Thanks JC for the picture and to Choocie. Where is everyone today??? Is it because Wenesday is not a great day.

As for me I feel great and realise that I have to keep very busy to stop the booze gremlin beckoning me. I have a houseful of family here at the moment which defo keeps me on my toes.

How did the essay go Limers?

Hope you are ok Molly.

Love to all stay strong nearly December:goodjob:

Hi everyone,

Haven't been here in awhile, been dealing with some high anxiety these past couple of weeks and it really came to a head this weekend. I am proud to say that I didn't drink and am at day 89....getting through this stressful time without turning to the booze is painful but huge in my recovery...feeling the deep pain and not numbing it will only make me stronger...

Well, just wanted to say hi and sending everyone well wishes for a wonderful rest of the week. I feel I am coming out of this funk - this too shall pass. My thinking of modding is scary and don't think I will - I want to reap the true benefits of sobriety and it is too soon to try and experiment.

Thanks :l

Hello NOvember crew,

:l Peace, I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety I suffer from that as well and it is just such a rotten feeling to have. I agree with you that you'll only get stronger dealing with anxiety without AL.

Hi Dew, I've been really enjoying yoga myself, I haven't started meditation yet but it's in my plan.

Anon, you look amazing running that race!!

One2, Choochie, Jackie, Molly, Neart, and everyone to come!!! :h:h

New Zealand is in a terrible day of mourning. It is confirmed that the miners have not survived the second explosion. Its a sad day. :l

Terrible news from Greymouth NZ So sorry for those miners and their families. What a tragedy.

Tonight I should be at a big wine tasting event but instead having a lovely sober evening at home and will go and pick husband and friends up soon. So brilliant not to have fallen for the biggest temptation this month.

Hope everyone is OK??

Where is everyone tonight?? This must be the first time I?ve been absent and have very little to read back. Guess Thanksgiving holidays will be keeping some away but not all of us, I miss you all already!!!! I had a wonderful meditation class and now feel full of beans and it?s past bedtime so I?ll be sorry in the morning if I don?t settle down soon

Peace sorry you have been going through a tough time but glad you are still with us, I was thinking of you and Enja the other day, has anyone heard from her? I hit my 3 months AF tomorrow and we have all been on this journey together. Choice I saw the reports of the disaster in NY today and it really is awful, all those families affected my heart goes out to them all. I heard that 2 of the men are from my neck of the woods.

Hope you are okay Molly and will be bouncing back soon, Hi to JC, Oney, Limers, Choochie and anyone else lurking.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! It got up to 10 below zero today! Heat wave. The sun always shines here though so it's not dreary or anything. I want to be a runner, anon! I will start with the treadmill I dusted yesterday and go from there.:H Deciding what kind of pies to make tonight. One kid home safely and now waiting for the other two. Sorry for the worries, Molly, maybe your sister will soften up when faced with her husband's illness. That tends to happen sometime. :goodluck: Not a drop of alcohol in the house and no one has cared, no temptation is good. Have a great night everyone!!

Happy Thanksgiving eve Happy, and everyone celebrating. I am homesick!! I love Thanksgiving. I couldn't figure out what was so wrong with me yesterday (aside from all the usual stuff :H) And I'm thinking hormones. This self awareness is quite a trip, always something not to drink about. I thought I'd want to celebrate it here, but it really doesn't feel like Thanksgiving seeing as it's spring. And there aren't really any turkeys here. I think they come up for sale around Christmas... but ah well. What I miss most about Thanksgiving is remembering to be thankful. This year, while I'm not celebrating I do feel thankful for finding MWO, being sober, and getting engaged.

Dewdrop, there were two men from Scotland. :l It's sad they can't be buried on home soil. I was thinking about Enja the other day as well. I hope she pops in soon to say hello.

Hello to everyone else to come. I agree where is everyone?? I'm going to be going out of town for the weekend tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'm going to bring my computer. I've been a shut in the past few days with a stained hamstring. :h

Hey Choice, maybe you can make a smaller Thanksgiving for yourself and your guy. Pie is the best part anyway and you can buy those!!:lol3: My parents have been gone for a year now staying with my brother who had stage four cancer. He is doing really well now, so that we are all grateful for. Our holidays are very small. Siblings live far away. I felt a little sad last year, but now we just gather whoever and have them anyway. It's a feeling that you can make for yourself. I hope you do :l And then put up a Christmas tree the next day and start looking at it every night in the dark. Now THAT'S meditation! Good night, sweet dreams:armsaround:

Hey happy, I'm glad to hear your brother is doing well now, my goodness, yes that is something to be thankful for. I didn't even think of the pie part!! The pumpkins are different here too. Hmmmm I think next year I gotta prepare for this and figure out something. But, I think I'll take your advice and buy some kind of pie just for the fun of it. I love looking at Christmas lights, so will put up a tree for sure the day after and just get into the spirit right away. Muchas gracias! I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving sometimes the gathering of whoever celebrations are the best ones. We use have orphan or transplant Thanksgivings sometimes when people couldn't get home to their families. Such memorable times. xo
