Hello, everyone!

I hope you all have had a good day! AG, I love you! You are always making me smile!

I want one of everything you have lol!!!

I do, too, AngelsBreath! Just haven't found a money tree, yet!

Howdy DV'ers! Hope you all have a Super Sunday!

Mmmm coffee. Sounds good!

Hey... are you following me...??

I slept all day, had dinner, and then did homework. Was as good as could be! Hope you had a great day, yourself, Sonic!

Good afternoon DV! I won't whine about how hot it is, but it's hot and humid here
Happy Sunday!

Good evening, Stoneface! I'm glad you didn't whine about the heat! I'll try not to whine about how cold my house is!

YUUUUP! Food is my down fall..........it's sooooo delicious.

It was mine, too, Zygote. I have been making some bad choices, lately, but we no longer have any $$ to order out for pizza or get fast food. At least not until next payday, which is over a week away.

Well I was introduced to Bill W when my Mom became friends in January of 1985. My sponsor and I actually met in college... She actually came up to me one day in the cafeteria and said you're kinda angry aren't you and the flood gates opened lol... Then she and this guy from Honduras, called Melvin the Wino, 12 stepped me until I started being willing to go on my own

Glad that your sponsor reached out to you, Ree!

Lilac I love your avatar! I love anything pink! It's my favorite color!

Mine, too, if you couldn't already tell. I like Lilac's avatar, too!

I'm VERY thankful! I know lately on here I've been complaining alot because of all that's been going on and I need to apologize for that! I'm not normally like that and that's why I called my sponsor in tears Friday and told her I NEEDED a meeting and couldn't drive. Thank God that I've got good friends that love me because she volunteered to come out to my house (25 miles) to pick me up then back to downtown Olympia where she lives and was to a meeting... This was at 9pm for a 10pm candlelight meeting at our local Alano club... That's the wonderful thing about this group of people we become like family and when one of us is hurting we drop everything and go to their aid.

We got there and there was a newcomer woman that was really hurting and we started talking to her then the three of us went to go in and I turned and whispered to my sponsor "just what I needed... A newcomer to get me out of myself!"

Thank you all for putting up with my pitty party and being supportive! You're a wonderful group of people!

Oh, I have those pity parties, too often. Glad you have some great friends that could give you a ride. That graphic is so true, too!

Thank you, Ree. Lilacs are my favorite flowers...hence my SN.

Oh Lilac! I love when I see your name and avatar! Not only are you sweet, but I love lilacs, too! They bring back some good memories of my childhood.

Take care, everyone and have a great night!

Congratulations to all three of you! Great job!

Thanks Tina!

That is wayyyy hot! I don't handle the heat well...or the cold for that matter! 85 with a slight breeze is perfect!!!

CONGRADULATIONS! Willpower can get you through anything. I have to check myself too, a couple of beers is enough.

Nope, I have no willpower. Its all Jesus that gets me through each day!!! I'm so thankful for God's grace!!!

Wow, thats an awesome story! Thanks for sharing!

Nope nothing to do with willpower there is no way my will power could've done this! This is alot of self inventory work and letting my higher power take control and do the rest!

No, thank YOU! I so needed to hear this tonight! I've been in a funk since last night...I'm part of a college home fellowship at my church and since getting clean and sober its been really scary for me to form relationships and let my guard down because I'm afraid of being judged by people from all the horrible stuff from my past that I'm really not proud of..not just drugs and alcohol...So anyway...I've been really trying to get to know people more and have been putting myself out there and last night at group, this guy said that a beer sounded really good and so another guy went to the store and bought a 12 pack of beer and a 6 pack of Smirnoff.... There were quite a few people there that knew about my past and that I'm an alcoholic and only 2 people asked me if I was okay, which I said I was (even though i wasnt) because I hate confrontation and IM the one with the problem, not everyone else. Seriously though, we were at a church gathering with beer and Smirnoff...does this seem odd to anyone else?!?! So yea... I didn't drink, but it made me really uncomfortable because it was just too close for comfort! I don't even have two years!!! I mean come on, if I wasn't an alcoholic but i knew someone there was, there is no way in hell I would even consider drinking in front of him!!!

Sorry for the rant, I'm done now.

But the important thing to realize and remember here is that you didn't drink and you made it through that "test." Pat yourself on the back and remember that you can do it next time. There are plenty of inconsiderate people around you, and it will happen again. Now you know you can handle it

OMG kalebk07;9981096

That's really difficult, I literally ran from Ft. Worth TX back home to WA to escape the drugs. I couldn't stop even though I was pregnant. I honestly don't know what I would do without my 12 step program... And I just hate mentioning it here because I'm breaking the traditions by doing so. We're supposed to remain anonymous at the level of press radio and films and our general service office in NY has ruled that that tradition should include social media as well. In the same sense though I believe when a fellow alcoholic or addict reaches out for help our primary directive should overrule that. So here I am! Sweet heart any time you feel like you wanna pick up or just need to chat you can pm me and I'll do my best to try and get you hooked up with some men in your area! We always recommend that newcomers stick with the same sex unless that person is gay/lesbian because that way sex never gets in the way of recovery.

Never EVER let yourself be put in a sticky situation like that again! That's one of the reasons our 12 step programs work so well is because of the fellowship because when you get in sticky situations you can always pick up the phone

Honey if you're serious about not using and drinking you gotta put that first because without that recovery you won't have anything else

If you want you can pm me and I'll give you my number and I'll see if I can find good meetings in your area... I know people that have been to meetings all over the world!

That is strange, KalebK. Alcohol at a church gathering. Although, we have a lady minister around here that has her church service right inside a bar! They can drink whatever they want and smoke during the service. Even though I find it odd, I guess it's okay, as Jesus hung around outcasts, himself.

Anyway, I'm glad that you were able to resist temptation, but I would've left as soon as the beer came in. It's like me and food. I told my husband that if he orders pizza and eats it, I'm leaving the room and he is NOT allowed to follow me. Although, I have given into temptation, lately. It's so hard when it's sitting in front of you. Kudos to you for resisting last night.

Well, I'm just wandering around the internet, bored out of my mind. Hope you all have a great day and for those who are sleeping, I hope you are resting well!

Happy MONDAY everyone. My vacation is over, knee brace on & back to the job location. kalebk07, sounds like your support system needs some fine tuning. I would not be in a group setting with non supportive people around me, it is what it is. Some people have no idea what addiction is, and the struggles an addict goes threw daily. The more time away from the last *?* it does get better. Stay strong & be your self!!

All you Bill W. folks hang in there. After 34 years, it's just not an option any more no matter where I'm at, or what anyone around me is doing. It will get better, and easier as you begin to live your new life.

Now analogs were a different matter. It took me another 30 years after my sobriety date to tackle the 2.5 pack a day habit, but thanks to ecigs that too is a thing of the past and no longer an option.

Just remember to be grateful, and remember to keep "there but for the grace of God" foremost in your thoughts.

Very wise words, RodeoGeorge!

Well, I just placed a big order with DV! Hubby saw my Kanger eVod kit and had to have his own! He choose the blue kit. Also bought a couple MT3's to try out, along with a 5-pk of coil replacements. I went to check my email to make sure I was calling the MT3's the right name and I just saw that 2 hours after I made the order, Eric shipped it out! WOW! Great service, Eric! Thanks!

Bought a bunch of samples of eLiquid, too. Found a site that sells 1 ml samples, but they are 12 mg of nic. Too much for me and not enough for hubby! But at least we get to try them out and see if we like them.

Well, I am trying to stay up until my brother comes down from upstairs around 3 PM, as I have something for him. I don't know if I'll make it, though, as I've been up since 6:30 PM, yesterday! It's a little over an hour away that he'll be coming down and I don't know if I can make it! LOL!

Take care, everyone, and have a great day!
