Hi all: Had a truly fantastic weekend, probably the best yet. I didn't really do anything special, just felt great, lots of laughs with my wife, long walks on the beach with the dogs, barbegue and football. It's 162 days now and it feels really good. Right now, I couldn't imagine any reason why I would take a drink but then again alcohol is an insideous foe.
Hope everyone is doing well, and Mary don't beat yourself up, live and learn.

Barry: Thank you so much for your words & your recounting of your weekend. It sounds great. I feel OK right now. I am starting another Day 1 today, because I want my count to be completely accurate. I use DrinkTracker & want it to reflect my true progress. MWO is the only place I'm absolutely honest, & I want it to stay that way. I really like this daily thread. Thanks for starting it. Mary

heya Barry, Mary and all to come
very weird not having a job to go to on this lovely Monday....kind of nice. too bad it won't pay the bills to sip coffee staring at the mountains..oh well.
This year has been the year of new beginnings for me...so this is not bad at all to be seeking a new job...seems fitting.
Be well everyone!

Hi Everyone, Barry, Mary, Deter,

I'm just posting quickly. If I can't get on for the next few days, please don't worry. I'm having computer problems. I just lost my last post to Mary (waving to you, honey!), because the wireless remote on Maddy's old desktop is not that reliable. Hopefully it won't be a big issue. I installed a new program on my computer, and now the internet doesn't work. I may have to call the Geek Squad or something.

At any rate, I just wanted to say hi and let you know I'm fine. I miss talking to all of you and reading your posts. I have to run now, but hopefully, I can get back on later.

Frustrated but sober,
Hugs:l

Good evening all, boy it's quiet around here today.

Barry, your weekend sounds wonderful and relaxing, almost like a vacation at home. I can't think of anything nicer.

Mary, I like your idea of honesty. I think I would start at Day 1 too. Nevertheless, I would still feel that I had accomplished something very worthwhile with my abstinence. I sure do hope that you feel like you accomplished something valuable, because you did. You have learned a lot from your experience, and it will serve you well.

Deter, you have a good attitude about being out of work for the time being. I can't help but feel that it won't be for very long. So enjoy sipping your coffee and looking at the mountains! It won't be long until you are back to the grind again. Here's to new beginnings!

Hey Starlight, here's a wave for you as you fly by.

Good to see you, Don. Happy Day 38. You have really impressed me with your commitment to sobriety. It's good to see you feeling so good.

Anyway, my 'puter is fine except for the internet stuff. I'm using Maddy's old desktop for the internet right now. She has always complained that the internet didn't work well, but it's working for me, thank goodness. I was afraid I would go into MWO withdrawal. I need my daily MWO fix.

At any rate, that's about all for now. I hope everyone continues to be well.

Hugs,:l
Kathy
