm not counting days this time. I just want to forget about alcohol for a while.

                      Sorry you're struggling Perse and Cori! But you both know that alcohol only makes things worse, never better, especially sex! Not that I would remember what that's like
                      Well it's all right now. I've learned my lesson well. You see you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

                        The best of the best of good mornings to y'all from a cool south of Straya.

                        Take care of yourself there Siren. Sounds like you have a lot going on. The AB sounds like a good back up.

                        Feeling real good at Day 50.

                        Lot's of possibilities, and sober living gives me the clarity, energy and self confidence to do long overlooked and neglected things I love.

                        I have neglected me for so long. But I am turning that around and making history baby! Anyone can.

                        Yo! Bring it on.

                          You sound great Gman. I'm so pleased for you!

                          When you learn how to take care of yourself please share the secret. Most days I only just barely get by in that department. I've spent so much time taking care of everyone else it seems I've forgotten how to take care of me.

                            Hi all, back among the internet connected. Was in remote villages with limited/no cellphone converage. Then it was non-stop meetings that started at 7am and ended around 10pm.

                            Today's big victory was pouring wine down the drain, after I had poured myself a glass (from those darn mini-bars) but before I took a sip. Had been feeling lonely, tired, and sorry for myself about being lonely and tired but then thought "do I really want this?" I'll make myself post on MWO and, before the second post, I dumped the wine.

                            Congrats Mr. G on 50 days!
