SOBER OCTOBER

OMG, was away a good part of last week and didn't read the thread thoroughly. I missed out on so much banter. Frogs -- my dog would devour your pet whole and then hop around looking for more. Movies -- the Thin Man series, Dashell Hammet, and churning butter being good for the forearms. And how is that Nora gets all kinds of comments about her silky hair and no one comments on my legs (shown in my avatar).

Happy to report an AF day and night for me.

I'm in for sober october. So tired I put milk in my coffee this morning after 5 yrs of drinking it black. Thats a new one and if anyone chimes in and tells me pouring milk where it doesnt belong is a normal recovery sympton i will jump off this ride, lol. Hope everyone is well and strong and focused.

Focused -- where are the prizes for using that word? It's been my mantra all month.

Can't think of anything witty this morning, must be just too dang early. Love waking up from an AF night.

Ha, no prizes until the month is done!

hey Sober Octobers, very busy around here with limited access to the internet. At home the trees have virtually blocked our access to the satellite and we've used all our gigs or bites or whatever using the portable hotspot and at work our modem quit. So I steal moments here and there to get online.

Doing well and glad to see the rest of you are too. I have been working on some items on my bucket list and having fun doing so.

Take care, guys.

Tom321, but we want our prizes now. The inner child is calling for some kind of reward at this three week mark. Surely the guy who won the 5th grade art contest can come up with something? Do we have to go to the Guggenheim to find your prize?

Dashing off to my consulting gig. Cheers to all.

Ok, ok. Keeping the demographics of the majority of participants in this thread in mind I have come up with one of the prizes. I had to work out the details and negotiate but here it is: whoever makes it through this month gets a personal visit, at her own expense, from NoraC. Apparently Nora has been spending much of her sober time working on a one woman rendition of Fifty Shades Of Grey acted out with puppets. She will unveil the final product to all those who make it through sober October. Stay focused everyone.

So my last check in for a while. I m in Tampa headed to my in laws house . No wifi and no al. Have a good week all

Tom. Watching you over on the other thread is prize enough...though I never did understand the whole 50 shades thing, so maybe the puppets might help.

Well, I slipped, and I'm not sorry, I had a glass of wine at dinner last night, and left half of the second glass behind. I'm not sorry because it just confirmed to me that I really don't want to drink. I stopped, because I was really aware of how I would feel today. And I really didn't want it. Imagine that!!!

I know I will need to be extra vigilant to make sure it's not a slippery slope, I still have too much going on and too much at stake to fall back into old ways,

That one glass, interestingly, made me feel drunk enough to be unsure re driving,

No judgement here, Quake. Keep going. You still get the prize, i hear Nora really brings it to life in a visceral way.

Quakegirl -- good for you for knowing what you do and don't want.

Tom--I, too, am enjoying your posts elsewhere, but I will look forward to my prize.

Time to call it a day for me -- 20 hours in transit leaves me knackered.

I'm sober and it's October. I know, dumb post, but I didn't want to be lurking and couldn't think of anything enlightening. or jokes. I'm working on a limerick - will keep you posted.
