Yeah we did last week also but it’s back again for one last hit before February is over. I find February is the worst month in Summer

Lasted an hour at the beach before we noticed the sky change and heard sudden distant thunder. Headed home and my daughter took this in the car 5 minutes from home, drove into the garage as the first drops of rain and hail hit… phew it was a close one!!

Here’s my rainbow from 20 mins ago. The storm skirted below and across us, missing us completely… so far.

Someone had clearly gotten there first and stolen it!!!

I was looking through some old videos today of some beautiful thunderstorms I sat through on multiple days whilst on holiday in Maleny QLD a couple years back. Just a stunning place.

I esp love watching thunderstorms roll in (storm chasing is at the top of my bucket list) but not so fun when stuck in my car with all the kids

19 days no beer. It’s a record for me since I was 14 in 1988.

G’day Gary
I’m a new member. Just figuring out how this app works. I saw any aussies in the house? I immediately wanted to post a picture of my Australian Shepard. Lol. But it says new users can’t post pictures. 2 weeks sober, 2 weeks ago I was 50 days sober.

Hi Connie welcome to the forum! I can see your adorable Aussie shepherd as your avatar there’s alot of threads to read through and it takes a bit to familiarise yourself with it all. The below may be helpful to you
Great to see you here

Thanks. Feeling OK.
A couple of things have changed. I have not decided to take a break from drinking, or to cut down. I have realised I cannot control my drinking and decided I will not/cannot drink.
3 weeks ago nearly to the minute I had a massive car accident. Fortunately I wasn’t hurt. On the way to the hospital to get checked all I could think about was how it could have been so easily my kids looking at my grave. That feeling of guilt, shame and despair was incredibly strong. I try to remember that feeling a couple of times a day to remember why it is I am not drinking any more.
My kids and wife have told me they are proud of me. Which is scary to know they see how hard it has been in the past to not drink. Even for a week it was impossible.
