Well - my FIL has developed a farting habit in his older age. Farts all the time anywhere. So pleasant to be out in public with him. :H

Well - still a sober October here for me too. I have to ask......does anyone mind me being here with you because I take Antabuse? If you feel like I shouldn't post here, just let me know.

Who cares if you take antabuse? This is about staying sober. Welcome.

That's what Tommy likes to hear. Now change your mood from pensive to something else. So there.

We're off to a lovely start, lol. There is actually someone new to this forum that I would like to introduce into this thread at some point today...unless someone objects in which case I will hold my breath until they relent.

[NoraC]

SOBER OCTOBER

Oh - please don't hold your breath until you turn blue. :bagdude:

Seriously - happy to welcome the new member.

Lmao. Seriously- I appreciate that.

A conversation I had with this person earlier got me to thinking about the issue of judging and how what works for one person may not work for another. I've been flinging around the phrases "owning your sobriety" and "when in doubt the answer is no" a lot lately it seems. Maybe too much for some, lol. Between that and Nora mentioning antabuse it really got me to thinking how very important it is for us to not have to justify our path. It is our property and if it is working that is all that matters. If all that worked for me was sticking my thumb up my ass and whistling Dixie every time I got a craving then so be it. (For the record I don't do that) but hopefully my point comes across.

Tom - thank you for that. I agree that no one should have to justify their path. We all need to find our own way. And what works perfectly for one person may not help another person at all.

(I am glad to hear that you don't stick your thumb up your ass whenever you get a craving. You would wind up getting arrested if you did that in public. )

Lol,Nora and Tom! Maybe that would have helped me last night! Nora I'm with Tom, who cares what you're taking, being sober is what counts. I'm still disappointed by my intense desire to drink last night. It came out of the blue and I was doing so good. I feel like Im back at day one struggling. Wake for my "aunt" on the agenda for this evening. Maybe I'll check in later.

All that matters is you didn't drink, you cant control what pops into your head but you can choose not to act on it. Give yourself a break pls and it would be nice if you checked in again.
