Perfect response to your little hermanito
I love the Spanish. I canât believe all my years in Austin and working in restaurants I never learned Spanish. Except Caliente
So happy your Chucho is continuing to do well.
What kind of cookies? Christmas?
Welcome back. I donât know what happened but I think thatâs part of the deal here, weâre always welcome back if we are seeking support in sobriety.
Not much to report tonight but checking in on lucky Day 13, no alcohol!
It makes me happy to see you back here. Your determination is remarkable. Baking is a good distraction. Baked goods donât stand a chance getting to my family. Iâd wind up eating everything.
Stay connected and keep us updated on your journey. Sending you strength and love.
Love this. My Mom likes knickknacks, and I bought her a coaster with this on it a few years backâŚ
I hope you are doing well, friend. Sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom.
Hang in there. You are strong and you can
Family like this is true family. Awesome conversation
Day 4 checking in. Keep well everbody, and have a day that makes you think âwow this is what life is all aboutâ
Those are the best days!
Some kind of ginger cookie probably and maybe some more trail mix/granola cookies because hubby has been good.
Oh. Love ginger. When I worked at Magnolia Cafe in Austin they had gingerbread pancakes on the menu. They were the best thing I ever had in my mouth
I hope you have a good day tomorrow without pain.
Day 164.
Ups and downs galore, but sober all the same, and still relieved Iâm not coping by uncorking a bottle. Two lovely highlights - seeing my sweet Mama at the end of a long day, and⌠finding Noisy! So glad to hear that, @Misokatsu
@Luisa53 please take good care and stay with your friend. Sending love and strength and best wishes for your Momâs quick return to health
@Mno my therapist said there is real truth in the saying: scar tissue is indeed stronger. If it breaks you in two, youâll still land on your feet - I know it, and be all the more grounded. When youâre hurting, weâre here, just as you are for us. Hugs and love.
@BOBISGONE1 welcome back! and nice to meet you.
Gânight all - letâs do it all up again tomorrow.
I knocked my day 8 out of the park. Itâs crazy how the mind can bounce back. Last week I was out for the count and couldnât keep a postive thought. I just had a beauty of a day. I know not all days will be like this but it sure gives me hope. I just need to keep my postive energy at bay. I know my biggest trigger is just feeling good. When life is good I forget, slip and drink. I have to keep reminding myself that. This has been the biggest trigger I battle. I have to keep reminding myself that when I drink, it is one hundred percent opposite. I end up climbing out of a hole depressed and almost loosing everything. But amazing what a week can do. Congratulations everybody that made it through another day.
Is that the magnolia that is the company of chip and his wife that have the renovation show fixer upper!?
Day 768, day 48 diet coke. Wow, I am impressed by me, almost 50 day w/o diet coke. Sometimes it is really hard not to give in but I know then what it is most of the times: thirst, real thirst. When I think of it and really think of the taste, I cannot say that I like it. Strange, like wine. And unlike wine I am not even drunk. So all the positive things I could have fantasised into drinking alcohol is not even there. Still, got wasted (together with lots of other unhealthily habbits/problems) my teeths.
Anyway, I am okay this morning. Cannot move my upper body, haha, all the chaturangas, so push ups, did their best. I ordered another kettlebell that should be delivered around Xmas. Letâs see.
Atm I am listening to a philosophy podcast that is for high school kids to pass final exams. Really interesting, canât stop listening and thinking. I am always interested in such things, never had that in high school.
I wish everyone a good, sober Friday !
Do you need some help? I hope youâre okay, you can tell us what is going on and maybe we can offer support.
