Reminds me of the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia (the winding roads & colourful trees)

@Fireweed. You are such a strong person, Hanna. Iā€™m in awe of your fortitude, courage, resilience, etc, etc, etc. Wishing you all the best, my dear.

Good morning friends. Today is 399 days sober for me. Love the milestones but love just being sober. I thought about you all while I was away on my golf trip with friends. There was booze and beer all around me, but I never felt tempted. I frequently thought, ā€œwhat would I tell my ā€˜daily greetingā€™ friends?ā€ You kept me strong.

There was an ā€˜incidentā€™ in which the server at dinner mistakenly brought me a drink with alcohol in it. I took a sip and immediately knew. A couple of my friends tried it and said they couldnā€™t taste alcohol in itā€¦ but they had been drinking for 10 hours. After realizing her mistake, she came back in a panic and apologized. But I must sayā€¦ it tasted like SHIT! I used to think I liked the taste of alcohol. It was pretty gross. Only reaffirms my decision to never, ever drink again!

Stay strong and stay sober, friends!

Love that. Happy that your trip went well :slight_smile::clap:
You know, I donā€™t take even one drop of a tincture made in alcohol. Iā€™m maybe a little over sensitive with this. Could be drunk for the amount of hand sanitizer I use tens of times daily.

Iā€™ve got some medical wipes from my wifeā€™s work. When I use them the smell is awful. Really really strong!

Yep, real spirit. Reminds me of how I drank a bottle of 80 % vodka, cause there was nothing else availableā€¦

Sounds like the sort of thing I would have done. I drank some shit by my standards. I didnā€™t get as far as some though. Thank the gods.

Reminds me of a song in French

Je suis libertine
Je suis une cattine
Je suis si fragile
Quand me tiens le mainā€¦

Itā€™s ok to be fragile Francesca :sparkles:

I made ribs the other day and used a bourbon based bbq sauce. No alcohol content, but the after taste was exactly that of whiskey breath the morning after a big night. Iā€™m happy to say It wasnt at all enjoyableā€¦on the ribs it wasnt noticable, only when I sampled itā€¦

Morning everyone!

Good day yesterday, hope things continue to lift. Doctor will probably up my meds today, weā€™ll see. Hope the side effects donā€™t come back.

@Fireweed halfway is good! Light at the end of the tunnel? Loving the gratitude :hugs:
@ThajokerNL Congrats on 60 days, way to go! :smiley:
@anon12657779 I hope your energy levels swing round. Seasonal change in daylight hours getting to you?
@Salty Iā€™d love to go to Cape Breton some day. Newfoundland too. Cool feel to it I canā€™t quite describe.
@BillS Glad you navigated that well! It does sound like it would be gross. I know hand sanitizer smells strong and gross to me now, and it never bothered me before.
@Frantasticooo Hugs, glad youā€™re okay. Just hang in there!
@funnydad Never thought about sauce! But yeah now that you mention it, Iā€™ve seen bourbon, whiskey, and beer flavouring in barbecue sauce. And vodka sauce for pasta! :face_vomiting: That one I really donā€™t getā€¦ ethanol flavoured? (However, Iā€™ve bought that from the grocery store beforeā€¦ no alcohol-related ingredients in it, and the taste was cheesy and has no hint or anything to do with vodka, so Iā€™m confusedā€¦ :thinking:)
