This reminds me of my daughter when she was 3 and opened all the wrapped gifts the 1st week in December. I was so mad and never wrapped early again. I wait til the last minute and then stress over it. I think this year I’ll take the chance and do it early now that she’s older.

I had one when I lived in NH. Our only source of heat! I still have scars on my arms from stuffing it in the wee hours, lol

I’m still at work as a lot of you wind down for the night. I’ll be here at least another 3.5 hours. Not much planned for tonight. It’s been a long week at work so I just want to go home and chill. Maybe we’ll get the Christmas tree out… Maybe not.

Going to the lady’s work holiday party tonight. Pretty stoked as the place has killllllller food. Then it’s home to relax. Most likely going to get a few rounds of Overwatch in, and watch some movies.

I am going to be in the office for a while today as well — we will see whether that turns into leaving today or tomorrow. LOL
At least so far it looks like I can sneak out this evening for a meeting.

It wouldn’t be a Friday if goat doesn’t have a grumble.

My martial arts school is holding their annual Black Belt/Awards Banquet tonight. Looking forward to it. Was notified that I passed my test for 2nd degree Brown Belt. All that stands between me and Black Belt is about a year of training, and 4 tests.

This is my last night in IOP then I’ll have my Friday nights free. I heard about a great woman’s AA meeting in the area so I think I’ll make that my new place to go.

Finally leaving the office. 9 hrs here today and almost 44 hrs this week. I’m done. My brain is saying I’d really like a drink right now. But I know that would be a stupid thing to do. I feel very anti social and anti Christmas tonight. Ugh. Maybe some good sleep will help with that. Hope everyone else has a good night.

As I do every Friday I’m at my dojang teaching classes. I have some time between so I’m checking in. It occurred to me that I’m not watching the clock fixating on when I get to drink next. 11pm tonight will be 21 months sober. I’m glad that is in the past.

Happy its finally the weekend! Seems like this week dragged on and on. Time to chill out tonight and I’ll drag one of my kids with me tomorrow to get a Christmas tree. Getting close to my one year sober anniversary.

Went for a run with my dog after I got home from work. Hoping it helps me sleep tonight. We’re going to watch the new episode of Mandalorian later. Lots of hot tea coming in my future because the cravings are strong.

Did you ask Santa for new slippers this Christmas?
Edit: I should really read the full thread before I comment. @C_8 beat me to the punch…

Has to be the right flavor. I found one that has cinnamon and such in it that I really like. I also use a liquid stevia sweetener. I can’t drink it unless it’s got a bit of sweetness. My other go to is a Honey Lavender one that is calming. The more I drink it the more I like it. And it has to be hot. Really hot.

I’m with you on this I think, at least in part. I do love english tea with milk for breakfast, but that’s about it. When I joined TS I asked for substitute drinks. There were tons of herbal tea suggestions, and I ordered a lot of them… from Amazon… and I didn’t read the quantities. I must have close to 60 boxes of the stuff and can’t get into any of them Same with Chai teas.
