30 days???

Happy Saturday, all!

Not much to report, here. At work for a little while this morning, leaving soon. Then off to run errands. Hopefully home for the rest of the week end, where it is warm. Snowey and cold outside, here. Still adjusting to the "no kid" thing. Want to make a nice dinner tonight. Haven't really cooked since last week end. Had 15, for a Turkey dinner on the 15th. Family from out of state, 3 of the boys, one girlfriend and friends. Hub and I will be by ourselves on Thursday, but that's OK. Lots going on for both of us at work, so it will be nice to rest. Looking forward to spending the day, next sat. Nov. 29th in the city shopping, lunching out, taking my ice skates and going to the outdoor ice arena. Will have dinner and see a play or music. I have to look at what is going on, in tomorrows paper and decide. It will be a fun day. Hope hub will be up to the walking. He has had his first round of gout, recently. That would be the only thing that would cause us to cancel. Sobriety is still going well. It will be 8 mos. on Dec. 8th. Unbelievable! Really happy to be where I am regarding alcohol. Cowgal, so glad you sound strong, you too LUV. Morrison, happy you are here with us, Hi to DET, Greenie, Bird, More2, Catwoman, letgo!

Everyone, take care! Love, Best

Hi all! I'm out of town and about to go letterboxing! Luvie-duvie, for christmas I want youto bottle up some of your energy essence and give it to me! :h

30 days???

Greenie, what is letterboxing? (seriously ...I haven't a clue...I just know this is gonna be one of those oh GOSH DUH-UH kinda things..)

No joke Greenie, I am so bubbley and happy sober and full of energy, I can not for the life of me firgure out why I numb this. That is why I get suicidal when drinking...I am damn depressed it is so NOT my character. But, when I go on a binge, it is a real cycle for me...It isn't just the BOOZE...it is a very draining psychilogical abuse for me. I think some here understand that and some not so much. For me drinking is nio relaxing or even escaping anymore...it takes me to a very dark place and getting OUT of that dark place gets much harder each time. I am feeling very positive and in tune with myself. Had a little "glimpse' of wanting a drink yesterday and really thought to myself "are you fucking kidding me ...WHY WHY WHY would you even want one????? I could not have gave in...had 500 mgs of antabuse already running throught the veins, but the thought did pass quickly...37th year will be sober...when I say happy b-day to me 38th year...I will also be saying 1+ year sober....my goal (oh and I will have lost all the booze weight too)

Luv, google letterboxing .org or atlasquest.com and it will explain it. It is like a treasure hunt incorporating inkstamps. I'll take you to show you one my sister and I planted in honor (now in memory) of my mother in Saluda Shoals Park one weekend when you have time. It doesnt' take very long except for your drive to the dam or my house. Bring the kids and we'll have a picnic lunch, weather permitting. We can even take little doggie.

That is very nice Greenie and the kids would love it, we can bring our newest little devil too.... She is a menice...HA Of course, it is FREEZING right this minute! But, we'd all LOVE it!

I googled letterboxing and find it fascinating! It goes also by another geo name. I found sites that are dog friendly, among many other things. VERY COOL!

Oh I thought you were going to box letters in a ring. Will have to look that up. We went shopping all day and I got a new pair of shoes. One of the kids is spending the night and my little one and I are going to watch a movie. Put a new wick in our kerosene heater and set the damn thing too low and it is not heating up very well. Will have to tear the whole thing apart to fix. Might end up in a motel tonight if it doesnt heat up soon. Well I have 30 days again. Hope it hangs around this time. Havent had as much trouble this time around. later on....bird

Wow, that letterboxing is really something. I'm always amazed to know that things like this exist and have such a following, but so many of us never even heard of it. Not really a small world after all I guess. A treasure hunt!! How neat.

On another note, I'm on day two. Yesterday was not fun. First day of drying out. I just took antabuse a couple hours ago. I don't know if it is too soon or not, but I didn't throw up. I just really needed to get it into me, being it's Saturday and all.
