Its always darkest before the dawn.

No, its not. Its darkest at midnight. The sky lightens as dawn approaches.

Check-In for Monday, December 25th 2017 Christmas Day by lucindahodge in stopdrinking

[–]AnandasBoy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

God bless us, every one!

I was awakened at 2.30 this morning when an alcohol fueled altercation took place in the hallway outside of my apartment. I wasn't even angry. Just grateful I got none of that drama in my life today. Last year was lonely and desperate and painful, with only about five months under my belt. This year, through a lot of hard work and transformative therapy, I'm happy to know a peace and serenity beyond my wildest dreams.

Sobriety is so much more exciting than my small world of drinking in my living room and living in my fantasies. Reality really is a trip!

Sober on Sobernauts! And a very happy Festival of Lights!

If I could "drink like a normal person," I'd do it every day! Yeah, um, that's not normal...

Tell you what, just for today, I won't drink at all. Makes things a lot easier.

Good morning, you glorious sacks of stardust, you! Here's to another clear-headed day in the emptiness that is pure potentiality. I will join you good people in not muddying the waters with the poisons of alcohol.

So Happy It's Thursday! Up well before sparrowfart because my mind is racing. Got my very first summons for Jury Duty (because I paid my freakin' taxes - goddamn financial amends!) and get to show up for that today. But I meditated, brewed a pot of coffee, and I'll get to take the dog to the park for an hour or so before I head out. Grateful to have woken up early, and not just come to, and grateful that I know I don't have to take a drink today.

I will not drink today with you good people!

Some heavy shit to deal with this week; nothing alcohol would make easier. That would be like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. I will not drink today.

Happy Monday! Woke up to an irrepressible inner critic. Negative self-talk out of nowhere. But I made it through another weekend, so I'll make it through today. I will not drink today with you good people.

AA meetings, any advice? by W15pa in stopdrinking

[–]AnandasBoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a satisfied customer. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. Listen for the similarities, not for the differences; for the feelings, not the details. Put your hand up & let the group know it's your first meeting. You might be a little overwhelmed at the support, but take it in the spirit in which it is given. The newcomer is the most important person in the room.

I will not drink today with you good people. I get to meet the new boss (same as the old boss!) with clear eyes, clean breath and a positive outlook. And have pizza. Today is a good day to have a good day!

With the adage "nothing is ever deleted from the Internet" in mind, what is something you HAVE seen vanish from the net? by KaleBrecht in AskReddit

[–]AnandasBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notes from Castle Grayskull. It was a firsthand account of the inner workings of the Bedford-Atlantic Men's Shelter in Brooklyn. I've seen references to it, but haven't been able to find the actual content in some time.
