I find alot of stowaway birds on the boat in the mornings on overnight trips. land based birds like sparrows and swallows. I try not to disturb them so they can use the boat to help them get back to shore.

Looks like Independence Day!
There’s been a drought for a couple of years here. Around the middle of December it started raining, finally. We got about 10 inches in December, and so far in January we have around 15 inches. Yesterday we got a surprise day of sunshine, and it was amazing to see the plant life looking so happy.

We haven’t spent too much time up North of us, yet. That’s on our agenda in the coming months. Last summer I made it up to the San Juan islands and kayaked in the straight though, and that was amazing.

Amazing photo!!! And what a story to go along with it.
Thanks for sharing this.
It gets my vote for best so far in the thread (Jason and Tom are a close second).
You should blow that up and hang it! Beautiful.
Donna, is that today? Is it warm enough for people to have their shirts off?
Yes, I just got back from my bike ride!

Imperial Sand Dunes, California, Gordons Well sunrise. First time I’ve gotten up early enough to take a sunrise picture there. Sobriety has its perks😁

Wow. That’s an amazing sight. It’s funny how a picture shared in this space feels more personal than if I seen it anywhere else. I must post a view that I should not take for granted.

Many times I’d come to this site with a hangover, pedialyte water, sunscreen and sleep the hangover off.
I’d leave this site with a feeling of wanting to stop drinking and be a better person. Hopefully this time, I can resist the temptation and reach a place of health and peace.

It’s mad how simple steps can be so hard to take. Just keep aiming for the moment in front of you. Sometimes I find it really easy, then out of nowhere a notion comes over me and I really struggle to get myself not to fuck up. How’s it going now?
Its not too bad but then again I’ve retreated in my house like a hermit. I feel like so long as I stay in my “safe” zone I wont mess up. I dont really have alot of cravings because I’m on Natrexone and 5 other meds for anxiety and stuff. My battle is mostly dealing with my emotions that bring on anxiety and distress without wanting to pour me some patron.
I’m hoping it will get easier as time goes on.
