    SOBER OCTOBER

    It's the romantic comedy that I love in the movie....not the drinking. They just love each other so much.

    And Tom, I forgive you. You are young. :H My nephew & family won't watch black & white movies either. :H

            Hmm..tough crowd. At the moment I'm raising a cute, fat little baby frog (yea, u read that right). And what I like about him the most is this...unlike most frogs he doesn't get skittish when you approach him... He simply turns slowly and shows you his ass, lol. Handy trait, I think.

                Woohoo, go Liz! Fantastic.

                Two weeks today, for me. I went to the gym this morning for the first time in ages. Couldn't beliebe how great it felt - even at 6am! I hadn't realised how much alcohol was dragging me down in the mornings. I love how different things are. But I can remember feeling like this before - and somehow it slipped from y grasp here's hoping this time is different.

                Tom, you made me laugh with your description of the mosquito. Jon Kabat Zinn would have suggested you sit very still and get curious (in a non judgemental, accepting way) about the sensation of being eaten alive...but personally, I would just have swatted it away...

                Sober, what lovely thoughts x so awesome we are all here for one another

                    Hey, Quake. Two weeks Is something to be really proud of. Glad you are doing well. As or the mosquito..it was a no win situation-I had to get bit or smack myself in the head. I was curious, that's for sure, but my curiosity was more along the lines of "why did this jackass of a mosquito bite me in the one spot where it's going to look like I have a giant pimple?"

                      Hey, all. Day 40 here. Slept past 5:30 am for the first time in forever. Good start, I needed it and it nice that I'm off from work today. Hope everyone is still laser beam-focused as we approach the half way point. It's been very inspiring and heart warming being here and watching everyone's progress and victories and i can't tell you all enough how valuable it is to me to have the added sobriety incentive of not wanting to let any of you down.

                        Tom, wherever did you get a frog from? My girls (26 k 23) went to spend a week at their grandfathers house in Florida (he passed away in February) this summer. The house has been empty for a bit. After a long flight and drive they arrived at the house having to use the bathroom. There was a frog in the toilet much to their chagrin. I think I heard them screaming all the way up here! Long story short, there is a video of the frogs escorted exodus out of the house, funniest thing I ever saw!

                        Varying from my normal day off routine today. Funeral and repast in a few. Then I'll hit the treadmill.

                        Happy Monday all!

                          Hah. That a great story. Got him at a pet store...I was really into those types of critters growing up and I really wanted to chill with this fat little guy once I saw him. You realize it's a real sign of character banging out a session on the treadmill post funeral, right? Boom.

                            :goodjob: fantastic on 40 days. That would be a huge milestone in my world. Very proud of you, my friend.

                            Funny thing with the swapping grape juice for wine. My DILs reaction to sipping my non-alcohol drink was much more shocking and disgusting than mine sipping wine. Yuk, she cried. Where's my wine??? Drinkers really WANT their drink. That is why I am thrilled that her husband, my son, who fights his alcohol related demons, actually said he enjoyed my non-alcohol beer. His comments about it allowing him to enjoy a beer and still drive home made me happy. He has had his first and hopefully last DUI.

                              Thanks, Sober, and I am happy for you and your son. I read something this morning that made me think of you and Lizann: " whatever you do, remember that the goal of sobriety isn't to earn a halo for your perfection but simply not pick up a drink"

                                Good Morning All,
                                Day 2 over here. Happy to wake up sober and unhung, but I'm feeling quite depressed. I have almost no energy and would prefer to stay in bed all day.
                                But I have a little boy who needs me to play with him, and I have to go grocery shopping today. Right now those seem like huge feats.
                                Hope you all are having a good day.
                                Day 1 again 11/5/19
                                Goal 1: 7 days :heartbeat:
                                Goal 2: 14 days :happy2:
                                Goal 3: 21 days :happy2:
                                11/27/19: messed up but back on track
                                12/14/19: bad doozy but back on track

                                One day at a time.
