Everyone Have A Great Weekend!!

Alcohol

Hi all, still having computer problems at home, blasted thing, so thought I'd wish everyone a great weekend before I left work since I might not be able to check the boards over the weekend. I don't have any plans other than doing stuff around the house and maybe going for a hike if it's not too hot. I hope everyone has a great sober weekend, and I will see you all Monday!

:)

Hi Ciaobella! Hope you have a good weekend too! I didn't think i was going to get back on til Sunday, but my H had to work late tonight so i got a chance;) Hope you are doing good, and have a nice hike. That's something that always takes my mind off of things and refreshes me too. Hope it does the same for you my dear;)
Hugs,
Jayde

Hey Ciaobella, VWGirl, and Jayde have a good one and did you hear the one about the two nuns driving down the road when a vampire jumps onto the bonnet. The nun driving yells to the other nun quick show him your cross... and she leans out the window and yells GET OFF THE FU**ING BONNET. LMAO

Light and love Zac

Too funny!

LOL Zac, thanks for the laugh! I could use it, I found out the moment I got home Friday that my favorite uncle passed away that morning & I can't go to the funeral, no $$ for plane ticket. I didn't even know he was sick :( But I stayed sober at least, there's that anyway. And today is the 9th anniversary of my brother's death, can't believe it's been that long. I didn't get to go for my hike this weekend, it rained from Saturday morning till last night (and that NEVER happens here!), so I used the weather as an excuse to stay in my PJ's & drink tea pretty much all weekend. I hope everyone else had a good one... gotta go now, it's quitting time here, but hope to be back soon! Good evening to everyone...

Hey Ciaobella sorry to hear about your uncle, i can quarantee he will let you know he is okay in spirit and watching over you in a way that you will know can only be him. Good on you for not drinking. For me i used to save all things good or bad up for a drinking binge on them. So keep up the good work and keep posting.

Light and love Zac

Condolences to you CB and your family as well...you are going through "the no matter whats..." it's as simple as we just don't drink no matter what...and believe me I've had a lot of "no matter whats"...but a drink would only be a temporary fix for me and I would come to and I'd still have all the stuff happening that I drank over, but would not be able to handle "situations that use to baffle me", like I can do now in sobriety.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys... I hadn't seen my unc in a few years since he lived 1000 miles from me but he was a wonderful man, the kind of person you get a warm, comforting feeling just being around him... funny you should say that Zac about him letting me know... I went for coffee this morning and saw a man at the coffee shop who looked sooo much like my uncle J... I took it as a sign. The same thing happened to me right after my mom died, saw a woman at the grocery store who looked just like her. It's amazing how that works, like the universe was trying to tell me something. Ginge, thanks for the thoughts, hope you're having a GREAT trip!! Get back in touch when you can, OK?

VW it was SO tempting to just get loaded, especially on Monday when I was thinking of my brother & missing him. But in the end I think it was him who kept me from doing it... kind of like he wouldn't want his memory celebrated that way. And I sure wouldn't want to use him as an excuse to get drunk...

I had a dream last night about drinking and doing coke... very vivid... when I woke up I felt a weird mixture of relief and disappointment that it was just a dream. But hey, I guess dreaming about it is better than actually doing it, right? Wishing a happy sober day to all my friends here...

CB, remember its easier to stay sober than get sober...using and drinking dreams are common. Hang tight, be accountable to someone about your sobriety.....

Hey Ciaobella i used to have drinking dreams that real that i used to get up and check if i had piddled by the bed and i would think what have i done and why did i drink, because i drank to blackout i didn't know if i had or not till i thought it all through and worked out it was only a dream. Now i dream about a lot better things than drinking but thats another addictionLMAO

Light and love Zac

Hey VW & Zac, thanks for the words... I've had those dreams before but this one was SO vivid... I could almost taste coke in my mouth when I woke up, ick. Still truckin here... hope you guys are well too!

P.S. LOL, Zac, my imagination is running away with me...

I have a recurrent dream that I leave the state of California, go drink where no one knows me, come back and try to pull it off like I'm still sober and I can't...I have to come clean with my Sponsor, actually it's more of a nightmare!
15
LOL, VW, that does sound like a nightmare, too much effort involved in that one! Funny last night I dreamed I was drinking nonalcoholic cider with a recovering alco I have a bit of a crush on (but can't date for professional reasons, no fair!)... that one was better!
