Thank you, thank you, thank you to all for the birthday wishes. And JackyClaire! Where did you learn to bake so beautifully! what a wonderful cake! Thank you.:hug:

I have never had such a wonderful birthday. My family came round for a dinner last night. This morning, I went to the rehabs Sunday meeting, which was under the trees, in a circle of 65 people. It was the most beautiful, sunny day. I am also 5 months sober today, and the 65 sang Happy Biirthday! Wow, that was awesome!

Another lunch Party at midday, and that crowd only left at 6pm, just in time for the dinner guests to arrive. And I had so many phone calls and whats app messages, oh and, even Google had an array of cakes. Curious, I clicked on it, and a message came up"Happy Birthday Russel"......How on earth do they do that!!! I thought I was hallucinating, so I took a pictute of it with my other phone. Now as soon as I work out how to get it here I will show it to you.

But thanks again for making my day feel special, I so appreciate it!!! XXX

Evening..

Hello Sweatpea, nice to see you and hear more MWO success stories :happy2:
Kuya, great post earlier. I've been thinking about it all day, I know its not as simple a telling your brain to think this way, given the years of hard wiring the opposite way - but certainly something Id like to read more about.

On the smokes, Im off them 15 years now, Id LOVE to think that one day I will be as indifferent to AL as I am to cigarettes now - Difference is that smoking is deemed antisocial now, cant see booze going that way (Imagine a drinking section in restaurants, then they move to only allowing drinking on the streets.. followed by pretend drinks that give you a bit of a hit but without the smelly breath..)

HAHA Sunny, you were logged into Google, maybe gmail - the same thing happened my husband last week - it was a big one for him, so for a moment, we thought maybe!!!

Big congrats on your double celebration! Sounds like a perfect day. You are probably ready to drop!

Evening all, great post Kuya.

Morning lovelies and a VERY happy birthday for yesterday Sunny and congratulations on your 5 months!!

I am just entering my fifth week and feel so very grateful for that. Plus 8 weeks off the pills (bar the one week with toothache) I don't think I have EVER gone that long before at least not for many years. Not drinking is becoming more natural for me now and the struggle is waning. I have a day off today so might try and write my story of relapse and how and why it possibly happened. Talking it through with Chill definitely helped and as always she had lots of wonderful advice. I am so glad that she was around to listen to my tail.

Morning Starty and everyone else,
Quick check in, training and all sorts on today..
Starty, great news to start the week, well done you! Looking forward to reading your story later - Chill sounds like a lovely person - chat later X.
